Mathias Michael A.

Michael A. Mathias, EVP and CFO, has demonstrated a clear pattern of insider trading activity focused exclusively on American Eagle Outfitters (AEO), as evidenced by SEC Form 4 filings. Over the course of 42 transactions, Mathias has engaged in both buying and selling shares of AEO, with a notable bias toward selling. The total value of his purchases amounts to $4,286,069.82, while the total value of sales reaches $6,459,889.77, indicating a net divestment trend. Recent filings highlight this selling bias, with two significant sales recorded on December 5, 2025 ($4,486,875.84) and September 16, 2025 ($809,420). These transactions were accompanied by smaller acquisitions through derivative securities, such as options exercises, but the overall direction remains weighted toward reducing his holdings. Mathias’s activity in 2025 and 2026 shows a continuation of this trend, with no recent purchases and additional sales, including a transaction on February 5, 2026, valued at $633,243.25. While he has occasionally acquired shares through derivative transactions, such as those on April 2, 2025 ($1,677,693.60) and March 28, 2025 ($73,818.88), these acquisitions are overshadowed by the larger sell-offs. The data suggests a strategic reduction in his stake in AEO, with no indication of recent buying activity. This pattern aligns with his broader trading history, which emphasizes divestment over accumulation in recent years.
