Summary · why it matters

Cathie Wood's ARK Invest sold 156,286 Advanced Micro Devices shares for $74.5 million and shifted the proceeds into two of the chipmaker's biggest AI rivals, buying 356,681 Nvidia shares for $81.04 million and 76,263 Broadcom shares worth $25.56 million. The move extends a pattern: on Aug. 28, ARK sold 156,286 AMD shares for $74.5 million and bought $55.6 million of Nvidia and $20.5 million of Broadcom. ARK has not explained the AMD sale, so the transactions do not prove Wood is pessimistic on the chipmaker, though the timing stands out. AMD has agreed to buy Fei-Fei Li's AI business World Labs for $8.2 billion in shares, while Nvidia reported fiscal second-quarter sales up 106% to $96.22 billion and added $150 billion to its share-repurchase authorization, leaving $235 billion. Broadcom, whose fiscal third-quarter AI revenue rose 221% to $16.7 billion, predicts fiscal 2027 AI sales will exceed $115 billion.
