Tempus AI y GitLab: ¿Por qué Ark Invest compró acciones tras sus resultados financieros?

GitLab Inc

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). The trades occurred amidst Tesla&#8217;s recall of over 46,000 Cybertrucks and Meta&#8217;s ongoing privacy challenges.
The Tesla Trade saw Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) acquiring 9,351 shares of the Elon Musk-led automaker. This purchase, valued at approximately $2.21 million based on Tesla&#8217;s closing price of $236.26, comes at a time when Tesla is under scrutiny. The company recently announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44414187/elon-musks-tesla-recalls-over-46000-cybertrucks-due-to-safety-concerns">recall of 46,096 Cybertruck vehicles</a> due to safety concerns with an exterior panel.
Additionally, Tesla is grappling with a $1.4 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44410602/elon-musks-tesla-faces-1-4-billion-discrepancy-in-capital-expenditure-report">discrepancy in capital expenditure</a>. This financial gap has contributed to a significant drop in Tesla&#8217;s market valuation, from $1.7 trillion to under $800 billion. However, Ark&#8217;s purchase suggests a belief in Tesla&#8217;s ability to overcome these hurdles and continue its growth trajectory.
The Meta Platforms Trade involved Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKK ETF selling 4,648 shares of the Mark Zuckerberg-led company. This sale, valued at approximately $2.72 million based on Meta&#8217;s closing price of $586.00, follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44409161/cathie-wood-offloads-meta-stock-while-mark-zuckerberg-celebrates-llama-ai-success">series of recent offloads</a> by Ark. The decision comes as Meta&#8217;s AI model, Llama, celebrates a milestone of 1 billion downloads, yet the company faces privacy scrutiny and expansion challenges.
Importantly, Meta&#8217;s potential to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44374847/meta-could-rake-in-30-40-billion-in-revenue-from-whatsapp-business-messaging-predicts-analyst">generate $30-40 billion in revenue</a> from its business messaging services is seen as undervalued by the market, according to Wolfe Research.

Still, even the most seasoned investors can face moments of doubt, particularly during market downturns or political uncertainty.
This is the case of a 73-year-old retiree who has relied on Vanguard for more than a decade but is now questioning his approach amid market volatility.

&#8220;The current administration scares me to death; I&#8217;ve lost ~10% of my account in the last month.

The Reddit community responded to the poster with a mix of caution and practical advice, so let&#8217;s dive into those.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">73-Year-Old Investor With All-Vanguard Portfolio Afraid of Market Volatility–Reddit Responds</h2>
Rebalance to a More Conservative Portfolio
The consensus among commenters was that the investor&#8217;s current portfolio is too aggressive for his age and risk tolerance, so many suggested rebalancing to a more conservative combo.
&#8220;It&#8217;s impossible to shelter yourself from the current downturn and still own stocks. Your allocation is aggressive for a typical 73-year-old. VSMGX is 60/40 stocks/bonds. VTSAX is 100% stock. Given that VTSAX is 70% of the total, overall you are 88% stock,&#8221; a Redditor suggested.
A user responded to this comment, agreeing with it and recommending a more conservative allocation.
&#8220;Yeah, that&#8217;s where you should be at like age 53, not age 73. You should have a much more conservative portfolio. Are you planning to live to 120? If not, let&#8217;s be real: You need this money to last you another 10-20 years, probably. Get into a more conservative portfolio.&#8221;
A Redditor acknowledged the investor&#8217;s past success but advised him to shift toward bonds to reduce risk.
&#8220;You have basically won by going with a very aggressive 70% VTSAX and 30% VSMGX for the last 13 years. After these fantastic gains, I think it would be good to add a lot more bonds because you are older now and because you are worried about this downturn,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;You are way too heavy in stocks for someone who is 73, particularly if this administration scares you,&#8221; a comment reads.
&#8220;You are still up over 10% the past year; reallocate into bonds and a healthy amount of cash even. You're good,&#8221; another Redditor said.
See Also: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
Avoid Emotional Decisions and Stay the Course
Many Redditors cautioned against making any emotional decisions based on short-term market fluctuations.
&#8220;Stop looking at your portfolio and realize that this 10% drop in your portfolio really means nothing in the context of the long-term gains your portfolio has had. In other words, close the laptop and go live your life,&#8221; a comment says.
&#8220;You have lost the gains of the last 6 months. Calm down,&#8221; a Redditor wrote.
A commenter said he relates to the investor&#8217;s concerns and shared what actions he&#8217;s thinking of taking to avoid panic selling and unnecessary risk.
&#8220;Your risk tolerance is decreasing. I can relate. I&#8217;m close to retirement and the latest activity in the market made me rethink my allocation. I&#8217;ve been aggressive but now want to do more capital preservation. I dropped to 60% equities and 40% bonds; my wife wants to drop it even further. I don&#8217;t want to make panic-driven decisions and predict downturns. But I do want to have a portfolio that I can sleep well at night. I don&#8217;t need to be focused aggressively on capital appreciation anymore and can be more conservative in my investments,&#8221; he shared.

