Levien sold 9,750 NYT shares at $78.00 on 2026-05-12; stock down -13.3% from 52-week high, down -6.5% in 30 days.
Levien Meredith A. Kopit, President & CEO of The New York Times Co, sold 9,750 shares at $78.00 for $760,500.00, reducing holdings from 219.6K shares to maintain a significant ownership position. The sale occurred as NYT stock is -13.3% from its 52-week high and down -6.5% over the past 30 days, suggesting the insider chose to exit during a period of price weakness. His cross-ticker track record shows modest sell-timing accuracy (14.29% well-timed rate across 8 prior sells with +2.5% avg 30d return), while his prior trades at NYT have yielded mixed results—only 1 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The timing of this sale amid recent downward momentum and well below the 52-week high warrants monitoring for whether it signals CEO concerns or reflects routine portfolio management against a backdrop of elevated valuation (P/E of 35.78).
