Benzinga – On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest continued its selling spree of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares for the second consecutive day.
The most significant trade involved the sale of 28,659 Tesla shares, despite the electric vehicle maker’s recent stock strength and positive growth projections. At Tuesday’s closing price of $293.34, the trade was valued at $8.4 million.
The Wood-led investment firm sold 24,189 Tesla shares through the Ark Innovation Fund (NYSE:ARKK) and 4,470 shares through the Ark Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:ARKW).
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest sold a significant number of shares in the Elon Musk-led company, continuing a trend despite Tesla’s stock strength in recent sessions.
This move comes after Tesla reported stellar second-quarter deliveries and analysts expressed confidence in further growth in the second half of the year.
Despite the sale, Ark Invest remains bullish on Tesla’s long-term prospects, particularly in the realm of AI. Ark analyst Frank Downing recently predicted that Tesla’s AI training capacity will likely grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 273% from 2021 to 2024, potentially enabling Tesla to be the first to roll out a nationwide autonomous taxi platform.
