Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest maintained its aggressive technology divestment strategy on Friday, March 27, marking another chapter in a week characterized by substantial exits from major tech holdings across its ETF portfolio.
The Friday transactions mirrored the previous day’s activity, when ARK liquidated over $84 million in technology assets, reinforcing a clear directional shift away from mega-cap tech exposure.
ARK’s flagship funds—ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF—collectively disposed of 58,119 shares of Nvidia, generating proceeds of approximately $9.95 million. This followed the March 26 sale of 155,441 Nvidia shares worth $27.77 million. Market observers point to elevated AI sector valuations and developer pushback against Nvidia’s recent product releases as contributing factors.
Meta Platforms experienced additional selling pressure, with ARK disposing of 10,500 shares generating $5.75 million in proceeds. The previous session saw 76,622 Meta shares exit ARK portfolios for $45.58 million. Legal decisions concerning social media platforms’ impact on minors have intensified regulatory scrutiny around Meta, creating uncertainty about future penalties and compliance costs.
Tesla holdings were similarly reduced, with ARK selling 4,221 TSLA shares worth approximately $1.57 million. The electric vehicle manufacturer’s stock declined 2.76% to $361.83 following management’s downward revision of 2026 delivery expectations from 1.75 million to 1.69 million vehicles.
Semiconductor Sector Faces Widespread Reduction
Chip manufacturers experienced broad-based selling across ARK portfolios. The firm liquidated 19,126 AMD shares for $3.90 million, following the previous session’s disposal of 38,245 shares worth $8.42 million. Teradyne saw 17,092 shares sold for $5.08 million, extending Thursday’s 16,009-share sale valued at $5.18 million.
The widespread semiconductor reduction suggests ARK’s assessment that supply chain limitations and valuation multiples have reached levels warranting position trimming after the sector’s robust performance.
Roku experienced a modest reduction with 9,274 shares sold for $825,664. ARK disposed of 37,876 shares of Bullish (BLSH) for $1.38 million, maintaining the firm’s ongoing reduction in this holding.
Healthcare Allocation Expands
Contrasting with the technology selloff, ARK’s ARKG ETF increased its healthcare exposure by acquiring 48,659 shares of Arcturus Therapeutics for approximately $344,505. This purchase follows ARK’s March 24 acquisition of 4,525 ARCT shares, indicating sustained interest in this biotech position.
The healthcare acquisition represents the singular buy transaction among ARK’s disclosed trades for the session.
Across the entire week, ARK’s technology divestment strategy has remained consistent and comprehensive—Nvidia, Meta, AMD, Teradyne, Tesla, Roku, and Bullish all experienced position reductions spanning multiple trading sessions.
The $344,505 ARCT share purchase on March 27 stood as the only acquisition during an otherwise liquidation-focused trading session for the investment firm.
