ARCHER AVIATION

Ark Invest disclosed trades showing it sold shares of Palantir and AMD and purchased about $3.35 million of Archer Aviation for its Ark Innovation ETF, making Archer the fund's 30th-largest holding at roughly 1.2% weight. The move reflects Ark's increased confidence in Archer amid its deal to acquire Boeing subsidiaries and Boeing taking a 16.5% stake, while Archer's stock is down significantly year to date. Ark's sales of Palantir and AMD appear to be profit-taking rather than a loss of conviction in those companies. » More on finance.yahoo.com
