Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), a leading supplier of semiconductors, has experienced a recent surge in retail investment inflows. However, simultaneous insider selling activity has raised concerns about the stock's future direction.
Nvidia insiders, including top executives and directors, have been offloading their shares at an unprecedented rate. Among those aggressively selling their shares are President and CEO Jensen Huang, Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress, and several directors. So far, NVDA's insiders have sold $796 million worth of stock in 2024. This rise in insider selling suggests a lack of confidence in the stock's upward momentum.
Despite insider selling and the company's strong market position, there is still a high level of retail interest. Retail investors have been pouring money into Nvidia. Following the release of the company's first-quarter report, daily retail inflows increased to nearly $350 million. The increase in revenues of 18% from the previous quarter and 262% from a year ago and the recent stock split of 10 for 1 made Nvidia more accessible to a broader range of investors.
A possible overbought scenario is indicated by the relative strength index (RSI). In the short term, Nvidia’s shares are facing a bearish sentiment and have corrected more than 4% in recent days. But it's still up more than 160% year to date. In view of the company's leadership in AI, investors should keep a close eye on these developments as an Nvidia crash could burst the artificial intelligence bubble.
