A flurry of insider filings this week revealed sharp contrasts — aggressive buying at one small-cap food company and heavy selling at a recently IPO'd software firm.
The boldest buy came at AVO. GlobalHarvest Holdings, a 10% owner of Mission Produce, filed on July 8–9 disclosing it spent nearly $24M across three consecutive days buying shares at $12.73–$13.42. That follows a late-June purchase by independent director Bruce Taylor, who had already put in over $4.3M. Total insider buying at Mission Produce now exceeds $29M in roughly three weeks — a rare display of conviction from multiple insiders in a small-cap produce company.
On the selling side, TTAN, the field service software company ServiceTitan, saw venture backer Bessemer Venture Partners dump over $75M in shares across filings reported between June 24 and July 8. Prices ranged from $63 to $80, suggesting consistent selling into strength after the stock's post-IPO gains.
Billionaire Carlos Slim continued trimming his stake in refiner PBF. New filings this week showed he sold another $9.8M worth of shares, adding to prior filings that put his total sales above $47M since late June.
At luxury furniture retailer RH, CEO Gary Friedman filed on July 8, disclosing he sold nearly $6.6M in shares on July 6 — even as another insider was buying. That mixed signal is worth watching.
