Six insiders at IRDM filed sales on August 19, all reporting trades made on August 17. COO Suzanne McBride sold $4.3M worth of shares. Director Thomas Fitzpatrick offloaded over $10.5M. Chief Legal Officer Kathleen Morgan sold $1.6M. Combined, the cluster totalled more than $18M in a single day — a rare wave of coordinated executive selling.
Parker-Hannifin saw a similar pattern. Seven insiders filed sales on August 18. COO Andrew Ross sold $5.8M at around $1,058 per share. EVP Mark Hart filed a $2.6M sale. CIO Dinu Parel sold over $4M across multiple tranches. All trades hit at similar prices, pointing to a planned sell programme.
At Darling Ingredients, the CEO joined the selling. Randall Stuewe filed two sales on August 14, totalling roughly $640K. The Chief Administration Officer and Chief Strategy Officer also sold the same week. Four C-suite insiders selling in parallel is worth watching.
On the buy side, activity was thin among US names. Adani Power saw large family-entity purchases filed in early August, but those reflect non-US dynamics.
Insider cluster sales do not always signal trouble — planned selling programmes are common. But the timing across multiple executives at both IRDM and PH stands out as unusual.
