CLO Gina Mazzariello sold 30,000 shares ($538.9K) via 10b5-1 plan; retains 179.1K shares post-sale

Gina Mazzariello, Chief Legal Officer at Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, executed 2 separate sales totaling 30,000 shares for $538,867.50 on 2026-07-09 and 2026-07-10 at blended average price of $17.96. This transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2026-04-09, meaning the sales were scheduled and not discretionary. The stock currently trades at $17.41, within the 52-week range of $6.56–$19.15, and is -9.1% from the 52-week high. The company reported zero revenue in its latest quarter and negative net income of $-41,284,000.00, with annual revenue growth of -100.0%. Given the scheduled nature of the 10b5-1 plan, this transaction reflects pre-established execution rather than a real-time discretionary response to current operational or market conditions. Investors should note that the CLO retained 179,090 shares post-transaction and that the company's fundamental performance shows significant challenges including no reported quarterly revenue and substantial operating losses.

Director Karen Firestone buys 3.8K shares of AMLX at $13.51; stock now down 30.0% from 52-week high, company unprofitable with $-41.3M net income

Karen Firestone purchased 3,800 shares at $13.51 on 2026-05-21, increasing her holdings by 6.0% to 66,900 shares total. The purchase occurs as AMLX trades at $13.01, down 30.0% from its 52-week high of $18.60 and down 11.7% over the past 30 days. Notably, Firestone's prior two purchases at AMLX (2025-12-23 and 2024-09-05) both showed positive 90-day returns of 30.4% and 146.7% respectively, establishing a pattern of well-timed entries at this ticker. However, the company's fundamentals present significant headwinds: latest quarterly revenue is $0.00, full-year net income was $-41.3M, and annual revenue growth declined 100.0% year-over-year, indicating an unprofitable business in significant financial distress.

Co-CEO Klee sells 138,188 shares in 2 transactions for $1.9M as AMLX stock surges 37.7% in 30 days

Klee Justin B., Co-Chief Executive Officer, executed 2 separate sales totaling 138,188 shares for $1,877,569.83 (blended average $13.59) on January 15-16, 2026. These sales represent a 3.9% reduction in his post-transaction holdings of 3,379,398 shares. The timing coincides with a sharp 37.7% rally over the preceding 30 days and placement near the 52-week high of $16.55, where the current price sits. The sales occurred while AMLX faces severe financial headwinds: the company reported zero revenue in the latest quarter, a negative net income of $-34,386,000, and annual revenue contraction of -77.1% year-over-year. A Co-CEO's substantial share disposition during a period of momentum, combined with the company's deteriorating operational metrics and cash burn, is material for investors evaluating management's commitment relative to public fundamentals.

AMLX Co-CEO Cohen sold 138,167 shares ($1.9M) at $13.59–$13.83; holds 3.38M shares post-sale as stock hits 52-week high of $16.55.

Co-Chief Executive Officer Joshua B Cohen executed 2 separate sales totaling 138,167 shares for $1,878,093.81 on January 15–16, 2026, at prices of $13.59 and $13.83. The current stock price of $16.55 is at the 52-week high, representing a +37.7% move over 30 days and +11.7% over 90 days. This sale reduces Cohen's holdings by 3.9% from 3,517,632 shares to 3,379,465 shares, but he retains substantial equity stake as Co-CEO. Notably, the company reported $0.00 revenue in its latest quarter and a net loss of $-34,386,000.00 for its most recent full fiscal year, with annual revenue declining -77.1%. The sale occurred as the stock neared or reached its 52-week peak, while the underlying business remains unprofitable with severely contracted revenues.

Significance 6

Director Karen Firestone bought 8,100 shares of AMLX at $12.45 on 2025-12-23, now valued 22% below 52-week high amid -77.1% revenue decline.

Karen Firestone, a Director at Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, purchased 8,100 shares at $12.45, adding to her position (now 63,100 shares post-transaction) during a period of significant stock weakness: the current price of $12.31 is -22.0% from the 52-week high and down 30-day change: -16.1%. The company faces severe operational headwinds—annual revenue growth has contracted by -77.1% year-over-year, net income was $-34,386,000.00 for the latest period, and quarterly revenue stands at $0.00, signaling a critical challenge in commercialization or market demand. Firestone's cross-ticker track record shows her prior open-market buys generated strong returns (avg 90d return +146.7%, 100.00% win rate), though her same-ticker history at AMLX includes only one measurable prior buy (2024-09-05, which returned +146.7% over 90 days); this current purchase occurs as the stock has declined materially from recent highs. The buy is discretionary and open-market, distinct from any scheduled trading plan, and occurs in the context of deteriorating fundamentals and ongoing stock weakness.

