Significance 4

Co-President John P. Zito sells 48,644 shares at blended $130.66; retains 3.06M shares post-sale

John P. Zito executed 3 separate sales totaling 48,644 shares for $6,355,707.66 on 2026-05-27, with transaction prices ranging from $129.95 to $131.68 and a blended average price of $130.66. The sale represents a 1.6% reduction from his pre-transaction holding of 3,112,340 shares, leaving him with a substantial post-transaction position of 3.06M shares, indicating continued material ownership. The transaction occurred when the stock was trading near the lower end of its 52-week range—currently $127.51, down 18.9% from the 52-week high of $157.28—after recent positive price momentum (90-day: +21.9%, 30-day: +3.2%). The company's fundamentals show a $-1.9B net loss in the latest quarter despite $5.1B revenue and 22.7% annual revenue growth, reflecting significant operational or valuation challenges that warrant investor attention to the underlying business health and the co-president's assessment of near-term stock value.

Apollo CFO Kelly Martin sells 7,000 shares at $134.64 for $942,514.30, retaining 401,067 shares post-transaction.

This filing contains multiple separate transactions: a sale of 7,000 shares at $134.64 on 2026-05-14 for $942,514.30, plus two additional zero-priced dispositions of 415 and 155 shares on 2026-05-14 and 2026-05-15, respectively. Kelly Martin's cross-ticker track record across 11 prior sells shows an average 90-day return of -11.1% and a 90-day well-timed rate of 88.89%. At APO specifically, 4 of 5 prior sells registered negative 90-day returns — meaning at the 90-day mark those sells proved well-timed — with the most recent prior sale on 2025-12-01 showing a 30-day return of +10.2% and a separate 90-day return of -20.4%. On the fundamentals side, Apollo reported a net income of $-1,906,000,000.00 in the latest quarter against revenue of $5,059,000,000.00, while the stock sits -13.9% from its 52-week high despite a 30-day gain of +12.3%.

APO Chief Legal Officer Chatterjee Whitney sells 8,500 shares at $146.03; stock down -20.0% YoY revenue growth, prior APO sells 75% well-timed at 90-day mark.

Chatterjee Whitney sold 8,500 shares (8.5K shares) of APO at $146.03 on 2025-12-10, reducing his holdings from 83.2K to 74.7K shares. His prior trades at APO show a strong pattern: 3 of 4 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent sale on 2025-08-06 posting a -9.9% 30-day return and -10.6% 90-day return. Against this backdrop, the company faces material headwinds—annual revenue contracted by -20.0% year-over-year despite a $9.8B revenue base and $1.7B net income in the latest quarter. The stock is currently 17.1% below its 52-week high, suggesting the market has already priced in some distress. This sale fits a demonstrated pattern of well-timed APO sales; whether it signals ahead of further declines or reflects routine portfolio management at an opportune price will become clearer in the coming months.

CFO Kelly Martin sold 6,000 APO shares at $131.41; 4 of 5 prior APO sales were well-timed with negative 90-day returns.

Kelly Martin, CFO of Apollo Global Management, sold 6,000 shares (6.0K shares) of APO at $131.41 on 2025-12-01 for $788,433.60 ($788.4K), retaining 324,569 shares (324.6K shares) post-transaction. His prior five trades at APO show a strong pattern of well-timed exits: four of five prior sells were followed by negative 90-day returns (-6.2%, -5.9%, -10.0%, -27.4%), indicating consistent sell-side accuracy at this ticker. Notably, the stock is currently -24.7% from its 52-week high ($178.61) and fundamental headwinds are visible—annual revenue contracted -20.0% year-over-year despite current net income of $1.7B on $9.8B quarterly revenue. The cross-ticker track record supports timing discipline: a 90-day well-timed rate of 87.50% across prior sales with an average 90-day return of -9.9%, suggesting the CFO's sell decisions have historically preceded stock declines. This transaction extends a demonstrable pattern of well-timed capital reduction at APO.

BLACK LEON D sold 915,000 shares of APO for $122.6M on 2025-09-04; 4 of 5 prior APO sales well-timed by 90d mark.

