Cathie Wood Sells Another $53M In Tesla And Buys The Dip In Robinhood

Cathie Wood’s money managing firm Ark Invest on Thursday piled up even more shares in Robinhood Markets Inc HOOD, further raising its exposure in the financial services firm whose shares tanked after the company noted a decline in cryptocurrency activity during the third quarter.

Ark Invest bought 1.29 million shares — estimated to be worth $45.8 million — in Robinhood Markets.

Shares of the company closed marginally higher at $35.47 per share on Thursday and are down 13.6% in the last five days.

Robinhood reported third-quarter revenue of $365 million after hours on Tuesday, up 35% year-over-year but missing analyst estimates of $431.3 million.  

The company noted the cryptocurrency decline was partly due to a fall in demand for Dogecoin DOGE/USD, which touched an all-time high of 74 cents in May and has plummeted over 60% since then.

Wood’s investment management firm held an estimated 9.73 million shares in Robinhood ahead of Thursday’s trade.

Robinhood stock is up 1.87% since its public listing in July.
