Nvidia Executives Cash Out Over $1 Billion Amid AI Stock Surge

Nvidia insiders have sold more than $1 billion worth of company shares over the past year, according to a Financial Times report, with over $500 million of those sales occurring in June alone.
The spike in selling comes as Nvidia’s stock reaches record highs, fueled by renewed investor enthusiasm around artificial intelligence.
CEO Jensen Huang began offloading shares this week for the first time since September, SEC filings show. The sales follow analyst projections of a continued AI-driven boom, which helped Nvidia briefly reclaim its status as the world’s most valuable company.
The company’s stock has surged more than 60% since early April, rebounding from a post-tariff dip triggered by global trade uncertainty. Investors appear confident that ongoing trade negotiations will ease pressure on U.S. tech stocks, with Nvidia once again at the center of the AI trade narrative.
Despite the insider activity, institutional demand for Nvidia remains strong. Analysts argue that share sales by executives may simply reflect profit-taking amid soaring valuations, rather than a signal of waning confidence. As Nvidia’s AI dominance grows, many expect the chipmaker to remain a cornerstone of technology portfolios in the near term.
