Willis Austin Chandler, CEO of Willis Lease Finance Corporation (WLFC), has demonstrated a clear selling bias in recent months, with 19 sell transactions since December 2025 and no buys during that period. His activity in WLFC shares has been concentrated in a series of disposals, including multiple sales on March 2, 2026, ranging from $8,035 to $205,231, totaling approximately $750,000 in aggregate value that day alone. This follows earlier sales in February 2026, where transactions ranged from $36,600 to $222,600 per filing. The selling trend began in January 2026, when Chandler also acquired shares through awards (A) valued at nearly $5 million, suggesting potential stock-based compensation followed by subsequent dispositions.
Over his entire trading history, Chandler has executed 52 transactions exclusively in WLFC, with total buys of $4.99 million and total sales of $5.22 million—a net selling position. The most recent transactions, including a $131,236 sale on March 16, 2026, reinforce this pattern. While his January 2026 awards significantly increased his holdings, the subsequent disposals indicate a consistent effort to monetize portions of his position. The absence of open-market purchases during this period contrasts with the steady liquidation of shares, reflecting a measured reduction in exposure to the company he leads.
