McCarthy J Kevin Sell
SEVP & General Counsel
30,000 shares
$4,094,919
@ $136.50
Significance 5/10

McCarthy sold 30,000 BK shares at $136.50 on 2026-04-17; stock now at $137.92 (52-week high). 37.4% position reduction.

Kevin McCarthy, SEVP & General Counsel at Bank of New York Mellon, sold 30,000 shares (37.4% of his pre-transaction holdings of 80.2K shares) at $136.50 on 2026-04-17, realizing $4.1M. The stock has since rallied 0.0% to its 52-week high of $137.92, and McCarthy retains 50.2K shares post-transaction. His cross-ticker track record across five prior sales shows an average 90-day return of +8.8%, indicating his sells have historically underperformed relative to subsequent price appreciation. At Bank of New York Mellon specifically, McCarthy has executed five prior sales, two of which were well-timed at the 90-day mark; the most recent sale on 2025-07-22 also failed to precede a decline, with a +10.2% 90-day return. The transaction occurs at elevated levels for BK—at the current 52-week high—though the stock's 20.0% surge over the prior 30 days preceded the sale, and BK's fundamentals remain solid with $1.4B net income on $2.9B revenue in the latest quarter and a P/E of 15.12.

McCarthy J Kevin Sell
SEVP & General Counsel
20,000 shares
$1,969,000
@ $98.45
Significance 5/10

McCarthy sells 20,000 BK shares at $98.45; stock at $99.97 (52-week high); 66.67% of prior sells well-timed

Kevin McCarthy, SEVP & General Counsel at Bank of New York Mellon, sold 20,000 shares (35.1K remaining) at $98.45 on 2025-07-22, reducing his stake by 36.3%. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $99.97, with BK up 9.6% over 30 days and 27.1% over 90 days. Examining his trade history at BK specifically, 2 of 3 prior measurable sales (on 2024-04-19 and 2024-10-15) were well-timed, with the April 2024 sale followed by a 13.1% 90-day gain (stock rose after he exited). His broader cross-ticker track record shows 66.67% of prior sells were well-timed, though his cross-ticker average 90-day return after sells was +2.2%, indicating the stocks generally rose post-sale. The current transaction occurs as BK trades at its annual high and the company reports strong fundamentals (P/E 15.15, net income $1.2B, annual revenue growth +6.4%), leaving the forward signal ambiguous relative to observable price action and historical pattern.

McCarthy J Kevin Sell
SEVP & General Counsel
30,000 shares
$2,370,900
@ $79.03
Significance 4/10

McCarthy (SEVP & General Counsel) sold 30,000 BK shares at $79.03 on 2025-04-29; post-trade holdings 55,114 shares (-35.2%).

McCarthy sold 30,000 shares (30.0K shares) at $79.03 for $2,370,900.00, reducing his stake by 35.2% to 55,114 shares. The sale occurred near recent price levels, with the stock now trading at $80.91, approximately 9.0% below its 52-week high of $88.95. His cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 66.67% across 3 prior sales, though at BK specifically, 2 of 3 prior sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The company's fundamentals remain solid: $2.9B quarterly revenue, $1.2B net income, and 6.4% annual growth, with a P/E of 12.02 and $58.0B market cap. This sale represents a material reduction in his holdings but does not signal obvious directional conviction given the moderate stock valuation and his mixed near-term timing history at this ticker.

Keating Catherine Sell
Sr. Exec. Vice President
65,473 shares
$5,061,687
@ $77.31
Significance 5/10

BK Sr EVP Keating sold 65.5K shares at $77.31 (total $5.1M); holds 87.5K post-sale, down 42.8%.

Keating sold 65,473 shares at $77.31, reducing her stake by 42.8% from 153,015 to 87,542 shares. This represents a material reduction in her BK position with a total transaction value of $5,061,687.49. Contexting this against her prior sales at BK: in 2024 she sold twice and neither sale was well-timed at the 90-day mark (the 2024-04-18 sale was followed by +16.8% gain, and 2024-01-16 by only +0.1%), meaning her prior BK sales preceded periods of appreciation rather than declines. Stock BK currently trades at $75.73, down 14.9% from its 52-week high of $88.95 and down 8.1% over the past 30 days, placing her sale price of $77.31 above current levels but well below recent peaks. The transaction occurred on 2025-04-14 against a backdrop of modest fundamentals (P/E 11.25, +6.4% annual revenue growth).

Smits Hanneke Sell
Sr. Exec. Vice President

$1,259,869
@ $76.47
Significance 5/10

BK Sr. EVP Smits sold 16,474 shares at $76.47 (10/15/24); stock now at $77.75, near 52-week high.

Hanneke Smits sold 16,474 shares on 2024-10-15 at $76.47, reducing her holdings by 9.5% to 157,455 shares. The sale totaled $1,259,868.79 at a price near the company's 52-week high of $77.75 (within $1.28 of the peak).

Bank of New York Mellon's fundamentals remain solid with $2.9B quarterly revenue (+6.9% annual growth), $1.2B net income, and a P/E of 16.68. The timing of this sale near the 52-week high, combined with the stock's recent 9.8% 30-day and 24.0% 90-day appreciation, warrants observation alongside her historical trading pattern at this security.

@ $76.31
Significance 5/10

McCarthy (SEVP & General Counsel) sells 25,000 BK shares at $76.31 for $1.9M; stock now at 52-week high of $77.75

McCarthy J Kevin sold 25,000 shares (25.0K shares) at $76.31 on 2024-10-15, reducing his holdings by 24.9% to 75,403 shares.

At the same ticker, McCarthy's prior two sales showed mixed outcomes: the 2024-04-19 sale was followed by gains (+6.0% in 30d, +13.1% in 90d), while the 2023-07-19 sale preceded declines (-5.0% in 30d, -6.2% in 90d), yielding a 50% well-timed rate on same-ticker history. The company's fundamentals remain solid with recent quarterly net income of $1,168,000,000 and annual revenue growth of +6.9%, trading at a P/E of 16.68. The timing relative to technical levels and the substantial reduction in personal holdings warrant investor attention to any accompanying disclosure about motivation.

Smits Hanneke Sell
Sr. Exec. Vice President
15,000 shares
$961,620
@ $64.11
Significance 5/10

Smits Hanneke sells 15,000 BK shares at $64.11; stock now $62.69, down 4.6% from 52-week high

Smits Hanneke, Sr. Exec. Vice President of Bank of New York Mellon Corp, sold 15,000 shares on 2024-07-18 at $64.11, reducing holdings from 188.9K to 173.9K shares (-7.9%). The sale occurred near the 52-week high ($65.71); the stock has since retreated to $62.69 and is now down 4.6% from its peak. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sale with a 100.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, and his single prior trade at BK (a sell on 2024-01-16) also demonstrated favorable 90-day timing. The timing alignment here—selling into strength near annual highs—is consistent with his historical pattern, though the broader context of the stock's recent 30-day gain (+6.8%) and 90-day gain (+11.4%) suggests the executive disposed of shares following a meaningful rally rather than during a period of weakness.
