Cathie Wood Sells Another $50M In Tesla On Tuesday — Here's What She Bought Instead

Cathie Wood’s Ark Investment Management on Tuesday booked more profit in Tesla Inc TSLA, selling 44,132 shares — estimated to be worth $50.7 million based on the latest closing price — in the electric vehicle maker’s stock.

The Elon Musk-led company’s stock, which had risen about 50% in 2021,  closed 4.2% lower at $1,149.6 a share on Tuesday. 

Tesla shares soared 13.5% on Monday after it reported fourth-quarter delivery volumes that far surpassed expectations. 

Ark Invest owns shares in Tesla via three of its exchange-traded funds — the Ark Innovation ETF ARKK, the Ark Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETFARKQ and the Ark Next Generation Internet ETF ARKW.

The three ETFs held about 1.7 million shares worth $2.05 billion in Tesla, prior to Tuesday’s trade. 

Tesla on Sunday smashed fourth-quarter delivery records, posting its biggest quarterly and full-year delivery volume.
