Several C-suite leaders filed large stock sales this week. The data reveals a split: most executives sold, while one billionaire quietly bought.
RSG Republic Services attracted attention after filings showed Bill Gates spent over $81M buying shares across two days. He picked up 211,771 shares on August 11 and another 166,095 the day before. The waste management giant is one of his long-running conviction plays.
On the selling side, EHC Encompass Health CEO Mark Tarr filed a $21.5M sale on August 11. He sold 171,569 shares at $125.46 each. Three insiders at the rehabilitation hospital chain filed disclosures this week.
JNJ Johnson & Johnson CEO Joaquin Duato filed a $10.8M sale on August 7. He sold around 42,000 shares at $258 apiece.

MLI Mueller Industries Chairman and CEO Gregory Christopher filed a $13.7M sale on August 12. He unloaded 200,000 shares at $68.44.
TWLO Twilio saw a board-level hedge fund representative file a $123.5M block sale on August 12 — 500,000 shares at $247.08 each.
