On Monday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made notable trades, including a significant purchase of Bullish (NYSE:BLSH) shares and a sell-off of Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock.

The Palantir Technologies Trade

Ark Invest reduced its holdings in Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:PLTR) by selling 38,338 shares through ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:ARKK). This move comes after Palantir’s impressive third-quarter earnings report, which saw the company exceed analyst expectations. Palantir reported a revenue of $1.18 billion, surpassing the anticipated $1.09 billion, and adjusted earnings of 21 cents per share, beating the forecasted 17 cents per share. The company’s U.S. commercial revenue soared by 121% year-over-year, reaching $397 million.

Despite this positive performance, Ark Invest decided to trim its position. At the close of trading on Monday, Palantir’s stock was priced at $207.18, making the value of the shares sold approximately $7.9 million.
