David W. Kemper, Executive Chairman of Commerce Bancshares (CBSH) and Post Holdings (POST), has demonstrated a clear selling bias in his recent insider transactions, with $2.38 million in total sales outweighing $1.35 million in purchases across 54 reported trades. His activity in CBSH shares has been particularly notable, including a $149,446 sale on January 30, 2026, and a $57,820 acquisition of shares via a derivative transaction on January 28, 2026. Meanwhile, his POST transactions show a pattern of smaller, recurring acquisitions—typically around $17,221 per transaction—likely tied to equity awards, alongside a single large $176,274 purchase on November 24, 2025.
Kemper’s most recent trades include a $7,213 CBSH buy on March 24, 2026, and two POST acquisitions of $17,221 each on February 27, 2026, continuing his mixed but predominantly sales-weighted approach. The data suggests he has been reducing his CBSH exposure while maintaining his POST holdings through periodic awards. Over the past year, his CBSH sales have been more substantial in dollar terms compared to his purchases, whereas his POST activity reflects steady equity compensation with only sporadic discretionary buys. The filings indicate no recent sales in POST, contrasting with his CBSH disposals.
