Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Continues To Load Up On Tempus AI, Dumps Bitcoin-Focused Block In Tech Meltdown Aftermath

Benzinga · Mar 12 01:29

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood's Ark Invest executed notable trades, including significant activity involving Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:TEM), Block Inc. (NYSE:XYZ), and DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ:DKNG). These trades come amid a backdrop of market volatility and strategic repositioning by Ark Invest.

The Tempus AI Trade

Ark Invest's ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:ARKK) made a substantial purchase of 94,251 shares of Tempus AI, valued at approximately $4.29 million, based on the closing price of $45.58. Tempus AI recently reported its fourth-quarter earnings, revealing a revenue miss but an earnings-per-share beat. Despite the revenue shortfall, the company provided strong guidance, which may have influenced Ark's decision to increase its stake.

In a recent market environment characterized by a tech sector downturn, Ark has been actively acquiring shares in companies like Tempus AI. Amid Monday's tech stock meltdown, Wood had acquired Tempus AI stock worth $13.23 million.

The Block Trade

On the same day, Ark Invest's ARKK ETF sold 203,659 shares of the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC)-focused company Block — amounting to approximately $11.26 million at the closing price of $55.29. Block's recent earnings report showed a revenue miss.

Despite the revenue miss, Block's CEO, Jack Dorsey, remains optimistic about achieving a "Rule of 40" run rate by the end of the year.

The DraftKings Trade

Ark Invest also reduced its holdings in DraftKings by selling 23,195 shares from the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:ARKW), valued at approximately $896,718, based on the closing price of $38.66. DraftKings recently reported its fourth-quarter earnings, which included a revenue miss during a challenging period for the sports betting industry.

Despite the revenue miss, analysts have highlighted DraftKings' resilience and potential for future growth.

Other Key Trades:

Sold shares of Roku (ROKU) from the ARKF, ARKQ, and ARKK.
Bought shares of Ibotta Inc. (IBTA) for the ARKF and ARKW.
Sold shares of Roblox Corp. (RBLX) from the ARKF, ARKK, and ARKW ETFs.
Sold shares of CareDx Inc. (CDNA) from the ARKG ETF.
Bought 6,495 shares of CRISPR Therapeutics AG (NASDAQ:CRSP) for the ARKK and ARKG ETFs.

Review on February 27...

$Hang Seng Index (800000.HK)$ $HSI Futures Current Contract (HSIcurrent.HK)$ The day before yesterday's review mentioned that the estimated previous top of 23,700 was not the peak. Yesterday it immediately broke through, and the increase was unexpectedly close to 1,000 points, as the short-term trading underestimated the extent of the rise. Therefore, many positions were previously entered in a bearish way, but in the end, the bears exited with stop losses at the close.Today, after hitting the high near 24,000 in the early session and entering bearish positions, the index fell sharply by nearly over 600 points, immediately recouping yesterday's losses significantly.Moreover, today it broke the new high again, reaching a maximum of 24,076, but by the end of the market, it fell back by about 70 points, producing a bearish candle. The current trend has not yet been broken, but from the previous low until now, it has risen close to 6,000 points. It is believed that those with positions can continue to hold until there is a clear trend reversal for profit-taking. Those without positions can wait for a pullback to get in. Actually, it is hoped for a quick pullback, as it allows for entry and also provides a healthy breath.Currently, the outlook remains the same as before. It is believed that even if there is a pullback, it shouldn't be too deep. However, if Futures fail to stabilize and close below 22,350, there may still be room for decline. The chance of Futures falling below 21,400 in the short term should be low, so it is considered that if a significant pullback occurs, it presents a good opportunity to incrementally go long. Recently, there has been a consistent approach to not hold positions overnight, only focusing on immediate trades, as there is no high chasing and no casual short selling.
Support and resistance can be referenced based on spot prices.
Support levels are 23150, 23250, 2...
