Founders Sell, Insiders Buy Overseas

Charles Schwab is cashing out. The founder and co-chairman of SCHW filed disclosures showing he sold over $19.7M worth of shares between July 24 and July 29. His daughter, Director Carolyn Schwab-Pomerantz, filed a separate $2.4M sale the same day. Three insiders selling within one week is a notable cluster for the Westlake, Texas-based brokerage.

AVGO Chief Legal Officer Mark Brazeal also filed two large sales in quick succession. He sold $10M worth of stock on July 10 and $9.5M just two days earlier. Both filings landed within a week. Broadcom shares have been trading above $400, near all-time highs.

Biotech firm LQDA saw heavy selling from board-linked venture fund Canaan VIII and director Stephen Bloch. Together they have filed over $31M in sales since early July. The stock rose sharply this year on pulmonary hypertension drug news, making these exits a signal worth watching.

On the buy side, Swedish bank SHB A drew strong insider conviction. Investment firm Lundbergföretagen and Industrivärden jointly filed purchases totalling over $93M between July 16 and July 21. Deputy Chairman Lars Lundberg also bought $14.4M personally. That level of coordinated buying from board-linked shareholders is rare.
