ARK Invest often trims holdings in high-conviction winners to rebalance portfolios, lock in gains, and fund emerging bets like Tempus AI, aligning with Wood’s growth-oriented strategy.

Meta Sales Follow Lawsuit Verdicts

Among the largest trades was the sale of 76,622 shares of Meta Platforms META -7.96% ▼ , generating roughly $42 million. The shares were sold through the ARK Blockchain & Fintech Innovation ETF ARKF -3.35% ▼ , the ARK Innovation ETF ARKK -3.59% ▼ , and the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF ARKW -3.89% ▼ funds.

META stock slumped 7.9% yesterday after a Los Angeles jury held Meta and Alphabet’s GOOGL -3.44% ▼ Google liable for fueling youth addiction to social media. The jury ruled these companies failed to protect kids despite known harms after a month-long trial. Potential damages exceed $1.4 billion, with new regulations possible. Meta was also found guilty in a long-standing child exploitation lawsuit in New Mexico and ordered to pay $375 million for violating the state’s children’s safety law.

Nvidia Faces AI Valuation Fears, Developer Backlash

The three funds also disposed of 154,441 shares of semiconductor giant Nvidia NVDA -4.16% ▼ for approximately $26.44 million amid AI valuation fears.

Two game developers, Dave Oshry (New Blood CEO) and David Szymanski (Dusk), called for Nvidia boycott over DLSS 5, Nvidia’s AI upscaling tech dubbed a “generative AI slop filter” that ruins artistic vision with shiny effects. NVDA shares have been under constant pressure this year, despite strong quarterly performance, a solid GTC 2026 event, and visibility of up to $1 trillion in AI revenue by 2027.

Wood Cuts Exposure to Chip Names

ARK trimmed chip exposure amid memory shortages and rising prices:

• 38,245 Advanced Micro Devices AMD -7.49% ▼ shares for $7.8 million (stock down 7.5%).

• 15,696 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing TSM -6.22% ▼ shares for $5.1 million.

• 8,648 Broadcom AVGO -2.95% ▼ shares for $2.7 million.

TSM remains fully booked through 2026, signaling production constraints at the world’s largest chip foundry. Nvidia and Broadcom insiders have highlighted these challenges, with shortages now extending beyond chips to other key parts like lasers and circuit boards.
