Significance 6/10

CEO Soroush Salehian Dardashti sold 275,349 shares for $6,764,660.15 via 10b5-1 plan on 2026-06-16

Soroush Salehian Dardashti, Chief Executive Officer of AEVA, executed 8 separate sales totaling 275,349 shares (275.3K shares) for $6,764,660.15 ($6.8M) at prices ranging from $24.34 to $27.09, reducing his holdings from 1,746,157 shares (1.75M shares) to 1,470,808 shares (1.47M shares), a net reduction of 15.8%. The transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, indicating these sales were scheduled rather than discretionary decisions made in response to current conditions. The company is unprofitable with net income of $-34,979,000.00 ($-35.0M) over its most recent full fiscal year, though revenue has grown 99.4% year-over-year. At the transaction prices, the stock was near its 52-week midpoint; current price of $23.49 now reflects a -39.5% decline from the 52-week high of $38.80. His cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +20.8% following prior sales, though at AEVA specifically, post-sale outcomes have been mixed—the May 2026 sale showed 30-day gains of +62.2%, while the January 2026 sale resulted in 90-day losses of -30.8%.

41,083 shares
$617,962
Significance 5/10

CEO Soroush Salehian sold 41,083 shares worth ~$618K; stock down sharply from highs, company unprofitable with heavy near-term losses.

CEO Soroush Salehian sold a substantial block of shares as AEVA's stock trades significantly below its year-high and the company continues to burn cash with large quarterly losses despite strong revenue growth. This is the CEO's third sale in four months, continuing a consistent pattern of dispositions. Historically, Salehian's prior sales have shown a mixed near-term picture—some resulted in further stock declines while others saw recoveries—but over longer horizons all five of his prior exits were well-timed, with the stock falling after each sale. The current sale occurs as the stock has recovered from recent lows but remains deeply underwater from its prior peaks, giving the CEO a relatively elevated price point compared to where AEVA traded in recent weeks. For a company burning over $120M per quarter despite nearly $12.5M in recent revenue, the CEO's continued disposition activity suggests caution about near-term value, though the pattern of prior sales eventually being validated by stock declines leaves room for interpretation.

Significance 7/10

CEO Dardashti sold 64,787 shares of AEVA at $18.85 on 2026-01-09, reducing stake by -28.3%; stock now at $19.90, off -47.3% from 52-week high.

Soroush Salehian, CEO of Aeva Technologies, sold 64,787 shares at $18.85, reducing his holdings by -28.3% in a material transaction valued at $1,221,390.44. This represents his fifth sale at AEVA in recent weeks, following four prior sales in early January and November 2025, indicating a consistent pattern of share liquidation by the company's chief executive. The stock currently trades at $19.90, reflecting a -47.3% drawdown from its 52-week high of $37.79, though it has rallied +24.3% over the past 30 days from depressed levels. AEVA's fundamentals show revenue of $3,579,000.00 for the latest quarter and reported net income of $107,495,000.00, but the company remained unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, highlighting a gap between recent quarterly performance and underlying profitability trends.

488,160 shares
$6,324,796
Significance 6/10

CEO Dardashti sold 488,160 shares at $12.96 for $6.3M, reducing stake 21.0% amid -65.4% decline from 52-week high.

Dardashti Soroush Salehian executed 2 separate sales totaling 488,160 shares for $6,324,796.22 at $12.96 per share on 2026-01-02, reducing his holdings from 2,319,359 shares to 1,831,199 shares. The sale occurs as AEVA trades at $13.09, down 65.4% from its 52-week high of $37.79 and down 11.0% over the prior 30 days, suggesting a strategic liquidation during a period of sustained stock weakness. His cross-ticker track record shows a 75.00% well-timed sell rate with an average 90-day return of +20.5%, but at AEVA specifically, his 2 prior sales with 90-day outcomes were both well-timed (negative 90-day returns of -18.9% and -15.9%), indicating consistent pattern recognition at this ticker. However, the company posted unprofitable full-year results despite +110.2% revenue growth and $107.5M net income in the latest quarter, creating fundamental ambiguity about the outlook that complicates interpretation of the CEO's motivation.

Significance 7/10

CEO Dardashti sells 250,000 shares (11.7% of holdings) at $13.45 avg on 2025-11-10; stock -64.0% from 52-week high

Dardashti Soroush Salehian, CEO of AEVA, executed 2 separate sales totaling 250,000 shares for $3,362,281.58, reducing his stake from 2,134,808 to 1,884,808 shares. The sales occurred at blended average price of $13.45, well above the current price of $13.60 but significantly depressed relative to the 52-week high of $37.79 (down -64.0%). His prior sales at AEVA show mixed timing: 2 of 2 measurable sales at the 90-day horizon were well-timed (stock fell after), yet earlier in November 2025 he executed a sale on 2025-11-05 (outcome not yet measurable). The company reported +110.2% annual revenue growth but remains unprofitable on a full-year basis, with latest-quarter revenue of $3,579,000.00 against $107,495,000.00 in quarterly net income—a sign of volatile or one-time items rather than sustainable profitability. The 30-day price decline of -12.9% and sales frequency suggest Dardashti is actively managing his exposure in a stock well below its recent range.