Director Zeiher buys 10,000 shares of AMLX at $3.70; stock down 46.2% from 52-week high amid -77.1% annual revenue decline and $-72.7M net loss.

Bernhardt G. Zeiher, as a director, initiated a 10,000-share position in Amylyx Pharmaceuticals at $3.70 on 2025-03-20, spending $37,005.00 in total value. This purchase occurs in a severely challenged operating environment: the company posted a net loss of $-72.7M in its most recent full fiscal year, latest quarterly revenue of only $416.0K, and an annual revenue decline of -77.1% year-over-year. The stock is currently trading at $3.78, still -46.2% from its 52-week high of $7.03, suggesting the market has already priced in substantial losses of confidence. The timing of this insider acquisition coincides with the stock trading near historically depressed levels within its 52-week range, though it has recovered +14.6% over the past 30 days. Without visibility into the director's broader portfolio strategy or prior transaction history at this ticker, the purchase represents a discrete open-market acquisition at a point when both the company's financial trajectory and the stock's valuation reflect severe operational distress.

Significance 6

CFO James M. Frates purchases 40,000 AMLX shares at $2.53, boosting stake 20.7%; part of cluster buy pattern with 2 other insiders in past 14 days

James M. Frates, CFO of Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, purchased 40,000 shares at $2.53 on 2024-09-12, increasing his holding by +20.7% to 233,464 shares total. The transaction occurs as the stock trades 87.2% below its 52-week high, and notably coincides with a cluster pattern in which 2 other insiders also purchased within the past 14 days. AMLX's fundamentals are severely distressed: the latest quarter showed $-1,023,000 revenue and $-72,700,000 net loss, though annual revenue growth is reported at +1612.9% (likely reflecting a recent pivot or acquisition-driven baseline expansion). Frates' prior open-market history shows a 100.00% well-timed rate on sells at the 90-day mark across his cross-ticker track record, signaling disciplined capital allocation decisions; however, his two prior sales at AMLX specifically (both on 2023-05-16) also demonstrated 90-day well-timing, with the stock declining -22.1% and -24.0% after those exits. This buy at a multi-year trough, paired with coordinated insider accumulation, contrasts with his recent history of tactical selling but warrants attention given the company's ongoing cash burn and depressed valuation context.

Significance 4

Director Karen Firestone buys 50,000 shares of AMLX at $2.13; stock down 88.1% from 52-week high.

Firestone purchased 50,000 shares at $2.13 on 2024-09-05, increasing her holdings to 55,000 shares from 5,000 shares. The stock now trades at $2.52, down 88.1% from the 52-week high of $21.19. Amylyx Pharmaceuticals is unprofitable with net income of $-72,700,000.00 in the latest quarter, though it reported annual revenue growth of +1612.9% year-over-year. Her prior open-market buy at this ticker showed a 90-day return of -78.8%, indicating a pattern of unfavorable timing outcomes. This buy occurred near a relative local bottom (stock has rebounded +44.8% over the past 90 days), but without scheduled trading plan disclosure, the context for this discretionary purchase—amid massive losses and a collapsed valuation—remains unclear.

Director Milne purchases 100,000 shares of AMLX at $2.20; stock down 89.9% from 52-week high of $21.82

Director George M Milne Jr purchased 100,000 shares at $2.20 on 2024-09-03, increasing his holdings by 13.2% to 858,571 shares. The purchase occurs at a severe discount: the stock is trading at -89.9% from its 52-week high of $21.82, though it has recovered 24.3% over the past 90 days and 11.7% over the past 30 days. The company is unprofitable with a net income of $-72,700,000.00 for the latest quarter and negative quarterly revenue of $-1,023,000.00, though annual revenue growth stands at 1612.9%. The combination of substantial insider accumulation at a deeply depressed valuation alongside extreme profitability losses presents a material disclosure event that warrants examination of whether this reflects conviction in a recovery thesis or other strategic considerations driving the transaction.
