Significance 4/10

Director COURT sold 11,163 shares of AX at $101.01 on 2026-02-06, reducing stake by 25.8% to 32.2K shares.

Director COURT sold 11,163 shares at $101.01, the exact 52-week high, reducing his holdings from 43.3K to 32.2K shares in a single transaction valued at $1,127,574.63. His prior sale at this ticker on 2024-11-05 posted a 90-day return of +2.4%, indicating the stock rose after his previous exit. The company trades at a P/E of 12.53 with $128.4M in net income against $8.4M quarterly revenue, reflecting strong profitability. The 25.8% reduction in holdings at the peak price point warrants tracking alongside broader market positioning.

CEO Garrabrants sells 43,294 shares (AX) at $99.10 for $4.3M; retains 1.42M shares post-sale after 5-prior sell pattern at same ticker all well-timed at 90-day mark

Garrabrants Gregory, as President and CEO of Axos Financial, sold 43,294 shares at $99.10 on 2026-02-04 for $4,290,392.11, reducing his holdings to 1,416,229 shares. The transaction is notable in light of a striking historical pattern: his prior five trades at AX (all sales, spanning 2023–2024) demonstrated 100% timing accuracy at the 90-day mark, with each sale followed by negative 90-day returns ranging from -12.4% to -20.2%. This current sale occurs at $99.10, just 0.0% below the 52-week high of $101.01, after a 30-day gain of +11.1% and a 90-day gain of +24.8%. The confluence of elevated valuation, elevated recent momentum, and his consistent pattern of well-timed exits at this ticker—all five prior sales proved prescient—suggests this transaction warrants close monitoring of the stock's near-term performance. An investor should track whether this sale precedes a reversal similar to the insider's prior outcomes.

Significance 4/10

EVP Finance Micheletti sells 13,960 shares of AX at $85.38; holds 67,460 post-transaction as stock near 52-week high.

Micheletti sold 13,960 shares (-17.1% reduction from his 81,420-share pre-transaction holdings) at $85.38 on 2025-08-04, when AX was trading 0.8% below its 52-week high of $86.60. His prior five sales at AX have generated positive 90-day returns in all observable periods (ranging from +1.0% to +28.1%), with a timing pattern showing 0 of 5 prior sales were well-timed—meaning the stock rose after each sale rather than declining. The current transaction occurs while the stock is near its 52-week peak, continuing a pattern where this insider's AX sales have preceded further upside. With fundamentals showing -1.0% annual revenue decline and a low P/E of 11.33, the signal is neutral rather than concerning—this appears to be moderate portfolio reduction by an executive with a consistent historical pattern of selling into strength at this ticker.

Significance 5/10

Director Paul Grinberg sold 30,000 AX shares at $68.09 on 2025-05-05; retains 113,295 shares post-transaction.

Paul Grinberg, a Director, sold 30,000 shares of Axos Financial (20.9% reduction in his holdings) for $2,042,700.00 on 2025-05-05. The sale occurred at $68.09 per share, while the stock currently trades at $67.10, representing a marginal 1.4% premium to today's price. Axos trades at a P/E of 8.85 with a market cap of $3,782,634,339.00; latest quarterly revenue stands at $8,354,000.00 with net income of $105,206,000.00, though annual revenue growth is negative at -1.0%. The director's track record across all tickers shows only 1 prior buy, providing limited context for assessing pattern. This discrete sale materially reduces his stake while leaving substantial holdings (113,295 shares), occurring in a market environment where AX is down 22.5% from its 52-week high of $86.60 but up 17.5% over the past 30 days.

Director Sara Wardell-Smith bought 3,000 shares of AX at $64.73, adding 41.4% to holdings; stock now -25.6% from 52-week high.

Sara Wardell-Smith, a Director, purchased 3,000 shares at $64.73, increasing her holdings from 7,250 to 10,250 shares—a 41.4% expansion of her stake. The stock is presently $64.43, down 25.6% from its 52-week high of $86.60 and down 6.5% in the 30-day window. Wardell-Smith's prior buy at this ticker (2024-03-15) achieved a 90-day return of +7.5%, representing well-timed entry; her cross-ticker track record shows 1 buy with an average 90-day return of +7.5% and a 100.00% win rate. The company trades at a P/E of 8.50 with a market cap of $3.7B, though recent quarterly revenue of $8.4M reflects flat annual growth (-1.0% year-over-year). This purchase occurs amid a recent multi-month pullback, distinct from a 52-week peak context.

Significance 7/10

CEO Gregory Garrabrants sold 125,000 shares at blended avg $81.89 for $10.2M, reducing stake 8.5%; repeats prior profitable exit pattern.

Gregory Garrabrants, President and CEO of Axos Financial, executed 2 separate sales on 2024-11-06 totaling 125,000 shares for $10,235,946.00 at an average price of $81.89. His holding now stands at 1,340,377 shares post-transaction. His prior 4 sales at Axos all exhibited negative 90-day returns (ranging from -12.4% to -22.0%), with a 4 of 4 perfect well-timed rate at the 90-day mark. The current stock price is $80.62, only -1.1% from its 52-week high of $81.55, and the 30-day change shows +32.2% and 90-day change shows +23.8%, indicating the timing of this sale occurred near an intermediate peak. This sale pattern mirrors his established same-ticker history: all prior Axos sales preceded or coincided with subsequent declines, suggesting consistent discipline in capital deployment timing at this issuer.

Significance 5/10

Director Court James John sold 16,887 AX shares at $67.29 on 2024-11-05; held 40,970 post-transaction (-29.2%)

Court James John disposed of 16,887 shares (16.9K shares) in a single transaction at $67.29, reducing holdings from 57,857 to 40,970 shares—a reduction of 29.2% of pre-transaction holdings. The sale occurred near the current price environment ($79.33 now, -2.7% from 52-week high of $81.55), and AX has appreciated 31.6% over the prior 30 days and 21.8% over 90 days, suggesting the stock was trading in an elevated range at the time of sale. The company shows a P/E of 9.44 and market cap of $4,529,142,789.22, with latest-quarter revenue of $8,354,000.00 and substantial net income of $112,340,000.00, though annual revenue growth stands at -1.0%. A director reduction of nearly one-third of holdings warrants monitoring for context (whether planned, scheduled, or discretionary), but the transaction itself occurred within normal trading conditions without extraordinary price deterioration at the time of execution.

Significance 6/10

EVP Finance Andrew J Micheletti liquidates entire 45,197-share position at Axos Financial for $2,822,086.61 across 3 sales on 2024-09-09/10

Andrew J Micheletti, EVP of Finance at Axos Financial, executed 3 separate sales totaling 45,197 shares for $2,822,086.61, liquidating his entire post-transaction holdings to zero. The sales occurred at $63.13 on 2024-09-09 and $62.35 on 2024-09-10, with a blended average price of $62.44 compared to a current price of $61.43 and a 52-week high of $77.61. While his cross-ticker track record shows limited prior sales (2 trades with 0.00% well-timed rate at 90 days), his same-ticker history at AX shows 2 prior sells in March 2024 that were similarly poorly timed, with positive 90-day returns of +1.9% and +1.0% indicating the stock subsequently rose after each sale. The complete liquidation of holdings by a finance executive warrants observation, though the company trades at a P/E of 6.08 with a $3.5B market cap and recent quarterly net income of $110,720,000.00.
