The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) stock continued its underperformance in 2024, returning just 8%. In contrast, the Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 indices returned 25% and 24%, respectively.
ARK Innovation ETF's strategic overweighting of Tesla and Coinbase has driven a significant performance rebound, positioning it for potential growth in 2025. Tesla's strong association with Elon Musk and favorable insurance trends in China support its growth, making it ARK Innovation ETF's top holding. Despite a slight YoY delivery decline, Tesla's robust performance and pro-growth policies under Trump could attract more investor capital to ARKK.
ARK Innovation ETF experienced a classic boom and bust cycle from 2020-2022, similar to historical market bubbles. Post-bust, ARKK is trading within its pre-mania range, indicating a return to the mean. The ETF is unlikely to recover quickly and may struggle for an extended period.
I would lean on the ETF that's led by some of the world's most time-tested and financially stable companies.
