CWST CASELLA WASTE SYSTEMS INC Insider Trading

CEO Edmond Coletta sold 12,500 shares of CWST for $1,119,523.49 across 3 transactions at $89.56 blended average

Edmond Coletta, PRESIDENT & CEO, executed 3 separate sales totaling 12,500 shares for $1,119,523.49 on 2026-05-19 at a blended average price of $89.56. His post-transaction holdings remain substantial at 140,118 shares, representing an 8.2% reduction from prior holdings of 152,618 shares. The current stock price of $87.30 is 26.6% below the 52-week high of $118.91, and his sale prices of $89.03, $90.00, and $90.07 were executed in that elevated range relative to today's market. At the company level, fundamentals show a mixed picture: annual revenue growth of 18.0% demonstrates commercial momentum, yet the latest quarterly net income stands at $-5,539,000.00 against revenue of $457,328,000.00, and the P/E ratio of 727.50 reflects the negative earnings context. His prior sales at CWST show mixed timing outcomes—2 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent sale on 2025-12-08 showing 30d +0.8% and 90d -6.0%, suggesting the stock declined after that trade.

CWST President Coletta Edmond sold 7,000 shares at $100.07; stock now $96.62, down -19.7% from 52-week high.

Coletta Edmond, CWST President, sold 7,000 shares (7.0K shares) at $100.07 on 2025-12-08, reducing holdings by 4.7% to 141,093 shares. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $120.37 before the recent 19.7% decline to the current price of $96.62. Among his five prior sales at CWST, only one of five (20%) proved well-timed at the 90-day mark—a relatively low accuracy rate. His cross-ticker track record shows an 11.11% well-timed rate across 10 prior sells, suggesting this insider's sell timing has historically underperformed. The company's fundamentals show a P/E of 420.09 (extreme) against $485.4M quarterly revenue and +23.2% annual revenue growth, alongside a thin net income of $10.0M, indicating valuation stretched relative to earnings. The stock is up +9.7% over 30 days despite the broader 19.7% decline from its peak, creating ambiguity about inflection timing.

CEO John Casella sells 18,093 shares (61.3% of holdings) at $119.87; stock near 52-week high; P/E 515.22 despite -$4.8M net loss

CEO John W. Casella sold 18,093 shares at $119.87 on 2025-05-08, reducing his stake by 61.3% to 11,416 shares remaining. The sale occurred near the 52-week high ($120.37, just 1.6% below peak), following strong recent momentum (+6.6% in 30 days, +9.7% in 90 days). At same-ticker CWST history, his prior four measurable 90-day outcomes showed mixed results: two well-timed and two poorly timed, without a clear directional pattern. The company's fundamentals present a tension: annualized revenue growth of 23.2% and $417.1M quarterly revenue, yet the most recent quarter recorded a $4.8M net loss, and the P/E ratio of 515.22 reflects heavy valuation relative to current earnings. This large open-market sale by the chief executive during a peak-valuation period, while the company operates unprofitably, merits investor scrutiny of both the company's near-term profitability trajectory and the significance of this material reduction in insider ownership.

CWST President Edmond sells 5,562 shares at $119.18 (near 52-week highs); holds 150,093 post-sale

Coletta Edmond, CWST President, sold 5,562 shares at $119.18, reducing his holdings by 3.6% to 150,093 shares. The sale occurred at $119.18, very close to the current price of $120.25 and near the 52-week high of $120.37, following a 15.6% 30-day price gain. Notably, Edmond has executed 5 prior sales at CWST since early March 2025, with 30-day post-sale returns ranging from +0.5% to +10.6%, indicating the stock continued rising after each prior sale. His cross-ticker track record shows 9 prior sells across all tickers with an average 90-day return of +8.1% and a 0.00% well-timed rate, meaning his sales historically have been followed by stock appreciation rather than declines. The company reports $417.1M in latest-quarter revenue with annual growth of +23.2%, though net income is currently negative at $-4.8M and the P/E stands at 522.83, reflecting a market valuation that has outpaced earnings."

CWST: President Coletta Edmond sells 5,000 shares at $105.00 under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan from 2022

Coletta Edmond, as President, sold 5,000 shares at $105.00 on 2025-03-13 for $525,000.00, reducing holdings from 160,655 shares to 155,655 shares. This transaction is governed by a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2022-05-12, making it a scheduled disposition rather than a discretionary trading decision. Since the sale was executed under a pre-established plan, it reflects no new judgment about current company value or prospects. The sale represents a minor reduction of 3.1% of pre-transaction holdings, consistent with systematic plan execution.

