<p>NVIDIA stock is down 5.83% to $119.19, despite recently becoming the world’s most valuable company before slipping back to second place. The decline comes amid <a href="https://tokenist.com/nvidia-nvda-insiders-are-selling-a-sign-the-stock-has-hit-its-top/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">significant insider selling activity</a>, with CEO Jensen Huang selling 240,000 shares for approximately $31.6 million on June 20, and other executives and directors also offloading substantial holdings.</p>
