UBER President and COO Andrew Gordon MacDonald filed a $4.1M open-market purchase on September 8, disclosing he bought 54,325 shares at $75.65 each on September 4. This was a discretionary buy, not a pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan sale, making it a stronger signal than the routine executive stock grants that dominate most filings. Uber's market cap stands at $141bn, and short interest sits at just 2.3% of free float, so there is little short-side pressure to amplify any upside move.
Separately, JPMorgan Chase filed a sweep of Hong Kong-listed positions on September 8, covering trades executed on September 2. The bank sold $85M worth of Kingdee International Software and $71M of Sunny Optical Technology, while simultaneously buying $27M of Huaneng Power International. The power utility trade runs counter to the broader selling pattern and may reflect a reallocation toward energy within a 5%-owner mandate. These are institutional threshold disclosures, not conviction bets, and stakes are as-last-disclosed around the 5% level.
In Turkey, Burçelik Vana chairman Umit Gumus filed a $12.9M personal purchase of his own company's shares on September 8, covering a trade made on September 7. An asset manager, Bulls Portföy, filed a $13.6M sale of the same stock on the same day. The chairman buying while a major shareholder exits is a split signal worth watching.
