Cathie Wood's Ark Is Now Completely Out Of Netflix

Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management on Tuesday sold the remaining shares that it held in Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX) to fully cut its exposure in the streaming video-on-demand company.

The popular investment management firm sold the balance 103 shares — estimated to be worth $47,084 — in Netflix on the day shares of the company closed 7% higher at $457.13 a share.

Netflix stock is down 23.5% year-to-date; shares plummeted earlier this month after fourth quarter results missed subscriber growth expectations slightly, and the company guided to much lower growth in the first quarter.
