Insiders at Nvidia sold shares worth over $1 billion (approximately Rs. 8,575 crore) in the past year, with a significant increase in trading activity noted recently as executives take advantage of heightened investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, according to a report by the Financial Times published on Sunday.
This month alone, more than $500 million (roughly Rs. 4,287 crore) in shares were sold, coinciding with a surge in Nvidia’s stock price, which reached unprecedented levels.
Jensen Huang, the company’s CEO, initiated share sales this week, marking his first divestment since September, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Nvidia’s stock reached a new peak on Wednesday, enabling the company to reclaim its status as the world’s most valuable corporation following an analyst’s assertion that it is poised to benefit from a “Golden Wave” in the artificial intelligence sector.
The recent price increases highlight a broader resurgence in the U.S. stock market, centered on the “AI trade” that has previously driven significant growth in chip manufacturers and technology firms due to optimism surrounding this transformative technology.
Nvidia chose not to comment on the Financial Times report.
Meanwhile, Reuters was unable to verify the claims made in the report immediately.
Since reaching a closing low on April 4, when markets were affected by global tariff announcements from then-President Donald Trump, Nvidia’s shares have rebounded more than 60 percent. This recovery has been fueled by rising expectations that the White House will negotiate trade deals to mitigate the impact of these tariffs.
