A single ILMN board member filed a wave of sales this week. Keith Meister, whose asset management firm holds a board seat at Illumina, disclosed over $130 million in sales across August 4–5. He sold at prices between $198 and $203 per share across multiple transactions filed on August 6.
The scale and speed of the selling stand out. Meister unloaded shares in at least eight separate transactions over two days. That kind of cluster signals a deliberate exit, not routine tax planning.
Not all the news is bearish. BSX CEO Michael Mahoney filed a $9 million purchase of Boston Scientific shares on August 5. He bought 186,240 shares at roughly $48.33 each. CEO open-market purchases of this size are rare. They tend to signal genuine confidence in the company's near-term outlook.
LTH founder and CEO Bahram Akradi filed sales of $19.5 million in Life Time Group shares on August 4. SCHW co-founder Charles Schwab also filed a sale of Charles Schwab Corporation stock. founder and CEO David Overton sold in Cheesecake Factory shares.
At GEF, five executives — including the CEO — filed sales on the same day, suggesting a coordinated post-earnings exit.