Significance 6/10

AEVA CEO Dardashti sells 39,702 shares at $13.64; stock down 19.3% in 30 days, -63.5% from 52-week high.

CEO Dardashti sold 39,702 shares (39.7K shares) at $13.64 on 2025-11-05, reducing his position from 2,133,157 shares (2.13M shares) to 2,093,455 shares (2.09M shares), a modest -1.9% reduction. The timing occurs after significant recent weakness: the stock is down 19.3% over the last 30 days and -63.5% from its 52-week high of $37.79. His prior trades at AEVA show mixed results at the 90-day horizon—two prior sells returned -54.9% and -46.4% respectively, while others returned -15.4% and -29.6%—though 3 of 3 prior measurable 90-day outcomes were well-timed (stock fell after the sale). AEVA remains unprofitable with net income of $-192.7M in the latest full fiscal year, though revenue grew 110.2% year-over-year to $5.5M in the most recent quarter. The CEO's cross-ticker track record shows a 71.43% well-timed rate on 16 prior sells, but his same-ticker history at AEVA is more volatile and provides limited high-conviction evidence for this specific trade.

Significance 6/10

CEO Dardashti sells 200,000 shares (200.0K) at blended $13.45; stock down -63.5% from 52-week high, company unprofitable.

Dardashti Soroush Salehian, CEO of AEVA, executed 2 separate sales totaling 200,000 shares for $2,689,806.34 at blended average price $13.45 on 2025-08-13. The timing coincides with significant downward price pressure: AEVA is -63.5% from its 52-week high and -48.4% over the past 30 days. Fundamentally, the company reported quarterly revenue of $5,511,000.00 and net income of $-192,742,000.00, with an unprofitable full fiscal year, despite strong annual revenue growth of +110.2%. His same-ticker history shows 5 prior AEVA sells, with mixed 30-day outcomes (ranging from -54.9% to +78.4%) and no measurable 90-day results yet. Post-transaction, Dardashti retains 2,134,808 shares, down 8.6% from pre-transaction holdings of 2,334,808 shares. The sale occurs during a period of severe stock deterioration and substantial accumulated losses, warranting investor attention to underlying operational challenges and management sentiment.

Significance 6/10

CEO Dardashti sold 69,901 shares ($2.1M) at $30.53; stock now $30.92, up 42.0% in 30 days and +311.7% in 90 days.

Dardashti Soroush Salehian, as Chief Executive Officer, sold 69,901 shares on 2025-07-07, reducing his stake by 3.6% to 1,897,862 shares. The stock has appreciated significantly since the sale (up 42.0% over 30 days and 311.7% over 90 days at current $30.92 price versus the $30.53 transaction price), indicating the timing of this sale was poorly timed relative to immediate follow-on price momentum. Notably, his prior sales at AEVA have also been poorly timed—0 of 1 measurable historical sell at this ticker showed a decline following the sale (the 2025-03-26 sale was followed by a 90-day return of +459.4%). His cross-ticker track record shows a 55.56% well-timed rate on sells, yet at AEVA specifically, recent sales (five in total since March) have all been followed by stock appreciation, suggesting his sales at this ticker have not preceded declines. The company is unprofitable (net income $-34.9M latest fiscal year) despite strong revenue growth (+110.2% annual growth), which contextualizes the recent volatility and may factor into executive liquidity decisions.

Significance 6/10

CEO Soroush Salehian sold 250,000 shares at blended $15.70 for $3.9M; holds 3.51M shares post-sale.

Dardashti Soroush Salehian, CEO of AEVA, executed 4 separate sales totaling 250,000 shares for $3,924,658.87 on 2025-05-19 at prices ranging from $15.48 to $18.61. The company is unprofitable (net income $-34,867,000.00) despite strong annual revenue growth of +110.2%. At his prior AEVA sales, 2 of 4 were well-timed at the 90-day mark (stock declined after), while his cross-ticker track record shows a 62.50% well-timed rate on 9 prior sells. The stock has gained +113.7% over 30 days and +268.3% over 90 days from the trade date, moving away from the current price of $15.58. This concentrated open-market sale by the CEO of a currently unprofitable company with rapidly appreciating valuation warrants investor attention to fundamental performance trends and capital allocation intent.

$1,071,580
Significance 5/10

CEO Dardashti sold 200.0K shares at $5.36; stock now at $5.80 after 51.8% 30-day rally.

Dardashti Soroush Salehian, Chief Executive Officer, sold 200,000 shares (200.0K shares) at $5.36 on 2025-03-26, reducing his stake from 3,964,808 to 3,764,808 shares (-5.0% of pre-transaction holdings) and raising $1,071,580.00. The sale occurred during a sharp 30-day rally (+51.8%) that continued to $5.80 (current price, within 0.0% of the 52-week high). His cross-ticker track record shows 62.50% well-timed selling (a 90-day metric favoring insider sales that precede declines), but at AEVA specifically, only 2 of 5 prior sells were well-timed on the 90-day measure. The company remains unprofitable (net income $-37.4M in latest full year), though annual revenue growth accelerated at +110.2%. The sale's significance is tempered by the transaction price being 7.6% below current market value, the insider's continued large stake (3.76M shares), and mixed timing results on this specific ticker.
