ARK Invest anchored X-Energy's Nasdaq debut by buying more than 4 million shares (~$92.5M) and boosted its Amazon stake by about 280,450 shares (~$71.5M) ahead of earnings, while trimming AMD by $65.8M and reducing Rocket Lab by $9.6M, signaling a tilt toward nuclear energy and Amazon while locking in gains on earlier winners.
ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood backs a $1.75 trillion SpaceX valuation, signaling a bet on the company’s role in a future space economy ahead of an expected June NASDAQ IPO that could raise about $75 billion.

Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest tilted into Palantir (PLTR) while trimming Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), buying about 85,485 PLTR shares (~$11.15M) as Palantir posted strong results and raised its 2026 revenue guidance, and AMD posted solid numbers but remained a smaller bet for ARK. Analysts see Palantir's upside (~52%) well ahead of AMD (~16%), with Palantir’s Q1 FY26 results due May 11 and AMD earnings due May 5.
BMNR has risen about 6–7% over the past five sessions, tracking Ethereum nearly tick-for-tick as BitMine’s massive ETH treasury (about 4.5 million ETH, roughly 3.76% of supply, worth over $10B) drives its moves. The company earns about $174M yearly from staking ETH, a figure expected to rise to around $259M with MAVAN. Heavy institutional interest, including ARK Invest, has pushed BMNR to high daily volumes (around $1B).

Analysts expect Q4 earnings of about $1.97 per share on ~$211.4 billion in revenue, with AWS remaining the key growth driver as cloud demand and AI spend pick up. Wedbush remains optimistic about AMZN’s outlook, and the stock has a supportive price target, while Amazon continues cost-cutting measures to boost margins.
