ARK Invest increased its exposure to Nvidia, Broadcom and Cloudflare on August 10 while trimming holdings including Deere, Shopify and Snowflake, according to the firm’s latest trade disclosures. The moves span several ARK ETFs and come as the investment manager continues to adjust its portfolios around AI, technology and other innovation-focused themes.
ARK Adds Nvidia Across Five Funds
ARK’s largest technology trade on Monday was Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), with purchases spread across five ETFs. The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) bought 57,202 shares, while the ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF (ARKQ) added 18,542 shares. ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) purchased 31,958 shares, ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (ARKG) bought 7,785 shares, and ARK Space Exploration & Innovation ETF (ARKX) added another 7,785 shares. Combined, the five funds purchased 123,272 Nvidia shares.
Based on Nvidia’s Monday closing price of around $219, the combined position would be worth roughly $26.8 million if valued at the closing price. The figure is an estimate rather than the actual amount paid, because ARK’s trade notification reports shares rather than execution prices.
The purchases came as Nvidia shares declined during a broader technology-sector pullback. The stock fell about 2.5% to 2.9% on Monday, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.3%. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average also edged lower.
The timing also followed Nvidia’s announcement of a planned financing initiative involving major financial institutions to support more than $500 billion in AI infrastructure investment. The announcement highlighted the scale of capital required for the next phase of AI data-center expansion, although Nvidia shares moved lower during Monday’s session.
Broadcom and Cloudflare Also Added
Nvidia was not the only major technology name purchased by ARK on Monday. ARKK bought 29,471 Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) shares, while ARKQ added another 9,549 shares. That brought the combined Broadcom purchase to 39,020 shares.
Broadcom closed Monday at $422.40, meaning those shares had a market value of approximately $16.5 million at the closing price. Broadcom declined 1.25% during the session.
ARK also purchased Cloudflare (NYSE: NET) through two funds. ARKK added 46,791 shares and ARKF purchased 11,351 shares, for a combined 58,142 shares.
Cloudflare shares rose 3.44% on Monday to close at $310.59, according to market data, putting the combined purchase at roughly $18.1 million based on the closing price. The firm also added 25,790 shares of Teradyne (NASDAQ: TER) through ARKK. Teradyne fell 3.75% on Monday to close at $365.10.
Taken together, the Nvidia, Broadcom, Cloudflare, and Teradyne purchases represent roughly $71 million of exposure when valued using their respective August 10 closing prices. That calculation is only an approximation because ARK’s disclosure does not provide the execution price for each trade.
ARK Cuts Deere and Other Holdings
The trades also included several notable reductions. ARKK sold 56,323 shares of Deere & Co. (NYSE: DE), the largest individual sale in the disclosure by share count. At Deere’s August 10 closing price of $609.28, that position would have been worth approximately $34.3 million based on the closing price. Deere shares fell 1.86% during Monday’s session.
ARK also sold 106,998 shares of 10X Genomics through ARKK and another 15,592 shares through ARKG. Other reductions included 11,525 Palantir shares through ARKQ, 11,417 Shopify shares through ARKW and 15,830 Snowflake shares through ARKW.
ARK also continued to trim Brera Holdings across several of its funds, although those transactions represented a much smaller portion of the portfolios than the larger technology trades.
The trade pattern therefore was not simply a broad increase in technology exposure. ARK simultaneously increased positions in selected AI, semiconductor and software companies while reducing exposure to several existing holdings.
AI Infrastructure Remains a Major Theme
The Nvidia and Broadcom purchases come against a backdrop of accelerating investment in AI computing infrastructure. Nvidia remains one of the central suppliers of GPUs and related computing infrastructure used to train and operate large AI models. Broadcom has also benefited from demand for AI-related networking and custom silicon.
The broader market has increasingly focused on how much capital technology companies, cloud providers and AI developers will need to deploy to build data centers, secure electricity and purchase computing hardware.
Monday’s market action illustrated the tension surrounding that investment cycle. Nvidia shares fell despite the company’s involvement in a financing initiative aimed at mobilizing more than $500 billion for AI infrastructure. The development reinforced the scale of expected spending while also raising questions among investors about capital requirements and execution.
ARK’s trade disclosure does not state that the Nvidia, Broadcom, Cloudflare or Teradyne purchases were made specifically because of those developments. Any connection between the individual trades and the broader AI narrative therefore remains an interpretation rather than a stated rationale from ARK.
How the Trades Fit ARK’s Recent Strategy
The latest transactions are consistent with a broader pattern visible in ARK’s recent disclosures: the firm has continued to adjust its exposure to technology and crypto-related companies while maintaining positions in businesses it associates with long-term technology themes.
In July, ARK purchased $13.9 million worth of Circle shares during a continued decline in the stablecoin company’s stock. The purchase extended a series of Circle additions that brought ARK’s July purchases to nearly $45 million.
ARK also increased its exposure to Coinbase, Circle, Bullish, and Robinhood in late June as crypto-linked equities rallied. The firm purchased approximately $6.85 million of Coinbase shares, $6.21 million of Circle, $3.54 million of Bullish and nearly $300,000 of Robinhood in that session.
More recently, ARK has also been active in SpaceX, buying shares across several ETFs while reducing its Robinhood position. The firm purchased about $20.5 million of SpaceX shares on July 20, continuing a series of additions following the company’s public listing.
Those trades show that ARK’s portfolio activity extends across AI, software, financial technology, crypto infrastructure, autonomous technology, and space-related companies rather than being concentrated in a single sector.
Nvidia Trade Comes Ahead of Earnings
The Nvidia purchase also comes roughly two weeks before the company’s next quarterly earnings report. Nvidia is scheduled to report its second-quarter fiscal 2027 results on August 26.
That timing is relevant because semiconductor and AI stocks can experience significant volatility around earnings, particularly when investor expectations for AI infrastructure spending are high.
However, ARK’s trade notification does not indicate whether the purchases were connected to Nvidia’s upcoming results. The transaction should therefore be viewed as a disclosed portfolio adjustment rather than evidence of a specific near-term view on the company’s earnings.
What the Latest Trades Show
The August 10 disclosure provides a snapshot of how ARK adjusted its actively managed portfolios during a volatile technology session. Nvidia was the most widespread purchase, appearing across five ETFs, while Broadcom was added through two funds. Cloudflare was also purchased through two funds, and Teradyne was added through ARKK.
At the same time, ARK reduced several existing positions, including Deere and 10X Genomics. The trades are portfolio actions by ARK Invest and are not, by themselves, recommendations for investors to buy, sell or hold the securities involved.
