In September 2025, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) stock reached an impressive all-time high of $25.11 per share. Just as the stock hit this peak, two top executives — CEO Antonio Neri and a board director — sold significant amounts of their stock, raising eyebrows among investors.
How Much Did They Make?
- CEO Antonio Neri sold 166,666 shares for a total of $4,175,697. Director sold 40,000 shares, earning $1,004,400. Combined, these two executives cashed out $5,180,097.
Why Sell Now?
The key question: Why would HPE’s top brass choose to sell so much stock right when it hits a record high? The answer likely lies in the simple fact that it’s the perfect time to cash out.
When a company’s stock reaches an all-time high, it’s often a signal that the price may not go much higher in the short term. Executives, with a deep understanding of the company’s performance and market conditions, are in a position to realize profits while the stock price is peaking. Cashing out at the top allows them to lock in their gains before potential volatility or a pullback in the market.
What Does This Mean for Investors?
While it may not necessarily be a sign of impending trouble, executives selling stock at its peak could be interpreted as them “taking profits” while the going is good. This may suggest they believe the stock has reached its limit, and they don’t expect it to climb much higher in the near future. For HPE investors, the insider sales raise a critical question: If executives are cashing out now, should they be preparing for a downturn? While it doesn’t guarantee anything, the timing of these moves is worth paying attention to.
