Ark purchased shares of **Meta Platforms Inc.** (NASDAQ:META). These trades come amid a broader market context of fluctuating AI-related stocks and strategic shifts within the tech industry. ## The Amazon.com Trade Ark Invest’s flagship fund, **ARK Innovation ETF** (BATS:ARKK), reduced its position in **Amazon.com** by selling 20,000 shares. With Amazon’s stock closing at $253.54, this transaction was valued at approximately $5.1 million. The decision to sell comes as analysts express concerns over potential earnings impacts due to a slowdown in AI model development, which could affect major tech companies, including Amazon. **Read Also: CrowdStrike, Bank of America, Microsoft, Zscaler and Corning: Why These 5 Stocks Are on Investors' Radars Today** ## The Alphabet Trade Ark Invest offloaded 38,273 Class C shares of Alphabet Inc. from **ARKK**. The shares were sold at a closing price of $345.71, resulting in a transaction valued at approximately $13.23 million. This move aligns with recent warnings from Citigroup, which highlighted potential risks to earnings from a slowdown in AI model development. The analysts pointed out that such a slowdown could affect earnings-per-share revisions, posing challenges to the equity rally’s momentum. The sale of Alphabet shares reflects Ark Invest’s strategic response to these market dynamics. **Citigroup’s** analysis, led by **Stuart Kaiser**, emphasized the potential impact of AI safety concerns on corporate earnings. The team identified several factors, including rising bond yields and surging oil prices, that could pose cross-asset headwinds for stocks. These concerns have prompted Ark Invest to adjust its portfolio, as evidenced by the sale of Alphabet shares. ## The AMD Trade Ark Invest also sold shares of **Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.** across its **ARKK** and **ARK Next Generation Internet ETF** (BATS:ARKW) funds, totaling 20,470 shares. With AMD’s stock closing at $493.41, the sell-off amounted to around $10.1 million. This move aligns with a broader sell-off in AI-linked stocks, as investors reassess AI infrastructure spending, impacting AMD and its peers like **Intel** and **Nvidia.** ## The Palantir Trade Ark Invest’s **ARKK** fund sold 34,548 shares of **Palantir Technologies Inc.**, with the stock closing at $173.31, resulting in a transaction value of approximately $6 million. Despite the sale, Palantir’s stock has been on the rise, driven by industry leaders hinting at a slowdown in AI growth, which could reduce competitive pressures on established software vendors like Palantir. ## The Meta Trade In contrast to the sell-offs, Ark Invest’s **ARKW** fund purchased 10,997 shares of **Meta**. With Meta’s stock closing at $665.60, this acquisition was valued at approximately $7.3 million. The purchase follows positive analyst coverage of Meta’s new Muse AI assistant, which has been credited with driving the stock of the **Mark Zuckerberg**-led company upward. While internal testing uncovered security and reliability concerns, the agent remains a key part ofZuckerberg’s vision for personal superintelligence. Last week, Ark purchased $28.1 million of Meta stock. ## Other Key Trades - Sold 466,133 shares of **ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF** (ARKB) from **ARKF** and 1,062,820 shares from **ARKW**. - Sold 36,628 shares of **Coinbase Global Inc**.
