Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Buys $3.95M Worth Of Amazon Stock Amid Company's Nuclear Moves

On Monday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made a significant move by purchasing shares of Amazon.com Inc AMZN. This comes amidst recent developments suggesting that Amazon may be ramping up its interest in nuclear energy to fuel its growing needs.

The Amazon Trade

Ark Invest’s ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF ARKQ fund purchased 20,883 shares of Amazon, reflecting 0.4951% of the ETF. At the closing price of $189.07 on the same day, the value of the trade amounts to approximately $3.95 million. This move follows a series of recent developments around Amazon’s potential foray into nuclear energy.

A Benzinga report, in September, revealed that Amazon had reposted a job opening for a Principal Nuclear Engineer in its Data Center Engineering division, raising questions about its long-term energy strategy. Additionally, Amazon announced the expansion of its collaboration with Intel Corp., which has also positively impacted its stock.

Wood’s confidence in Amazon has sparked a debate on whether this is a signal of the tech giant’s impending turnaround or another high-risk gamble.
