UBER President and COO Andrew MacDonald filed on September 8 showing he bought 54,325 shares on September 4. The trade cost $4.1 million at market prices. That is a meaningful open-market purchase from a named executive at a company whose stock is down 16% year to date.
Open-market buys by C-suite officers carry real weight. MacDonald chose to deploy personal capital at current prices. That is a discretionary move, not a compensation award or option exercise.
Elsewhere, the latest filings from Hong Kong markets show JPMorgan Chase trimmed its 5%-plus stakes in several Chinese technology names. The bank sold roughly $85 million worth of Kingdee International Software Group shares and $71 million of Sunny Optical Technology on September 2. Both disposals were filed on September 8. These are custodial book-entry moves tied to institutional rebalancing rather than conviction sales, but the scale signals reduced exposure to Chinese software and optics names.
On the buy side, JPMorgan added $27 million to its position in Huaneng Power International, the Chinese utility, on the same date.
In Turkey, Umit Gumus, chairman of Burçelik Vana, bought $12.9 million in shares on September 7, filed the same day. That came alongside a $13.6 million disposal by a 10% fund holder in the same company. Board chairman buying while a fund exits is a split signal worth watching.
