According to the latest trading data, ARK made a series of significant portfolio adjustments on January 20th, most notably doubling down on autonomous driving and semiconductor/AI infrastructure.

Direction of increased positions: All-in on autonomous driving, sweeping up leading chip stocks
Overnight, ARK added to its position again $WeRide (WRD.US)$ Nearly 580,000 shares,ARK clearly believes the commercial inflection point for Robotaxi has arrived or is betting on upcoming positive developments in the industry. As the leader in L4 autonomous driving, WeRide has consistently been a focus for ARK, and such a large-scale increase in holdings indicates a high level of conviction.
Additionally, ARK continues to buy $BYD Company ADR (BYDDY.US)$ Over 200,000 shares, The market believes this is not only a vote of confidence in EV sales but also a recognition of BYD's potential in the second half of the intelligentization race. Combined with WRD’s increased position, Cathie Wood is building a strong portfolio centered around 'Made in China + Autonomous Driving.'
In the AI computing power sector, Cathie Wood continues to practice her buy-the-dip strategy, but with a focus on specific targets: $Broadcom (AVGO.US)$ An increase of 32,400 shares. As the king of custom chips and network connectivity, Broadcom is an indispensable 'water carrier' for AI data centers. This shows that ARK's investment logic is expanding from solely focusing on GPUs to a broader range of AI infrastructure. $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ Slightly increased its position, maintaining attention on the 'second pole' of AI chips.
Additionally, Cathie Wood continued to buy into $Trimble (TRMB.US)$ and $Deere (DE.US)$ ,These represent the implementation of 'AI + traditional industries'—precision agriculture and industrial automation. This aligns with ARK's consistent view: innovation is not only happening among tech giants but also in how technology transforms the real economy.
Direction of reduction: Retreat from the defense sector?
Cathie Wood reduced her holdings in Kratos Defense & Security Solutions by 171,900 shares overnight, $Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS.US)$ As a drone and defense concept stock, it was significantly reduced. This may indicate that funds are rotating from the defense sector back into higher risk-preference sectors like autonomous driving and semiconductors, or it could simply be profit-taking.
