Bill Gates filed to disclose he bought over $927 million in Republic Services shares between August 10 and September 2. The filings hit SEC records on September 3. Gates accumulated roughly 4.2 million shares, reinforcing his status as the waste management firm's biggest backer. Republic Services carries a market cap of $65 billion. Short interest sits at just 1.7% of free float — bears are not lining up against this one.
On the selling side, NVIDIA Independent Director Mark Stevens filed to report he sold $411 million in stock across August 31 and September 2. The filing was submitted September 2. Stevens shed roughly 1.85 million shares across several tranches. NVIDIA's market cap stands at $5.5 trillion. The data does not indicate a 10b5-1 pre-planned sale flag, though director-level sells carry less signal than C-suite discretionary moves.
Separately, VIVA CHINA HOLDINGS filed disclosing it bought around $131 million in Li Ning shares in late August and early September — a vote of confidence from the Chinese sportswear brand's controlling shareholder as the stock has faced pressure.
Investors should note that these figures reflect filings as recently disclosed, not necessarily new activity — always check the filing date against the trade date.
