Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has initiated the process of selling company shares under a pre-arranged trading plan, attracting attention to executive actions amid current market conditions.
Jensen Huang's Share Sales
According to US Securities and Exchange Commission filings, Huang sold 100,000 shares in two batches, earning approximately $14.4 million. These sales mark his first under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established in March 2025 and disclosed in Nvidia's latest quarterly report. Huang has also filed documents indicating his intention to sell an additional 50,000 shares.
Benefits of the 10b5-1 Plan
The 10b5-1 trading plan allows executives to sell shares at predetermined times, helping to prevent accusations of insider trading. The plan was publicly disclosed by Nvidia, confirming that the transactions were scheduled in advance and not influenced by current market conditions. Huang has the option to sell up to 6 million shares by December 31, 2025, valued at around $865 million if fully sold at current prices.
Mark Stevens' Stock Sales
Nvidia board member and billionaire investor Mark Stevens also conducted stock sales without a preset plan like the 10b5-1. His approach allows him to control the timing of his trades, albeit under greater scrutiny from the public and investors due to potential concerns over insider information. Stevens reported approximately $88 million in proceeds from selling over 600,000 shares on June 18.
The share sales by Jensen Huang and Mark Stevens remain a topic of interest for investors, highlighting the variety of exit strategies from investments within the company, whether through planned sales or personal decisions.
