Bill Gates has been quietly stacking shares in RSG for weeks. Filings published September 3rd show he bought over $927 million worth of Republic Services stock between August 10th and September 2nd. That works out to more than 4.2 million shares. The purchases make Gates the standout buyer across global markets this month.
Also filed on September 8th: Uber Technologies President and COO Andrew MacDonald spent $5.3 million buying UBER shares outright. MacDonald paid roughly $75 per share across two tranches on September 4th. That is a discretionary open-market purchase — a strong signal of executive confidence with no 10b5-1 plan attached.
In Asia, the founder and Executive Chairman of Shenzhou International Group, Ma Jianrong, bought $25.8 million worth of stock in his own company on September 1st. Shenzhou is one of the world's largest garment manufacturers. Filings were reported September 3rd.
Viva China Holdings — the family vehicle of Li Ning founder Li Ning — filed three separate buys in sportswear group Li Ning Company totalling over $131 million across August 27th to September 2nd. The buying cluster stands out as one of the most aggressive founder-led purchases globally this cycle.
The Li Ning and RSG buys are as-last-disclosed positions — filings represent stakes at the time of the reported trades.
