Bill Gates filed this week to reveal a bold bet on trash. His purchases of RSG Republic Services stock totalled over $106 million across three days — Aug 10 and 11 — at prices between $214 and $217 per share. Gates, listed as a main shareholder, acquired roughly 494,000 shares in the flurry of filings reported on August 12.
Meanwhile, the APTV Aptiv CEO Kevin Clark filed an open-market buy of $2.5 million on August 11. He paid around $48.89 per share for 51,190 shares. That's notable: CEOs rarely spend their own money in size, and it signals conviction in the auto-parts maker's recovery story.
Also filing this week, PRMB Primo Brands Chairman and CEO Eric Foss bought nearly $2 million in stock on August 10 at around $23.80 per share. Fresh C-suite buying at that level is rarely a coincidence.
On the selling side, a venture backer of CHYM Chime Financial dumped over $50 million across multiple filings in mid-August. DST Global offloaded shares at $32.10 each — a classic early-investor exit after a recent IPO.
GSAT Globalstar's Executive Director Timothy Taylor also sold more than $12 million across two days, filing on August 13.