Black Leon D executed a substantial open-market sale of 915,000 shares (16.8% of his pre-transaction holdings) at $134.03, reducing his position from 5.44M to 4.53M shares and generating $122.6M in proceeds. His cross-ticker track record shows a 95.00% well-timed rate on prior sells with an average 90-day return of -13.4%, and critically, at Apollo specifically, 4 of his 5 prior sells registered negative 90-day returns, indicating consistent foresight in exiting before declines. The current price of $134.44 sits -24.7% from the 52-week high and down 5.3% over the past 30 days, aligning with the pattern of post-sale price deterioration his transaction history demonstrates. Investors should note both the scale of the position reduction and the demonstrated timing acuity at this specific ticker, which may signal expectations about near-term headwinds despite APO's current $76.9B market capitalization.

CFO Kelly Martin sold 15,500 shares at $145.11 avg ($2.2M); post-sale holdings 331.6K shares. Prior 4-of-5 APO sells well-timed.

Kelly Martin, CFO of Apollo Global Management, executed 2 separate sales totaling 15,500 shares for $2,249,230.34 at an average price of $145.11 on 2025-08-12, reducing holdings by 4.5% to 331,604 shares. The current stock price of $140.68 is -21.2% from the 52-week high of $178.61, and Apollo's annual revenue growth is -20.0%, indicating deteriorating fundamentals. Martin's same-ticker history shows a strong pattern: 4 of 5 prior sells at APO were well-timed, with negative 90-day returns following the sales, suggesting a demonstrated ability to exit before declines at this specific security. The cross-ticker track record compounds this signal: an 83.33% well-timed rate on 8 prior open-market sells with an average 90-day return of -10.0%, indicating this insider consistently sells into relative strength before downturns.

Significance 5

Chief Legal Officer Chatterjee Whitney sold 4,500 shares of APO at $146.03 on 2025-08-06, reducing stake by 5.1% to 83.2K shares.

Chatterjee Whitney sold 4,500 shares at $146.03, representing a 5.1% reduction in his Apollo Global Management stake. The sale occurred at a price $4.92 above the current $141.11 level and 17.9% below the 52-week high of $178.61. His cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 66.67%, while his prior APO trades (2 of 3 sells well-timed at the 90-day mark) suggest a pattern of selling ahead of weakness. However, with annual revenue growth at -20.0% and the stock already down 21.0% from its 52-week high, the timing context here differs from the conditions of his prior APO sales in late 2024, when those declines unfolded after the trades.

Director Pauline Richards purchases 550 APO shares at $141.95; 90-day track record 100% win rate, prior APO buy gained +32.9% in 90 days.

Director Pauline Richards purchased 550 shares of Apollo Global Management at $141.95 on 2025-05-12, adding to a position that now stands at 86,404 shares. The trade occurs within context of mixed recent performance: the stock is down 18.8% from its 52-week high of $178.61 but up 15.2% over the past 30 days. Richards' own prior trading activity at this ticker shows a single buy executed on 2024-08-06 that delivered a 90-day return of +32.9%, marking a well-timed entry. Across all her open-market history and tickers, she has completed 1 prior buy with a 100% win rate at the 90-day horizon and an average 90-day return of +32.9%. The timing pattern shows her prior buy was well-timed, establishing a precedent of favorable execution, though the current position remains modest in size relative to her existing holdings (net change of +0.6%).

CFO Kelly Martin sold 4,000 APO shares at $132.57; stock down 27.6% from 52-week high, revenue fell 20% YoY

Kelly Martin, Apollo's CFO, sold 4,000 shares for $530,272.00 on 2025-05-06, reducing holdings from 376,934 to 372,934 shares. The transaction occurred at $132.57, while the current price is $129.34—placing the stock 27.6% below its 52-week high of $178.61. Martin's prior trades at Apollo show a strong 90-day timing pattern: 4 of 4 measurable prior sells at this ticker were well-timed, with negative 90-day returns of -15.1%, -6.7%, -3.9%, and combined -7.4%/-6.9% on duplicate-date trades. More broadly, his cross-ticker track record across 7 prior sells demonstrates a 100.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day horizon, though with a -14.5% average 90-day return. Concurrently, Apollo's fundamentals have deteriorated: annual revenue contracted 20.0% year-over-year to $5,548,000,000, and the P/E of 20.56 suggests the stock trades at a premium despite revenue declines. This sale adds to a pattern of disciplined exit activity by the CFO amid deteriorating financial conditions.
