On Tuesday, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest made some significant trades, most notably selling shares of Tesla Inc TSLA and buying a substantial amount of Archer Aviation Inc ACHR.

The Tesla Trade

ARK Innovation ETF ARKK and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF ARKW sold 13,896 shares of Tesla, a move that followed a series of transactions carried out by Ark Invest’s various ETFs on Monday, as reported in a Benzinga article. The value of this trade, based on Tesla’s closing price of $259.52 on Tuesday, is approximately $3.6 million.

Ark Invest's moves follow Tesla's impressive third-quarter earnings, which surpassed expectations with improved margins, along with a strong 2025 vehicle delivery forecast that analysts viewed positively.

The Archer Aviation Trade

Archer Aviation, a company at the forefront of the rapidly evolving urban air mobility (UAM) market, saw a significant boost from Ark Invest. ARKK bought a whopping 830,130 shares of Archer Aviation. This investment, calculated from Archer’s closing price of $3.36 on Tuesday, amounts to about $2.79 million.

The purchase comes at a time when Archer Aviation is making strides in the development of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently issued a final rule establishing a new category of aircraft called “powered lift,” which applies to eVTOL aircraft, marking an important step towards bringing eVTOLS into U.S. airspace.
