AI, Satellites and Staples: Insiders Are Buying and Selling 3 Big NamesBy Leo Miller. First Published: 4/13/2026. 
Key Points
- The world's biggest name in chip-making just saw an insider purchase
- After shooting to the moon, insiders are taking some gains in this satellite stock
- Insiders are picking up the slack in a slumping food maker
- Special Report: Have $500? Invest in Elon’s AI Masterplan
Insiders are sending signals across top stocks in the artificial intelligence (AI) space and the consumer staples industry. These include purchases at one of the world’s most well-known semiconductor companies and moves at an up-and-down food giant. Meanwhile, insiders are increasing sales at a skyrocketing satellite stock that is seeing strong demand from governments. TSMC Sees Small But Meaningful Insider BuyTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) dominates the AI chip-making space, making it a difficult AI stock to bet against. Even as chip-design names like NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) have stalled in 2026, TSMC continues to climb. Its shares are up more than 20% year to date, while NVIDIA is essentially flat.
Wall St. Insider Warns: This Could Leapfrog Elon's SpaceX IPO
Elon Musk could take SpaceX public in 2026, at an estimated $1.75 trillion valuation. The IPO would include Elon's AI model, Grok. But according to Louis Navellier, a radical new AI model will launch this year… over 1,000 times more powerful than Elon's. And the company behind it could outperform SpaceX in the process.

TSMC isn’t a company investors need bullish insider signals to believe in, but one surfaced recently. In late March, Vice President Tien Bor-Zen purchased 1,000 of TSMC’s Taiwan-listed shares, worth around $56,000. That is small in absolute terms compared with TSMC’s market capitalization above $1.6 trillion. For Bor-Zen, however, the purchase is meaningful. It increases his direct ownership of TSMC’s Taiwan-listed shares from 8,051 to 9,051, a roughly 12% increase in his holdings. While the buy is not large on a company-wide basis, insider purchases of any size tend to be viewed positively. Overall, this move is incrementally bullish but not one investors should overweight. Insiders Sell as Planet Labs CatapultsNext is one of the market’s hottest names: satellite and geospatial imaging company Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL). The stock has exploded higher—up almost 1,000% over the past 52 weeks and more than 70% in 2025—driven in part by strong demand from government, defense and intelligence agencies that use Planet Labs' imagery and software to monitor projects and movements. Given the stock’s massive gains, it’s reasonable to ask how long the rally can continue. Those concerns grow when insiders are selling, which happened in April. MarketBeat has tracked approximately $9.6 million in insider sales since the start of the month, compared with $5.9 million in sales during all of Q1 2026. About $2.6 million of those sales came through Robert H. Schinlinger’s predetermined 10b5-1 plan. Sales executed under 10b5-1 plans are often not considered bearish because they are scheduled in advance. By contrast, Chief Financial Officer Ashley F. Johnson sold $7.02 million of shares not under a 10b5-1 plan. Given Planet Labs' outsized gains, that sale is a moderately bearish signal. Lamb Weston Retreats Again After Rebound; Insiders Step InInsiders at potato-product maker Lamb Weston (NYSE: LW) are showing confidence in the company. Lamb Weston plunged nearly 26% to under $44 after releasing its fiscal Q2 2026 earnings report, which beat estimates but did not result in higher guidance. (Lamb Weston’s fiscal calendar is offset from the standard calendar year.) The stock recovered above $50 but has since fallen below $44 again. Insiders appear to be taking advantage of the pullback, purchasing just under $10 million of shares in April at prices between $39 and $41—levels not far below the stock’s recent prices. For the insiders involved, those purchases were fairly significant. Peter J. Benson increased his holdings from about 32,700 shares to 37,700, roughly a 15% rise. Jana Investment Partners raised its stake by about 5%, though from a large base of more than 5 million shares. Taken together, these buys are a bullish signal for the consumer staples stock and suggest insiders view the pullback as a buying opportunity. Updated Targets Continue to Point to Gains in Planet LabsAmong these names, Planet Labs is the most compelling given its role in the rapidly growing satellite industry. The MarketBeat consensus price target of around $30 implied more than 10% downside. However, price targets rose after the company’s latest earnings report; updated targets average $38, which suggests roughly 10% upside over the next 12 months. Given the stock’s volatility, actual gains or losses could be much larger than these targets imply. |
