KNSL Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. Insider Trading

SVP/CAO Tangard buys 330 KNSL shares at $304.00; 660% increase in personal holdings to 380 shares

Christopher R. Tangard, serving as Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, purchased 330 shares of Kinsale Capital Group at $304.00 on 2026-06-08, raising his holdings from 50 shares to 380 shares—a 660.0% increase in his personal stake. The purchase occurs when the stock trades at $303.14, down 40.9% from its 52-week high of $512.76 and down 15.9% over the trailing 90 days, suggesting the executive bought into a period of significant price weakness. The company itself shows solid operational metrics: $466.7M quarterly revenue, $112.6M net income, and 18.0% annual revenue growth, with a modest P/E of 13.27, indicating valuation has compressed materially relative to fundamentals. A material increase in insider equity ownership by a senior financial officer warrants investor attention to assess whether this reflects internal confidence in the company's value proposition or reflects other factors.

KNSL CEO exercises stock options, sells all 22,576 shares same-day for $6.8M; stock down 41% from 52-week high.

Michael P. Kehoe, KNSL's Chairman, President, and CEO, exercised stock options and immediately sold the entire position in a single transaction on the same day, generating roughly $6.8 million in gross proceeds. The sale is noteworthy not for conviction or concern, but for structure: a classic option exercise-and-sell that converts an equity grant into cash, leaving Kehoe's overall holdings unchanged. The timing occurs as the stock trades significantly below its 52-week high, having declined substantially over both the recent month and quarter. Kehoe's track record as a seller is notably sharp—all five of his prior sales at this company were timed well, with the stock falling after each exit. This current sale follows the same pattern: a decisive liquidation of derivative gains at a moment when the company remains profitable and growing. The exercise-and-sell structure is routine for equity compensation, but the consistent quality of Kehoe's prior exits and the stock's current weakness below its 52-week high make this worth monitoring for signs of broader sentiment shifts among the executive team.

Director Russell Frederick L. Jr. sold 4,000 shares (89.7% of holdings) of KNSL at $379.50 for $1,518,000.00

Russell Frederick L. Jr., a director of Kinsale Capital Group, executed a substantial sale of 4,000 shares at $379.50, reducing his holdings from 4.5K to 460 shares—a 89.7% reduction in stake. This transaction represents a material reduction in insider exposure to the stock, occurring at a price 4.2% below the current market price of $396.18 and 21.1% below the 52-week high of $501.97. The insider's prior trading history at this ticker is notably consistent: across 5 previous sales on 2024-11-22, all five showed negative 90-day returns ranging from -11.1% to -11.8%, with a 100% rate of being well-timed at the 90-day horizon. His cross-ticker sell history shows a 60.00% well-timed rate at 90 days with an average 90-day return of -2.0%, suggesting a demonstrated ability to time equity dispositions favorably. Given the company's strong fundamentals—$497.5M in latest quarterly revenue, net income of $141.6M, 18.0% annual revenue growth, and a reasonable P/E of 16.30—the scale of this director's position reduction warrants investor attention as a meaningful change in insider conviction.

CFO Petrucelli sold 5,100 KNSL shares for $1.9M at $378.35; retains 62.9K shares post-transaction.

Petrucelli, EVP, CFO and Treasurer, sold 5,100 shares (5.1K shares) of Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. (KNSL) at $378.35 on 2026-02-27, reducing his holdings by 7.5% to 62.9K shares. His prior five trades at KNSL—all sales on 2025-02-18—showed exclusively positive 90-day returns ranging from +5.1% to +7.1%, meaning he sold before rises in stock price and none were well-timed by the sell-timing standard. His cross-ticker track record of 18 prior sells shows a 50.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark with an average 90-day return of -8.3%, suggesting marginally balanced timing across holdings. KNSL trades at a 16.30 P/E, has delivered +18.0% annual revenue growth with net income of $141.6M on $497.5M quarterly revenue, and currently trades at $396.18, down 21.1% from its 52-week high of $501.97. The sale occurs at a price 4.7% below current levels, though the stock has moved only 0.1% in 30 days and 5.4% over 90 days.

Director Gregory M Share purchases 2,675 shares for $1,048,460.01 across 14 transactions at KNSL

Director Gregory M Share executed 14 separate purchases totaling 2,675 shares for $1,048,460.01 on 2025-12-15, at a blended average price of $391.95 per share. The current price of $377.99 sits 25.4% below the 52-week high of $506.88, and the stock has declined 3.0% over the past 30 days and 11.5% over 90 days, suggesting recent headwinds. The multiple buy-in prices spanning from $390.17 to $395.93 suggest a methodical accumulation rather than a single-price decision, acquiring a net 2,675 shares against a prior short position of 2,000 shares. In the context of strong fundamentals—annual revenue growth of 29.6%, a P/E of 18.55, and net income of $141,646,000.00 in the latest quarter—the director's substantial capital deployment represents a material shift in personal exposure to the company.

