Director Ellen R Alemany sold 2,520 shares ($5.2M) at FCNCA on 2026-06-04, reducing holdings by 42.0%.

Ellen R Alemany executed 8 separate sales totaling 2,520 shares for $5,158,743.49 at a blended average price of $2,047.12, reducing her FCNCA holdings from 5,996 shares to 3,476 shares (-42.0%).

Alemany's prior trades at FCNCA show a mixed record: her most recent buy on 2025-11-13 delivered +110.2% at the 90-day mark, but her four prior sells on 2024-04-29 all saw the stock rise 19.3%–20.6% afterward, indicating poorly timed exits by historical measure. At the cross-ticker level, her 18 prior sells averaged +13.2% over 90 days with a 0.00% well-timed rate, suggesting a pattern of exiting before rallies rather than before declines.

Significance 8

Chairman and CEO Frank B Jr Holding nets 594 shares on mixed sale and purchase; stock trading well below 52-week highs as profitable company faces modest revenue headwinds.

Frank B Jr Holding, Chairman and CEO of First Citizens BancShares, executed a nearly balanced transaction on the same day—selling shares at a modestly higher price while purchasing a larger quantity at a lower price—for a net gain of 594 shares. This rare pairing (mixing a sale with a purchase) is unusual for an insider whose record shows 32 prior open-market purchases against only one prior sale, making this his second open-market sale in three years. The timing is notable: the stock is trading well below its 52-week high and has declined modestly over the past month and quarter, yet Holding is adding to his position rather than trimming it. His previous five purchases at this stock all proved well-timed, with the stock rising in the months that followed, suggesting he has consistently bought at opportune moments. The company itself remains solidly profitable with strong earnings, though annual revenue has declined slightly year-over-year, creating a backdrop where an insider with a proven track record of disciplined buying is choosing to increase exposure.

Frank B. Holding Jr., Chairman and CEO of First Citizens BancShares, made two separate purchases totaling 149 shares at $1,550.00 on 2026-03-13 for $230,950.00, increasing his holdings from 32,016 to 32,165 shares.

His cross-ticker buy track record shows 20 prior open-market purchases with a 100% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of +21.0%.

Director Snow Ralph Mattox III bought 11 FCNCA shares at $1,944.22; stock down 13.4% from 52-week high.

Director Snow Ralph Mattox III purchased 11 shares of FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES INC /DE/ (FCNCA) at $1,944.22 on 2026-03-05, increasing his holdings by 10.0% to 121 shares. The stock is currently trading at $1,907.53, down 13.4% from its 52-week high of $2203.53. Examining Mattox's prior trade history at FCNCA—a single buy executed on 2025-08-05—that transaction saw a 90-day return of -3.5%, indicating the stock did not appreciate in the period following that acquisition. The current purchase occurs against a backdrop of recent weakness: the stock has declined 11.7% over 30 days and 3.2% over 90 days. Fundamentally, FCNCA reported $2,433,000,000.00 in quarterly revenue and $568,000,000.00 in net income, though annual revenue contracted 2.2% year-over-year. The company's P/E of 11.54 reflects a modest valuation. The director's modest purchase size ($21.4K total value) and his track record of one prior buy at this ticker that subsequently declined warrant observation of whether this reflects conviction or routine portfolio activity.

FCNCA Chairman/CEO Frank B Holding Jr. buys 135 shares at $1,629.67 blended average; prior 5 trades 100% well-timed, current stock -18.3% from 52-week high.

Frank B Holding Jr., Chairman and CEO of First Citizens Bancshares, executed 2 purchases totaling 135 shares for $220,005.50 at a blended average price of $1,629.67, increasing his holdings from 2,392 to 2,527 shares. His prior 5 trades at this ticker show a 100% well-timed pattern with 90-day returns ranging from +6.0% to +23.9%, and his cross-ticker track record across 20 buys demonstrates a 100% 90-day win rate with average 90-day return of +22.0%. The current stock price of $1,901.17 sits -18.3% from the 52-week high of $2,325.96, placing the transaction in a drawdown environment; the purchase also occurs within 30 days of a +4.2% rally. The company's annual revenue growth stands at -48.1%, and despite strong fundamentals (P/E of 10.04, $568.0M net income on $2.4B quarterly revenue), the extended selling from the recent peak provides context for this insider accumulation.
