Kurian George, CEO of NetApp (NTAP), has filed 72 Form 4 transactions across two companies, with a clear and consistent selling bias. His total open-market sales amount to $45,650,164.99, while his open-market purchases total zero. The recent activity is concentrated entirely in NTAP, where George has executed 12 open-market sales in the last several months, with no corresponding buys.
The selling pattern is steady and substantial. On September 14, 2026, George filed five separate sales totaling roughly $9.6 million, with individual transactions ranging from $264,875.80 to $2,467,652.95. He followed with a $2.6 million sale on September 21, a $7.4 million sale on September 24, and a $10.5 million sale on September 29. The most recent filings, dated October 1, 2026, show four sales worth approximately $2.1 million combined. These are all open-market sales, coded as S, meaning George is liquidating shares directly into the market.
Outside of NTAP, George holds a position at Cigna (CI), but his activity there is limited to compensation awards. He received a $30,000.01 grant on August 31, 2026, and a similar award on May 29, 2026. These are coded as A, which are compensation grants, not purchases. The NTAP filings also include option exercises (coded M) with zero dollar value, and tax withholding transactions (coded F) of $782,446.83 on August 15 and $1,118,467.18 on May 15. Those are mechanical events tied to equity compensation. The aggregate picture is one of consistent selling of NTAP shares, with no open-market buying in the recent period.
