Following Cathie Wood: Bought over 30,000 shares of Broadcom, heavily invested in eVTOL sector leaders Joby and Archer

On Thursday Eastern Time, the three major U.S. stock indexes closed mixed, with tech giants like NVIDIA pulling back, while the defense sector surged across the board following Trump's proposal to increase military spending.

Against this backdrop, Cathie Wood is conducting a noticeablesector rotation: On one hand, making significant bets onthe 'low-altitude economy' and AI hardware,while on the other hand, taking profits or reducing positions in recently populardefense and space sectors..

Direction of adding positions: Firmly optimistic about the 'low-altitude economy', adding positions in Broadcom against the market trend

The most eye-catching name on Cathie Wood's list of added positions this time is undoubtedlyeVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft) Strong confidence in the track, purchasing $Joby Aviation (JOBY.US)$ More than 160,000 shares,$Archer Aviation (ACHR.US)$ Over 70,000 shares.

Entering 2026, the market generally considers it to be the 'commercialization milestone year' for eVTOL. Cathie Wood’s decision to heavily invest in these two leading companies at this moment sends a strong signal: she believes that the turning point for regulatory approval (such as FAA certification) and commercial operations has arrived. Rather than waiting for a more distant future, she prefers to position herself now in the soon-to-take-off 'air taxi' business. This is not only a bet on technology but also a bet on urban transportation transformation.

In the AI hardware field, ARK chose to add positions in $Broadcom (AVGO.US)$31,600 shares.Broadcom, the leader in networking chips and custom ASIC chips, holds an indispensable position in the construction of AI data centers. This move by Cathie Wood indicates that she remains optimistic about the ongoing demand for AI infrastructure development. Compared to some overvalued AI stocks, Broadcom is seen as a more resilient AI core asset due to its strong cash flow and monopolistic position in the Ethernet switch domain.

Reduction Direction: Reducing positions in defense and space stocks

In stark contrast to buying 'civilian' aircraft, Cathie Wood has pressed the sell button in the 'military' and 'space' sectors.

$Palantir (PLTR.US)$ ：Reduced holdings by 58,700 shares. As the leader in AI and defense data analytics, this move is very likely a profit-taking strategy or a form of position management due to high valuation.

$Rocket Lab (RKLB.US)$ ：Reduced holdings by 24,900 shares. This new commercial space company has experienced significant volatility recently, prompting ARK to reduce its exposure.

$Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS.US)$ & $AeroVironment (AVAV.US)$ ：They respectively reduced holdings by 20,100 shares and 2,017 shares. These two companies are both key players in the military drone sector.

This is a very interesting 'hedging' operation:Selling military drones and buying civilian eVTOLs. This may imply that 'Wood姐' (Cathie Wood) believes that the premium for defense stocks is currently too high in the short term, while the growth potential and cost-effectiveness of the civilian low-altitude economy are more attractive at this stage.
