Aviation CEO Goes All In: $939K Buy Signals Lift-Off

Today's Top Insider Moves That Matter

Markets split the difference today. Consumer defensives, financials, and healthcare stocks posted a healthy green day, while tech and communication services lagged under renewed valuation pressures. Energy and industrials were a mixed bag, with oil & gas sliding while aerospace and infrastructure names held their ground.

Against that backdrop, insider behavior is telling a deeper story. While tech founders and consumer names lightened up, we saw major conviction buys in real estate, aviation, and regional banking. The contrast is sharp: insiders in volatile sectors are trimming exposure, while those in unloved or overlooked pockets of the market are quietly loading up. Add in coordinated cluster buys across REITs and oil names, and it’s clear that beneath the surface, the smart money is repositioning—not retreating.

Let’s break down the biggest moves from today’s Form 4 filings.

Biggest Insider Sales

📱 Root, Inc. $ROOT ( ▲ 0.36% ) – $30.6M Drop from a Core Stakeholder

• Who’s Selling? Meyer Malka (10% Owner)

• What They Sold: 225,000 shares at $135.81

• Total Value: $30.56M

• Why It Matters: Malka slashed 31% of his holdings, pocketing over $30M. While he retains a sizable stake, the move suggests confidence is thinning as shares flirt with resistance levels.

🧠 Equifax $EFX ( ▼ 0.75% ) – CEO Takes $5.7M Off the Table

• Who’s Selling? Mark Begor (Chief Executive Officer)

• What They Sold: 22,160 shares at $256.61

• Total Value: $5.69M

• Why It Matters: This 8% trim might look tame, but Begor’s timing aligns with Equifax trading near multi-quarter highs. It's a textbook example of profit-taking before uncertainty bites.

🏥 Encompass Health $EHC ( ▼ 0.28% ) – CFO Clears $5M in a Single Move

• Who’s Selling? Douglas Coltharp (EVP, CFO)

• What They Sold: 43,575 shares at $115.15

• Total Value: $5.02M

• Why It Matters: Coltharp’s 15% reduction is notable from a financial gatekeeper. With the company’s recent strength, the sale may be less about panic—and more about portfolio rebalancing.

📉 Robinhood Markets $HOOD ( ▼ 1.11% ) – Co-Founder Nearly Cashes Out

• Who’s Selling? Baiju Bhatt (Director)

• What They Sold: 94,156 shares at $50.67

• Total Value: $4.77M

• Why It Matters: This one stings. Bhatt offloaded 92% of his remaining stake, leaving behind just a symbolic holding. Whether it’s a shift in focus or fading faith in HOOD’s future, the exit speaks volumes.

🧴 Hims & Hers Health $HIMS ( ▲ 2.6% ) – CEO Lightens Up, Slightly

• Who’s Selling? Andrew Dudum (CEO, 10% Owner)

• What They Sold: 91,667 shares at $33.57

• Total Value: $3.08M

• Why It Matters: A 1% trim from Dudum isn’t alarming in isolation. But paired with other consumer health exec sales, it adds to a broader pattern of cautious repositioning.

Today’s sales paint a picture of executives trimming into strength—strategic, not panicked. Still, Bhatt’s near-exit and Malka’s massive cash-out aren’t signals you ignore.

Now let’s flip the tape—who’s buying while others are cashing in?
