<div id="readability-page-1"><p>Cathie Wood's ARK Invest ETFs (exchange-traded funds) made notable portfolio changes on Thursday, February 26, as shown in ARK's daily fund disclosures. Wood leveraged the 5.7% dip in Chinese tech giant Baidu's (BIDU) shares, despite the company beating sales and profit expectations for Q4 FY25. ARK Invest funds purchased 97,597 BIDU shares for $12.21 million. The share-price drop came after Baidu reported a 4% year-over-year drop in its revenues, due to continued weakness in its core advertising segment.</p><h3>Claim 50% Off TipRanks Premium</h3><ul><li>Unlock  hedge fund-level data  and  powerful investing tools  for smarter, sharper decisions  </li><li> Stay ahead of the market with  the latest news and analysis  and maximize your portfolio's potential</li></ul> <p>However, Wood appears to be betting on Baidu's AI future, a view echoed by CEO Robin Li, who highlighted strong growth in AI Cloud Infrastructure and growing enterprise recognition of its full‑stack AI capabilities. In Q4, AI‑powered businesses, including cloud infrastructure, AI apps, and robotaxis, generated $1.61 billion, or 43% of total revenue.</p> <h2><strong>Wood's Other Buy/Sell Trades</strong></h2> <p>Wood also acquired 482,407 shares of biotechnology company AtaiBeckley (ATAI) for roughly $1.79 million. ATAI shares plunged 14.1% yesterday, even though the company released positive top‑line Phase IIa data for its R‑MDMA‑derived compound EMP‑01 in social anxiety disorder (SAD).
