Insider Trades: Nike Sees More CEO Buys, Aehr Sold on 300% GainReported by Leo Miller. First Published: 4/20/2026. 
Key Points
- Gains keep compounding for AEHR in 2026, and insiders are taking advantage.
- CEO insiders at NKE keep buying as the stock craters.
- The company that helped SMR rise to fame has nearly exited the small nuclear stock.
- Special Report: Elon Musk’s $1 Quadrillion AI IPO
Insiders are making moves in one top-performing artificial intelligence (AI) stock and two high-profile names experiencing massive drawdowns. This includes multiple CEOs buying what is arguably the world’s most recognized name in the apparel industry. See the positive and negative signals these trades provide investors. Up Over 300%, Aehr Insiders Increase Sales to $23 MillionAehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR) has been one of the market's hottest names so far in 2026, delivering massive gains. Shares are up more than 300% on the year, positioning Aehr as the third-best performing stock in the Russell 3000 Index, which tracks roughly 98% of the U.S. public equity market. The stock’s surge has coincided with the company raking in orders for its AI semiconductor testing solutions.
A $2 gold stock is said to quietly control what may be the largest gold deposit in the world - worth nearly $1 trillion.
According to Jim Rickards, an announcement is expected around July 1 that could bring this historic discovery into public view. See the full details on this $2 gold stock before July 1
However, as shares have spiked, insider sales have picked up as well. In Q2, insiders sold about $23 million worth of Aehr stock, after insider sales had not exceeded $600,000 in any of the prior three quarters. Importantly, it appears none of these sales were executed under predetermined 10b5-1 plans; a very small number were attributed to tax payments related to the vesting of restricted stock units. That pattern suggests the vast majority of the sales were discretionary, which is a meaningful negative signal for Aehr’s near-term outlook. Still, many sellers retain sizable stakes. Notably, Rhea Posedel and Howard Slayen continue to hold more than 400,000 and 150,000 shares, respectively. With Aehr having appreciated so rapidly, insiders appear intent on locking in gains while still holding meaningful positions. Elliot Hill and Tim Cook Combine for $2 Million in Nike BuysAs shares of Nike (NYSE: NKE) have tumbled, several executives have been adding to their positions. Near the end of 2025, Nike CEO Elliot Hill purchased about $1 million of Nike shares. Around the same time, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) CEO Tim Cook—who also serves on Nike’s Board of Directors—bought roughly $2.95 million in Nike stock. They bought at prices between $61 and $59 per share. Since those purchases, Nike has continued to slide, falling more than 25% in 2026. In response, Hill and Cook each spent an additional $1 million on Nike stock in April, acquiring shares near $42. Insiders John Rogers Jr. and Robert Swan also bought in during April, spending roughly $673,000 combined. Swan joins Hill and Cook in adding to positions after their initial buys in December 2025. These purchases are a positive sign of insider conviction: Hill, Cook and Swan increased their positions despite prior unrealized losses. Still, the recent history also underscores that following insider buys can carry significant short-term risk. Fluor’s Position in NuScale Nears Its EndSmall-modular reactor company NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) has been hit hard, falling more than 65% since the end of October 2025. In its November earnings report, NuScale posted a $1.85-per-share loss versus analysts’ expectations for an $0.11 loss. That result followed a $148.5 million payment to ENTRA1 under a Partnership Milestone Agreement (PMA) tied to development of a 6-gigawatt reactor project with the Tennessee Valley Authority. The stock subsequently fell for eight straight trading days, dropping more than 40%. Fluor (NYSE: FLR) has been steadily selling down its stake in NuScale under a predetermined agreement; Fluor was NuScale’s primary financial backer in the company’s early stages. During April, Fluor sold about $312 million worth of NuScale stock, trimming its position by roughly 66% from 40 million shares to 13.5 million shares. Fluor’s remaining stake is now nearly equal to the size of a single April sale, meaning a complete exit could occur soon. A full liquidation would remove a technical overhang that has pressured SMR shares, but it does not guarantee a sustained recovery for the stock. Analysts Remain Somewhat Optimistic on Nike Amid Earnings PlungeNike’s steep decline makes the stock an interesting case for investors. Despite a roughly 15% drop shortly after its latest earnings report, Wall Street analysts have largely retained a constructive view. The MarketBeat consensus price target for Nike sits near $62, while the average of targets updated after its April earnings is about $57—still implying a bit more than 20% upside from current levels. |
