Significance 5

Boyd Gaming CEO Keith Smith sold 100,000 shares at $85.90; stock now $88.38, up 5.1% in 30 days

Keith Smith, as President and CEO, sold 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) for $8,590,000.00 ($8.6M) on 2026-06-03 at $85.90, reducing his holdings to 996,981 shares (997.0K shares) from 1,096,981 shares (1.10M shares)—a -9.1% reduction. The current price of $88.38 reflects 30-day and 90-day gains of +5.1% and +10.3%, respectively, suggesting this particular sale was not ahead of a decline. His prior trades at Boyd Gaming show mixed timing outcomes: 3 of 5 prior sells resulted in negative 90-day returns, indicating occasional well-timed exits, though his most recent two August 2025 sales captured -2.2% and -0.7% 30-day declines. The company's fundamentals show strong profitability with Revenue $997,355,000.00 ($997.4M) and Net income $105,542,000.00 ($105.5M), paired with a low P/E of 3.58, which may support insider confidence in the underlying business despite the sale.

Significance 4

Chairman Marianne Boyd Johnson sells 100,000 BYD shares in two tranches near 52-week highs, continuing a pattern of open-market dispositions.

Marianne Boyd Johnson, Chairman of Boyd Gaming, sold approximately 100,000 shares across two transactions in early May, reducing her stake by roughly six percent. The timing is notable: the sales occurred near the company's 52-week high, before the stock pulled back over the following week. Johnson's prior Form 4 history over the past three years shows 15 open-market sales with no open-market purchases—this filing represents her 16th and 17th sales in the period, making it part of a consistent pattern of disposition rather than a tactical move. Looking at how her prior sales at Boyd Gaming specifically played out, the results are mixed: three of her five prior exits saw the stock rise afterward (poorly timed), while two saw the stock decline (well-timed exits). The company itself remains profitable with solid revenue growth, and the stock continues to trade well below its 52-week high, suggesting fundamental weakness despite the near-term sale timing. As a director and major shareholder, Johnson's continued selling without any offsetting purchases over three years may warrant monitoring for signal of reduced conviction, though the absolute share count remains substantial.

Significance 5

CFO Josh Hirsberg sold 23,924 shares of BYD at $85.86 on 2026-02-26 for $2,054,114.64

CFO Josh Hirsberg executed a sale of 23,924 shares at $85.86, reducing his holdings by 5.2% to 435,746 shares post-transaction. The sale occurred near the 52-week high (within 7.9%), and at a price premium of $3.37 relative to the current market price of $82.49. Hirsberg's prior three sales at BYD show mixed timing outcomes: two of the three prior sales (66.67%) were well-timed at the 90-day mark, suggesting a partial pattern of selling ahead of declines, though his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90d return of -7.7% after sells (well-timed rate 66.67%). The company carries a notably low P/E of 1.98 with positive fundamentals (quarterly net income of $1,439,993,000.00 and annual revenue growth of +4.1%), which does not obviously signal distress. The transaction warrants monitoring for whether this sale signals confidence in current valuations versus material insight about near-term prospects.

CAO Thompson sold 19,530 BYD shares (-47.0% of holdings) at $83.59; all 3 prior BYD sales were well-timed (90d declines).

Thompson Stephen S., Chief Administrative Officer, sold 19,530 shares (19.5K shares) of Boyd Gaming Corp at $83.59 on 2026-02-27, reducing holdings from 41,539 shares to 22,009 shares. His prior trade history at Boyd Gaming shows a strong timing pattern: all 3 previous sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with average 90-day returns of -7.0% (2025-08-01), -16.2% (2024-03-04), and -18.5% (2023-08-01). The current stock price of $82.49 is -7.9% from the 52-week high of $89.56 and the company carries a notably low P/E of 1.98 despite reporting $1.4B in net income on $1.0B revenue last quarter. The pattern of consistent well-timed exits at this ticker—coupled with a -47.0% reduction in his stake—merits observation, though the disposal size and established insider pattern suggest this transaction warrants attention for monitoring the timing outcome relative to Boyd's near-term price action.

Boyd (Director) sold 30,000 shares at $84.84 for $2.5M; retains 1.93M shares post-sale.

Director William R. Boyd sold 30,000 shares of BYD at $84.84 on 2026-02-18, reducing holdings by 1.5% to 1,930,447 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $89.56 (current price $85.06 is -5.0% from that peak). Across his same-ticker history at BYD, only 1 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, and the most recent sale on 2025-11-07 saw the stock gain 0.6% in 30 days and 4.1% in 90 days—poorly timed outcomes. This pattern of mixed execution on timing—combined with the director retaining substantial holdings (1.93M shares) even post-sale—suggests routine portfolio activity rather than a high-conviction directional signal.

Director William R. Boyd sold 20,000 BYD shares at $80.36; cross-ticker timing track record shows 50.00% well-timed rate on 10 prior sells.

