Insiders filed a wave of notable trades this week. Three stories stand out.
CoreCivic under mass exit. Five insiders at CXW filed sales this week totalling over $9M. CFO David Garfinkle sold $1.7M worth of shares on August 17. An EVP sold $4M just days earlier. Directors joined in too. Seven separate insiders filed sales in a single week — a rare and striking cluster.
Magnetar dumps CoreWeave. Hedge fund Magnetar Financial filed disclosures on August 14, revealing it sold over $300M in CRWV stock across August 12–13. The AI cloud computing firm has been a Wall Street darling in 2026. Magnetar's rapid exit across 16 separate transactions suggests it is locking in gains aggressively.
Gates backs Republic Services. Bill Gates filed a $33.9M purchase in RSG on August 14. He bought 157,096 shares at around $215.70 each on August 13. Gates has long held RSG. This fresh filing shows he is adding exposure to the waste management giant.
Comfort Systems CFO sells. Bill George, CFO of FIX, filed a $4.7M sale on August 18. The trade covered just 2,554 shares — implying a price near $1,860. That signals just how far this HVAC contractor's stock has climbed.
