On Wednesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Investmade a significant move by buying shares of Tesla IncTSLA, despite the electric vehicle giants recent market challenges.
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invests ARK Next Generation Internet ETFARKW acquired 33,143 shares of Tesla, a move that came on the heels of a turbulent period for the company. The value of this trade, based on the closing price of $215.99 on the same day, is approximately $7.16 million.
This purchase is particularly noteworthy given the context of Tesla‘s recent performance. The company’s second-quarter financial results, reported on Tuesday, showed a revenue beat but an EPS miss.
Furthermore, Tesla‘s automotive revenue dropped 7% YoY to $19.9 billion, marking its second straight quarter of YoY sales declines. This was the first time the company had experienced consecutive quarters of declining sales volume. Despite these challenges, Ark Invest has shown confidence in Tesla’s long-term prospects.
On Tuesday, Ark Invest sold nearly $3.7 million worth of Tesla shares in continuation of a recent trend.
