KATHWARI M FAROOQ

KATHWARI M FAROOQ, Chairman, President & CEO of Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. (ETD), has demonstrated a clear selling bias in recent insider transactions, with 18 sales and no buys since August 2025. The transactions, spanning from January 2025 to January 2026, reveal a pattern of consistent divestment, with total sales exceeding $7.65 million against $1.34 million in purchases. Notably, the largest single sale occurred on December 11, 2025, when Kathwari sold shares worth $375,150, followed by another significant sale of $420,150 on October 15, 2025. Smaller but repeated sales—such as those on January 22, 2026, totaling $54,221.68, $675.27, and $625.25—further underscore the sustained selling trend. The only major buy activity occurred in August 2025, when Kathwari acquired shares worth $1.34 million via market purchase (code M) and $1.30 million through a derivative transaction (code F). Since then, however, the filings show no new acquisitions, only dispositions. The sales have been executed at varying price points, with multiple transactions clustered around mid-month dates—such as January, February, and March 2025—suggesting a possible structured selling plan. The absence of recent buys and the continued offloading of shares indicate a shift toward reducing exposure to ETD, though the reasons remain undisclosed in the filings.
