MATX Matson, Inc. Insider Trading

Matthew J Cox sells 10,000 MATX shares for $1.9M via pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan

Chairman & CEO Matthew J Cox executed 3 separate sales totaling 10,000 shares for $1,929,124.48 on 2026-06-29 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted 2026-03-09, reducing his holdings from 259,296 to 249,296 shares. The transaction is scheduled per the plan, not discretionary, so the timing carries no inference about conviction or market outlook. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +3.7%, indicating prior sales were followed by positive stock performance, though outcomes for his 5 recent same-ticker sells at MATX (all on 2026-06-08) are not yet measurable. At $194.49 current price, MATX stands +7.3% over 30 days and +18.6% over 90 days, suggesting the broader pricing environment has been constructive since the sale execution.

Laura L Rascon sells 2,800 shares for $527,897.23 across 5 transactions at MATX

Laura L Rascon, Senior Vice President at Matson, Inc., executed 5 separate sales totaling 2,800 shares for $527,897.23 on 2026-06-08, with a blended average price of $188.53. This represents a 15.2% reduction in her holdings from 18,456 shares to 15,656 shares. The stock has appreciated +6.3% over the past 30 days and +26.2% over the past 90 days, trading at $194.23, which is +0.8% from the 52-week high of $192.62. The company is valued at $5.9B with a P/E of 13.70 and reported latest-quarter revenue of $757.8M and net income of $56.6M, though annual revenue growth stands at -2.3% year-over-year.

Matthew J Cox (CEO) sold 10,000 shares at $186.13–$191.10 on 2026-06-08 under 10b5-1 plan; retains 259,296 shares.

Matthew J Cox, Chairman & CEO of Matson, Inc., executed 5 separate sales totaling 10,000 shares for $1,900,806.98 on 2026-06-08 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2026-03-09. This is a scheduled transaction, not a discretionary decision. Cox retains substantial holdings of 259,296 shares post-transaction, representing a -3.7% reduction from pre-transaction levels. His historical cross-ticker track record shows 17 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +4.1%, while his same-ticker history at MATX across 5 prior trades shows mixed results, with three September 2024 sells followed by negative 30-day and 90-day returns (-7.6%, -7.3%, -6.5%) and two August 2024 sells with positive post-transaction performance (+3.7% and +3.2% over 30 days). The current stock price of $194.23 is +0.8% from the 52-week high of $192.62 and up 6.3% over 30 days and 26.2% over 90 days, reflecting recent momentum.

Matson EVP and Chief Admin Officer Peter Heilmann sells 7,173 shares for $1.29M, his fourth open-market sale at the company in 36 months.

Peter Heilmann, Matson's Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, sold approximately one-fifth of his direct shareholding in a transaction totaling roughly $1.3 million, reducing his stake from about 32,700 shares to about 25,500 shares. This marks his fourth open-market sale at Matson over the past three years—a consistent pattern of disposition rather than accumulation. Examining his prior three sales at this company reveals a troubling track record: all three were poorly timed, with the stock rising in the 30-day and 90-day periods following each exit, a uniform poor-timing pattern across both timeframes. The company remains solidly profitable with a reasonable valuation, but the stock is currently trading about 5% below its 52-week high after a notable rally over the past quarter. Heilmann's repeated selling, combined with his historically unsuccessful exits from this same stock, suggests neither insider conviction in Matson's near-term prospects nor a pattern of selling at opportune moments.

SVP Scott Christopher A sells $595K stake, his 8th open-market sale in three years

Scott Christopher A, a Senior Vice President at Matson, sold roughly a quarter of his holdings in a single transaction, generating nearly $595,000 in proceeds. This is his eighth open-market sale over the past three years, with no offsetting purchases during that period—a pattern of consistent net reduction rather than a one-time liquidity event. The timing occurs while the stock trades slightly below its 52-week high and has gained solidly over the past three months, suggesting A chose a period of relative strength to exit. Matson remains profitable with reasonable valuations, but A's steady pattern of disposition over an extended window points to a long-running reduction strategy rather than a vote of no confidence in a company under stress.

Senior VP Sullivan John Warren sells ~3,331 shares of Matson (MATX) for ~$600K, his 5th open-market sale in 36 months.