William R. Boyd, a director of Boyd Gaming, sold 20,000 shares on 2025-11-07 at $80.36, reducing his holdings from 1,980,447 to 1,960,447 shares. The sale occurred when BYD was trading 7.4% below its 52-week high of $87.38 and down 1.5% over 30 days. Across his cross-ticker insider trading history, Boyd's 10 prior open-market sells show a 50.00% well-timed rate (measured by negative 90-day returns), with an average 90-day return of +0.6%—meaning his sales historically have not consistently preceded declines. At this specific ticker, BYD, his prior 5 trades were 2 of 5 well-timed at the 90-day mark (40% rate), with mixed outcomes; notably, three of five recent sales at BYD were followed by strong 90-day gains (+22.0%, +24.7%, and +7.7%), suggesting his recent sells at this ticker have been poorly timed. Fundamentally, Boyd Gaming shows a low P/E of 3.37, $1.0B quarterly revenue, and +5.1% annual growth, which may complicate any narrative around deteriorating conviction.

Boyd Gaming Executive Chairman Marianne Boyd sold 100,000 shares at $86.62 for $8.7M on 2025-09-04.

Marianne Boyd, Executive Chairman, sold 100,000 shares for $8,662,000.00 at $86.62 on 2025-09-04, reducing holdings from 1,804,379 shares to 1,704,379 shares. The transaction occurred near the 52-week high of $87.28, with the stock at -0.9% from that peak. Boyd's cross-ticker track record shows 9 prior open-market sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 75.00%, indicating a pattern of selling ahead of subsequent declines. At Boyd Gaming specifically, her same-ticker history is mixed: 2 of 4 measurable prior sales showed negative 90-day returns (well-timed), while the other 2 showed substantial gains afterward (poorly timed). The stock has climbed +3.8% over the past 30 days and +16.7% over 90 days, supported by fundamentals including $1.0B quarterly revenue, $151.5M net income, and a low P/E of 12.28. The timing of this sale near a 52-week high, combined with her established pattern of well-timed sells in her cross-ticker history, warrants monitoring for what may signal anticipated near-term weakness at the company level.

CFO Josh Hirsberg sold 40,035 shares of Boyd Gaming at $85.41; stock near 52-week high of $86.73.

Josh Hirsberg, CFO & Treasurer, sold 40,035 shares of Boyd Gaming on 2025-08-22 at $85.41, reducing his holdings from 460,220 to 420,185 shares (an 8.7% reduction). The sale occurred when the stock was -0.6% from its 52-week high of $86.73, suggesting the CFO executed the transaction near the upper end of its recent valuation range. Hirsberg's cross-ticker track record shows a 50.00% well-timed sell rate (2 prior sells with average 90d return of -7.3%), but at Boyd Gaming specifically, his timing has been mixed: a 2024-11-06 sale was followed by +7.3% gains, while a 2024-02-29 sale preceded a -21.9% decline. The company's fundamentals remain solid with $1.0B quarterly revenue, $151.5M net income, 5.1% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 12.25, providing no obvious distress signal.

CEO Keith Smith sold 25,000 BYD shares at $85.21; holdings reduced to 1,046,689 shares (-2.3%)

CEO Keith Smith sold 25,000 shares at $85.21 on 2025-08-22, reducing his holdings to 1,046,689 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $86.73 (-1.2% from peak) and follows two additional BYD sales on 2025-08-19 and 2025-08-18, suggesting a recent pattern of concentrated selling activity. At Boyd Gaming's fundamentals (Revenue $1,033,998,000.00, P/E 12.17, Market cap $6,868,578,828.98), this modest -2.3% reduction in CEO holdings is not material to overall position size. However, his same-ticker history shows 0 of 3 prior measurable sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark (prior 90d outcomes: +10.1%, +9.4%, +5.7%), indicating the stock subsequently rose after each prior sale, opposite to the insider's timing advantage.

Significance 5

Boyd Gaming CEO Keith Smith sold 75,000 shares for $6,252,250 on 2025-08-18/19 at blended average $83.36.

Keith Smith, President and CEO of Boyd Gaming, executed 2 separate sales totaling 75,000 shares for $6,252,250 at prices near the 52-week high (currently $83.57, -3.6% from $86.73 high). His post-transaction holdings remain substantial at 1,071,689 shares (-6.5% reduction). Historically at Boyd Gaming specifically, Smith's 5 prior sales yielded mixed timing: 2 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, but recent November 2024 sales saw the stock rise 9.4%–10.1% over 90 days after sale. The absence of a 10b5-1 plan FLAG and scheduled date FLAGS suggests discretionary timing, yet the execution near recent highs and the stock's subsequent modest decline (30-day +1.2%) does not yet establish a clear forward signal; the company's fundamentals remain solid with 5.1% annual revenue growth and a P/E of 11.87.