Retired Investor With 13-Year Vanguard Strategy Asks 'Where Do I Go In Vanguard?' – Wants Out Of Tesla And Meta Amid Market Fears

A federal judge has taken issue with the&nbsp;Trump administration&nbsp;for its handling of Venezuelan deportation flights, highlighting a lack of adequate response to a court order.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge James Boasberg criticized the administration for not providing sufficient details about Venezuelan deportation flights, according to <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5206108-trump-administration-venezuelan-deportation-flights/">The Hill</a>. The Justice Department missed a deadline to submit flight information, opting instead for a declaration from an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement official.
The declaration indicated that &#8220;Cabinet Secretaries are currently actively considering whether to invoke the state secrets privilege.&#8221; Judge Boasberg, appointed by former President Barack Obama, demanded an update from someone directly involved in the discussions by Friday. By Tuesday, officials must explain their non-compliance with court orders that block Trump&#8217;s use of the Alien Enemies Act.
The Justice Department maintains it adhered to Boasberg's written order, arguing the oral order was not binding. Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union claims the government could have returned deportees until they were in foreign custody. The administration has suggested invoking the state secrets privilege to withhold sensitive information.

Why It Matters: This legal challenge comes amid Trump&#8217;s ambitious deportation plans, which aim to remove <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43216758/well-go-as-far-as-im-allowed-trumps-plan-with-immigrants-starts-with-1-million-deportations">one million undocumented immigrants</a> in his first year back in office. Trump had expressed his willingness to use the National Guard to achieve this goal, stating he will go &#8220;as far as I&#8217;m allowed to go, according to the laws of our country.&#8221;
Despite the controversy, a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43769836/trump-gains-trust-of-majority-on-americans-on-immigration-and-economy">recent poll</a> indicates that 52% of Americans trust Trump's handling of immigration. This trust is particularly strong among Republicans, with 87% expressing confidence in his immigration policies. However, the administration&#8217;s approach to deportations and its legal challenges could impact public perception and policy implementation.

Analysts at some of the world's largest investment banks believe gold prices will continue surging for much of 2025.<a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/gold-prices-are-forecast-to-rise-another-8-percent-this-year"> Goldman Sachs</a> recently upped its target price for gold from $2,890 to $3,100 per ounce, while JPMorgan's predictions of gold hitting $3,000 per ounce have already come to pass.
Considering that Royal Gold is coming off a strong 2024, those predictions are music to shareholders' ears. The Denver-based company's<a href="https://royalgold.com/investors/financial-reports/default.aspx"> year-end report for 2024</a> featured several impressive results, which included:
<ul>
<li>$332 million in net income &#8211; a 39% increase over the previous year</li>
<li>$719.4 million in revenue &#8211; a 19% increase over the previous year</li>
<li>$529.5 million in operating cash flow &#8211; a 27% increase over the previous year</li>
<li>$346.4 million in adjusted net income ($5.26 per share)</li>
</ul>
The revenue, operating cash flow, and earnings figures are all record totals. Royal Gold also met its upper-end expectations for gold sales, while surpassing expectations for copper and the rest of its portfolio. According to the report, gold sales accounted for 76% of Royal Gold's revenue in 2024. That puts Royal Gold in a great position to profit from the increase in gold prices predicted by <a href="https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/global-research/outlook/market-outlook">JPMorgan</a> and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44200350/salesforce-ai-expansion-sparks-analyst-optimism-400-price-forecast-set"> Goldman</a>.

