Bill Gates filed this week that he spent $186 million buying shares of RSG across 14 separate transactions. The purchases ran from August 10 to August 13. Gates snapped up more than 864,000 shares at roughly $215–$216 each. The filings landed on August 12 and 14, making this one of the largest freshly disclosed insider buy clusters in recent memory.
Meanwhile, sellers dominated elsewhere. A board member at TWLO — Twilio — filed a $123.5 million sale on August 12 itself. Andrew Stafman, a hedge fund representative on the board, sold 500,000 shares at $247. That is a clean exit at what appears to be a multi-year high for the stock.
MDLN — Medline Inc. — also saw heavy insider selling. Singapore's GIC Private Ltd, a 10% owner, filed four separate sell transactions totalling over $101 million between August 5 and 7. The sales ranged from $35.33 to $36.48 per share.
Across the Atlantic, the Persson family filed a $30 million buy in HM B on August 17. Stefan Persson acquired 1.65 million shares at 175 SEK each. The Persson family controls H&M and such open-market buys signal confidence in the retailer's direction.
The split is notable. Gates and Europe's controlling families are buying. US-listed institutional insiders and board members are selling into strength.