Sullivan John Warren, Senior Vice President at Matson, divested a meaningful portion of his holdings in a single transaction. This represents his fifth open-market sale in the past three years, establishing a pattern of consistent, gradual reductions rather than dramatic exits—typical of insider portfolio management. The company remains solidly profitable with reasonable valuation metrics, though revenue pressures have emerged recently, which may explain why an officer would be trimming exposure. The stock trades modestly below its 52-week high after a sharp rally over the past three months, suggesting Warren is selling into strength rather than panic-selling into weakness. Without knowledge of his cost basis or prior purchase prices, we cannot determine whether he is locking in gains or taking a loss, but the systematic nature of his selling over time—combined with the absence of any offsetting open-market purchases by this insider in the trailing 36 months—indicates a net reduction in conviction or a need for liquidity rather than a sudden crisis at the company.

EVP John P Lauer sold 8,603 MATX shares at $166.13; stock now $152.99 (-10.7% from high). His prior 3 MATX sells in Mar 2025 preceded -16%+ declines.

John P Lauer, EVP & Chief Commercial Officer, sold 8,603 shares (26.6% of his pre-transaction holding) at $166.13 on 2026-03-05, reducing his stake from 32,341 to 23,738 shares. The stock has since declined to $152.99, -10.7% from its 52-week high and -6.1% over the past 30 days. Notably, Lauer's prior trading at MATX shows a consistent pattern: three separate sales on 2025-03-06 each preceded 30-day declines of -16.6%, -18.4%, and -16.0%, with similar 90-day outcomes of -16.2%, -18.0%, and -15.7%. This established track record of selling before material downturns at MATX is material context for evaluating the current transaction's signal value, particularly as the stock is currently -6.1% from the transaction price and trading 31.4% above its 90-day low.

SVP Richard Kinney sold 5,225 MATX shares at $165.32 for $863.8K, reducing holdings 43.6% to 6.7K shares.

Kinney, Senior Vice President at Matson Inc., sold 5,225 shares at $165.32 on 2026-03-03, the largest single reduction in his disclosed holdings, cutting his position by 43.6% from 11,971 to 6,746 shares. The transaction occurred near the top of the 52-week range ($88.05–$171.24), with the stock currently at $167.38 and up 47.1% over the prior 90 days, suggesting the sale coincided with recent strength. Matson trades at a P/E of 12.80 with $134.7M quarterly net income and modest -2.3% annual revenue decline, presenting a steady but not expansive growth profile. The magnitude of this holding reduction—eliminating nearly 44% of his stake—merits attention as it represents a material change in executive exposure to the company.

EVP Heilmann sells 13,000 MATX shares at $165.46; holds 32,679 post-sale (-28.5% vs pre-transaction)

Peter T Heilmann, Chief Admin Officer & General Counsel, sold 13,000 shares at $165.46 for $2,151,013.80, reducing his holdings from 45,679 to 32,679 shares. His prior two sales at Matx saw 90-day returns of +19.7% and +20.5% — both poorly timed, as the stock rose after his sales. His cross-ticker track record shows zero well-timed sales (0.00% well-timed rate across all open-market history), suggesting no pattern of prescient timing. The current stock trades at $167.38, near its 52-week high of $171.24, and has surged +47.1% over 90 days; the company trades at a reasonable P/E of 12.80 with recent quarterly net income of $134,700,000.00 against revenue of $880,100,000.00. The sale removes a meaningful block but leaves the insider with substantial remaining holdings; absent disclosure of scheduled trading plans or disclosed motivations, the transaction reflects only a liquidity or position adjustment at elevated price levels.

EVP Angoco sold 6,189 MATX shares at $165.31; prior sales at ticker underperformed with 60% poorly-timed at 90d

Angoco Vic S Jr, Executive Vice President, sold 6,189 shares of Matson at $165.31, reducing his holdings by 29.5% to 14,800 shares. Against the current price of $167.38, the sale executed at a discount to present levels. Examining his prior open-market sales at MATX specifically, 2 of 5 preceding sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark (resulting in negative post-sale returns), while 3 were poorly timed as the stock subsequently rose. This 40% well-timed rate on same-ticker history contrasts with a cross-ticker 90-day well-timed rate of 50.00%, suggesting the timing pattern at this ticker has been less reliable. The company trades at a P/E of 12.80 with annual revenue declining 2.3% year-over-year, providing context for fundamental position but not necessarily constraining the insider's discretionary transaction.
