Insider filings from early September reveal a striking split in conviction between East and West.
NVDA director Mark Stevens sold over $410 million worth of Nvidia shares across seven transactions between August 31 and September 2, disclosed in filings on September 2. He offloaded nearly 1.85 million shares in total. Stevens holds an independent director role, making the scale of selling eye-catching — though readers should note these may reflect portfolio management rather than a fundamental view on the company.
Across the Pacific, a very different picture emerged. Ma Jianrong, Executive Chairman of Shenzhou International — Hong Kong's largest garment maker — spent over $51 million buying shares across four separate transactions between September 1 and September 4. He accumulated 11 million shares in that window. Repeated open-market buying at this scale from a founder-chairman is a strong signal of personal conviction.
Separately, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella filed a $36 million stock sale on September 1 — a modest reduction for a CEO of his scale, and routine for large-cap tech leaders managing diversified wealth.
In Korea, ROBOTIS CEO Kim Byeong Soo disclosed a $75 million sale on September 8. Robotics stocks have attracted heavy retail attention in 2026. The size versus a company of ROBOTIS's scale warrants monitoring.
The clearest takeaway: boardroom sellers dominate US megacaps, while Asian executives are quietly buying.
