Stein Clint

Stein Clint, President and CEO of Columbia Banking System (COLB), has demonstrated a clear bias toward accumulating shares in the company, with $9.08 million in total buys compared to $2.62 million in sales across 33 transactions. His recent activity includes a mix of acquisitions and dispositions, though the scale of purchases far outweighs sales. On February 18, 2026, he acquired $1.75 million worth of COLB shares (transaction code A), following earlier February purchases totaling over $1.24 million across multiple filings. While he has engaged in periodic sales—such as the $187,570 disposition on March 13, 2026 (code F) and a $476,625 sale the same day (code M)—these have been outweighed by larger acquisitions, including a $1.08 million buy on February 25, 2025, and a $1.45 million purchase the same day. The pattern suggests a long-term accumulation strategy, with most sales appearing to be smaller, likely routine dispositions rather than strategic reductions. Notably, several transactions in early 2026 involved both acquisitions and sales on the same day, such as February 2, when he bought $652,823 and $858,842 in shares (code A) while selling $256,907 and $337,961 (code F). The absence of recent trades in the past few months leaves the current stance unclear, but the historical data underscores a net bullish position in COLB, with Stein Clint consistently increasing his stake despite periodic divestments.
