Insider filings this week revealed a sharp split between sellers at the top and executives doubling down on their own stocks.
The biggest seller was the Walton Family Holdings Trust. They filed on June 4 showing they sold over $184M worth of WMT shares on June 2. NVDA director Mark Stevens also filed two large sales — totalling nearly $221M — on the same day and June 4.
Silver Lake Group filed to show it sold over $47M in DELL shares on June 2. That's a notable move from a board-level investor.
On the buying side, CEOs were active. Paul Sarvadi, Chairman and CEO of NSP (Insperity), filed a $7.9M purchase of 233,000 shares at $34.05 on June 3. That's a strong personal bet on the HR services firm.
AUPH CEO Kevin Tang filed back-to-back purchases on June 1 and 2, spending over $4.2M in total on Aurinia Pharmaceuticals shares at $15.28.
SMMT CEO Maky Zanganeh filed a $1.46M purchase of 100,000 Summit Therapeutics shares on June 4 — a fresh buy just this week.
The pattern is clear. Big institutional sellers are reducing exposure at the top. Meanwhile, company CEOs at smaller firms are putting their own money in.
