48d ago

Officer Yeh Shu-Hua sold $6.8M worth of AAOI shares at $173.26, reducing their stake by 7.8% from a price 25.9% below the 90-day high. This first-time sale of a large, concentrated position is a bearish signal, though the lack of a supporting insider cluster and the stock's position below its recent peak tempers its severity.

48d ago

Officer Chang Hung-Lun sold $5.8M worth of AAOI shares at $173.26, reducing his stake by 7.9% from a position 25.9% below the stock's 90-day high. This first-ever open-market sale by an officer is a notable liquidity event, though the lack of a supporting seller cluster and a prevailing BUY analyst consensus tempers its bearish signal. Bull case requires holding above the 30-day low of $132.63; a break below that level could validate the insider's caution.

Where it could go — No similar AAOI signal history; broad base rate unavailable. Bull holds $132.63, bear breaks it.

Murry Stefan sells $638K of AAOI shares in first open-market transaction
54d ago

CFO Murry Stefan J. executed a Code-S open-market sale of 4,000 AAOI shares at $159.53 for $638K, reducing his stake by 1.5% while maintaining 266,126 shares. This represents his first-ever Form 4 filing and first open-market transaction as an officer of the company. The sale occurred at a price 16.9% below the 90-day high of $191.87, with analyst consensus remaining at Buy.

Where it could go — If this first-time officer sale pattern holds historically, the bear case requires AAOI to break below the $132.63 30-day low; analyst consensus Buy rating suggests potential support at current levels.
