Blackstone EMA III sells 15.39M LGN shares for $831.3M, reducing stake 44.4%; stock at 52-wk high
Blackstone EMA III, a 10% owner of Legence Corp., executed 2 separate sales totaling 15,394,112 shares for $831,282,048.00 at $54.00 on 2026-04-09, reducing holdings from 34,691,493 to 19,297,381 shares (a -44.4% net change vs pre-transaction holdings). The sale occurred exactly at the 52-week high of $59.75, with the stock up 16.3% in 30 days and 34.3% in 90 days prior to the filing date. Blackstone's prior 4 sales at LGN show a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark—all prior sales were followed by stock appreciation, suggesting a pattern of selling before rallies rather than before declines. The company trades near its 52-week high despite fundamental headwinds: annual revenue growth of +21.5% masks an unprofitable full-year net income and a -$576.0K loss in the latest quarter, signaling potential valuation risk at elevated price levels.
