David C Kuo sold 29,227 shares of APPLIED OPTOELECTRONICS, INC. at $166.53 on 2026-06-12, reducing his holdings by 16.4% to 149,078 shares. The company posted annual revenue growth of 82.8% and a market cap of $13,706,267,031.27, but reported a net loss of $-14,281,000.00 in the latest quarter and remains unprofitable on a full-year basis. At this ticker specifically, Kuo's prior sell on 2026-02-11 was followed by a 90-day return of +275.3%, and his 2026-02-10 sale by a +269.8% 90-day return—both periods the stock rose substantially after the sale, indicating poorly-timed exits from a timing perspective. His current sale occurs as the stock trades at $170.81, representing a -26.9% decline from its 52-week high of $233.67 and a -10.3% move over the prior 30 days, suggesting the insider is liquidating a meaningful portion of his stake into recent weakness while the company operates at a loss despite strong revenue growth.

Kuo David C sold 19,227 shares of AAOI at $173.26 ($3.3M); stock down 26.7% from 52-week high yet up 294.4% in 90 days.

Kuo sold 19,227 shares at $173.26 on 2026-05-19, reducing holdings from 216,597 to 197,370 shares (-8.9%). The current price of $171.33 is 26.7% below the 52-week high of $233.67, yet the stock has gained 294.4% over the past 90 days, suggesting the sale occurred during a steep rally. His prior three sales at AAOI (Feb 10, Feb 11, Mar 19) each showed positive 90-day returns (112.4%, 93.0%, and 59.2% respectively), meaning none of these prior sales preceded stock declines at the 90-day mark. The company remains unprofitable with net income of $-14,281,000.00 on revenue of $151,144,000.00, though annual revenue growth was +82.8%, creating tension between near-term profitability and growth metrics.

Kuo David C sold 29,000 AAOI shares at $100.13 on 2026-03-19; stock now $95.76 as company unprofitable amid 82.8% revenue growth.

David Kuo sold 29,000 shares (26.0% reduction in holdings) at $100.13 during a period of sharp recovery: the stock is up 85.3% over 30 days and 135.6% over 90 days from its 52-week low of $10.05. At the time of the sale, the transaction price of $100.13 was within 21% of the 52-week high of $127.01. Applied Optoelectronics posted $118.6M in latest quarterly revenue with 82.8% annual growth, yet remains deeply unprofitable with $-17.9M net income and a negative full-year result. Kuo's prior two sales at AAOI (on 2026-02-11 and 2026-02-10) each showed strong subsequent 30-day gains of 93.0% and 112.4% respectively, suggesting these were not well-timed at the 90-day mark. The current sale followed on closely after these earlier dispositions within a volatile recovery window.

Kuo sold 20,000 shares (15.2% of holdings) at $50.15 avg; stock up 131.5% in 90 days, now at $48.40 vs 52-week high $48.49

Kuo David C executed 2 separate sales totaling 20,000 shares for $1,002,905.07, reducing his position from 131,663 shares to 111,663 shares. The sales occurred at $50.00 and $50.17 on consecutive trading days (2026-02-10 and 2026-02-11), near the stock's 52-week high of $48.49—notably at prices above the current level of $48.40. The 90-day rally of 131.5% and 30-day gain of 43.5% provide context for the timing. However, the company remains unprofitable with net income of $-17.9M against quarterly revenue of $118.6M, despite annual revenue growth of 14.6%, creating tension between strong price momentum and underlying operating losses that warrant investor scrutiny.