"Our business is designed to deliver leverage to gold, and our 2024 results demonstrate the direct relationship between a strong and rising gold price and Royal Gold&#8217;s financial performance," CEO Bill Heissenbuttel said in the earnings release. "This leverage is evidenced by the impressive percentage increases in operating cash flow and net income, both of which exceeded that of revenue. The foundation of our performance is our diversified portfolio."
Royal Gold's strong 2024 performance was also reflected in its dividend, which increased for the 24th consecutive year. The company announced the 2024 dividend of $1.60 per share will increase to $1.80 in 2025. That's a 12.5% increase and shareholders could get an even bigger payout if gold prices continue to rise as predicted. This stock has the potential to be a strong performer for passive income investors in 2025.

Gold Is Surging -- Could Buying This Gold Dividend (RGLD) Stock Be The Best Way To Profit On The Trend?

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) has launched many video games over the years. It has its first MMO coming soon, adding to the company&#8217;s library of games based <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39213738/netflix-reality-show-games-and-chill-streaming-giant-sees-success-from-interactive-games-ba">on its own series </a>and external characters.
What Happened: Netflix recently announced it will launch Spirit Crossing, adding to its lineup of content and exclusives for subscribers<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/41821069/netflix-stock-hits-all-time-highs-company-confirms-stranger-things-season-5-for-2025"> later this year.</a>
"Prepare to adventure into a joyful world with Spirit Crossing, a massively cooperative life sim designed to encourage friendship and make the world feel a little less lonely," the company <a href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/spry-foxs-spirit-crossing-comes-to-netflix-later-this-year">said </a>of the new game.
The game comes from Spry Fox, which Netflix acquired in 2022. The studio has previously released games like Triple Town, Alphabear and Cozy Grove.
Netflix says Spirit Crossing will be the biggest game ever released by Spry Fox.
An MMO, which stands for massively multiplayer online, is an online video game that allows gamers to take part in the same virtual world. Netflix said players will be encouraged to work together with other players to build and decorate their homes and villages, explore the wilderness, follow friends and make new friends to gather resources together.
Interested gamers can<a href="https://playspiritcrossing.com/"> sign up</a> for a closed alpha of the game ahead of its full release.

 Why It's Important: Netflix has launched games for years and acquired several gaming companies. This could mark one of the streaming company's most ambitious projects in the gaming space to date.
The launch of an MMO game might keep players interested for longer if done correctly and could provide valuable minutes in game for Netflix's engagement statistics as players customize their world and adventure together.
Cozy games — which are non-violent, emphasizing relaxation — have grown in popularity and Netflix entered the market with a launch from a company that had success in the space. While this game won&#8217;t get as many headlines as its game based on &#8220;Squid Game,&#8221; this could be a storyline to watch for the streamer in 2025.
Since this game isn&#8217;t based on existing Netflix property, the streaming giant has the opportunity to go in reverse order and launch future shows and movies if the game is successful and could also launch consumer products and licensed goods around the game.
Along with announcing Spirit Crossing, Netflix also announced several other upcoming games.
<ul>
<li>The Electric State &#8211; Kid Cosmo: a puzzle game based on the recently released movie "The Electric State" that is available now.</li>
<li>Steel Paws: adventure game from Japanese game developer Yu Suzuki, known for his work on Out Run, Shenmue and Virtua Fighter. The game is scheduled for a March 25 release.</li>
