Bill Gates filed purchases this week totaling over $100M in RSG Republic Services. Three separate buys hit on August 10–11. Gates paid between $214 and $216 per share across 465,000 shares. The waste management giant rarely draws this kind of high-profile attention from individual insiders.
On the selling side, TWLO Twilio saw a board-linked hedge fund exit $123.5M worth of stock on August 12 at $247 per share. That filing landed the same day the trade occurred — a rare same-day disclosure.
ILMN Illumina also drew notice. Board member Keith Meister filed $70M in sales across two days — August 4 and 5 — at prices near $198–$203. Meister sits on the board through an asset management firm, suggesting institutional-level pressure to reduce exposure.
EHC Encompass Health CEO Mark Tarr filed a $21.5M sale on August 11. He sold 171,569 shares at $125.46. C-suite disposals of this size often signal price targets have been met internally.
CHYM Chime Financial, the fintech that recently went public, saw early backer DST Global file multiple sell transactions totaling roughly on August 13. Post-IPO VC exits are common but the pace here is notable.
The clearest contrarian signal remains Gates steadily accumulating RSG, a defensive, cash-generating business, while tech and healthcare insiders trim gains.
