The stock surge is fueled by demand for artificial intelligence processors. New partnerships announced this week contributed to the latest gains.

Huang isn’t alone in cashing out Nvidia shares. Company insiders sold nearly $1.5 billion in stock through the third quarter of 2025. In 2024, Nvidia insiders sold more than $2 billion, up from $462 million in 2023.

Board member Tench Coxe recently joined the world’s 500 richest people with a $7.5 billion net worth. Fellow director Mark Stevens ranks 247th with a $12.5 billion fortune.

The company has created seven billionaires total, including Huang. Board member Brooke Seawell joined the billionaire ranks as the stock climbed in recent days.

Truist Securities holds a Buy rating with a $228 price target. The firm cited Huang’s recent comments about a large GPU backlog as a positive indicator.

Arista Networks CEO Jayshree Ullal sold $861 million of her company’s stock, ranking behind only Amazon Chairman Jeff Bezos among top company insider sellers across all industries.
