The past week brought a flurry of high-value insider filings, with sellers dominating but one notable contrarian buyer emerging.
DKNG founder Matthew Kalish filed on May 15 disclosing a sale of nearly 1.9 million shares worth $31.7 million. The DraftKings co-founder and Director is the largest US C-suite seller in the period, signalling a desire to take profits as the stock trades near recent highs.
At MP Materials, CEO and founder James Litinsky filed three separate sell transactions worth a combined $18.3 million between May 12–14. The rare earth miner's chief unloaded shares across consecutive days — an unusually aggressive pace of disposal for a sitting chairman.
The standout buyer of the week is Jared Isaacman. The founder of FOUR Shift4 Payments filed two purchases totalling $15.9 million on May 11–12. Isaacman — better known recently as a NASA astronaut — stepped back in as buyer after a quiet stretch, spending roughly $41 per share across 388,500 shares.
KHC CEO Steve Cahillane also filed a notable buy. He disclosed a purchase of Kraft Heinz shares on May 12. That is a meaningful bet from a sitting chief executive at a company whose stock has faced persistent pressure.
On the sell side, KLAC President and CEO Richard Wallace filed a $8.1 million sale of KLA Corporation shares on May 12, and HWM Chief Administration Officer Neil Marchuk disclosed an $11.3 million Howmet Aerospace sale filed the same day.
