QuantumScape extended its losing streak to a fourth straight day on Tuesday, dropping 10.11 percent to close at $7.91 apiece as investors reacted to an insider selling spree in the previous trading sessions.

In separate regulatory filings earlier this week, QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE:QS) revealed that five top executives, including chief executive officer Siva Sivaram, disposed of a significant chunk of their shares in the company.

Last Monday alone, Sivaram unloaded 100,178 shares for a total of $904,607, while Chief Legal Officer Michael McCarthy sold 45,371 shares for a total of $409,700.
