Huge names across the technology and energy sectors are seeing significant insider selling. But do these moves provide meaningful bearish signals for investors, or is there more going on beneath the surface? CRWV Insiders Continue Dumping Shares, But Pace Moderates Drastically First up is artificial intelligence (AI) neo-cloud company CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV). Since going public almost a year ago, CoreWeave has been a strong performer. Compared with its $40 IPO price, the stock roughly doubled, but shares have come under heavy pressure since the second half of 2025 and are more than 50% below their all-time high. A $1.5 trillion valuation. That is what industry experts are projecting for the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO, expected to be announced on April 20th — potentially surpassing the combined market caps of the six largest U.S. defense contractors. Consider what Tesla's IPO meant for early investors: a $50,000 position held for 10 years grew to $1.5 million. The SpaceX IPO is projected to be even larger. Before April 20th, there is still a backdoor way to secure a pre-IPO stake in SpaceX. Here is how to get positioned. Claim Your Pre-IPO Position A broader sell-off in high-flying stocks has played a role in the decline, and investors are weighing growth versus profitability. Revenues spiked 168% last quarter, yet CoreWeave also reported its lowest adjusted EBITDA margin since going public, at roughly 57%. Insider selling has been another headline. Since the IPO, MarketBeat has tracked over $5 billion in CRWV insider selling. Most of that volume occurred in 2025, but about $300 million of insider sales in 2026 remains material. Importantly, many of the 2026 sales were executed under predetermined 105b-1 plans, which suggests those insiders were not necessarily selling in reaction to recent company developments. Large insider selling nevertheless puts downward pressure on shares and acts as an overhang. Still, selling in Q1 2026 was about 87% lower than the $2.3 billion recorded in Q4 2025, which is a constructive sign. Private Equity Continues Offloading DELL Shares Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) is a less flashy AI beneficiary than CoreWeave, but it has posted impressive gains. Over the past 52 weeks, Dell's total return has exceeded 60%. In 2025 (Dell's fiscal 2026), the company reported revenue growth of 19%, its strongest since fiscal 2018. Management expects growth to accelerate to 23% this year, supported by an AI-optimized server backlog of over $34 billion. With that backlog and additional orders, Dell projects AI-related revenue to double to $50 billion this year. Still, Dell has been the subject of large insider sales, largely from private equity investor Silver Lake Technology Associates. Silver Lake sold more than $900 million of Dell stock in 2025 and has sold about $150 million so far in 2026. That timing aligns with the normal cadence of private equity funds, which often liquidate investments roughly 10 to 12 years after initiation—Silver Lake first invested in Dell in 2013. Because of that, Silver Lake's sales are less concerning than they might appear. Silver Lake may simply be following its expected exit timeline rather than signaling a lack of confidence in Dell's outlook. Nevertheless, it still holds a large position, and its ongoing sales create an overhang on the stock. FANG Sees Almost $200 Million of Insider Selling as Oil Prices Explode Finally, oil explorer and producer Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ: FANG) has been a strong performer, delivering a total return north of 25% over the past 52 weeks. The surge in oil prices—West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures are up roughly 70% in 2026—has been a major tailwind, helping FANG gain more than 20% year-to-date. As oil prices have spiked, insider selling at Diamondback has picked up. So far in 2026, MarketBeat has tracked over $190 million in insider selling, compared with just $52 million in all of 2025. Most of that recent selling was not executed under predetermined 105b-1 plans. On closer inspection, however, much of FANG's 2026 selling looks less worrying. About $163 million of the sales came from SGF FANG Holdings, LP, and rather than dumping those shares on the open market, SGF sold them back to Diamondback. In effect, Diamondback repurchased a significant number of shares. Although large insider sales are typically viewed as bearish, the company buyback offsets much of that concern. SGF's sale reduced its Diamondback stake by only about 2%. CRWV's Insider Sales Abate for Now Overall, the insider selling tied to CRWV, DELL and FANG comes with important mitigating factors that temper the bearish signal. CoreWeave's heavy selling has moderated substantially and much of it was executed under predetermined plans. Silver Lake's Dell sales largely reflect a private equity exit timeline rather than a company-specific warning. And Diamondback's largest seller transferred shares back to the company, effectively resulting in a repurchase. That said, insider selling can still weigh on a stock's performance, and whether CoreWeave's sales remain below the elevated 2025 levels is uncertain. Investors should watch future insider activity alongside fundamentals and company actions when assessing these names. |
