Insider filings this week reveal a striking wave of selling — and a notable cluster of buying in Asia.
Avis Budget's 10% owner exits in bulk. Pentwater Capital Management filed last week that it sold over $1 billion worth of CAR shares across multiple transactions on April 22-23. The hedge fund sold at prices ranging from $264 to $648 per share. That wide price range across a single day suggests pre-arranged block trades. This is a dramatic vote of no-confidence from a major stakeholder.
Solaris Energy insiders cash out $290M. Two separate insiders at SEI — board member W. Howard Keenan Jr. and KTR Management — filed sales totalling $290.5M in early May. Keenan sold 2 million shares at $74.50 on May 6. KTR sold a further 2 million shares at $70.75 on April 30. Back-to-back selling from two large holders is a pattern worth watching.
AST SpaceMobile's top shareholder trims $270M. Rakuten's Hiroshi Mikitani filed two sales in ASTS totalling $270.9M on April 14-15, selling near the $86-$91 range.
On the buy side, Ping An Insurance quietly bought $115M in shares and $78M in Agricultural Bank of China — a significant bet on Chinese financials amid trade tensions.
