Ark has been a buyer of Tesla shares since the stock’s decline late last year. The last sale by the firm ahead of this past week’s liquidation was in early Sept. 2022.

Tesla is still the top holding of Ark’s flagship ARKK fund, accounting for 10.54% of the portfolio. The stock has a 6.89% weighting in ARKW and is the fund’s fourth-largest holding.

Why It’s Important: Tesla is scheduled to report its first-quarter deliveries in April. Tesla bull and Future Fund co-founder Gary Black said this week he expects the company to outperform deliveries expectation from the Street and recommended buying the dip in shares.

Tesla closed Friday’s session at $190.41, down 0.94%, according to Benzinga Pro data.
