Ark Invest Sells $15M Tesla Shares Amidst After Strong Performance

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest has made its first sale of Tesla shares in nine months, offloading $15 million worth of the electric vehicle maker's stock.

The move, spread across Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), saw approximately 63,000 shares sold.

Despite Tesla remaining the largest holding in Ark’s portfolio, comprising 14.6% of ARKK’s assets, the sale has sparked speculation among investors about its implications amidst Tesla’s recent stock price surge.

Tesla’s shares had risen over 10% by the close of trading on the day of the sale, prompting questions about whether Ark’s move was a profit-taking opportunity or part of a broader strategic adjustment.
