Nvidia insiders dump more than $1 billion in stock: report
The Financial Times reported that over $500 million in stock sales have occurred in the last month as Nvidia shares reached record highs, bringing the total value of insider sales above $1 billion.
Nvidia's stock is up over 14% year to date and has risen about 27% over the past year, as the AI chipmaker has reaped the rewards of surging investment in AI models and tools.
In the past five years, Nvidia's stock price has been up over 1,543%. The company's market cap has risen above $3.8 trillion.
Nvidia Ceo Sells $15M Worth Of Stock As Part Of Planned Sale
Nvidia CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang was among the company's leaders who have recently sold shares, disclosing the sale of 100,000 shares worth around $15 million in a regulatory filing last week.

Huang's sales were part of a previously disclosed plan that was revealed in March and would allow him to sell up to 6 million shares of Nvidia's stock before the end of 2025.
If he were to sell all 6 million shares at current prices, Huang would earn over $900 million from the proceeds.
Nvidia Shares Rise On Strong Q1 Earnings, Despite Export Control Headwinds
Trading plans such as what Huang has used, known as a 105b5-1 plan, are used so that executives and investors with large stakes in a given company can disclose potential sales without surprising the market and causing the transactions to be viewed as a shock.
Other Nvidia insiders have also sold shares, including board member Mark Stevens, who has sold $288 million in shares after disclosing a plan to sell up to 4 million shares.
Nvidia EVP of worldwide operations sold $25 million in shares, while two board members, Tench Coxe and Brooke Seawell, have sold $143 million and $43 million worth of stock this month, the FT reported.
Nvidia Announces Plans To Make Ai Supercomputers In Us For First Time
Those transactions follow a rebound in Nvidia's stock following its rapid rise in recent years, which experienced a setback earlier this year when Chinese AI firm DeepSeek released a significant new model.
Nvidia has also dealt with headwinds related to export controls on its most advanced AI chips, which restrict sales to countries like China.
The company's AI focus and the increased demand for AI advancements have helped Nvidia sustain its momentum despite those setbacks.
Huang said in a February interview on FOX Business Network's "The Claman Countdown" that adoption of AI is "incredibly fast" among what he described as the "core technology builders, the model builders and the companies that are building consumer-oriented AIs."
Earlier this year, Nvidia announced plans to manufacture AI supercomputers in the U.S., with its advanced Blackwell chips to be made in Arizona and AI supercomputers at facilities in Texas.Original article source: Nvidia insiders dump more than $1 billion in stock: report

AMC now warns moviegoers to expect ‘25-30 minutes' of ads and trailers
AMC Theatres is making it easier for moviegoers to know the actual start time of their film screening and avoid sitting through lengthy ads. A new notice has started appearing when people purchase tickets via the AMC website, warning that 'movies start 25-30 minutes after showtime.' This already mirrors the estimated runtime of AMC's preshow content, which includes ads and trailers, but now customers will be better informed if they want to arrive a little later without missing the start of their movie. This small change also tracks with a report made by The Hollywood Reporter last week that said AMC will soon start 'addressing the preshow on its ticketing platforms.' Starting today, AMC will also show more ads than before, meaning its preshow lineup may have to be reconfigured to avoid exceeding the 30-minute mark. The company made an agreement with the National CineMedia ad network that includes as much as five minutes of commercials shown 'after a movie's official start time,' according to The Hollywood Reporter, and an additional 30-to-60-second 'Platinum Spot' that plays before the last one or two trailers. AMC was the only major theater chain to reject the National CineMedia ad spot when it was pitched in 2019, telling Bloomberg at the time that it believed 'US moviegoers would react quite negatively.' Now struggling financially amid an overall decline in movie theater attendance and box-office grosses, AMC has reversed course, telling The Hollywood Reporter that its competitors 'have fully participated for more than five years without any direct impact to their attendance.'

California weakens major environmental law to make way for more housing
Many California developers will no longer have to take noise, air pollution, traffic and other environmental concerns into account when building housing in urban areas, according to changes lawmakers approved Monday night that dramatically alter a landmark state environmental law in an effort to spur a housing boom. The exemptions Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed into law Monday weaken the 55-year-old California Environmental Quality Act, commonly known as CEQA, which Democrats have long seen as sacrosanct. Home builders and pro-housing groups have fought the law for decades, calling it a major obstacle that has forced years of review and litigation, sometimes killing projects. They accused environmentalists of using the law to tie up projects they oppose. Environmentalists, unions and labor groups have used the law's requirements to force developers to alter their projects — or abandon them entirely.
