Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management on Friday lapped up more shares in Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) in a week that saw the electric vehicle company’s stock pull back from recent highs amid reports of a regulatory probe related to insider trading.
The firm bought 3,927 shares — estimated to be worth $3.18 million based on Friday’s closing price — in Tesla.
Tesla stock closed 1.1% higher at $809.8 a share on Friday. The stock, which is down 32.5% year-to-date, had sunk 8.6% last week.
Including Friday’s buy, Ark Invest had piled up 59,430 shares in Tesla last week.
The St. Petersburg, Florida-based Ark Invest owns shares in Tesla via three of its active exchange-traded funds — the Ark Innovation ETF (NYSE: ARKK), the Ark Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF (BATS: ARKQ) and the Ark Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE: ARKW).
The three ETFs held 1.66 million shares, worth $1.33 billion, in Tesla ahead of Friday’s trade.
Ark Invest expects the Tesla stock to hit the $3,000 mark by the end of 2025.
Wood in December also started buying shares in the U.S.-listed Chinese electric automaker Xpeng Inc (NYSE: XPEV), which is a much smaller, but fast-growing player.
