A March 27 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealed that the biggest Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) stock insider sale on record was executed two days earlier on March 25.

According to the document, the company’s co-founder and Director, Henry Samueli, dumped 781,967 AVGO shares at an average price of $319.71, raising just over $250 million.

Although the sale came amidst a protracted downturn for Broadcom stock, its timing was nonetheless interesting since it took place just before the equity suffered a sharp, 7.15% two-session drop.

Indeed, had Samueli waited for the market’s close on Friday last week, he would have earned $235 million from the sale: $15 million less than the amount actually raised.

Specifically, by Friday, the average share price would have been closer to $300.68 – the most recent closing value – considering AVGO stock declined 4.93% during the most recent week of regular trading.

Top 4 biggest AVGO stock insider sales made by same person

Along with being curious for its timing, the March 25 Broadcom stock sale is also interesting for its scale. At $250 million, Henry Samueli’s corporate insider trade is approximately twice as large as the other biggest recorded executive sales.

Additionally, the next three largest AVGO selloffs were executed by the same person.

Indeed, on December 9, 2025, the co-founder and director raised $128 million, on September 26 of the same year, he made another $124 million, and on June 27, Samulei sold AVGO equity worth $125 million.

Wall Street sets Broadcom stock price target for next 12 months

While Broadcom stock’s performance in 2026 – AVGO shares are down 13.50% year-to-date (YTD) – might indicate that Henry Samueli is attempting to raise funds before a deeper retracement, institutional attitudes toward the company appear to contradict such a notion.

Despite the struggles evident in the first quarter (Q1) of the current year, Wall Street considers the technology giant a ‘Strong Buy’ overall and, on average, expects a 56.89% upside to $471.74 in the coming 12 months.

The vast majority of rating revisions made during March have also been bullish, and the only recent outlier – D.A. Davidson’s Gil Luria – was also neutral and not bearish when he ranked the company as a ‘Hold’ and raised the price forecast from $335 to $375.
