Matthew J Audette executed 6 separate sales totaling 1,579 shares for $518,900.67 across April 14–15, 2026, reducing his holdings by 7.4% to 19,803 shares post-transaction. The blended average sale price of $328.63 sits above the current price of $312.57, though the stock remains -21.7% below its 52-week high of $399.00. At LPLA specifically, his prior 5 trades (all sells dating from Feb–2025) show a 0% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark: the most recent measurable outcome (2025-02-26 sell) posted a +6.2% 90-day return, meaning the stock rose after his sale. His cross-ticker track record spans 20 prior sells with a 50% well-timed rate and -0.8% average 90-day return, indicating mixed execution timing across his portfolio. The company reports a -$29.5M net loss in the latest quarter against $4.6B quarterly revenue, paired with strong +37.2% annual revenue growth and a 39.27 P/E ratio, creating a complex fundamental picture.

Cohen sells 3,300 LPLA shares (~$1.0M) at $309.07 avg; stock down -24.1% from 52-week high, holdings reduced 42.9%.

Marc Eliot Cohen, Group Managing Director, executed 2 separate sales totaling 3,300 shares for $1,019,995.83 on 2026-03-09 and 2026-03-10, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 4,400 shares from 7,700 shares (a -42.9% reduction). The transactions occurred at a blended average price of $309.07, while the stock is currently trading at $302.96, down -24.1% from its 52-week high of $399.00. Despite strong revenue growth of +37.2% year-over-year and a $4.6B revenue base, the company reported a net loss of $29.5M in the latest quarter, and the stock has declined -23.0% over the past 30 days. The scale of this reduction—selling over 40% of his disclosed holdings in a two-day window—warrants examination of whether the transaction reflects reassessment of the stock's valuation or personal liquidity needs.

CFO Matthew J Audette sells 1,581 shares of LPLA for $506,715.35 as stock falls 18.1% in 30 days and trading near 52-week lows.

Matthew J Audette, President and CFO of LPL Financial Holdings, executed 4 separate sales totaling 1,581 shares for $506,715.35 on 2026-02-26 at blended average price of $320.50. The current price of $300.38 is 24.7% below the 52-week high and has declined 18.1% over the prior 30 days, placing the stock in significant weakness. Audette's prior trades at LPLA show a strong pattern: 4 of 5 prior sells at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent sale one year prior (2025-02-26) followed by a 90-day return of +6.2%, indicating this insider has a track record of selling before declines at this specific stock. The company's latest quarter shows negative net income of -$29,517,000.00 despite strong annual revenue growth of 37.2%, presenting a mixed fundamental picture that may inform the executive's decision to reduce holdings by 6.9% even as the stock trades near depressed valuations.

LPL Financial Group MD Enyedi sells 2,109 shares totaling $675,191.74; stock down 24.7% from 52-week high

Enyedi Matthew, Group Managing Director at LPL Financial Holdings Inc., executed 5 separate sales totaling 2,109 shares for $675,191.74 on 2026-02-26 at a blended average price of $320.15, reducing his holdings by 13.0% from 16,230 to 14,121 shares. The timing coincides with a period of stock weakness: LPLA has declined 24.7% from its 52-week high of $399.00 and is down 18.1% over the past 30 days, trading at $300.38 versus the insider's transaction prices in the $318–$322 range. Historically at this ticker, Enyedi's prior sells have shown mixed outcomes—two of his three preceding sales at LPLA registered negative 90-day returns (well-timed), though one on 2024-02-26 saw positive returns (+8.1% at 90 days). The current sale's timing relative to the stock's recent selloff and elevated P/E of 37.74 against negative net income of -$29.5M in the latest quarter creates a divergence worth monitoring: the insider liquidated into a downturn, but without scheduled-trade disclosures, the motivation remains opaque.

CEO Steinmeier sold 5,058 shares for $1,876,482.11 across 6 transactions on 2025-12-05; 4 of 5 prior LPLA sales were well-timed.

His prior sales history at LPLA is notably strong: 4 of 5 prior sells at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day mark, suggesting a pattern of selling before subsequent declines. The scale of this divestiture—selling nearly a quarter of his holdings in a single day—combined with his demonstrated timing accuracy on this ticker merits investor attention, particularly given the company's elevated valuation (P/E: 36.00) and recent net loss of $-29,517,000.00 despite strong revenue growth of 23.2%.

The stock has advanced 14.9% over the past 30 days and is within 6.4% of its 52-week high, suggesting a relatively strong near-term price environment at execution. Fundamental context shows the company posted net income of $-29,517,000.00 in the latest quarter against revenue of $4,551,977,000.00, with a P/E of 35.88, indicating a high valuation multiple on negative current earnings.

The blended average price of $338.21 is just slightly below the current price of $339.97, and well above the 52-week low of $205.71, placing the trade at a mid-range valuation relative to recent extremes. Gates' prior five sales at LPLA (all on August 5) showed 30-day declines averaging -4.74%, consistent with his broader cross-ticker selling pattern which achieved a 100% well-timed rate across 20 prior sells (average 90-day return -5.5%). The August sales have since declined between -3.1% and -5.6% within 30 days, suggesting a pattern of selling before near-term pullbacks. This transaction should be monitored for continuation of that timing pattern as the 90-day outcome window closes on these recent August and September trades.

LPL Financial Group Managing Director Gates sells 1,500 shares across 10 transactions for $561,069.39 at blended average $374.05

Gates' prior sales at LPLA (5 trades on 2025-07-03) showed negative 30-day returns averaging -3.6%, and his cross-ticker track record of 20 prior sells has yielded a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating his sales have not historically preceded price declines. The stock's 90-day change of +2.3% and annual revenue growth of +23.2% suggest operational momentum, though the P/E of 26.40 places valuation at a premium level that warrants investor attention.

LPL Financial Group Managing Director Greg Gates sold 1,500 shares (1.5K shares) for $573,951.51 ($574.0K) on 2025-07-03, reducing holdings by 6.8%.

Greg Gates executed 8 separate sales totaling 1,500 shares at prices ranging from $378.17 to $385.29, with a blended average price of $382.63. The current stock price of $383.60 is only 0.3% above the blended average, indicating the sales occurred near current market levels—neither a capitulation nor a strategic peak exit. Gates retained 20,620 shares post-transaction, maintaining a substantial holdings stake. His cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed rate on 13 prior sells (average 90d return after those sells: +7.0%), meaning those prior sales were systematically followed by stock appreciation—a pattern of poorly timed exits. At LPLA specifically, five prior sales on 2025-06-05 all showed positive near-term returns (0.5% to 1.8% over 30 days), further indicating his recent sales at this ticker have preceded continued price strength rather than declines.

Greg Gates (Group Managing Director) sold 1,500 shares of LPLA for $568,300.11 on 2025-06-05.

Gates executed 8 separate sales totaling 1,500 shares for $568,300.11 across a narrow price band ($375.52–$382.37) on 2025-06-05, reducing his holdings by 6.3% to 22,354 shares. The stock trades near its 52-week high at $380.39 (−2.2% from $388.96 peak) and has gained 5.5% over 30 days and 21.4% over 90 days, reflecting strong recent momentum. Across his 5 prior sales at LPLA, none achieved negative 90-day returns, meaning none were well-timed by the metric of selling before declines; the historical pattern at this ticker shows consistent 90-day gains (+6.2% to +8.0%) after his prior sales, suggesting his selling has not preceded drawdowns. The current sale occurs in a rally context, but the tick-by-tick execution pattern and timing relative to prior outcomes offer limited new signal about forward conviction.
