Yael Cosset, Executive Vice President at Kroger (KR), has demonstrated a clear sell-side bias in her recent SEC Form 4 filings, with no open-market purchases recorded across her 45 transactions. Her total sell value reached $11.47 million, concentrated entirely in Kroger stock, while her activity at Kohl’s (KSS) consisted solely of zero-value grants (code A) representing compensation awards. The most recent transaction, a $1.76 million open-market sale of Kroger shares on July 14, 2026, underscores the continuation of this pattern, following two earlier KR sales in March 2025 totaling roughly $1.86 million.
The transaction mix reveals a distinction between discretionary sales and automatic dispositions. While Cosset executed three open-market sales (code S) in Kroger stock, the bulk of her other KR filings were code F transactions—shares withheld to cover tax obligations—and code A grants, which are compensation-related rather than conviction trades. For instance, on March 13, 2026, she had $681,358.80 in shares withheld for taxes, and similar F-code events occurred on March 9–13, 2026, totaling over $1.36 million. These mechanical dispositions, combined with the absence of any P-code purchases, indicate that her realized cash flow from equity has been entirely outflow-oriented.
At Kohl’s, Cosset’s activity has been purely compensatory, with multiple A-code grants dated between September 2025 and June 2026, all valued at zero. No sales or purchases have been recorded for KSS, suggesting her stake there is building through equity awards rather than active trading. Across both companies, the data shows no recent buying activity—only three sell transactions in the last year—and a consistent pattern of monetizing Kroger shares while accumulating Kohl’s stock exclusively through grants.
