The most striking pattern in recent insider filings: while chief executives quietly add shares, one hedge fund dumped over $1.1 billion worth of stock.
Pentwater Capital Management filed on April 28 that it sold its entire stake in CAR — Avis Budget Group — across multiple transactions totalling over $1.1B between April 22–23. The position had been built up over time. Pentwater now appears to have exited completely.
On the buy side, SRAD CEO Carsten Koerl filed two purchases this week. He bought $2.4M worth of Sportradar shares on May 4, then added another $2.1M the following day — a combined $4.5M personal bet on his own company just filed on May 6.
CSGP founder and CEO Andrew Florance also stepped up, filing a $2.4M purchase in CoStar Group on May 4. Founder-CEOs buying open market shares is typically one of the stronger bullish signals.
Bill Ackman filed purchases of over $17.6M in his own vehicle PS — Pershing Square Inc. — late last week.
Meanwhile, private equity firm General Atlantic filed three separate purchases in ALKT — Alkami Technology — totalling $34.7M across May 4–6, signalling strong conviction in the digital banking software firm.
