Executives Cash Out as Filings Flood In

Insider selling dominated disclosures filed this week. ASTS founder and CEO Abel Avellan filed June 23, revealing he sold 2.5 million shares for $146.7M on June 22. The sale was priced at $58.68 per share. AST SpaceMobile has been one of 2026's hottest satellite broadband stocks.

At NVDA, Independent Director Mark Stevens filed two sales on June 23, totalling $186M in shares sold on June 18. The transactions covered 885,000 shares at around $210 each.

The most striking cluster came from AGX, Argan Inc. Six insiders — including Chairman William Griffin Jr., CEO David Watson, CFO Joshua Baugher, and three independent directors — all filed sales within days of each other. Combined, they offloaded $79.2M in shares, with Griffin alone accounting for $69M across three trades. That level of coordinated selling at the same company is rare.

Hyatt Hotels CEO Mark Hoplamazian filed multiple sales on June 23, totalling roughly $22.5M sold across several tranches.

One buyer stood out. Paul Berns, an Independent Director at biotech firm KARD, filed a $20M purchase on June 24 — buying 1.25 million shares at $16 each. That kind of director-level buying signals strong internal confidence.
