Susan Morris, chief executive officer of Albertsons Companies (ACI), has compiled a Form 4 filing history that is strikingly one-sided in favor of accumulation. Across 51 reported transactions spanning two companies, her open-market purchases total roughly $449,938, while her open-market sales total exactly zero. That buying bias is most pronounced in her most recent activity: on July 28, 2026, she executed two separate open-market purchases of ACI stock valued at $217,664.76 and $232,273.04, respectively, bringing her two most recent trades to a combined $449,937.80 in fresh capital deployed. No corresponding sales appear anywhere in the recent filing window.
The remainder of her ACI activity is dominated by compensation mechanics rather than discretionary trading. A cluster of option exercises and tax-withholding dispositions on March 2, 2026, shows exercise values ranging from $159,202.60 to $1,152,598.90, paired with "F" code shares withheld to cover taxes—automatic transactions that do not reflect a sell decision. A similar pattern appears on April 21, 2026, with exercises valued between $563,617.30 and $776,698.90, again offset by tax withholdings. Several "A" code grants with zero dollar values were reported in April and May 2026, representing equity awards rather than purchases.
The data paints a clear directional picture: Morris has not sold a single share on the open market across her entire filing history, while her only discretionary cash transactions have been purchases. The July 28 buys, coming after a series of mechanical option exercises and grants, suggest a deliberate increase in her personal stake in ACI at a time when her compensation-related holdings were already substantial. The absence of any "S" or "D" codes—open-market sales or sales back to the issuer—reinforces that her disclosed behavior is overwhelmingly accumulative.
