Ark Investment Buys $53.5 Million of Tesla After 18% EPS Drop

Summary
$53.5 million in Tesla shares was bought by Ark Investment Management after the stock slid following the EV maker’s second-quarter earnings report.
Tesla’s revenue rose 26% to $28.2 billion and deliveries climbed 25% to 480,126, but adjusted EPS fell 18% year over year to $0.33, disappointing investors.
Tesla is spending heavily on growth projects, with capex tied partly to its robotaxi push, which management says now operates in six U.S. cities and has logged more than 380,000 unsupervised miles without a notable incident.
That bet still carries execution and regulatory risk, with rivals such as Alphabet-owned Waymo running larger fleets and Elon Musk warning a single accident could complicate approvals.
