Cathie Wood<\/a>\u2019s ARK Invest\u00a0ETFs\u00a0(exchange-traded funds) made million-dollar bets in the artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) and robotics sectors on July 17. The ace hedge fund manager\u2019s largest trade of the day was a $7.8 million purchase of Teradyne (TER)<\/a>, a designer and manufacturer of automated test equipment (ATE)\u00a0and\u00a0industrial robotics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, Wood bought Nvidia (NVDA)<\/a> stock worth $1.8 million and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)<\/a> stock worth $798,400. ARK funds also added shares of Caris Life Sciences (CAI)<\/a> and L3Harris Technologies (LHX)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the sell side, Wood\u2019s largest sell trade for the day was $3.3 million worth of Rocket Lab USA (RKLB)<\/a> stock. She appears to be capitalizing on the recent rally in the aerospace company\u2019s shares<\/a>, which have surged more than 30% over the past five trading sessions. ARK funds had also sold $2.7 million worth of RKLB stock on July 16.<\/p>\n

Notably, Wood also sold $2.5 million worth of Meta Platforms (META)<\/a> shares, reflecting her decreasing interest in the social media sector.<\/p>\n

Wood Is Loading Up on Teradyne Stock<\/p>\n

Wood appears to be leveraging a \u201cbuy the dip\u201d opportunity in Teradyne, as its shares have declined over the past couple of trading sessions. JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee<\/a> recently downgraded Teradyne stock to a Hold from Buy,<\/a> citing uncertainty regarding customer capital deployment in semiconductor<\/a> equipment projects. Year-to-date, TER stock has lost 26.1% due to similar macroeconomic headwinds.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK)<\/a> added approximately 84,000 shares of Teradyne, raising its holdings to a total of $113.1 million. Following this purchase, TER is now the 16th largest position in the ARKK fund, with a 1.59% weighting.<\/p>\n

According to TipRanks, TER stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on eight Buys, two Holds, and three Sell ratings. Also, the average Teradyne price target of $95.58<\/a> implies 3% upside potential from current levels.<\/p>\n
