Cathie Wood is Loading Up on These 10 Stocks

In this article, we discuss the 10 stocks that Cathie Wood is loading up on. If you want to read about some more stocks in the Cathie Wood portfolio, go directly to Cathie Wood is Loading Up on These 5 Stocks.

Cathie Wood of ARK Investment Management has been under fire for her growth-focused investment strategy amid recession fears in the past few months. Her flagship ARK Innovation Fund, one of the best-performing investment vehicles of the pandemic-ravaged 2020 with a gain of over 152% during the year, is down over 58% year-to-date as investors shift away from risky bets towards value options in light of rising interest rates. Wood managed an equity portfolio worth close to $17 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2022. 

Some of the top stocks in the portfolio include Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), Sea Limited (NYSE:SE), and Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX). Between March and June 2022, the value of the equity portfolio decreased by around $6 billion. In this time, Wood made new purchases in 9 stocks, sold out of 12, reduced holdings in 223, and made additional purchases in 102 stocks. The top ten holdings comprise over 46% of the overall portfolio. The top holdings are concentrated in the tech and healthcare sectors. 

The woes of her fund have seen investors pull money from under her management. Data compiled by news publication Bloomberg reveals that there was nearly $803 million in outflows from her flagship fund in the month of August, the biggest monthly outflow since September 2021. The fund also witnessed daily inflows during just six days in August. The performance of her fund so far this year does not compare favorably to the benchmark S&P 500, which is down only around 18% year-to-date. 

Our Methodology

These were picked according to the investment portfolio of ARK Investment Management at the end of the second quarter of 2022. Only equities in which the hedge fund increased stakes by at least 20% or more, between March and June, compared to first quarter filings, were selected. In order to provide readers with a more comprehensive overview of the companies, the analyst ratings for each firm are mentioned alongside other details. A database of around 900 elite hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey in the second quarter of 2022 was used to quantify the popularity of each stock in the hedge fund universe.

10. Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 34 

Percentage Increase in Stake During Q2 2022: 23% 

Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) owns and runs a TV streaming platform. The hedge fund chaired by Wood owned close to 10.1 million shares of Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) at the end of June 2022 worth $962 million. 

On August 26, Truist analyst Matthew Thornton maintained a Buy rating on Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) stock and lowered the price target to $90 from $120, noting that the firm had posted weaker than expected earnings in the second quarter. 

At the end of the second quarter of 2022, 34 hedge funds in the database of Insider Monkey held stakes worth $1.4 billion in Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU), the same as in the preceding quarter worth $1.7 billion.

Just like Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), Sea Limited (NYSE:SE), and Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX), Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) is one of the stocks that Cathie Wood is bullish on. 

In its Q3 2021 investor letter, RGA Investment Advisors, an asset management firm, highlighted a few stocks and Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) was one of them. Here is what the fund said:

“Since we bought Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU), no stock has contributed more to our returns and no stock has been more volatile in our portfolio. This is now our third drawdown in the stock of over 30% and our second of over 60%. Fortunately (or tactically) before the two 60% drawdowns we had trimmed our positions by at least a third, though unfortunately that meant we still held large slices of the stock on the way down. Despite the stock having soared too far, too fast and thinking it was due for a period of digestion, we believe over our timeframe even the former highs will be rewarded with a good result. We have often pointed out that volatility in companies like Roku is the market’s way of grappling with a really wide range of potential outcomes and that remains as true today as ever, though the range of outcomes continues to narrow for the better for Roku.

Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) today is trading at lower multiples than at any point as a public company, meanwhile its revenue and margin composition has evolved from majority hardware to vast majority platform– in other words, each $1 of revenue is much more valuable today than ever before for Roku. Roku today is a profitable company for the first time in its history. Roku today has a multitude of investment opportunities within its own platform that can drive considerable value. Early in 2021 at higher prices, one had to believe the company would grow accounts internationally to justify valuations. This was so, because the company has so quickly achieved substantial penetration of the US market with 56.4m reported household customers of the ~130m total US households, that further growth in the US household count will be challenging and because prices were so high. Today, one merely needs to believe that with around 60 million households (the expectation for the yet reported year-end 2021 number), ARPU has a strong enough growth tailwind to reach $100 within a reasonable time, without relying on any incremental account growth. For context, as of Q3 this year, ARPU was $40, up 49% year-over-year and we know it will be higher in Q4. Growth in ARPU is underpinned by the continuing migration of viewer hours to CTV. The subforces behind this are increasing the penetration of Roku devices within households (go from one Roku to TV to 2-4), increasing the hours that each house watches (getting from shy of 4 hours to the nearly 8 hours an average American household watches TV) and broadening the content on the platform, increasing the share of inventory with content companies and more hours (like live sports viewing) shifting from linear to CTV. We further believe the opportunity to become the bundler and/or hub of household content subscriptions is growing, as evidenced by the rise in credit card pings per user from 1 to 1.3 per month and its continuing ascension. In this respect, Roku has the right to win with their installed base, because the experience is exponentially better than legacy and competing offerings…” (Click here to see the full text)

9. Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE:FVRR)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 16  

Percentage Increase in Stake During Q2 2022: 23% 

Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE:FVRR) owns and runs an online marketplace for talent. At the end of June 2022, ARK Investment Management owned 40,565 shares in Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE:FVRR) worth $1.7 million, representing 0.01% of the portfolio. 

