Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest on Tuesday rushed to buy shares in Zoom Video Communications Inc. (ZM), on the day shares of the video calling company plunged over concerns of business' growth slowing as businesses and schools reopen.

The popular investment firm bought 194,080 Zoom shares — estimated to be worth about $56.19 million. ZM shares closed 16.7% lower at $289.50 on Tuesday.

The New York-based investment firm bought shares in Zoom via the Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) and the Ark Next Generation ETF (ARKW).

Zoom is the sixth-largest holding in ARKK, behind Tesla Inc (TSLA) and Teladoc Health Inc (TDOC) among others in a portfolio of 46 stocks.
