Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest on Thursday sold 40,861 shares — estimated to be worth $41 million — in Tesla Inc TSLA, a stock which despite recent dips is still fetching profit for the popular money manager who bought TSLA shares at far lower levels.
Tesla shares closed 6.10% lower at $1003.80 a share on Thursday. The stock is up about 37.5% so far this year.

A Tesla bull, Wood’s firm Ark Invest bought shares in Tesla via three actively traded exchange funds, namely the Ark Innovation ETF ARKK, the Ark Next Generation Internet ETF ARKW and the Ark Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF (BATS ARKQ) on Thursday.
The three ETFs held 2.07 million shares, worth about $2.07 billion, ahead of Thursday’s trade.
Tesla shares have been on a stark rise after the company reported third-quarter delivery numbers. The surge in share price after months of sluggishness helped the stock join the $1 trillion market capitalization club in October.
The stock tumbled on Thursday after a fresh NHTSA scrutiny on a new feature in Tesla cars that lets users play video games while the vehicle is in motion.
