FITB FIFTH THIRD BANCORP Insider Trading

Director Feiger Mitchell Stuart sells 82,045 shares of FITB, reducing stake by 65%; stock down 11% from 52-week high.

Director Feiger Mitchell Stuart executed a substantial three-part sale of FITB shares totaling approximately $4.49 million, divesting roughly 65% of his holdings in a single trading session. This is his 15th, 16th, and 17th open-market sale in the past three years — a consistent pattern of exiting positions rather than accumulating. Notably, every one of his five prior sales at FITB preceded stock declines within both 30 and 90 days, indicating precise timing on previous exits. The current sale occurs as the stock trades roughly 12% below its 52-week high and has declined over the past three months, though whether his prior track record of well-timed exits will hold after this transaction remains to be seen. The sheer magnitude of this reduction—from a stake of meaningful size to less than one-third—alongside his unblemished timing on prior FITB exits, suggests his decision to sell this aggressively warrants investor attention despite the lack of accompanying disclosure explaining the sale's motivation.

EVP Peter Sefzik sells ~20k shares of FITB in series of transactions totaling roughly $1M

Executive Vice President Peter Sefzik executed a substantial divestment of Fifth Third Bancorp stock across six transactions on a single day, reducing his holdings by approximately 9% in the largest single trade (18,767 shares). The timing is notable: the stock is trading modestly below its recent highs after a strong near-term rally, suggesting Sefzik may be taking profits following a favorable price recovery. Fifth Third is a profitable, stable financial institution with solid fundamentals, though recent earnings show slight revenue pressure year-over-year. For an EVP to divest this volume warrants attention—while it could represent straightforward portfolio rebalancing or tax management, the concentrated nature of the sale (the bulk occurring in one large transaction) suggests deliberate capital reduction rather than routine window-trading activity. Investors should monitor whether other insiders follow suit or whether company guidance changes materially in coming weeks.

FITB EVP & CIO Schramm sells 14,896 shares for $757.5K; down 9.5% from 156.4K holdings. Blended $50.85 vs current $51.56.

Jude Schramm (EVP & CIO) executed 6 separate sales totaling 14,896 shares (14.9K shares) for $757,514.68 ($757.5K) at an average price of $50.85 across February 23–24, 2026, reducing his holdings by 9.5% from 156,356 to 141,460 shares. The transaction is a routine open-market sale by a senior technology officer with no flags suggesting a coordinated pattern or scheduled plan. His cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark across 4 prior sells (averaging 14.0% return, indicating those sales preceded upward moves—a poorly timed profile), and his 4 prior FITB-specific sales on 2024-08-26 similarly showed no well-timed 90-day outcomes. The current stock price of $51.56 sits 6.4% below the 52-week high of $55.08 but near the transaction prices, and the company's fundamentals remain stable: $161.0M latest quarterly revenue, $649.0M net income, and a 17.78 P/E on a $46.5B market cap despite a -2.0% annual revenue growth headwind. The transaction offers limited directional signal beyond a modest position reduction by a CIO.

Director Feiger sold 97,515 shares of FITB for $5.2M across 7 transactions on Feb 11–12, reducing holdings by 81.9%

Feiger Mitchell Stuart, a Director, executed 7 separate sales totaling 97,515 shares for $5,203,266.60 at a blended average price of $53.36, reducing his holdings from 119,128 shares to 21,612 shares—a reduction of 81.9%. The sales occurred on 2026-02-11 and 2026-02-12, with transaction prices ranging from $53.00 to $54.91; the current price is $52.86, modestly below the trade prices. His cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +3.1% after prior sells, with a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating his prior sales were poorly timed (stock rose after he sold). At this same ticker, his 2 most recent measurable prior sales (2024-05-13) each showed a 90-day return of +3.1%, continuing the pattern of post-sale gains. The stock has gained 8.8% over the past 30 days and 24.2% over the past 90 days, near its 52-week high of $55.08. While this is a material divestiture of a large position, the pattern of consistently poorly-timed prior sales and recent strong price momentum provide limited evidence of prescient forward guidance from this insider's trading behavior.

FITB Director Evan Bayh buys 3,000 shares at blended avg $41.22 on 2025-10-20 ($123.6K).

Director Evan Bayh purchased 3,000 shares across two transactions on 2025-10-20 at an average price of $41.22, expanding his holdings to 84,942 shares (a 3.7% increase from prior holdings of 81,942 shares). The purchase occurred when FITB shares were trading 13.9% below the 52-week high of $48.44 and had declined 7.2% over the preceding 30 days. Notably, Bayh's sole prior open-market purchase at FITB on 2023-05-03 was followed by a 90-day return of +16.1%, consistent with his broader cross-ticker track record showing a 100% 90-day win rate across 3 prior open-market buys. The company currently trades at a P/E of 11.81 with a market cap of $27.6B, though annual revenue growth stands at -2.0%.

FITB COO Leonard James C. sells 17,200 shares ($761.3K) at $44.26; stock down 11.5% from 52-week high, insider 100% well-timed on 5 prior FITB sells.

Leonard James C., EVP & Chief Operating Officer, sold 17,200 shares of FIFTH THIRD BANCORP at $44.26 on 2025-02-19, reducing holdings by 6.6% to 244.5K shares. His timing has been notably precise at this ticker: across 5 prior separate sales at FITB, all were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with consistent negative 90-day returns (-1.4% to -1.5%) indicating the stock declined after each sale. The current price of $42.88 is now 11.5% below the 52-week high of $48.44, placing this sale near a cyclical weakness. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100% well-timed rate on 10 prior sells, though his cross-ticker 90-day average return of -1.5% is modest in magnitude. The company itself reports a P/E of 12.92 and -2.0% annual revenue growth, operating in a lower-growth environment, warranting attention to whether this sale reflects operational insights unavailable to the market.

EVP Robert P Shaffer sells 25,000 FITB shares for $1.2M; holds 169.9K shares post-transaction

Robert P Shaffer, EVP and Chief Risk Officer at Fifth Third Bancorp, executed 12 separate sales on 2024-11-25 totaling 25,000 shares for $1,216,193.66 at a blended average price of $48.65. His post-transaction holdings of 169.9K shares represent a reduction of 12.8% from his pre-transaction position of 194.9K shares. The stock currently trades at $48.25, near its 52-week high of $48.44 and up 11.6% over the past 30 days. As Chief Risk Officer, Shaffer's sizable single-day liquidation of a meaningful fraction of his holdings warrants attention to whether this reflects portfolio-level decisions or broader context about the company's risk posture.

EVP & CIO Jude Schramm sells 20,000 shares of FITB at $42.00 blended average, reducing stake by 14.9%

Jude Schramm, EVP & CIO of Fifth Third Bancorp, executed 4 separate sales totaling 20,000 shares for $840,055.18 on 2024-08-26, with transaction prices ranging from $42.00 to $42.02 and a blended average of $42.00. This sale reduced his post-transaction holdings to 114,422 shares, a 14.9% reduction from pre-transaction holdings of 134,422 shares. The transactions occurred at prices near the 52-week high of $42.34 and above the current price of $41.71, placing the sales at approximately the peak of the recent trading range. The company's fundamentals show a P/E of 12.20, annual revenue decline of 2.0%, and a $28.2B market cap, warranting investor attention to whether subsequent filings or disclosures indicate the company's strategic or financial direction.
