<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>
<p>Despite the selling pressure, NVIDIA’s year-to-date stock return remains impressive at 155.62%, significantly outpacing the S&amp;P 500’s 14.57% gain. Analyst consensus on NVIDIA remains a Strong Buy, with price targets ranging from $47.84 to $200.00 per share.</p>
<h3 id="packaging-corp-of-america-rises-on-positive-outlook">Packaging Corp. of America Rises on Positive Outlook</h3>
