    June 20, 2026, 7:34 AM EDT. Cathie Wood's ARK Invest sold nearly $60 million worth of growth stocks Robinhood and Roku after sharp rallies. Wood took profits following Robinhood's cost-cutting announcement, which boosted the stock, and Roku's $22 billion acquisition deal by Fox that capped its upside. ARK sold 275,572 Robinhood shares valued at $26.65 million and 239,267 Roku shares worth $33.01 million. Meanwhile, ARK shifted capital into Eli Lilly, purchasing 41,138 shares worth $46.18 million after a stock pullback. Eli Lilly's acquisition of 4E Therapeutics, focusing on non-opioid chronic pain treatments, fits ARK's strategy to back companies with promising growth pipelines. Wood is recalibrating her portfolio amid a market rotation from mature rallies to fresh growth opportunities, sparking debate on whether this is profit-taking or a response to fading momentum.
