TradingKey - Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, has recently drawn market attention by significantly selling off the company's stock. According to regulatory filings, Huang sold a total of 100,000 shares through eight separate transactions on June 20 and 23, 2025. Based on the closing price of 144.17 per share on those days, it realized approximately $14.4 million.
Notably, Huang plans to sell an additional 50,000 shares soon. Additionally, his pre-established 10b5-1 stock sale plan from March 2025 indicates that he intends to reduce his holdings by up to 6 million shares by the end of the year, potentially realizing a total cash amount of around $865 million based on current stock prices.
The timing of these sales aligns with the recent peak and subsequent decline in stock prices. Although current prices remain high, market sensitivity to executives collectively selling their shares has increased significantly.
Under the SEC's Rule 10b5-1 in the U.S., Huang's sale plan is automatically executed based on predetermined price and time conditions to avoid insider trading suspicions. In addition to Huang, Nvidia board member Mark Stevens sold 600,000 shares for $88 million on June 18, while CFO Colette Kress also plans to reduce her holdings by 500,000 shares, indicating an overall trend of divestment among company management.
As it stands now, Jensen Huang still holds over 900 million shares of Nvidia (accounting for about 4% of total shares). Analysts suggest that further observation is needed to determine how his selling activity relates to the company's fundamental business performance.
