Why It’s Important: Teladoc is the sixth-largest holding in the ARKK ETF with a $315 million stake representing 3.3% of assets.

The stock is a top 15 holding in the other two ETFs as well representing 2.6% of assets in ARKW and 3.4% in ARKG.

Wood bought additional shares as the stock fell, which could show she believes the stock is a good long-term play on the rise of telemedicine and the drop was unwarranted.

Teladoc reported third-quarter revenue up 109% year-over-year to $288.8 million. Total visits increased 206% year-over-year to 2.8 million.

The company expects to end the year with 50 million to 51 million U.S. paid members and 21 million to 22 million visit fee only members.

Price Action: Shares of Teladoc are down 4% Monday to $188.38.