VP Chairman Casella sells 5,387 shares at blended average $111.94 for $603,028.32 on March 10, 2025

Douglas R. Casella, Vice Chairman of Casella Waste Systems, executed two separate sales totaling 5,387 shares (5.4K shares) for $603,028.32 on 2025-03-10 at a blended average price of $111.94. The current stock price of $105.14 is 9.2% below the 52-week high of $115.86, and the sales occurred when the stock was trading near the upper end of its recent range. His same-ticker history shows 4 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, indicating a pattern of selling ahead of subsequent declines; however, this observation reflects his historical behavior and does not characterize the timing of the current transaction itself. Post-transaction holdings remain substantial at 107,875 shares (107.9K shares), representing a 4.8% reduction from pre-transaction levels. The company's fundamentals show strong revenue growth of 23.2% year-over-year and $411.6M in latest quarterly revenue, though a P/E ratio of 457.13 reflects an extremely rich valuation.

Vice Chairman Douglas R Casella sold 20,000 CWST shares at $112.26 on 2024-11-22 for $2.2M; stock at 52-week high ($112.91).

Douglas R Casella, Vice Chairman, sold 20,000 shares (reducing holdings by -14.8% from 135,435 to 115,435 shares) at $112.26, a price within 0.0% of the 52-week high of $112.91. The sale occurred after a 12.9% gain over 30 days and 6.6% gain over 90 days. His prior trades at CWST show a consistent pattern: all 4 prior sell transactions were followed by negative 90-day returns, indicating well-timed exits. Notably, the stock is currently priced at the 52-week high, and this sale represents a reduction of material size from his holdings. The underlying business shows strong revenue growth of +16.5% year-over-year, though the P/E ratio is elevated at 245.46, warranting observation of whether near-peak-price sales by the Vice Chairman signal discretionary positioning in a high-valuation environment.

CEO John Casella sold 27,940 shares for $2,973,534.83 across three transactions Nov 14-15, reducing holdings by 72.3% to 10.7K shares.

John W. Casella, Chief Executive Officer of Casella Waste Systems Inc, executed three separate sales totaling 27,940 shares for $2,973,534.83, reducing his holdings from 38,669 shares to 10,729 shares—a 72.3% reduction in his position. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $106.32 to $108.84, with a blended average of $106.43, near the current price of $108.01 and within 1.7% of the 52-week high of $109.88. Examining his prior trading history at CWST, 2 of 3 prior measurable sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark (with negative post-sale returns), though his cross-ticker track record shows a 66.67% well-timed sell rate with an average 90-day return of -1.6%. The company's valuation context shows a P/E of 234.80 paired with modest net income of $5,771,000 against quarterly revenue of $411,627,000, suggesting stretched profitability metrics relative to scale. This large discretionary reduction in the CEO's direct ownership merits investor attention to understand strategic positioning and forward guidance."

CEO Casella sells 23,509 shares at blended $100.79 for $2.4M, reducing stake by 68.7%

John W. Casella, Chief Executive Officer of CASELLA WASTE SYSTEMS INC, executed 2 separate sales totaling 23,509 shares for $2,369,563.67 on 2024-11-05, at a blended average price of $100.79. This represents a 68.7% reduction in his post-transaction holdings to 10,729 shares. At the current price of $106.91, the shares he sold are now worth approximately $251,000 more, but evaluating timing against his prior transaction history at CWST shows mixed results: his 2024-02-28 sale gained 9.5% over 30 days and 10.2% over 90 days (poorly timed), while his August 2023 sales declined 1.3%–2.2% over 30 days and 7.3%–7.6% over 90 days (well-timed). The company's valuation metrics remain elevated, with a P/E of 232.41 despite solid revenue growth of 16.5% annually, warranting monitoring of whether the substantial reduction in insider holdings reflects changed conviction or routine liquidity management.

CWST President Coletta Edmond sells 20,000 shares ($2.0M) in 2 transactions at blended average $100.11

Coletta Edmond, President of Casella Waste Systems, executed 2 separate sales totaling 20,000 shares (20.0K shares) for $2,002,166.76 on 2024-11-04, reducing his holdings by 11.8% to 149,034 shares. At the transaction prices of $100.09 and $100.62 (blended $100.11), the sales occurred just below the current price of $101.82 and within the 52-week range. His prior trade history at CWST shows mixed timing results: a February 2024 sale was well-timed with a 90d return of +10.1%, while an August 2023 sale was poorly timed with a 90d return of -2.0%. The company reports strong fundamentals with annual revenue growth of +16.5% ($411.6M latest quarter), though the elevated P/E of 221.35 relative to net income of $5.8M may merit investor attention.
