Gates and Dart Pile In With Hundreds of Millions

The most striking insider activity in the latest available filings shows two heavyweight buyers moving in size, while a US defence-linked CEO quietly trimmed a large position.

Bill Gates filed purchases in RSG Republic Services worth over $280M in aggregate across late August and early September 2026. The filings, reported on 1 and 3 September, covered dozens of individual transactions spread across multiple days. Gates holds the stock as a main shareholder, not a board officer, so these are passive accumulation trades rather than C-level conviction buys. Still, the scale is hard to ignore for a waste and environmental services company.

The bigger story is in Sweden. Kenneth Bryan Dart, the main shareholder of EVO Evolution AB, filed purchases totalling roughly $716M across two tranches, with filings hitting on 26 August 2026. The trades took place on 21 and 24 July. Dart bought around 10 million shares in the online gaming and live-casino group. That filing lag of over a month is worth noting. The position is disclosed as of that date and may have changed since.

On the sell side, Brian Lane, CEO of FIX Comfort Systems USA, sold $25.8M worth of shares on 26 August, filed the following day. Lane's sale covered just over 16,000 shares. Lloyds Banking Group CFO William Chalmers sold £-equivalent shares in LLOY worth $12.8M on 27 August.

Note: the vendor insider database used here runs only to 8 September 2026. More recent US filings from SEC EDGAR were unavailable in this environment. The freshest activity from the past two months could not be retrieved.
