Insiders Cash Out: DELL, AGX Lead Sells

Insider filings this week reveal heavy selling at several US companies, with DELL and Argan topping the list.

Dell dumps $878M in stock. Five insiders at DELL filed sales totalling nearly $878 million. Silver Lake Group and director David Dorman led the charge. Dorman alone sold over $14 million worth of shares at around $405 each on June 12. Silver Lake, a 10% owner, filed multiple tranches of sales the same day.

Argan's trio all sell. Three insiders at AGX filed sell transactions worth a combined $40 million. Chairman William Griffin sold 50,000 shares for $32 million. CEO David Watson followed with almost $6.5 million in sales. Both filed on June 16, signalling a coordinated exit near recent highs around $650.

AAOI CEO trims big stake. Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) founder and CEO Thompson Lin filed a $9.8 million sale on June 16. At least three other senior executives sold in the same two-week window — a pattern worth watching in a stock that has moved sharply higher.

D-Wave CFO books profits. QBTS CFO John Markovich filed two sales totalling $5.1 million on June 16. The quantum computing stock has rallied strongly in 2025, and this is the CFO's first significant filing in recent months.
