⬤ A longtime Nvidia board member just dumped 250,000 shares worth roughly $44.3 million on December 15, averaging about $177 per share. What makes this sale stand out isn't just the dollar amount—it's the timing and the seller's history. This director has been on Nvidia's board since 1993, giving them a front-row seat to the company's transformation from graphics cards to AI powerhouse.
⬤ Nvidia closed at $180.99 on December 19, up nearly 4% for the day. The stock's been on a tear over the past year, climbing from a 52-week low around $86.62 to a high above $212. While NVDA has pulled back from its peak, it's still trading well above where it started 2025, reflecting Wall Street's ongoing bet on Nvidia's dominance in AI chips and data centers.
Insider activity patterns often signal broader market sentiment shifts, noted the disclosure analysis, particularly when concentrated selling emerges during periods of elevated valuations.
⬤ The broader picture shows insiders have been consistently selling. Recent filings reveal 19 sell transactions totaling just over 3 million shares in the last three months—with zero insider purchases. Zoom out to six months and you'll see 56 sells. Go back a full year and that number jumps to 70 sales, still with no buys. Even after this December sale, the board member still holds over 7 million NVDA shares.
⬤ Why this matters: insider sales don't always mean trouble, but they do catch attention when a stock's been running hot. Nvidia's valuation has soared alongside the AI boom, and large insider transactions can shift sentiment quickly, especially in heavily traded tech names. As Nvidia continues driving the sector's momentum, watching who's selling—and how much—gives investors another data point for gauging confidence at the top.
