Insiders across the US sent mixed signals this week. Buyers and sellers made bold moves in very different directions.
Sportradar CEO Goes All-In
SRAD founder and CEO Carsten Koerl filed three separate purchases this week. Combined, he spent over $6.7M buying shares between May 4–6. That's a strong signal of confidence from the top. Founders buying their own stock with real money is hard to ignore.
Upstart Founder Buys the Dip
UPST founder David Girouard filed a $4.99M purchase on May 8, covering 169,940 shares traded on May 7. He paid roughly $29 per share. Girouard hasn't been a frequent buyer. This fresh filing stands out.
GE HealthCare Director Steps Up
GEHC director Lawrence Culp filed a $5M buy on May 7. He picked up 80,805 shares at around $62. That's a notable commitment from a board-level insider.
Avis Budget Gets Hammered by Its Own Holder
The biggest sell story belongs to CAR. Hedge fund Pentwater Capital Management — a 10% owner — filed over across multiple transactions on April 28. All trades were executed on April 22–23. Pentwater was not subtle about exiting.
Bill Ackman Buys His Own Firm
PS Chairman/CEO William Ackman filed purchases totalling $17.6M in his own closed-end fund on May 4. He spent nearly $24 per share. Ackman backing his own vehicle with fresh capital sends a clear message to his investors.
