ARK Invest Adjusts Portfolio: Sells Tesla, Buys Trade Desk After Strong Q3
Cathie Wood's ARK Invest executed significant portfolio shifts on November 7, divesting from Tesla while increasing exposure to digital advertising. The firm sold 71,638 TSLA shares worth $31.94 million, continuing its gradual reduction of Elon Musk's automaker position. This move coincided with shareholder approval of Musk's controversial $1 trillion compensation package.
ARK's buying focus centered on The Trade Desk, acquiring 316,072 shares valued at $14.51 million following the ad-tech platform's earnings beat. The purchase signals conviction in digital advertising's growth as marketing budgets migrate online. Additional sales included GitLab ($10.79 million) and Roku ($8.91 million), reflecting portfolio rebalancing away from software names.
