Bill Ackman made a bold move last week. The Pershing Square founder filed on May 4 to show he spent over $19M buying shares of his own firm, PS, on April 30. He bought across three separate transactions. That's a strong public vote of confidence in his own vehicle.
The contrast elsewhere is stark. At PTEN, two senior insiders dumped shares worth nearly $7M combined. CEO Andy Hendricks sold $2.96M worth on May 1. Vice Chairman Robert Drummond sold a further $3.9M the same day. The coordinated exit at the oil services firm stands out.
Even larger, a 10% owner at SEI — Solaris Energy Infrastructure — filed a $141.5M block sale of 2 million shares on April 30. That's the biggest single insider exit in recent US filings.
On the buy side, CSGP founder and CEO Andrew Florance picked up over $2.4M in CoStar Group shares on May 1. Founder buying at this scale is typically seen as a bullish signal.
Meanwhile, INTC Chief Legal Officer April Miller Boise sold in Intel stock on May 1. Intel has faced prolonged pressure, and C-suite selling adds another layer of caution for investors watching the chipmaker's turnaround story.