On August 5, Needham analyst Bernie McTernan maintained a Buy rating on Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE:FVRR) stock and raised the price target to $50 from $40, noting the firm was ramping up profitability faster in response to a continued lack of end market momentum. 

At the end of the second quarter of 2022, 16 hedge funds in the database of Insider Monkey held stakes worth $79 million in Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE:FVRR), the same as in the previous quarter worth $302 million.

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 29

Percentage Increase in Stake During Q2 2022: 29% 

Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) owns and runs a cryptocurrency exchange platform. Latest data shows that ARK Investment Management owned 8.9 million shares of Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) at the end of the second quarter of 2022 worth $699 million, representing 4.13% of the portfolio. 

On August 31, Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish initiated coverage of Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) stock with an Equal Weight rating and a price target of $80, noting that the near-term outlook for the firm would be challenging. 

Among the hedge funds being tracked by Insider Monkey, New York-based firm Renaissance Technologies is a leading shareholder in Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN), with 4.2 million shares worth more than $199 million.

In its Q2 2022 investor letter, Miller Value Partners, an asset management firm, highlighted a few stocks and Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) was one of them. Here is what the fund said:

“Coinbase Global Inc. Ordinary Shares (NASDAQ:COIN) fell during the quarter as the crypto markets continued to suffer. While the company reported disappointing results, it committed to capping EBITDA losses at $500M even in the event of “a prolonged market downturn”. COIN’s ample liquidity ($6b in cash on hand) should enable them to survive a prolonged “crypto winter” and invest to strengthen the business in the downturn. While the crypto market is early in its adoption, Coinbase is focused on building the platform for crypto not only supporting trading, and cold storage, but moving into NFTs, staking, and crypto derivatives. We see tremendous upside potential for COIN over the next decade if they are able to successfully execute on their platform strategy.”

7. Accolade, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACCD)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 15   

Percentage Increase in Stake During Q2 2022: 29% 

Accolade, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACCD) is a technology-first healthcare company. ARK Investment Management owned 6.2 million shares in Accolade, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACCD) at the end of June 2022 worth $40 million, representing 0.23% of the portfolio of the fund.

At the end of the second quarter of 2022, 15 hedge funds in the database of Insider Monkey held stakes worth $90 million in Accolade, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACCD), compared to 22 the preceding quarter worth $174 million. 

6. InMode Ltd. (NASDAQ:INMD)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 27 

Percentage Increase in Stake During Q2 2022: 29% 

InMode Ltd. (NASDAQ:INMD) makes and sells healthcare equipment. Securities filings reveal that ARK owned 73,637 shares of InMode Ltd. (NASDAQ:INMD) at the end of the second quarter of 2022 worth $1.9 million, representing a very small percentage of the portfolio. 

On August 29, Baird analyst Jeff Johnson maintained an Outperform rating on InMode Ltd. (NASDAQ:INMD) stock and raised the price target to $53 from $44, noting that the demand for the products of the firm would improve in the coming months. 

Among the hedge funds being tracked by Insider Monkey, New York-based firm Renaissance Technologies is a leading shareholder in InMode Ltd. (NASDAQ:INMD) with 3.1 million shares worth more than $69 million. 

In addition to Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), Sea Limited (NYSE:SE), and Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX), InMode Ltd. (NASDAQ:INMD) is one of the stocks that Cathie Wood is buying.

In its Q3 2021 investor letter, Alger, an asset management firm, highlighted a few stocks and InMode Ltd. (NASDAQ:INMD) was one of them. Here is what the fund said:

“InMode Ltd. (NASDAQ:INMD) was among the topic contributors to performance. InMode designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes innovative minimally invasive and non-invasive aesthetic medical products. InMode’s platforms harness novel radio frequency (RF) technology to enable emerging minimally invasive procedures that bridge the gap between temporary treatments like facials and more invasive surgical procedures like facelifts across several categories of surgical specialties such as plastic surgery, gynecology, dermatology, ophthalmology and otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat care).

The aesthetics market is seeing strong tailwinds coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic. These tailwinds include the “Zoom effect,” or dissatisfaction with one’s personal appearance after viewing one’s own face on Zoom, which has resulted in more people deciding to undergo aesthetic procedures. De-stigmatization of aesthetics procedures, aided by social media platforms, is also supportive of InMode’s results. Between the strong growth of its existing product lines and the anticipated launch of two new products, investors perceive InMode Ltd. (NASDAQ:INMD) as being well positioned to capitalize on the broader strength of the aesthetics market, which is a key reason shares outperformed in the third quarter.”

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

  • It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
  • It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
  • It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

  • The AI infrastructure supercycle
  • The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
  • A surge in U.S. LNG exports
  • And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.
