Three fresh filings stand out in this week's insider trading data, with two CEOs selling and one major holder quietly accumulating.
Applied Materials CEO dumps $55.5M. AMAT CEO Gary Dickerson filed sales totalling $55.5 million across four trades on June 29–30. The filings hit the SEC on July 1. Dickerson holds the President and CEO title. At that scale, the move is hard to dismiss as routine tax planning.
Carlos Slim exits PBF Energy. Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim filed six separate sales of PBF shares this week. Combined, he offloaded $58.7 million worth of stock between June 29 and July 6. Slim holds more than 10% of the refiner. Selling at this pace across multiple days suggests a deliberate reduction of exposure to the energy name.
Mission Produce backer snaps up $24M. Against the selling tide, major shareholder GlobalHarvest Holdings filed three purchases in AVO between July 6 and 8. Total outlay was $24.1 million across 1.83 million shares at prices from $12.73 to $13.42. That kind of repeated buying over three consecutive sessions signals strong conviction in the avocado distributor.
RH CEO Gary Friedman also filed a $6.6 million sale on July 6, while an independent director filed buys worth roughly $1.8 million on the same company — an unusual split signal worth watching.
