Tracking Cathie Wood: ARK heavily buys over 140,000 shares of autonomous driving star Pony AI, while significantly reducing its stake in flying car company Archer Aviation

All three major U.S. indices closed lower last Friday. The S&P 500 fell 2.64% to 7,383.74, the Nasdaq plunged 4.18% to 25,709.43, and the Dow Jones declined a relatively modest 1.35% to 50,866.78. Market risk appetite cooled significantly, with tech stocks under notable pressure, as investors remained cautious toward high-valuation growth stocks.

Amid market volatility, Cathie Wood demonstrated a balanced portfolio strategy—aggressively adding to positions in autonomous driving and blockchain infrastructure while making structural adjustments to certain holdings—showcasing her precise grasp of disruptive innovation sectors.

Buying focus: Dual drivers of autonomous driving and blockchain, heavily positioning for future mobility

$Pony AI (PONY.US)$Became the day's biggest highlight, with ARK adding 141,086 shares. As a leading player in autonomous driving, Pony AI has reached the commercial deployment stage for Level 4 autonomous technology. Its extensive testing mileage and operational experience in both China and the U.S. have built a deep technological moat. Cathie Wood’s substantial purchase likely reflects confidence in Pony AI’s first-mover advantage in Robotaxi commercialization.

In blockchain infrastructure, ARK added$Circle (CRCL.US)$ 100,250 shares. As the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, Circle holds a pivotal role in digital payments and the DeFi ecosystem, aligning with ARK’s investment thesis on disruptive fintech innovation. With global regulatory clarity on digital assets gradually emerging, Circle stands to benefit from explosive growth in demand for compliant stablecoins.

In the precision medicine space,$Beam Therapeutics (BEAM.US)$received an increase of 87,414 shares. The company specializes in base editing technology, which offers higher precision and safety compared to traditional gene editing, showing immense potential in treating rare diseases.

AI Infrastructure$Kodiak AI (KDK.US)$and nuclear energy newcomer$X-Energy (XE.US)$received增持of 73,671 and 61,869 shares respectively, reflecting Cathie Wood’s long-term bullish outlook on AI computing power and clean energy.

Selling side: Significant position adjustments in flying car stocks, with moderate reductions in tech giants

$Archer Aviation (ACHR.US)$Became the largest reduction target, with ARK selling 1,327,537 shares. Although the eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) concept has broad prospects, uncertainties remain around its commercialization timeline, as regulatory approvals and infrastructure development require longer lead times. This substantial sell-off may reflect Cathie Wood’s concerns about a lack of near-term catalysts in this sector, with capital potentially shifting toward autonomous driving—a field with a clearer path to commercialization.

Semiconductor leader$Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$Reduced by 2,074 shares. Despite AMD's continued push in data centers and AI chips, it faces intense competition from NVIDIA and cyclical adjustment pressures. ARK’s reduction may be driven by portfolio rebalancing considerations, reallocating capital to emerging names with greater breakout potential.
