The biggest insider story this week is a name you wouldn't expect on a filing: Bill Gates. Filings reported on August 20 show Gates bought $36.4 million in RSG — Republic Services, the US waste management giant. He acquired 166,858 shares at roughly $218 each. It's a bold, conviction-heavy bet on steady cash flows in an uncertain macro environment.
On the sell side, CHYM — Chime Financial — is seeing heavy distribution. Venture backer DST Global filed multiple sales totalling over $160 million in the past week alone, offloading shares at around $32.60. The timing, just after Chime's IPO run-up, suggests early investors are locking in profits fast.
SYK Director Ronda Stryker — a founding-family member — filed $81 million in sales on August 20. Two separate blocks of 131,752 and 109,425 shares were sold at market prices.
Energy Transfer's founder Kelcy Warren went the other way. He filed $21.3 million in fresh purchases of ET on August 20, snapping up nearly 1 million units. That's a clear vote of confidence from the man who built the pipeline empire.
Meanwhile, Sotera Health's Executive Chairman filed a $15.7 million sale of shares on August 19 — worth watching given the company's ongoing regulatory backdrop.
