Cathie Wood Invests in X-Energy IPO, Increases Amazon Stakes, Reduces AMD and RKLB Holdings
ARK Invest has made a significant investment in X-Energy, purchasing over 4 million shares valued at $92.5 million, indicating confidence in nuclear energy's future. Concurrently, Cathie Wood expanded her Amazon holdings by acquiring an additional 280,450 shares worth approximately $71.5 million, ahead of the company's expected Q1 FY26 earnings report.

ARK Invest's recent strategy includes a notable investment in X-Energy, which priced its IPO at $23 per share, reflecting high investor demand. This acquisition aligns with increasing power needs, particularly from AI data centers, as Amazon is contracted to purchase up to 5 gigawatts of power from X-Energy.
In parallel, Wood raised her stake in Amazon, acquiring 280,450 shares ahead of the earnings report on April 29, with Wall Street anticipating an EPS of $1.63 and revenue of $177.27 billion. To support these investments, ARK has been reducing stakes in AMD and Rocket Lab USA, which retains a potential upside of 12%. This shift may indicate a strategic pivot towards energy and AI-driven sectors.
