Nvidia insiders have sold more than $1 billion in stock over the past 12 months, the Financial Times reported this weekend, as the semiconductor giant continues to ride historic gains driven by artificial intelligence demand.
Over 50% of insider sales occurred in June 2025, amid a fresh rally that sent Nvidia’s stock to record highs.
CEO Jensen Huang was among the sellers, offloading shares under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which automates pre-scheduled sales.
Other insiders include board members Mark Stevens, Tench Coxe, and Brooke Seawell, as well as EVP Jay Puri.
The reported transactions represent a small fraction of Nvidia’s $3+ trillion market capitalization.
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares are up 14% year-to-date, and have nearly quadrupled in value since 2023.
The company has emerged as the most valuable publicly traded firm globally, thanks to dominance in AI accelerators and data center hardware.
Last week, shares hit an all-time high, supported by:
Strong Q2 revenue guidance
Continued enterprise and hyperscaler adoption of Nvidia’s AI stack
Optimism around Blackwell chips and inference-as-a-service strategy
CEO Jensen Huang maintains that AI demand remains structurally strong, particularly in cloud infrastructure, sovereign AI, and enterprise deployment.
Analysts expect Nvidia’s fiscal 2026 earnings to grow over 50%, reinforcing bullish sentiment even amid stretched valuation metrics.
While insider sales often raise eyebrows, financial experts caution that these transactions — especially pre-scheduled ones — do not necessarily signal a lack of confidence. In Nvidia's case, massive stock price appreciation has created liquidity opportunities for long-time executives and early investors.
