Benzinga10-09

Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest made significant trades in Amazon.com Inc, Robinhood Markets Inc, and Coinbase Global Inc.

The Amazon Trade: Ark Invest purchased 76,505 shares of Amazon, despite recent concerns about the company’s growth trajectory. The trade was executed through its flagship ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK).

This move came after Wells Fargo downgraded Amazon from Overweight to Equal-Weight, citing slowing growth and stiffer competition. The value of this trade, based on the closing price of $182.72, is approximately $13.98 million.

Amazon shares dropped Monday after Wells Fargo downgraded the stock, citing slowing growth and competition. The sell-off was also fueled by a federal judge’s ruling allowing the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Amazon to proceed.

The Robinhood Trade: Ark Invest sold a total of 1,421,431 shares of Robinhood across three of its ETFs i.e. ARKK, ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) and Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF). This decision came despite Robinhood’s recent announcement of its first investor day and the introduction of new trading features. The value of this trade, based on the closing price of $25.61, is approximately $36.4 million.

The Coinbase Trade: Ark Invest bought 12,994 shares of Coinbase through its ARKF ETF. This move aligns with the recent surge in Coinbase shares following the company’s announcement to adjust its service offerings in response to new European regulatory requirements. The value of this trade, based on the closing price of $167.69, is approximately $2.18 million.
