AAOI APPLIED OPTOELECTRONICS, INC.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Two AAOI insiders (Director Chen Min-Chu and executive Yeh Shu-Hua) sold shares worth $2.68M in a concentrated 3-day window at prices near $201-$205. The insider selling is modest relative to AAOI's $14.2B market cap (~0.02%), well below the 0.1% threshold for materiality. Several amplifier cross-filing signals fire, but the tiny dollar value prevents escalation. The cluster appears routine — Chen's sale predates Yeh's, both are C-suite/director level, but the $2.68M total is noise on a multi-billion-dollar company.
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
Insider selling at this magnitude is routine and non-informative. No bearish signal — the dollar amount is too small relative to market cap. Monitor the next 10-Q for any guidance shift or segment trends, but this cluster does not warrant a trade action. All amplifier cross-filing signals are statistically significant but apply to selling-only clusters only when dollar value exceeds 0.1% of market cap; at 0.02%, the cluster is a non-event.
