Cathie Wood, though upbeat about Nvidia Corp. NVDA, has sounded concerns regarding the valuation of the stock. In line with this thinking, the fund manager's Ark Invest offloaded more of the chipmaker's stock this week.
What Happened: Ark's Ark Genomic Revolution ETF ARKG sold 3,412 Nvidia shares on Friday, valued at $1.56 million. Nvidia stock closed Friday's session at $455.72, down 1.45%, according to Benzinga Pro data.
With Friday's offloading, Ark's cumulative sale of Nvidia this week came in at 21,014 shares or $9.79 million worth of shares. ARKG now holds about 110,478 shares of Nvidia, which accounts for about 2.54% of the portfolio weighting.
Incidentally, Ark's flagship fund the Ark Innovation ETF ARKK divested its entire Nvidia stake by early January 2023.
Nvidia currently is also part of the Ark Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF ARKQ, in which it has a 2.85% weighting.
