Bill Gates has been on a buying spree. Filings published this week show he acquired over 3.68 million shares of RSG across 57 transactions between August 10 and August 31. The total outlay: $808 million. The purchases come at prices around $220 per share. Gates is already one of Republic Services' largest shareholders. This sustained accumulation — spread across weeks with no pause — signals deep, deliberate conviction in the waste-management sector.
On the sell side, Ronda E. Stryker — an independent director and founding-family member of SYK — filed disclosures showing she offloaded 350,000 shares of Stryker Corporation on August 18–19 for roughly $118 million. The average price was near $337. No 10b5-1 plan flag was disclosed in the available data, making this a notable discretionary exit by someone with deep heritage ties to the company.
In Europe, Swedish gaming-services giant EVO saw filings published August 26 show that major shareholder Kenneth Bryan Dart bought over 10 million shares in late July for approximately $716 million. Separately, an associate-level insider sold smaller tranches of EVO stock in late August, though at far lower values.
Indian mobility firm Ather Energy saw Singapore-based Caladium Investment Pte Ltd file a sale, disclosed September 1 — a significant reduction in one of the company's key institutional backers.
