Cathie Wood-led investment management firm Ark Invest on Monday sold 182,283 shares —estimated to be worth $210.87 million — in Tesla Inc TSLA, booking more profit in the electric vehicle stock as it continues to rise after recently joining the $1 trillion market capitalization club.
Tesla shares rose nearly 4% on Monday to close 1.74% higher at $1,156.87 a share on Monday. The stock has risen 58.5% year-to-date.
The St. Petersburg, Florida-based Ark Invest has been booking profit in the stock since early September when shares of the Elon Musk-led company started rising after months of sluggish performance.
Including the latest sale, the popular money managing firm has sold about $2.21 billion worth of shares in Tesla since the start of September.
Tesla continues to be Ark Invest's biggest bet across ETFs — a stock it predicts would hit the $3,000 mark by the end of 2025.
Ark Invest sold Tesla shares via the Ark Innovation ETF ARKK, the Ark Next Generation Internet ETF ARKW and the Ark Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF ARKQ on Monday. No other ARK Invest ETF owns shares in Tesla.
