On Monday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made notable trades involving Palantir Technologies Inc. PLTR. and Amazon.com Inc. AMZN.

The Palantir Trade

Ark Invest executed a significant sale of Palantir Technologies Inc. shares across multiple ETFs, including Ark Fintech Innovation ETF ARKF, ARK Innovation ETF ARKK, and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF ARKW. The total shares sold amounted to 196,728. The trade was worth $14.93 million. This move comes amid a backdrop of mixed analyst ratings for Palantir.

The stock closed at $75.92 on Monday, reflecting a 4.97% decline.

Despite its strong performance in U.S. commercial and government sectors, Palantir’s valuation has been a point of contention among analysts. On Sunday, CNBC host Jim Cramer indicated interest in purchasing Palantir shares for his investing club portfolio.

Palantir stock has shot up over 355% over an one-year period but is down 0.4% since 2025 began.
