STANKEY JOHN T

STANKEY JOHN T, CEO & President, has demonstrated a pronounced selling bias in his insider trading activity, as evidenced by SEC Form 4 filings. Over the course of 54 transactions, all involving AT&T Inc. (T), Stankey has sold shares totaling $53,355,253.72, while purchasing shares worth only $144,034.61. This significant disparity underscores a clear trend toward divestment rather than accumulation of company stock. Notably, the majority of these sales occurred in early 2026, with transactions on January 29 alone accounting for $15,315,074.68 in proceeds, including a single sale valued at $7,718,004.13 and another at $7,587,070.55. Smaller sales followed in February, such as a $694,022.40 transaction on February 13 and a $673,097.49 sale on January 15. Stankey’s buying activity, by contrast, has been minimal and sporadic, with purchases primarily occurring in late 2025 and early 2026. These acquisitions, such as those on October 31, 2025, and January 30, 2026, were modest in scale, each valued at approximately $20,000. The absence of recent buys further highlights the ongoing divestment trend. While the filings do not provide insight into the motivations behind these transactions, the data reveals a consistent pattern of reducing equity exposure in AT&T. This activity aligns with Stankey’s role as a top executive, though the scale and timing of the sales are notable within the context of his overall trading history.
