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.
Cathie Wood has been a vocal supporter of Tesla’s long-term prospects, particularly in autonomous driving and AI technologies, despite the recent divestment.
The timing of the sale, coinciding with Tesla’s strong performance, suggests Ark Invest’s intention to manage its investment tactically while maintaining confidence in Tesla’s innovative capabilities and future growth potential.
