EXR CEO Margolis sold 7,500 shares at $142.08; 5 of 5 prior sales well-timed with 90d decline pattern

Joseph D Margolis, Chief Executive Officer of Extra Space Storage Inc., sold 7,500 shares at $142.08 on 2026-03-13, reducing holdings from 73,995 to 66,495 shares. His prior trades at EXR show a consistent timing pattern: all 5 previous sales at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with 4 of 5 followed by negative 90-day returns (-17.5%, -7.0%, -5.9%, and -0.4%), and his cross-ticker sell track record shows an 85.71% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of -3.0%. The current price of $139.50 is -8.8% from the 52-week high and down 4.7% over the past 30 days, placing the stock in near-term weakness shortly after the sale execution. This sale occurs at a valuation of P/E 27.57, and with the company reporting $858.5M in quarterly revenue and 3.7% annual growth, context suggests the insider's historical execution pattern warrants attention.

Significance 6/10

CEO Joseph D Margolis sold 7,500 shares of EXR at $141.41 for $1,060,575; stock down -20.7% from 52-week high.

Margolis sold 7,500 shares on 2025-10-01, reducing his stake from 27,260 to 19,760 shares (a -27.5% reduction in holdings). The sale occurred at $141.41 while the stock currently trades at $142.82, putting the stock -20.7% from its 52-week high of $180.19. Examining his prior transactions at EXR specifically, 4 of 5 previous sells resulted in negative 90-day returns (well-timed sells), with his most recent sale on 2025-07-01 yielding -10.6% in 30 days and -5.9% in 90 days. The current trade follows this established pattern of his prior EXR sales and occurs amid a 90-day stock decline of -6.6%, consistent with the trajectory observed after his previous transactions at this ticker. The company's fundamentals remain robust—Revenue $841.6M, net income $249.7M, annual revenue growth +27.2%—but the stock's distance from its 52-week high and the CEO's consistent pattern of sales at this company merit investor attention to what such regular dispositions may signal about valuation or capital allocation priorities.

@ $150.35
Significance 5/10

CEO Margolis sells 7,500 EXR shares at $150.35; reduces stake 21.6% to 27,260 shares held.

Chief Executive Officer Joseph D Margolis sold 7,500 shares (7.5K shares) at $150.35 on 2025-07-01 for $1,127,625.00, reducing his holdings from 34,760 to 27,260 shares. His prior trades at Extra Space Storage show a 4-of-5 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark, with his most recent comparable sale on 2024-10-01 showing -17.5% 90-day performance—a notably well-timed exit. However, his cross-ticker track record across all securities reveals mixed sell outcomes: 5 prior sells averaged -1.0% at 30 days and -1.6% at 90 days with an 80.00% well-timed rate, compared to a 1 prior buy averaging +23.5% at 30 days and +21.3% at 90 days with 100.00% accuracy. The current stock price of $152.88 sits -16.5% from the 52-week high of $183.14, reflecting recent softening despite a +10.6% gain over 90 days. A moderate-sized reduction in a CEO's position warrants attention to whether it signals evolving confidence, though the company's fundamentals remain robust with $820.0M quarterly revenue, +27.2% annual growth, and a P/E of 35.55.

@ $147.45
Significance 6/10

CEO Margolis sells 7,500 EXR shares at $147.45; stock down 21.3% from 52-week high, holdings reduced 44.9%.

Margolis, EXR's Chief Executive Officer, sold 7,500 shares at $147.45 on 2025-04-01, reducing his holdings from 16,690 to 9,190 shares (a -44.9% reduction). This is a substantial post-transaction holdings cut during a period of weakness: the stock trades at $144.16, down 21.3% from its 52-week high of $183.14 and off 6.0% over 30 days. At the same-ticker level, Margolis has executed 4 prior sells at EXR with a 75.00% 90-day well-timed rate (meaning 3 of 4 prior sells were followed by stock declines), suggesting a pattern of executing sales before downturns at this specific company. However, context matters: while his cross-ticker track record shows a 75.00% well-timed rate on sells, the timing signal is complicated by the stock's current valuation—trading at a P/E of 35.51 with strong recent fundamentals (annual revenue growth of +27.2%, net income of $193.2M on $824.8M revenue)—making this sale difficult to characterize as a straightforward caution signal rather than a liquidity or portfolio decision by the CEO.

Significance 6/10

CEO Margolis sold 7,500 EXR shares at $148.01 on 2025-01-02, reducing holdings 31.0%; stock now -18.9% from 52-week high.

Joseph D Margolis, Chief Executive Officer, sold 7,500 shares (31.0% of his prior holdings) at $148.01, bringing holdings from 24,190 to 16,690 shares. The sale occurred as EXR trades -18.9% below its 52-week high of $183.14 and -9.2% over the past 30 days. Margolis's prior trades at EXR show 3 of 4 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, including 2 prior sells that preceded stock declines; however, his most recent EXR sale on 2024-10-01 was followed by -8.5% and -90d decline of -17.5%. The timing signal is mixed: the cross-ticker track record shows 66.67% well-timed rate on sells, but the magnitude of the current position reduction (nearly one-third of holdings) and depressed valuation context merit scrutiny against the company's solid fundamentals (33.1% annual revenue growth, $193.2M net income, and P/E of 38.99).

Significance 6/10

CEO Margolis sold 7,500 EXR shares at $178.52 on 2024-10-01 for $1.3M; 24.2K remain (from 31.7K).

Joseph D Margolis, Chief Executive Officer, sold 7,500 shares, reducing his stake by 23.7%, at a price $178.52 that was near the 52-week high of $183.14. His cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior sells with a 50.00% well-timed rate and an average 90-day return of +5.1%, indicating mixed timing success historically. At Extra Space Storage specifically, his prior trades show 2 of 3 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with his most recent prior sale on 2024-07-01 followed by a 90-day return of +16.2%. The stock is trading at $176.31, down 3.7% from the 52-week high but up 14.2% over 90 days and 0.1% over 30 days, suggesting the stock has appreciated meaningfully since the sale. The company shows strong fundamentals with annual revenue growth of +33.1% and a current market cap of $37.4B, though the P/E of 46.52 is elevated. This sale, at a near-high price and representing a material reduction in CEO holdings, occurs in a period of strong stock price momentum and warrants investor attention to forward guidance and company trajectory.

Extra Space Storage trades at a P/E of 46.87 with strong fundamentals: $810.7M quarterly revenue and net income of $185.9M, supporting 33.1% year-over-year annual revenue growth. The sale itself represents a modest position adjustment rather than a material reduction; Woolley retains substantial holdings worth approximately $71.6M at current prices.

Significance 6/10

EXR CEO Margolis sells 7,500 shares ($1.1M) at $152.58; retains 31,690 shares post-sale

Margolis Joseph D, Chief Executive Officer of Extra Space Storage Inc., sold 7,500 shares on 2024-07-01 for $1,144,350.00, reducing his holdings by 19.1% from 39,190 to 31,690 shares. The sale occurred at $152.58, which is 6.2% below the 52-week high of $164.40, as the stock has appreciated 6.4% over the past 30 days and 6.7% over 90 days. Historically, Margolis' prior sales at EXR have been well-timed, with his 2023-04-04 sale showing -5.8% at 30 days and -6.0% at 90 days, part of a cross-ticker pattern where his 1 prior sell posted a 100.00% well-timed rate. However, the stock closed at $154.20 post-transaction, suggesting the sale did not precede an immediate decline. The company reported strong fundamentals with $799.5M in latest quarterly revenue, $213.1M in net income, and 33.1% annual revenue growth, though a P/E of 39.84 reflects elevated valuation expectations.
