Fresh filings this week reveal a wave of insider selling — with one notable exception in the offshore drilling sector.
BORR Drilling Chairman and Founder Tor Olav Troim bought 1.5 million shares on August 13. The filing came in on August 14. He paid roughly $4.02 per share, spending just over $6 million in a single day. That is a clear vote of confidence from the man who built the company.
The bullish move stands in contrast to heavy selling elsewhere.
AUR Aurora Innovation's board director Michelangelo Volpi filed disclosures showing he sold nearly $10 million worth of shares on August 11. Venture backer Index Ventures filed identical sell orders on the same dates — a cluster of coordinated exits. Aurora's autonomous trucking stock has rallied sharply in recent months, making this a likely profit-taking move.
At KNX Knight-Swift Transportation, Director Reid Dove filed sales of over $12.3 million across two consecutive days — August 12 and 13. That is a notable exit by a board member in the trucking sector.
MRK Merck General Counsel Jennifer Zachary filed a sale of on August 12. The trade covered 80,315 shares at around $133 each.
Meanwhile at CHYM Chime Financial, venture backer DST Global filed sales worth over $15 million, continuing post-IPO lock-up exits from early investors.
The dominant theme this week: executives and early investors are locking in gains. Borr Drilling's chairman bucking that trend stands out.
