Preston Bryan D.

Preston Bryan D., Chief Financial Officer & EVP of Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB), has demonstrated a consistent pattern of selling company stock over the past several years, with no recorded purchases in SEC filings. Since 2024, Preston has executed 23 transactions involving FITB shares, all of which were sales totaling approximately $1.13 million. The transactions, primarily coded as "F" (indicating sales of securities acquired through employee benefit plans or derivative transactions), show a recurring trend around mid-February each year. Notably, the largest single sale occurred on December 15, 2025, when Preston divested shares worth $304,820.59. Other significant sales include a $226,399.38 transaction on February 18, 2026, and a $158,660.06 sale on February 19, 2025. Smaller but frequent disposals, such as the $12,586.59 sale on February 12, 2024, and a $10,518.30 sale two days later, suggest a methodical approach to reducing holdings. The absence of any buy transactions indicates a clear divestment strategy rather than accumulation. While some filings include "A" (grant or award) and "G" (gift) transaction codes with zero reported value—likely representing equity awards or transfers—the overall activity skews heavily toward liquidation. The timing of sales, often clustered in February, may align with vesting schedules or tax planning, though the filings do not specify motives. Preston’s transactions reflect a sustained reduction in FITB exposure, with the most recent sales occurring in February 2026, totaling $426,312.74 across three separate filings. The consistency of these disposals, spanning multiple years, underscores a deliberate and ongoing sell-side bias in Preston’s trading history.
