Has the rebound opportunity arrived? Hong Kong stocks welcome a strong start in May
On Friday Eastern Time, the three major U.S. stock indexes closed collectively lower. A sharp surge in oil prices combined with weaker-than-expected employment data exacerbated market concerns. The Wall Street Fear Gauge, VIX index, surged 22%, reaching its highest level since April last year.
Based on Cathie Wood's actions last Friday, ARK's strategic shift is sending a strong signal: moving away from speculative plays towards tangible assets. Capital is accelerating its withdrawal from pure traffic entry points and single-product hardware, fully pivoting towards companies with vast real-world data and physical implementation scenarios.

Buying focus: Rare purchase of JD Logistics on the Hong Kong stock market, continuing to bet on low-altitude economy
The buying activity on that day was extremely eye-catching, with a cross-market purchase of over a million shares directly breaking recent portfolio adjustment patterns, while maintaining a firm commitment to low-altitude mobility platforms.
– JD Logistics: Betting on physical supply chain and logistics automation network
Cathie Wood made a massive buy in Hong Kong stocks $JD LOGISTICS (02618.HK)$ as much as 1,129,500 shares. This is a highly strategic cross-market move. In an era where AI is reshaping countless industries, logistics networks are no longer just about 'delivering packages,' but represent one of the largest and most complex computational implementation scenarios in the physical world. JD Logistics boasts a deep moat in the Asian supply chain and a highly automated 'Asia No. 1' warehousing cluster. Buying JD Logistics essentially means acquiring access to a massive real-world dataset and the ultimate testing ground for scaled operations of automated devices like warehouse robots and unmanned logistics vehicles.
Notably, last week JD Logistics released its latest earnings report, showing Q4 performance largely in line with expectations. Revenue met projections, and adjusted profits were slightly above market forecasts, mainly due to tax benefits rather than expected tax expenses.
– Joby Aviation: Firmly betting on the low-altitude economy
Cathie Wood continues to aggressively increase her position in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) leader $Joby Aviation (JOBY.US)$ with 289,400 shares. Considering the endgame of the robotics industry, the current investment theme is crystal clear: components are the core foundation, whole machines are the commercial carriers, and embodied intelligence is the ultimate barrier to long-term competitiveness. eVTOL represents the strongest whole-machine carrier of embodied intelligence in low-altitude three-dimensional space. ARK’s consecutive days of aggressive purchases of JOBY reflect a strong belief that these companies can be the first to crack the commercial loop of aerial autonomous driving.
– Cerus Corp and GeneDx: Leading Players in Niche Segments of the Healthcare Sector
Cathie Wood continues to increase her position in blood safety technology companies $Cerus (CERS.US)$ 84,000 shares, as well as genomics diagnostics company $GeneDx Holdings (WGS.US)$ 9,113 shares. In the healthcare sector, ARK is replacing broad-based investments with strategic portfolio adjustments. While selling off legacy medical equipment, funds are being precisely allocated to cutting-edge biotech companies with high technological barriers in niche areas like blood safety.
– Robinhood and DraftKings: Continued Momentum in Digital Consumption and Financial Ecosystems
Cathie Wood continues to increase her stake in digital brokerages $Robinhood (HOOD.US)$ 19,200 shares, and increases stake in sports betting giant $DraftKings (DKNG.US)$ 10,600 shares. The continued buying of these two reflects ARK's sustained optimism towards the momentum of digital finance and entertainment consumption among the younger generation.
Sell side:
On the selling side, ARK continues to demonstrate disciplined ruthlessness, aggressively divesting assets that face competitive pressures or lack AI-driven capabilities.
– Standard BioTools and 10x Genomics: Brutal Liquidation in Medical Hardware
Cathie Wood violently sold off life science tools companies last Friday $Standard BioTools (LAB.US)$ up to 397,400 shares, while drastically cutting single-cell sequencing giant $10x Genomics (TXG.US)$ by 75,000 shares. This is a profound reflection on the 'pure hardware tools' logic. In the absence of deep restructuring by underlying AI large models and data ecosystem empowerment, the imagination space for standalone medical testing hardware and traditional sequencing instruments is being severely compressed. Capital is rapidly flowing from these hardware sectors, which are showing signs of growth ceilings, to generative AI healthcare applications.
– Iridium (IRDM): A dramatic reshaping of the commercial aerospace competitive landscape
Cathie Wood continues to heavily sell satellite communications company $Iridium Communications (IRDM.US)$ by 86,900 shares. The niche in the space economy is undergoing a bloody transition. Facing extremely low orbital costs brought by new-generation launch service providers like Rocket Lab, as well as the strong rise of low-Earth orbit satellite networks, the infrastructure barriers of traditional high-orbit/low-orbit satellite operators (like IRDM) are suffering severe 'dimensionality reduction attacks.' Adapting to the restructuring of the commercial aerospace supply chain and completely removing it from core holdings is an inevitable choice.
– Roku and Nextdoor: The dead end of the attention economy
Cathie Wood continues to reduce her stake in streaming media hardware $Roku Inc (ROKU.US)$ by 32,300 shares, and community social platform $Nextdoor Holdings (NXDR.US)$ by 23,100 shares. For former stars lacking strong AI catalysts, ARK has chosen to accelerate its departure.
– The ongoing bleeding of traditional SaaS
In addition, ARK Invest slightly reduced holdings of $PagerDuty (PD.US)$ 901 shares and $DASSAULT SYSTEMES SPON ADR EACH REP 1 ORD SHS (DASTY.US)$ 600 shares. The valuation reshaping of the SaaS sector is still underway.
