Dart Drops $715M on Evolution, Gates Piles Into Waste Stocks

Kenneth Bryan Dart disclosed purchases of more than $715 million worth of EVO shares across two tranches in late July, with the filings reported in late August. Dart, listed as main shareholder of Evolution AB, bought 8 million shares on 21 July and a further 2 million on 24 July. The scale of the commitment is striking: at the time of filing, it was the largest single insider buy in the ORTEX dataset by a wide margin. Dart's buying came even as Capital Group had offloaded more than $800 million of Evolution stock earlier in June, pointing to a sharp divergence of view at the shareholder level.

Across the Atlantic, Bill Gates kept adding to his stake in Republic Services. Filings reported in late August and early September showed purchases totalling more than $250 million across a cluster of trading days, with individual tranches ranging from roughly $2 million to $51 million. The steady accumulation looks deliberate rather than opportunistic.

On the sell side, NVIDIA independent director Mark Stevens filed disclosures in early September showing sales worth more than $400 million over two days. The concentration of selling in a tight window is notable, though the filings do not indicate whether a 10b5-1 plan was in place.

At Twilio, board member Andy Stafman, representing a hedge fund, reported a single $123 million sale on 12 August. It was the only insider transaction filed for the stock in recent months, making it stand out.
