TLDR: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has finalized a pre-planned sale of over $1 billion in company stock since June, a move that coincides with a significant rally in Nvidia’s shares driven by robust demand for artificial intelligence processors.
Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang has concluded a substantial pre-arranged stock sale, offloading more than $1 billion worth of the chipmaker’s shares since June 2025. The final transaction, involving 25,000 shares, was reported on October 31, 2025, marking the completion of a plan initiated in March to sell up to six million shares by the year’s end. Initially valued at approximately $865 million when sales commenced in late June, the value of the sold shares surged past the $1 billion mark due to a more than 40% increase in Nvidia’s stock price, fueled by what Bloomberg described as “unquenchable demand” for artificial intelligence processors.
This strategic divestment comes as Nvidia continues its explosive growth, solidifying its position as a dominant force in the AI industry. The California-based company recently achieved a market capitalization exceeding $5 trillion, just four months after crossing the $4 trillion threshold. This remarkable ascent has also created new billionaires, including board member Brooke Seawell.
Huang, 62, currently holds the ninth position on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, with an estimated fortune of $175.7 billion, having seen his wealth grow by $61.3 billion this year alone. Despite the recent sales, he maintains a significant 3.5% stake in Nvidia, having sold over $2.9 billion in company stock since 2001. Additionally, Huang has donated shares valued at more than $300 million to his foundation and a donor-advised fund this year.
The trend of insider selling extends beyond Huang. Jayshree Ullal, CEO of Arista Networks Inc., reportedly surpassed Huang’s record in individual stock sales, ranking only behind Amazon.com Inc. Chairman Jeff Bezos among top company insider sellers. Nvidia insiders, including Huang, collectively sold nearly $1.5 billion in stock through the third quarter of 2025, with total insider sales for 2024 exceeding $2 billion, a significant increase from $462 million in 2023.

Analysts generally remain optimistic about Nvidia’s future, with 73 out of 80 rating the stock as a “buy.” HSBC’s Frank Lee raised the target price to $320 per share, citing strong AI accelerator demand. However, some skepticism exists, with Seaport Global’s Jay Goldberg comparing the AI hype to the dot-com bubble and setting a target price of $100 per share. Huang himself expressed optimism for future growth, predicting up to $500 billion in revenue from next-generation Blackwell and Rubin chips.
