Insider filings from the past two weeks show a split market. Some CEOs are buying heavily. Others are cashing in near highs.
The biggest buyer: SMMT CEO Bob Duggan filed on June 12 that he bought $50M worth of shares — 3.8 million shares at $13.12 each. That is a strong vote of confidence in Summit Therapeutics from the man who also chairs its board.
The biggest seller: ASTS Founder and CEO Abel Avellan filed June 23 that he sold $146.7M in AST SpaceMobile stock. He offloaded 2.5 million shares at $58.68. The CFO, Andrew Johnson, also filed a $4.3M sale days earlier.
Chip giant exits too: AMAT CEO Gary Dickerson filed on July 1 that he sold over $55M in Applied Materials shares across two days of trading. The company's CTO and a division president also sold in the same period.
NVIDIA director trims: NVDA board member Mark Stevens filed a combined $186M sale on June 23. The trades took place at around $210 per share.
President J. Michael Evans filed July 1 showing a $65.8M sale at $94.92. That is one of the largest disclosed Alibaba insider sales in recent months.
The pattern is clear. Tech and growth stocks are seeing heavy insider selling at elevated prices. Meanwhile, Duggan's $50M buy at Summit stands out as a notable contrarian signal.
