Cathie Wood's ARK Invest missed out on more than $1 billion in returns by selling Nvidia stock too early

Jun 01, 2024 - markets.businessinsider.com
Cathie Wood's Ark Invest sold over 1 million shares of Nvidia when the stock was trading below $150 per share, missing out on a potential $1.2 billion return as the stock soared to about $1,141. The bulk of the sales occurred in the fourth quarter of 2022, before a massive AI-fueled rally in the stock market. Ark Invest continued to sell its Nvidia stake throughout 2023 and into the first quarter of 2024, with the firm still holding 67,000 shares worth about $75 million as of March 31.

Wood has expressed concerns over Nvidia's high valuation, despite the company's market value growing from $575 billion in February 2023 to about $2.8 trillion currently. She also warned of a potential inventory correction due to over-ordering of Nvidia's GPUs. The proceeds from the Nvidia sales have been reinvested into other potential AI companies, though few of these investments have been successful.

Key takeaways:

  • Cathie Wood's Ark Invest sold over 1 million shares of Nvidia when the stock was trading below $150 per share, missing out on potential returns of over $1 billion.
  • The bulk of the sales occurred in November 2022, before the release of ChatGPT sparked a massive AI-fueled rally in the stock market.
  • Despite the stock's 682% increase to about $1,141, Wood maintains that Nvidia's valuation is too high.
  • Ark Invest has redeployed its proceeds from selling Nvidia stock into other potential AI companies, though few of these investments have been successful.
