Ark’s Continued Tesla Stock Accumulation
Ark Investment Management, led by Cathie Wood, showed no signs of wavering from its heavy investment in Tesla, Inc. as the stock faced challenges in gaining momentum. The firm made a significant addition of 28,684 Tesla shares valued at $5.5 million through its flagship Ark Innovation ETF.
Despite initial gains as high as 2.84% in early trading, Tesla’s stock closed the session with a modest 0.35% increase at $191.59.
Ark has been consistently accumulating Tesla shares in the aftermath of the company’s fourth-quarter earnings report, showcasing an unwavering bullish stance on the stock. Wood’s firm anticipates a remarkable surge in Tesla stock valuation, setting a target of $2,000 by 2027, fueled largely by the potential of the robo-taxi service.
