Insider Trades: Nike Sees More CEO Buys, Aehr Sold on 300% GainSubmitted by Leo Miller. Originally 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’s “Hidden” Company
Insiders are making moves in one top-performing artificial intelligence (AI) stock and two high-profile names that have suffered large drawdowns. That activity includes multiple CEOs buying shares of what is arguably the world’s most recognized name in the apparel industry. Below are the positive and negative signals these trades send to investors. Up Over 300%, Aehr Insiders Increase Sales to $23 MillionAehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR) has been one of the market's hottest stocks in 2026, delivering massive gains. Shares are up more than 300% year-to-date, making Aehr the third-best performing stock in the Russell 3000 Index, which tracks roughly 98% of the U.S. public equity market. The run-up follows a wave of orders for the company’s AI semiconductor testing solutions.
When the SpaceX IPO launches, most investors will already be too late. The real opportunity isn't the IPO itself - it's the infrastructure behind it.

While retail waits for a ticker that doesn't exist yet, early money is moving into this supplier at a fraction of its potential value. See the small-cap stock powering the SpaceX buildout today
As shares surged, insider sales rose sharply. In Q2, insiders sold about $23 million worth of Aehr stock, after insider sales had not exceeded $600,000 in any of the previous three quarters. Importantly, it appears none of these transactions were executed under predetermined 10b5-1 plans; a very small number were attributed to tax payments made upon the vesting of restricted stock units. That pattern strongly suggests the bulk of these sales were discretionary, which is a meaningful negative indicator for Aehr’s near-term outlook. Still, many sellers retained large positions. Notably, Rhea Posedel and Howard Slayen still hold more than 400,000 and about 150,000 shares, respectively. With Aehr having appreciated so rapidly, insiders are locking in gains while still holding significant stakes. Elliott Hill and Tim Cook Make Multi-Million-Dollar Nike BuysAs shares of Nike (NYSE: NKE) have continued to decline, executives are stepping in to increase their exposure. Near the end of 2025, Nike CEO Elliott Hill purchased around $1 million of Nike shares as the stock had fallen roughly 55% over the prior two years. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) CEO Tim Cook—who also sits on Nike’s board—bought about $2.95 million in Nike stock. Those purchases were made at prices between $59 and $61 per share. Since then, Nike has continued to slip, falling more than 25% in 2026. In response, Hill and Cook each spent an additional $1 million on Nike stock in April, buying at prices near $42 per share. Insiders John Rogers Jr. and Robert Swan also bought in April, spending roughly $673,000 combined. Swan joined Hill and Cook in adding to his position since December 2025. These purchases are a positive signal for Nike: Hill, Cook and Swan are showing conviction by increasing their stakes after substantial declines. Still, their prior buys demonstrate that following insider purchases can carry significant short-term risk. Fluor’s Position in NuScale Nears Its EndSmall modular nuclear reactor company NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) has been hit hard over recent months, down more than 65% since the end of October 2025. In its November earnings report, NuScale posted a loss of $1.85 per share versus analyst expectations for an 11-cent loss. That result included a $148.5 million payment to ENTRA1 under a Partnership Milestone Agreement (PMA) to help fund the development of a 6-gigawatt reactor project with the Tennessee Valley Authority. The stock then fell for eight straight days, dropping more than 40%. Fluor (NYSE: FLR) has been reducing its stake in NuScale under a predetermined agreement between the companies; Fluor was NuScale’s primary early financial backer. In April, Fluor sold about $312 million worth of NuScale stock, cutting its position by roughly 66% from 40 million to 13.5 million shares. Fluor’s remaining 13.5 million shares are equal to the size of a single April sale, indicating the company has nearly liquidated its stake. A full exit could remove a technical overhang on SMR, which would be constructive, but it does not guarantee a meaningful recovery for the stock. Analysts Remain Somewhat Optimistic on Nike Amid Earnings DropNike’s steep decline makes it an interesting case going forward. Despite the stock falling sharply after its latest earnings report, Wall Street analysts remain generally positive. The MarketBeat consensus price target for Nike sits near $62, while the average of targets updated after its April earnings is roughly $57. That level still implies a bit more than 20% upside from current prices. |
