Bill Gates filed $492 million in purchases of RSG shares in early September. The filings, reported between 25 August and 3 September, covered 28 separate transactions across nine trading days. Gates, listed as a major shareholder, bought roughly 2.2 million Republic Services shares at prices averaging around $220. The waste-management giant has been a long-running position for Gates, but the sheer volume of buying this period stands out.
On the other side of the ledger, NVDA independent director Mark A. Stevens disclosed $411 million in sales across seven transactions filed on 2 September. Stevens sold 1.85 million shares between 31 August and 2 September. The General Counsel, Timothy Teter, also filed $6.5 million in NVDA sales on the same date. No 10b5-1 plan designation was flagged in the data, though director-level sales at these volumes warrant close attention given NVIDIA's elevated valuation.
Elsewhere, activist buying in Asian markets drew attention. Viva China Holdings, a board-connected holding company, filed over $130 million in purchases of Li Ning shares across three tranches in late August and early September. The accumulated stake signals renewed confidence from the sportswear brand's founding family circle, though positions are as last disclosed around the 5% threshold and may have since changed.
The contrast in signals is sharp. A billionaire loading up on a steady US infrastructure stock sits beside an NVDA insider reducing a very large position at near-record prices.