CEO Michael P Kehoe sells 5,000 KNSL shares in 5 separate transactions for $2,260,763.76 at $452.15 avg; retains 303,043 shares

Michael P Kehoe, Chairman and CEO of Kinsale Capital Group, executed 5 separate open-market sales on 2025-08-25, disposing of 5,000 shares (a 1.6% reduction) for $2,260,763.76 at a blended average price of $452.15. The stock currently trades at $455.08, only modestly above the transaction prices. Kehoe's cross-ticker track record shows a 40.00% well-timed sell rate across 20 prior sales, yet at KNSL specifically, his 5 prior sales (all from 2024-06-04) were all poorly timed, with 90-day returns ranging from +27.5% to +29.2%—suggesting he has consistently underperformed on timing at this particular ticker. The company's fundamentals remain robust (annual revenue growth of +29.6%, P/E of 23.74, $469.8M quarterly revenue), but the recent 30-day price decline of 3.7% and the insider's continued material ownership of 303,043 shares provide limited context for this modest divestiture.

KNSL EVP/CIO Schnupp sold 1,398 shares ($659.9K) at $472.00 on 2025-06-05; holds 6,580 shares post-sale.

Diane D. Schnupp, the Chief Information Officer of Kinsale Capital Group, executed a sale of 1,398 shares at $472.00, reducing her shareholding from 7,978 shares to 6,580 shares, a -17.5% reduction in her position. The transaction took place at a price $8.49 above the current market price of $463.51, placing the sale near the upper end of the 52-week trading range ($370.41–$524.22) and 11.6% below the 52-week high. At the company level, Kinsale is trading at a P/E of 26.67 with strong fundamentals: annual revenue growth of +29.6%, a latest quarterly revenue of $423.4M, and net income of $89.2M. The sale represents a material reduction in an insider's direct stake but does not constitute a disposal of her entire position, and occurs in a company demonstrating robust growth and profitability metrics.

CFO Petrucelli sells 5,000 KNSL shares for $2.2M at blended $443.49; retains 61.5K shares post-transaction

Petrucelli, as EVP, CFO and Treasurer, executed 9 separate sales totaling 5,000 shares for $2,217,459.12 on 2025-02-18 at an average price of $443.49, reducing his holdings to 61.5K shares (a 7.5% reduction). The transaction occurred near the 52-week high of $547.98 (current price $440.32 is 19.6% below peak), though up 0.9% over the past 30 days. Notably, Petrucelli's prior 5 sales at KNSL all occurred on 2024-02-21 and demonstrated a consistent pattern: all 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark with negative returns ranging from -22.0% to -22.7%, suggesting a historical tendency to exit positions before subsequent declines. His cross-ticker track record shows 9 prior sells with a 100% well-timed rate at 90 days (avg 90d return -22.8%), providing additional context for pattern consistency. The company's fundamentals remain strong with annual revenue growth of +49.5% and a P/E of 25.06, though the magnitude of this particular sale and the executive's demonstrated timing pattern at this ticker merit investor attention.

Director Ritchie James Joseph sold 2,295 shares (77.9% of holdings) at $499.79 average for $1.1M on 2024-12-04

Director Ritchie James Joseph executed 3 separate sales totaling 2,295 shares for $1,147,022.94 on 2024-12-04, reducing his holdings from 2,945 shares to 650 shares—a 77.9% reduction in his stake. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $498.49 to $500.85, near the current market price of $498.78 and close to the 52-week high of $547.98. Notably, his prior open-market sell at this ticker on 2024-02-20 displayed a 90-day return of -23.0%, exemplifying well-timed exits; this historical pattern of capturing gains before subsequent declines merits observer attention, particularly given the company's strong recent momentum (+16.3% over 30 days, +8.1% over 90 days) and robust fundamentals (revenue $418.1M, net income $114.2M, +49.5% annual growth). The substantial reduction in his direct equity stake warrants scrutiny regarding forward-looking confidence levels.

Director Russell Frederick L. Jr. sells 4,440 shares (90.9% of holdings) at $499.31 avg for $2.2M on 2024-11-22

Russell Frederick L. Jr., a director at Kinsale Capital Group, executed 5 separate sales totaling 4,440 shares for $2,216,956.57 on 2024-11-22, reducing his position from 4,887 shares to 447 shares—a 90.9% reduction in holdings. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $496.55 to $500.76, with a blended average of $499.31, near the 52-week high of $547.98. His prior sales at KNSL show a weak 90-day timing record (1 of 5 prior sells well-timed), with the most recent 2024-03-05 sale followed by a 90-day decline of 26.6%, though his cross-ticker track record shows mixed results (avg 90d return +7.5%, 20% well-timed rate). The near-complete exit occurs during a period of strong recent momentum—the stock has appreciated 16.6% over 30 days and 3.8% over 90 days—and coincides with robust fundamentals (revenue growth +49.5% annually, P/E 28.82). The transaction leaves minimal residual exposure (447 shares remaining), suggesting a strategic liquidation of the position rather than a partial adjustment.
