Gregory N. Roberts, CEO of Barrick Gold (GOLD), has been a consistent seller of company stock over the past year, with Form 4 filings showing 57 total transactions and zero open-market purchases. The aggregate value of his sales reached approximately $17.7 million, all concentrated in the single gold mining ticker. The most recent cluster of activity, spanning May 11–13, 2026, shows a clear pattern: Roberts executed multiple open-market sales totaling roughly $5.9 million, paired with option exercises valued at around $228,000. On May 13 alone, he sold shares worth $3.3 million across two transactions, while exercising options worth $130,400.
The February 2026 filings reveal an even heavier selling period, with sales on February 10–11 exceeding $6.2 million. Notable individual transactions include a $3.4 million sale on February 10 and a $1.5 million sale the same day, alongside option exercises valued at approximately $740,000 and $505,000. The February 11 filings show a series of smaller sales ranging from roughly $79,000 to $524,000, interspersed with option exercises. Across all recent transactions, the pattern is uniform: every sale is paired with an option exercise, and no purchases appear. The M-code exercises are mechanical conversions, while the S-code sales represent the only discretionary component, and that discretion has been exercised exclusively in the direction of reducing his position. Over the entire filing period, Roberts has not acquired a single share through open-market purchase, reinforcing a sustained sell-side bias in his GOLD holdings.
