Nvidia Corp. experienced insider selling as two directors, Tench Coxe and Mark Stevens, collectively offloaded approximately $180 million in shares amid the company’s record-breaking stock performance.
Tench Coxe, the third-largest Nvidia shareholder, recently unloaded 200,000 $NVDA shares, acquired in 1997, with a total value of $170 million. Serving as a board member since 1993 and previously holding a managing director role at Sutter Hill Ventures, Coxe divested these shares on March 5 at prices ranging from $850 to $852.50. Despite the sale, he still hold a substantial stake of over 3.7 million shares.
Mark Stevens, a director since 2008, disposed of 12,000 shares on March 4, fetching prices between $852 and $855.
This selling activity aligns with Nvidia’s remarkable 82% stock surge in the current year, driven by optimism regarding robust sales of its chips utilized in artificial intelligence computing.
Nvidia’s market value now stands at $2.22 trillion, making it the third-largest company in the S&P 500 Index, trailing only Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc.
Notably, in the previous month, additional directors had sold 99,000 shares following Nvidia’s impressive earnings report, amounting to around $80 million at that time.
