HILDEBRANDT JOHN D Sell
President and COO
7,421 shares
$1,015,779
@ $136.88
Significance 4/10

President/COO Hildebrandt sells 7,421 PSMT shares at $136.88; stock now at $141.66, up 9.1% in 30 days.

John Hildebrandt, President and COO of PriceSmart, sold 7,421 shares at $136.88 on 2026-01-12, reducing holdings from 115,615 to 108,194 shares. The stock has appreciated to $141.66 since the sale, representing a post-trade gain, and has climbed +9.1% over the prior 30 days and +15.3% over 90 days. Across his same-ticker history at PSMT, Hildebrandt's prior three sales show mixed outcomes: a November 2025 sale was followed by +11.0% in 30 days, a January 2025 sale preceded a +10.8% 90-day gain, and a November 2024 sale saw +1.7% 30-day and +3.0% 90-day returns. None of the two measurable same-ticker sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, and his cross-ticker track record across all three prior sells shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating his sale timing has not historically captured downturns. With the company valued at a P/E of 28.97, near its 52-week highs, the transaction provides limited new signal about near-term conviction.

$1,151,000
@ $115.10
Significance 4/10

PSMT President/COO Hildebrandt sells 10,000 shares at $115.10; stock up 4.9% YTD but down 3.2% this month

PSMT President and COO John D Hildebrandt sold 10,000 shares for $1,151,000.00 on 2025-11-04, reducing his holdings from 125.6K to 115.6K shares. The sale occurs as PSMT trades at $117.32, near its 52-week high of $124.09 (down 5.5% from peak) but still up 4.9% over 90 days despite a -3.2% decline over the past 30 days. Hildebrandt's prior two sales at PSMT both saw subsequent 90-day gains (+10.8% and +3.0%), indicating his sells at this ticker have historically not preceded downturns; his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90d return of +6.9% after sells with a 0.00% well-timed rate. The company's fundamentals appear stable with $1.3B in quarterly revenue, 7.2% annual growth, and a reasonable P/E of 23.46.

McCleary Michael Sell
EVP-Finance
9,754 shares
$1,078,978
@ $110.62
Significance 5/10

EVP-Finance McCleary sells 9,754 PSMT shares at $110.62 (1.1M), reducing stake by 17.2%

McCleary sold 9,754 shares at $110.62 on 2025-09-09, reducing his holdings from 56,836 to 47,082 shares—a 17.2% reduction in his position. The sale occurred when the stock was $7.48 below its current price of $118.10, which is at the 52-week high. The company has posted solid fundamentals: $1.3B in latest quarterly revenue with +11.4% annual growth and a P/E of 24.97. The transaction is noteworthy for its size relative to the executive's overall stake, though without a 10b5-1 flag or prior trade track record data, the timing rationale cannot be determined from the filing alone.

HILDEBRANDT JOHN D Sell
President and COO
8,020 shares
$725,906
@ $90.51
Significance 6/10

PriceSmart President/COO Hildebrandt sells 8,020 shares (84.8% of holdings) for $725.9K at $90.51

John D. Hildebrandt, President and COO, executed a substantial reduction of his PSMT equity position, selling 8,020 shares at $90.51 and retaining only 1,438 shares post-transaction—a -84.8% reduction in his holdings. The sale occurred at a price $0.28 below the current market price of $90.79, within the 52-week range ($75.12–$96.92) but closer to recent highs, with the stock down -6.3% from its 52-week peak and -4.0% over 30 days. PriceSmart's fundamentals remain solid: $1.3B in quarterly revenue, $37.4M net income, +11.4% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 20.13—all consistent with operational health. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior open-market sell with a +1.7% 30-day return, and his single prior trade at PSMT (a sell on 2024-11-08) also posted a +1.7% 30-day return. The magnitude of this stake reduction is the defining signal: disposing of 84.8% of holdings represents a fundamental repositioning rather than routine portfolio activity, warranting attention to whether subsequent company disclosures or macro conditions reveal context for this concentrated exit.

President and COO
8,350 shares
$751,984
@ $90.06
Significance 5/10

PriceSmart President John Hildebrandt sells 8,350 shares at $90.06; retains 131,567 shares amid 9.1% stock gain over 90 days.

HILDEBRANDT JOHN D sold 8,350 shares (8.4K shares) at $90.06 on 2024-11-08, reducing holdings by 6.0% to 131,567 shares. The sale occurs within the context of strong recent performance: the stock has climbed 9.1% over 90 days and trades at $90.19, within 3.3% of its 52-week high of $93.26. PriceSmart's fundamentals remain solid with annual revenue growth of 11.4%, quarterly revenue of $1,229,428,000.00, and a P/E of 17.86. The president's continued substantial holding of 131,567 shares suggests retention of meaningful economic exposure, while the 6.0% reduction in his stake represents a discrete partial liquidation rather than a wholesale exit.

Bahrambeygui Sherry S. Sell
23,141 shares
$2,000,909
@ $86.47
Significance 6/10

Director Bahrambeygui sells 23,141 shares over 3 days (Jul 15–17) for $2,000,909.01; reduces stake 32.7% to 47,575 shares

Director Sherry S. Bahrambeygui executed 3 separate sales totaling 23,141 shares for $2,000,909.01 across Jul 15–17, 2024, at prices ranging from $84.37 to $89.80 (blended average $86.47). The sales reduced her holdings by 32.7%, from 70,716 to 47,575 shares. The timing is notable: the stock closed at $90.57 currently, representing +0.0% from the 52-week high, and has posted +13.9% over 30 days and +12.6% over 90 days—meaning the director sold into a period of sustained upward momentum and within striking distance of recent highs. This is a material reduction in her directorial position in a company with strong fundamentals ($1.2B quarterly revenue, +11.8% annual growth, $32.5M net income, P/E of 22.14).
