The purchase also comes at a time when global sales of electric vehicles are expected to reach an astounding $623.3 billion by 2024.

Is META Ark Invest’s Cherished Stock?

Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest has previously also bought META stock in bulk. On Friday, even though the price recovered and closed 0.43% higher, Ark persisted on its Meta buying spree. For $5.98 million, the business bought 13,494 shares of Meta.

Friday saw a series of trades by Ark Invest involving some of the portfolio’s biggest stocks; most notably, a significant number of shares of AI-levered. This included Palantir, which is scheduled to announce its first-quarter financial results on May 5.
