Insider filings this month reveal a sharp split between bold buyers and aggressive sellers.
The biggest buy comes from SMMT. Summit Therapeutics Chairman and CEO Robert Duggan filed a $50M purchase on June 12 — snapping up 3.81 million shares at $13.12 each. That's 0.74% of the company in a single trade. President and CEO Mahkam Zanganeh also filed a $1.46M buy earlier in June. Two C-suite executives buying simultaneously is a strong signal of internal confidence.
On the sell side, AMAT dominates. Applied Materials CEO Gary Dickerson filed over $49M in sales across 11 trades on June 15–16. CTO Omkaram Nalamasu added another $20.8M. The board chairman chipped in $5.5M more. Total AMAT insider selling topped $100M in two days of filings.
AGX told a similar story. Argan's subsidiary chairman filed a $32M sale on June 12. Its own CEO filed a $6.5M sale three days later.
DVA CEO Javier Rodriguez filed $14.5M in sales across two DaVita trades filed June 17. The company's Chief Legal Officer also sold $1.9M the same week.
The contrast is stark. SMMT insiders are buying at depressed prices. Tech and healthcare executives are locking in gains near highs.
