Nvidia board member pockets over $50M in stock sale

As Nvidia’s share price continues its surge, longtime board member Mark Stevens and others are cashing in on the chipmaker’s 195% increase this year.

A longtime Nvidia board member is cashing in on the success of the chipmaker’s stock this year, which pushed the value of the company to over $1 trillion, selling more than 100,000 shares worth more than $50 million, according to a regulatory filing.

Mark Stevens, who’s been on the company’s board since 2008, joins a pair of other Nvidia directors benefiting from the steep rise in share value of nearly 200%. According to the Wednesday filing with the SEC, Stevens unloaded 118,602 shares of Nvidia over recent trading sessions.

At a price range between $429.90 and $434.20 for the company shares, Stevens took in just over $51 million from the sales. Despite the sale, Stevens still owns over one million shares of Nvidia in a trust he shares with his wife, along with 1.98 million shares in another trust and 1.29 million shares he owns directly.

Meanwhile, FactSet listed Stevens as the second-largest stakeholder investor in Nvidia before his recent sell. Jensen Huang, the company’s co-founder and chief executive, remains the company’s largest shareholder.
