Oracle CEO Safra Catz Tops Insider Stock Sales With $2.5 Billion in 2025

Oracle CEO Safra Catz has become the top insider stock seller in the U.S. for 2025, selling $2.5 billion worth of shares in the first half of the year, with $1.83 billion sold in the second quarter alone. Her sales, executed under a pre-arranged trading plan, surpass those of Jeff Bezos and other tech executives, and have increased her net worth to $4 billion. These sales coincided with a market rebound after trade-related volatility and come amid mixed analyst opinions on Oracle's stock, which has an average price target near $228 but a GuruFocus estimated fair value significantly lower at $152. Despite the large insider selling, Oracle's shares have remained resilient, supported by growth in cloud computing and strategic acquisitions. Other notable insider sales in 2025 include Dell CEO Michael Dell, but overall insider trading volume has declined compared to the previous year. Catz's moves are viewed as strategic and indicative of market timing rather than emotional decisions, drawing close attention from investors and analysts.
