Executives Buy the Dip, One Dumps Millions

Insider filings over the past two weeks reveal a sharp split: executives at beaten-down consumer and pharma names are loading up, while one hedge fund director cashed out over $300 million at Twilio.

Cruise CEO Goes All-In

Norwegian Cruise Line stands out as the most active buying story. Director Steve Pagliuca filed purchases of $25 million across June 1–2, buying 1.38 million shares near $18. CEO John Chidsey also filed a $2.5 million buy on May 26. At least five separate insiders disclosed purchases in May and June combined — a rare cluster signal from across the boardroom.

Pharma CEO Backs His Own Stock

Aurinia Pharmaceuticals CEO Kevin Tang filed $4.2 million in personal purchases on June 3. His fund, Tang Capital, filed a further $25 million in buys around the same dates near $15.28 per share. That level of conviction from the company's own chairman is hard to ignore.

IFF Director Buys $20M

At International Flavors & Fragrances, Continental Grain filed a $19.3 million purchase on June 2, with Director Paul Fribourg adding $1 million the same day. The stock has been under pressure — this is a fresh bet on a recovery.

Twilio Insider Exits $315M

On the sell side, a board-linked hedge fund filed two large sales at Twilio totalling $315 million in May. At prices up to $193, that is a significant exit near multi-year highs.
