Cathie Wood Invests $8.7 Million in Tempus AI Amid Market Volatility
Cathie Wood's Ark Investment Management has purchased nearly $8.7 million worth of shares in Tempus AI (TEM), a healthcare technology company, following a recent decline in the stock’s price. The move aligns with her strategy to invest during sharp pullbacks in high-growth stocks. Wood is known for focusing on innovative sectors like artificial intelligence and biotechnology but has faced significant volatility in her flagship Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK). While ARKK outperformed major indices in 2025, it underperformed the S&P 500 this year. Over five years, its annualized return is negative compared to a positive one for the broader market. Wood argues that technological innovation—especially AI—is having a deflationary impact on inflation and interest rates, which could support growth stocks in the future. However, her funds have seen substantial outflows recently as investors remain skeptical of their long-term performance.
