On May 29, Monolithic Power Systems fell 3.08% in regular trading, trading at $1580.975/share, with trading volume of approximately $262 million. The stock retreated after a filing on May 28 disclosed a proposed sale of securities, compounding concerns over recent insider selling activity.
Multiple company insiders have reduced their holdings in recent sessions. Notably, Director Michael Hsing sold over 21,000 shares on May 18 at prices ranging from $1,462 to $1,499 per share, totaling approximately $31.7 million. Director Jeff Zhou sold 486 shares on May 26 at $1,680, and Executive Saria Tseng sold 5,000 shares on May 22 at $1,586.43. The concentrated insider disposals have dampened sentiment despite the company's strong Q1 results, which showed adjusted EPS of $5.10 beating expectations and revenue of $804 million rising 26.24% year-over-year.
The stock had rallied over 13% from $1,512 on May 20 to an intraday high near $1,714 on May 27, creating significant technical overhead pressure.
