Insights
Pre‑planned sales of 300K NVIDIA shares offset by a sizable RSU grant.
Ajay K. Puri, EVP of Worldwide Field Operations at NVIDIA, reported net sales of 300,000 shares of common stock through a revocable trust, alongside a grant of 47,048 RSUs. The sales were executed in the open market at weighted average prices around $182–$183 per share.
The filing notes these dispositions were made under a pre‑arranged Rule 10b5‑1 trading plan, indicating they were scheduled in advance rather than timed opportunistically. Following the last reported sale, the revocable trust still held 3,318,547 shares, and Puri held 706,777 shares directly after the RSU award, suggesting a substantial remaining exposure.
The RSU grant, received for no cash consideration, vests 6.25% on June 17, 2026 and 6.25% every three months thereafter until roughly four years from grant. Future company filings will show how much of these RSUs ultimately vest and whether additional pre‑planned sales occur.
