Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management on Thursday raised its exposure in Roblox Corp (NYSE: RBLX) stock on the dip. 

St. Petersburg, Florida-based Ark Invest bought 75,125 shares, estimated to be worth $2.29 million, in the San Mateo, California-based video game developer.

Roblox closed 7.1% lower at $30.5 on Thursday. The stock is down 69% so far this year, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Ark in February exited all of its exposure in Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX) and is now continuously lowering exposure in music streaming app Spotify Technology SA (NYSE SPOT). It is, however, piling up other entertainment stocks, including Roblox and Roku Inc (NASDAQ: ROKU).
