AEHR saw a wave of insider selling this week. Six executives and directors filed sales totalling over $12M in just two days. CEO Gayn Erickson filed the largest single trade — dumping $5M worth of shares on August 12, disclosed on August 13.
The Chairman and Founder, Rhea Posedel, filed two separate sales. Together they totalled nearly $2M. Two Executive VPs, two independent directors, and the CEO all cashed out near the same time. That kind of coordinated exit is rare and worth watching.
Elsewhere, CRWV drew attention as hedge fund Magnetar Financial — a 10% owner — filed two block sales totalling over $85M this week. The AI infrastructure firm has been one of 2026's hottest IPO stories. Large-holder exits this size often signal a desire to lock in gains at elevated prices.
RSG offered a contrasting signal. Republic Services saw Bill Gates file a $33.9M purchase on August 14. Gates bought 157,096 shares at roughly $216 each. It was a fresh vote of confidence in the waste management giant.
GSAT saw four insiders file sales totalling over $20M. had three insiders file combined sales of $25M.
The dominant theme this week is distribution. Insiders across sectors are taking profits. The lone standout buyer is Gates at Republic Services — a notable contrarian signal among the selling crowd.
