Microsoft CMO sells $2.4M outside a 10b5-1 plan weak(2026-W32)
EVP and Chief Marketing Officer Takeshi Numoto sold 4,810.353 shares for about $2.39M at a weighted-average price of $496.48 (event 0000789019-26-000141:0). Unlike every other transaction on this week's tape, the filing does not check the Rule 10b5-1 box, making this a discretionary rather than a pre-scheduled sale. It is still a disposal, not a purchase, so it does not meet the bar for a positive signal — but it is worth distinguishing from the routine plan-based selling elsewhere this week since the timing was Numoto's own choice.
Insider tape is one-sided again: 21 sales, zero buys weak(2026-W34)
All 21 insider transactions filed this week are sales, with zero purchases across the watchlist. Microsoft EVP Judson Althoff sold $4.88M and Meta CFO Susan Li sold $1.47M, neither flagged as 10b5-1; AMD's Paul Darren Grasby sold $7.72M, also without a plan flag — the single largest discretionary insider sale of the week. The rest — Meta COO Javier Olivan (~$1.02M across nine lines), Meta director Marc Andreessen (~$251K across four lines), Amazon's Douglas Herrington (~$983K across three lines), and AMD's Mark Papermaster ($3.59M) and Ava Hahn ($67.9K) — are all explicit 10b5-1 plan sales. Combined, roughly $19.98M of insider selling this week and no offsetting purchase from any watched actor.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella files $43.4M in standing-plan sales weak(2026-W36)
Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella filed 8 sale lines on 2026-09-01 totaling 86,525 shares for about $43.4M (events 0000789019-26-000161:0 through :7), all flagged as Rule 10b5-1 plan transactions. Line sizes range from 1,040 to 32,901 shares, consistent with a pre-set formula rather than a discretionary call made this week.
Microsoft CFO Amy Hood sells $20.8M under a standing plan weak(2026-W38)
CFO Amy E. Hood filed 6 sale lines within a single accession on 2026-09-14, totaling 41,674 shares for about $20.76M (events 0000789019-26-000212:0 through :5), disclosed as a Rule 10b5-1 plan transaction. This continues a recurring pattern of scheduled disposals seen in prior weeks and carries no read on her view of Microsoft.
