Russo Joseph J.

Russo Joseph J., EVP & President of Global Networks & Technology at Verizon (VZ), has demonstrated a clear selling bias in his recent insider transactions, with $4.05 million in total sales compared to $444,265 in buys across 68 reported trades. His activity is concentrated exclusively in Verizon, with no trades in other companies. The most significant transactions include three large sales on February 27, 2026, totaling $1.23 million, followed by a $907,365 disposition on February 11, 2026, and a $429,906 sale on February 2, 2026. These disposals sharply contrast with smaller, routine acquisitions—typically around $1,100—likely tied to automatic dividend reinvestments or similar plans. The pattern suggests Russo has been reducing his Verizon stake substantially in early 2026, with no recent purchases offsetting the sales. The transactions are methodical, with multiple high-value sales occurring within weeks of each other. While smaller, periodic acquisitions continue—such as the $1,103.84 and $1,103.89 purchases in March 2026—they are dwarfed by the scale of the disposals. The absence of buys beyond these nominal amounts reinforces a net divestment trend. The filings reflect a disciplined approach, with no erratic trading, but the aggregate data points to a deliberate shift toward decreasing his position in Verizon.
