West Kenneth J

Kenneth J. West, President and CEO of ESS, has demonstrated a clear selling bias in his recent insider transactions, primarily involving Honeywell International (HON). Over 32 reported trades, West’s total sell activity ($1.82 million) significantly outweighs his buys ($478,088), with all four of his most recent transactions being sales. His largest recent disposal occurred on March 2, 2026, when he sold $211,877 worth of HON shares, following earlier sales of $114,037 and $83,899 in February 2026. These disposals align with a broader pattern of monetization, including a $234,048 sale in October 2025 and multiple smaller transactions dating back to mid-2025. West’s activity in HON shares has been almost exclusively sales-driven since at least July 2025, with no recorded purchases in the past year. Earlier transactions included smaller adjustments (under $1,000) marked as code "J" in September 2025, likely representing tax-related or administrative share movements. Notably, several filings from August 2025 lack ticker specificity but show additional sales totaling over $900,000, suggesting potential divestments from other holdings. The absence of any buy-side activity in recent filings reinforces West’s consistent reduction in equity exposure, particularly concentrated in Honeywell. His transactions reflect a disciplined, incremental approach to selling, with no abrupt liquidations but a steady directional trend toward decreasing holdings.
