Title: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Sells $12.94 Million Worth of Shares; Insider Trading Plan Continues
Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has sold $12.94 million worth of shares as part of a pre-arranged plan to sell up to 6 million shares. This follows his earlier sale of 225,000 shares for around $37 million. Huang's transactions are in line with the company's efforts to raise capital, despite its strong financial performance.
The sales, which took place on July 9, 2025, are part of a 10b5-1 trading plan disclosed in March. This plan allows Huang to sell up to 6 million shares through year-end. The transactions are not indicative of any underlying issues with Nvidia's future potential, as they are part of a prearranged plan to manage Huang's financial or personal obligations.
The recent sales come as Nvidia stock continues its strong run. The stock has climbed more than 75% over the past three months, driven by the AI boom. The chipmaker recently hit a 52-week high after it announced its plans to resume H20 chip sales to China. Additionally, on July 9, Nvidia became the first U.S. public company to hit a $4 trillion market cap, fueled by booming demand for AI chips, surpassing both Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL).
According to the Form 4 filed with the SEC on July 18, Huang sold 75,000 NVDA shares in multiple tranches at weighted average prices ranging between $169.7 and $173.6 per share. This sale is part of a larger trend of insider selling, with NVDA stock currently having a Very Negative Insider Confidence Signal on TipRanks, based on Informative Sell transactions worth $438 million, undertaken in the last three months.
Despite the insider selling, analysts remain optimistic about Nvidia's prospects. On TipRanks, NVDA stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 34 Buys, three Hold ratings, and one Sell rating. The average Nvidia price target of $182.49 implies 5.85% upside potential from current levels.
Investors should view Huang's stock sales as routine and not indicative of any underlying issues, given Nvidia's strong market position and Huang's continued substantial ownership stake. The company recently posted a quarterly revenue of $44.1 billion, marking a 69% increase year-over-year, with projections for the second quarter reaching $45 billion. Nvidia's strategic partnerships, such as the collaboration with HP to launch AI factory offerings, further solidify its leadership in the AI sector.
