Nvidia NVDA and Palantir Technologies PLTR saw insiders sell a combined $9.65 billion of stock over the past two years.

Insider selling was sizeable: Nvidia insiders were net sellers of about $3.98 billion and Palantir insiders about $5.67 billion, including a nearly $290 million sale by director Peter Thiel last week.

The moves come as artificial intelligence remains the market’s dominant theme, with consulting firm PwC estimating the global AI addressable market could reach about $15.7 trillion by 2030. Investors have rewarded the two companies: Nvidia has added more than $4.1 trillion in market value since early 2023, while Palantir’s shares have climbed almost 2,300%.

Nvidia’s dominance stems from its data-center graphics processing units, or GPUs, specialized chips that accelerate large-scale computing tasks, which have been in short supply and helped lift gross margins to about 75%. Palantir’s Gotham and Foundry platforms serve government and commercial clients through multi-year contracts and subscriptions, supporting predictable operating cash flow.
