Gates Loads Up on Republic Services; NVDA Director Dumps $411M

Bill Gates has been on a buying spree. Filings disclosed between September 1 and 3 show he spent $241M picking up over 1 million shares of RSG across six days in late August and early September. The purchases were made at prices around $220–225 per share. Republic Services is a waste management giant with a $68B market cap. The steady accumulation — spread across 15 separate transactions — signals deliberate conviction, not a one-off bet.

On the sell side, NVDA director Mark Stevens filed to disclose $411M in stock sales. The transactions took place between August 31 and September 2. Stevens sold roughly 1.85 million shares at prices between $220 and $227. At over $5 trillion in market cap, NVIDIA remains a juggernaut — but a board member cashing out that much in a matter of days draws attention.

Also standing out: TPC Executive Chairman Ronald Tutor filed the sale of $198M in shares on August 31. Tutor sold 2.3 million shares in three transactions. That is a significant reduction from a C-suite executive. Tutor Perini is a construction firm worth around $4.5B.

Separately, MSFT CEO Satya Nadella filed sales totalling roughly $53M over August 31 and September 1. At Microsoft's scale these are modest, but CEO disposals always attract scrutiny.
