Applied Materials CEO Gary Dickerson filed sales totalling over $49M this past week. The filings, reported July 1, covered trades on June 29–30. Dickerson sold roughly 70,000 shares across two sessions. He wasn't alone. The chip equipment giant's CTO, CFO-level peers, and board chairman also sold — pushing total AMAT insider disposals past $61M in the past two weeks.
ServiceTitan is seeing aggressive VC exits. Bessemer Venture Partners VIII filed sales of over $38M across four separate transactions between June 26 and July 2. The SaaS firm only IPO'd in late 2024, and its early backers are clearly booking gains.
