summary
AMD CEO Lisa Su Sells $20 Million in Stock in Unusual Move
AMD Chief Executive Lisa Su raised some eyebrows in the market after selling more than $20 million in stock, a departure from her recent activity. The sale of 125,000 AMD shares last Wednesday at prices ranging from $162.06 to $164.84 was made through a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, designed for executives to prearrange share sales under specific conditions. While Su has previously sold AMD shares, those transactions mostly involved options set to expire within two years. This recent sale marked the first time since 2019 that Su sold non-stock-option shares, according to Ben Silverman, vice president of research at VerityData. An AMD spokesman downplayed the significance of the distinction between stock options and non-option shares, mentioning that the sales were part of Su’s trading plan and she still retains a substantial number of shares. The company defended Su’s actions, stating that she continues to hold about 4 million shares valued around $700 million. Silverman, examining insider activity, noted that Su’s selling pattern could provide insights into valuation views. He highlighted that Su chose to liquidate non-option shares over options set to expire soon, indicating a potentially strategic move rather than a routine sale. Despite owning options on 47,600 shares due to expire in August, Su’s decision to sell non-option shares could be viewed as a more calculated maneuver, attracting attention from market observers. The move contrasts typical insider behavior of selling options nearing expiration, suggesting a different approach by the CEO. Su’s stake in AMD remains significant, and her recent stock sale does not diminish her substantial ownership in the company. The market will be closely monitoring any further transactions by Su to gauge her future outlook on AMD’s performance and valuation. Investors will be keen to see if this shift in selling strategy signals a broader sentiment within the company’s leadership team.
