Tracking Cathie Wood: Betting on WeRide, Baidu and other Chinese stocks while taking profits in tech giants Tesla and Meta.

After experiencing a night of conservative and narrow-range fluctuations, the three major U.S. stock indexes collectively closed higher last Friday, though none reached new all-time highs. With the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision meeting entering its final countdown, investors have become increasingly hesitant in placing orders.

However, amid the market's hesitation,Cathie Wood has intensified her buying activity:She continues to increase holdings in biotechnology, autonomous driving, cryptocurrencies, and other cutting-edge sectors while adding a new position in Baidu. Meanwhile, she significantly reduced exposure to satellite communications, Meta, and Tesla, further aligning her portfolio toward "long-term innovation and deep sector focus."

Main Rebalancing Focus: Continued purchases of TTD and WeRide, strategically positioning in China’s AI sector.

1. $The Trade Desk (TTD.US)$ – Strong Buy (Added 180,400 shares)

– Action: Following Thursday’s purchase, another significant增持 of over 180,000 shares was made today, topping the buy list.

– Analysis: The substantial purchases over two consecutive days are sufficient proof that TTD is currently ARK’s “darling.” Cathie Wood clearly believes that, against the backdrop of expectations for interest rate cuts and a soft economic landing, the recovery of the digital advertising industry will exceed expectations. As the dominant player in open internet advertising outside walled gardens, TTD stands to be the biggest beneficiary.

2. $Baidu (BIDU.US)$ - Focused heavily on China's AI (Purchased 120,000 shares)

– Action: Purchased 120,000 shares of Baidu in a single day, marking one of the largest recent investments in Chinese tech stocks.

– Interpretation: Following JPMorgan’s upgrade of Baidu to 'Overweight,' citing strong growth potential in its AI and cloud businesses, ARK Invest strategically positioned itself in the 'Chinese AI leader' for value recovery.

3. $WeRide (WRD.US)$ - Continued Accumulation (Purchased 36,000 shares)

– Action: Increased holdings for the fifth consecutive day in this leading Chinese autonomous driving company.

– Interpretation: As the stock price retreated to pre-NVIDIA investment levels, ARK Invest decisively added to its position. This move reflects confidence in the global leader in autonomous driving commercialization rather than following market trends.

4. Other Highlights:

– $Symbotic (SYM.US)$ : Increased holdings by 57,600 shares. This warehousing automation AI company has seen a significant pullback recently, prompting 'Ms. Wood' to accumulate shares at a lower price, betting on the long-term trend of supply chain automation.

– $ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB.US)$: Continued minor increase in holdings (+40,500 shares), maintaining faith in crypto assets.

Reduction Direction: Satellite Communication + Meta/Tesla

1. $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ - Reduced holdings on rallies (-37,900 shares)

Analysis: Although Ms. Wood is a staunch supporter of Tesla, she strictly enforces a 'position control' strategy. As Tesla's stock price has performed strongly recently, she chose to sell part of her position to lock in profits and reallocate funds into high-growth, low-valuation targets mentioned above.

2. $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ & $Iridium Communications (IRDM.US)$

Analysis: This continues the reduction approach from last Thursday. For Meta, ARK may believe that the progress of its AI monetization has already been partially reflected in the stock price, making it less cost-effective compared to TTD. As for Iridium Communications (-223,200 shares), the significant reduction indicates a decline in confidence in this position.

Summary

Through Ms. Wood's recent operations, we can clearly piece together her investment playbook for the end of 2025:

Rotation from high to low:Decisively sell strong-performing giants (Tesla, Meta) and instead buy growth stocks still at the bottom.

Bullish on Chinese technology:The consecutive purchases of Baidu and WeRide are important signals. With US tech stocks currently at high valuations, she has begun seeking 'AI Alpha' in quality Chinese assets.
