Nvidia insiders sold over $1 billion in stock amid market surge: Report
Nvidia insiders sold over $1 billion worth of company stock in the past year, with a notable uptick in recent trading activity as executives capitalize on surging investor interest in artificial intelligence, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
More than $500 million of the share sales took place this month as the California-based chip designer's share price climbed to an all-time high, the report said.
Jensen Huang, Nvidia's chief executive, started selling shares this week for the first time since September, the SEC filing showed.
Nvidia's stock hit a record on Wednesday, and the chipmaker reclaimed the crown as the world's most valuable company after an analyst said the chipmaker was set to ride a "Golden Wave" of artificial intelligence.
Its latest gains reflect the U.S. stock market's return to the "AI trade" that fueled massive gains in chip stocks and related technology companies in recent years on optimism about the emerging technology.
Nvidia declined to comment on the FT report.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.
Nvidia's shares have rebounded over 60% from their closing low on April 4, when Wall Street was reeling from President Donald Trump's global tariff announcements. U.S. stocks, including Nvidia, have recovered on expectations the White House will reach trade deals to soften the tariffs.

AM Green Group acquires 17.5 pc stake in Greenko Energy Holdings from ORIX
Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh), June 30 (UNI) AM Green BV today said it has signed definitive documents to acquire 17.5 per cent equity stake in Greenko Energy Holdings from ORIX Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary AM Green Power BV. AMG will own 25 percent stake (along with AMG promoter's current stake) in Greenko post-closing of this transaction in July 2025, the company said in a release here. As part of this transaction, ORIX has also entered into an agreement to invest in a convertible note issued by AM Green (Luxembourg) S.à.r.l ("AMG Lux"), the parent company that holds all shares of AMG. This investment will provide ORIX long-term exposure to green hydrogen, ammonia, SAF and other next-gen molecules, aligning with its capital recycling strategy. 'This transaction is a key milestone in building one of the world's fully integrated and scalable green energy platforms,' said Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder and CEO of AM Green. 'We thank ORIX for their continued partnership and belief in our vision,' he added. ORIX stake acquisition strengthens AM Green's upstream integration through Greenko, one of India's leading renewable energy companies, operating over 10 GW of renewable and pumped storage assets. Greenko is on track to build the world's largest 'Intelligent Energy Storage Cloud Platform' with over 100 GWh of daily storage capacity by 2030. Founded in 2023 by Greenko co-founders, Anil Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli, AMG is one of the largest fully integrated Power-to-X (P2X) platform with access to end to end industrial decarbonization solutions including renewable power (solar, wind, hydro), long-duration storage (pumped hydro), most competitive round the clock carbon free power and green molecules (green hydrogen, green ammonia, low carbon caustic soda, ethanol, and sustainable aviation fuel). AMG has plans to produce 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of green ammonia, with the first 1 MTPA project under construction in Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh). AMG has also signed green ammonia supply term sheets with several industrial and power companies in the OECD markets including Uniper SE, an energy company, and Yara Clean Ammonia, a trader and distributor of ammonia. AMG has also signed globally the largest power purchase agreements for supply of round the clock carbon free energy for its first 2 MTPA green ammonia projects and has access to electrolyzers through its manufacturing JV with John Cockerill. AM Green's Kakinada industrial complex, currently under construction, will be the world's first and largest integrated green industrial zone. It will house 2 MTPA of green ammonia production, 2 GW electrolyzer gigafactory and facilities for SAF and green chemical production. In 2024, AMG acquired Chempolis, a Finland-based innovator in sustainable biomass processing, to support its Bio2X platform. Known for its low-emission, low-water, and zero-waste process, Chempolis technology offers a scalable solution for circular bioeconomy applications, aligning with AM Green's commitment to decarbonization. Greenko's flagship 1.7 GW pumped storage project in Andhra Pradesh has already been commissioned with its next two pumped storage projects in Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka (2.5 GWs) are expected to be commissioned in 2026 and 2027 respectively.
