A wave of insider selling swept US markets last week, with filings revealing over $500M in exits across several high-profile names.
The biggest US headline belongs to TWLO. A board-linked hedge fund filed a sale of $184M worth of Twilio shares on May 27 — 1 million shares at $184.14 each. That is a single-day exit that dwarfs most insider trades this year.
The Walton family trust filed three separate WMT sell transactions totalling $252M. The trades occurred May 22–26. The Walton family regularly trims its position, but the timing — just as Walmart trades near all-time highs above $120 — stands out.
Ralph Lauren's founder filed a $99.7M exit from RL on May 28. Lauren sold 263,654 shares at $378.25. The stock has rallied sharply in 2026.
AI infrastructure darling CRWV saw director Jack Cogen file two sells totalling $71M in late May. CoreWeave only IPO'd in March. Insiders exiting this quickly after listing is a pattern worth watching.
NVTS director Ranbir Singh filed a sale on May 29 — 3 million shares at $29.29. That is a significant reduction in a semiconductor name.
