The stock market took a dive, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44132684/cathie-woods-bold-move-8-straight-days-of-buying-beam-therapeutics-as-stock-soars-14">Cathie Wood</a> didn&#8217;t flinch. Instead of retreating, the Ark Invest CEO saw an opportunity and went on a buying spree. According to<a href="https://www.investors.com/news/cathie-wood-ark-invest-coinbase-stock-robinhood-tesla-palantir-amd-coin-hood-tsla-pltr/"> Investor&#8217;s Business Daily</a>, her firm snapped up shares of Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), and more on March 10.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Bets in a Turbulent Market</h2>
Investor&#8217;s Business Daily said that Ark Invest picked up 79,318 shares of Tesla, valued at $17.62 million based on Monday&#8217;s closing price of $222.15. The firm also acquired 269,864 shares of Robinhood for $9.6 million and 64,358 shares of Coinbase, worth $11.53 million.&nbsp;

</ul>
Other buys included 147,551 shares of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) for $14.26 million, 152,253 shares of Palantir at $11.63 million, and 485,005 shares of Beam Therapeutics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>), valued at $12.46 million.
It&#8217;s a familiar strategy for Wood, who has built a reputation for &#8220;buying the dip.&#8221; She firmly believes in disruptive innovation and has placed some of her biggest bets on Tesla.&nbsp;
Wood thinks part of the recent demand dip for Tesla could result from broader fears about the economy. In a recent<a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/webinars/mar-2025-fund-webinar?utm_medium=email&amp;_hsmi=353364069&amp;utm_content=353364069&amp;utm_source=hs_email"> Ark Invest webinar</a>, she said, &#8220;Now, clearly, the political dynamics of the last few months are hitting demand; we also would suggest that the economic outlook is hitting demand—not just for Tesla—but for all auto manufacturers.&#8221;&nbsp;
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Despite the stock&#8217;s 31% decline this year and a growing list of challenges, Wood has maintained a bullish outlook. She told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-25/cathie-wood-sticks-with-tesla-predicts-stock-will-hit-2-600">Bloomberg TV</a> that Tesla&#8217;s price could soar over the next five years.
Tesla has been at the center of controversy for months. Since Elon Musk&#8217;s closer ties with the Trump administration, the electric vehicle company has faced public protests, boycotts, and even vandalism.&nbsp;
Musk&#8217;s role as an advisor to the Department of Government Efficiency has drawn criticism, with some accusing the CEO of shifting the company into politically charged territory.

The turmoil has had financial consequences. Tesla&#8217;s stock has been on a downward trend, while competitors, particularly China&#8217;s BYD, have continued to gain market share. According to <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/20/business/even-used-teslas-are-falling-out-of-favor/index.html">CNN</a>, Tesla vehicles&#8217; resale value has also dropped over the past month.
Amid the backlash, President Donald Trump publicly backed Musk. He said on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114141854575248527">Truth Social </a>that he would buy a Tesla, calling it a &#8220;show of confidence&#8221; in the company. The move follows a broader effort by Trump&#8217;s administration to support Tesla.&nbsp;

U.S. IND Represents Regulatory Clearance For BEAM-302 Spanning Six Countries and Second Open IND for a Beam In Vivo Base Editing Program in the U.S.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=CBsje_Xtz_cDfv6xJ9MGUStWgQ1d58JxqmOuiR5CJFoi__HBN6R2zqYvT7RqTyDgwhJhj8h-uqaBIvoHtT0Rslsh7A7UGCzjoOgFk5m8nhw=">Beam Therapeutics Inc.</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>), a biotechnology company developing precision genetic medicines through base editing, today announced that the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the investigational new drug (IND) application for BEAM-302 for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). AATD is an inherited genetic disorder that affects the lungs and/or liver, leading to early onset emphysema and liver disease, and for which there are no currently approved curative treatments.
"The FDA's clearance of our IND for BEAM-302 is a significant step toward advancing the development of this potential breakthrough treatment for patients living with AATD in the U.S.," said Giuseppe Ciaramella, Ph.D., president of Beam. "Earlier this month, we shared groundbreaking initial safety and efficacy data from our global Phase 1/2 study of BEAM-302, showcasing the first ever clinical genetic correction of a disease-causing mutation. As we move forward, we're laser focused on progressing this trial to enroll and dose more patients, activating more sites in new geographies, and preparing to present updated data in the second half of the year."
BEAM-302 is a liver-targeting lipid-nanoparticle (LNP) formulation of a guide RNA and an mRNA encoding a base editor designed to correct the disease-causing PiZ mutation in patients with AATD.&nbsp;BEAM-302 is being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 1/2, open-label, dose exploration and dose expansion clinical trial to investigate its safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and efficacy. Part A of the trial is designed to evaluate AATD patients with lung disease, and Part B will evaluate AATD patients with mild to moderate liver disease with or without lung disease. Initial safety and efficacy results from the trial were <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=eLpUtJQDGhOT-96QV9EmjS-eqi7vNw9giS21bCU0RmnfoF1S0ygOPuAgiV7VRlCfogUhzqafvf1JUgmroUCfZMEGkZAn6EqsupOzU9FcL0GaW6hHsTC6LAl3Zp2vdcenr3t73-LPXnY7tOmtZGcoJmuqAQkohAod7bqf56xC5BVS4aS05HuNGz24TjFrM-eUtI7ApEAo2scXy6FX9UMQNE-NbIsG2MljKIBdIsUlV0U=">reported</a> in March 2025 and established proof of concept for BEAM-302 as a potential one-time treatment for AATD. In addition to the U.S., BEAM-302 has received clinical trial authorization from the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands and Ireland.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is&nbsp;a genetic disorder that can cause lung disease and liver disease.&nbsp;It occurs when the body doesn&#8217;t produce enough AAT, a protein that protects the lungs and liver.&nbsp;
Following a single infusion of BEAM-302, rapid, durable and dose-dependent increases in total AAT, a new production of corrected M-AAT and decreases in mutant Z-AAT were observed in circulation.
<ul>
<li>Changes in total AAT were observed as early as Day 7, plateaued around Day 21 and were maintained for the duration of follow-up (up to Month 6 in the 15 mg cohort, Month two in the 30 mg cohort and Day 28 in the 60 mg cohort).</li>
<li>Increased total AAT was functional.</li>
</ul>
Beam plans to continue the dose-escalation portion of Part A of the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial, including enrolling and dosing a fourth dose cohort. It also expects to report further data at a medical conference in the second half of 2025.
In addition, the company plans to dose the first patient in Part B, including AATD patients with mild to moderate liver disease, in the second half of 2025.
Concurrently, Beam Therapeutics priced the underwritten offering of 16.15 million shares at $28.48 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 1.4 million at $28.47 per pre-funded warrant, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/g44214581/beam-therapeutics-announces-pricing-of-underwritten-offering" rel="noreferrer noopener">approximately $500 million gross proceeds</a>.

