AI Insider Selling: Sales Hit Photronics, Credo & CoreWeave as Shares Spike

Author: Leo Miller. Originally Published: 4/27/2026.

Insiders are making moves in three soaring artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, selling millions of dollars’ worth of shares. However, determining which of these sales clearly signal negative sentiment for investors—and which do not—requires a closer look. Here’s what recent insider trades are signaling.

Photronics’ Insider Sales Rise Alongside Shares

First up is a name that garnered significant attention near the end of 2025: Photronics (NASDAQ: PLAB). Photronics sells photomasks, which are key components in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The stock saw an over 45% single-day spike in December, driven by an impressive earnings report and the announcement of significant capital expenditures, both of which pointed to strong demand ahead. Photronics has continued to surge in 2026, and it is already up more than 50% for the year.

However, as shares have climbed, Photronics has also seen a fair amount of insider selling in Q2. Overall, MarketBeat has tracked $14 million worth of selling during the quarter, a significant increase from just $3.44 million in Q1.

Notably, none of these sales came under a predetermined 10b5-1 plan, indicating that they were discretionary in nature. Furthermore, many represented a significant portion of each insider’s holdings. For example, insiders Hsueh-Chun Wang and Rui Zhang each reduced their holdings by 20% or more.

Given the strong appreciation in Photronics shares, these sales are a moderately bearish signal for the stock. Still, most insiders continue to hold large stakes in the company, suggesting they remain reasonably confident about the outlook.

Credo Insiders Sell as Shares Hit New Highs

Next up is Credo Technology Group (NASDAQ: CRDO), an AI stock that has experienced significant volatility in recent months. The stock rose to nearly $190 in early December 2025 before falling to less than $100 by early March 2026. Within two months, Credo staged a sharp recovery, rising above $190. In late April, Credo reached all-time highs near $195. Much of this enthusiasm stems from Credo agreeing to acquire DustPhotonics, which adds more optical networking products to its primarily copper-based lineup.

As Credo shares surge to unprecedented levels, insiders are capitalizing by selling around $21 million worth of shares in Q2. Still, with less than a month elapsed in the quarter, this pace is largely consistent with Q1 selling. Over the full three months, sales totaled nearly $53 million.

Additionally, the majority of Q2 sales came under 10b5-1 plans or were relatively small relative to individual holdings, making them less concerning. For example, despite making multiple sales, Chi Fung Cheng lowered total shares held by less than 2% and still owns over 6 million Credo shares.

Given these mitigating factors, Credo’s Q2 sales do not send a strong negative signal.

CoreWeave’s Insider Sales Rise by More Than 3X in Q2

Last up is one of the AI trade’s most well-known newcomers, neo-cloud company CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV). CoreWeave has also been a highly volatile stock since going public in March 2025. The stock moved up to over $180 in June 2025 before ending the year near $70. CoreWeave has seen a huge recovery in 2026, up almost 50% to around $107 per share.

Throughout its publicly traded history, CoreWeave has seen a very large amount of insider selling, totaling $6.55 billion. After a big drop in selling during Q1, insiders are stepping up their sales again. In April alone, MarketBeat has tracked more than $1.3 billion in sales, more than three times higher than the $396 million in sales that took place in all of Q1.

Importantly, many of CoreWeave’s sales came under 10b5-1 plans or had other mitigating factors. However, that is not true of one of CoreWeave’s largest insiders, hedge fund Magnetar Financial. Magnetar has sold hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of CoreWeave shares in Q2. Despite those large sales, Magnetar continues to indirectly hold billions of dollars’ worth of CoreWeave. Clearly, insiders are selling more as CoreWeave rises, which is a negative signal.

CoreWeave: Insiders Sell, Analysts Disagree

Among this group, CoreWeave’s insider selling activity is the most noteworthy. Despite the recent sales, the huge value of trades tied to CoreWeave remains a significant technical overhang on the stock. Magnetar has shown a consistent pattern of selling its shares, and the firm still has massive exposure to CoreWeave. As a result, the overhang is unlikely to ease soon.

Still, Wall Street analysts continue to take a generally bullish view on the stock. The MarketBeat consensus price target near $125 implies more than 15% upside in shares. The range of targets on CoreWeave is very wide. Targets updated in April stretch as high as $175 and as low as $67. These figures imply upside of more than 60% and downside of more than 35%, respectively, illustrating the large degree of uncertainty surrounding this name.
