A cluster of high-value insider sales dominated filings over the past two weeks, with DELL, AMAT, and AGX topping the list.

Silver Lake Group filed sales totalling over $587M in Dell Technologies shares. The investment firm, which holds a board seat, offloaded multiple tranches starting June 4. Dell's General Counsel Richard Rothberg added an $8.2M sale on June 15, filed two days later.

At Applied Materials, CEO Gary Dickerson filed sales worth over $35M in total. All trades occurred on June 15–16. The independent board chairman also sold $5.5M of stock on the same dates. Four insiders filed sales at AMAT within 48 hours — a notable cluster for the chip equipment giant.

Argan Inc saw its President and CEO David Watson file a $6.5M sale on June 16. Chairman William Griffin Jr. also filed a $32M sale days earlier. Together, four insiders dumped over $41M worth of stock.

At Liquidia Corporation, board-linked venture funds offloaded more than $72M across multiple filings. Canaan VIII LP and Tiger Lily Capital led the selling.

On the buying side, Applied Optoelectronics founder and CEO Chih-Hsiang Lin filed no purchases — but three insiders collectively sold over $12.6M, filed June 16.