Cathie Wood is back in the spotlight, and so is her flagship ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>). After a rough year, the fund is showing <a href="https://portfolioslab.com/symbol/ARKK">signs of life</a>—but is this the start of a real comeback, or just another short-lived rally? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43466203/warren-buffetts-127-billion-stock-sell-off-sends-wall-street-a-stark-warning-for-2025-below-average-returns-ahead">Investors</a> are split, and the numbers tell an interesting story.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ARKK's Rebound, Skeptics, and the High-Stakes Bet on Innovation</h2>
So far this year, ARKK is up 6%—a solid lead over the S&amp;P 500's 2% gain and the Nasdaq's 1% increase. That's a welcome shift after 2024, when ARKK returned 12%—not bad, but nowhere near the S&amp;P 500's 24% surge.
Don't Miss:

</ul>
Looking at the bigger picture, ARKK's longer-term numbers tell a more complicated story. Over the past three years, its annualized return is -5.89%, and its five-year return barely hits 1.03%. By comparison, the S&amp;P 500 has delivered 13.14% and 14.27% over the same periods.&nbsp;
That's why some investors are still wary—last year, ARKK saw nearly $3 billion in outflows, as<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cathie-wood-sells-19-million-215254938.html"> Yahoo Finance</a> reports.
Michael Burry, best known for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, has been one of ARKK's loudest critics. He argues that many of its holdings burn through cash at unsustainable rates, and at one point, he even shorted the fund. Burry sees ARKK as too dependent on speculative growth stocks with shaky profitability.

Morningstar analyst&nbsp; Robby Greengold has also been skeptical of ARK Invest. Greengold downgraded the ARK Innovation ETF to a negative rating, citing concerns over risk management and portfolio concentration.
He believes the firm lacks structured risk management and relies too much on aggressive forecasting. The strategist <a href="https://www.channelchek.com/news-channel/morningstar_analyst_peeks_behind_aark_curtain_and_calls_fund_wretched">outlines his concerns</a>, pointing out that while Wood's strategy is bold, it also lacks a benchmarking strategy.
But Wood isn't backing down. She believes that regulatory rollbacks and technological advancements will fuel long-term innovation, and she's sticking to her guns. On Feb. 20, ARK Invest <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/cathie-woods-ark-buys-beam-therapeutics-sells-adaptive-biotech-stock-93CH-3882383">bought another 170,778 shares</a> of Beam Therapeutics Inc.

ARK now holds nearly 7.7 million shares of Beam, making up 8.54% of the company's outstanding stock. That investment places Beam as ARK's 20th largest position, per<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/ark-investment-management-llc-has-17529-million-stake-in-beam-therapeutics-inc-nasdaqbeam-2025-02-26/"> MarketBeat</a>. Not everyone is convinced. Short-sellers warn that biotech companies like Beam face steep financial challenges.&nbsp;
Jim Chanos, known for spotting overvalued stocks, believes ARK often gets caught up in hype without clear paths to profitability. While ARK supports disruptive innovation, Chanos said many of these companies are valued based on hype rather than fundamentals, making them risky long-term bets.
