Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang disclosed the sale of 100,000 shares of the company’s stock on Friday and Monday, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Huang’s stock sales were valued at roughly $15 million, with shares trading in a range of $142.50 to $145.63 during the trading sessions on Friday and Monday.
The stock sales are part of a plan that Huang and Nvidia disclosed in their most recent quarterly filing that would allow him to sell up to 6 million shares of the company’s stock before the end of 2025.
