Sheehan William W II, the Chief Financial Officer, sold 4,883 shares on 2026-03-26 at $216.95 per share for a total value of $1,059,367.34, reducing his post-transaction holdings from 36,222 shares to 31,339 shares. The sale occurred at a price of $216.95, which is near the 52-week high of $216.03, while the current price stands at $208.79. Ross Stores is a large-cap retailer with a $67.5B market cap, generating $5.6B in quarterly revenue and $511.9M in net income, though the company's P/E of 32.37 reflects premium valuation. The CFO's 13.5% reduction in holdings represents a material disposition of his stake, though his remaining 31,339 shares indicate continued significant ownership alignment with the company.

ROSS Stores President Karen Sykes sold 5,506 shares at $213.40 on 2026-03-25; stock now $211.69, within 2.0% of 52-week high.

Karen Sykes, President and CMO of DD's Discounts, sold 5,506 shares (5.0% of pre-transaction holdings) at $213.40, bringing holdings to 104,648 shares. The transaction occurred near the stock's 52-week high ($216.03), with the stock trading at $211.69 currently. Across her cross-ticker history, Sykes has achieved a 50.00% well-timed rate on prior sells with an average 90-day return of +8.4%, but same-ticker history at ROSS shows mixed outcomes: only 1 of 2 measurable prior ROSS sales resulted in negative 90-day returns (the well-timed sell on 2025-09-04 posted +17.3%). The 30-day and 90-day price appreciation since this sale (+5.0% and +16.9% respectively) will provide clarity on whether this near-peak sale reflects any forward positioning.

ROST: Fleming (Pres/CMO) sells 7,000 shares at $212.76; holds 91,406 post-sale. Stock +6.9% in 30d, trading near 52-week high.

Fleming sold 7,000 shares (7.0K shares) at $212.76 on 2026-03-24, reducing holdings from 98,406 to 91,406 shares. The stock is currently at $214.30, only -0.8% from its 52-week high of $216.03, and has gained +6.9% over the past 30 days and +18.3% over 90 days. Reviewing Fleming's prior ROST sales (on 2025-03-31 and 2025-03-17), both were followed by positive 90-day returns (+0.2% and +4.9% respectively), indicating a consistent pattern of selling into strength without capturing subsequent declines at this ticker. Her cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior sells averaging +9.6% 30-day return and +2.5% 90-day return, with a 0% well-timed rate—meaning the stock rose after her prior sales, making them poorly timed exits. The current sale occurs in a strong momentum environment near recent highs.

President Stephen C Brinkley sold 4,154 ROST shares at $212.91 for $884,428.56

Brinkley Stephen C, President of Operations at Ross Stores, sold 4,154 shares (6.0% of pre-transaction holdings) on 2026-03-24 at $212.91, reducing his position from 68,897 to 64,743 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $216.03, with current price at $214.30, and follows a strong 90-day run of +18.3%. His prior ROST trade history is limited to a single sell on 2025-10-08, which was not well-timed (the stock rose +24.2% over 90 days post-sale). The cross-ticker track record shows similar patterns: 1 prior open-market sell across all securities with 0% well-timed rate and average 90d return of +24.2% after sales, indicating a history of selling into strength rather than ahead of weakness.

COO Michael J. Hartshorn sold 21,874 shares of ROST for $4,698,514.43 across 2 transactions at $214.52–$214.91, reducing stake by 15.9%.

Michael J. Hartshorn, GROUP PRESIDENT and COO of Ross Stores, sold 6,061 shares at $214.52 on 2026-03-24 and 15,813 shares at $214.91 on 2026-03-25, totaling 21,874 shares for $4,698,514.43 at a blended average price of $214.80. His post-transaction holdings of 116,028 shares represent a 15.9% reduction from pre-transaction holdings of 137,902 shares. The timing occurs near the 52-week high of $216.03 (current price $214.30 is -0.8% from that peak) and follows a 30-day gain of +6.9% and 90-day gain of +18.3% in the stock. At the same ticker ROST, Hartshorn's prior five sells show a 3-of-5 well-timed rate at the 90-day mark: recent March 2025 sells saw the stock rise +8.4% and +8.2% in the subsequent 30 days before declining modestly at 90 days, while September 2024 and March 2024 sells were each followed by declines. The current transaction price is materially above the current trading level, suggesting execution near a local peak in a stock trading near its 52-week high.

ROST: Sykes (Pres, CMO) sells 2,556 shares at $213.91; holds 103,945 shares post-sale

Sykes sold 2,556 shares (2.4% of pre-transaction holdings) at $213.91, approximately at the 52-week high of $214.83. Her cross-ticker track record shows a 50% well-timed sell rate across 2 prior sales, but at ROST specifically, timing has been mixed: her September 2025 sale preceded a 90-day gain of 17.3%, while her April 2025 sale preceded a 90-day loss of 0.4%. The current price of $209.84 is 2.3% below the 52-week high but up 9.1% over 30 days and 15.2% over 90 days, indicating the stock remains in a strong uptrend. The sale is modest relative to her substantial remaining position of 103,945 shares, suggesting no material shift in her conviction at this valuation level.

ROST President of Operations sold 6.4K shares at $150.97; holds 57.0K post-transaction

Brinkley, as President of Operations, sold 6,437 shares at $150.97 on 2025-10-08, reducing his holdings from 63,449 to 57,012 shares (a 10.1% reduction in stake). The transaction occurred at $150.97, which was near the 52-week high of $156.61, just 3.7% below that peak. The stock has since declined 5.7% to the current price of $147.71 and is down 1.0% over 30 days, though up 12.6% over the 90-day period. This sale by a senior operational executive at a price close to recent highs warrants investor attention, particularly given the company's recent financial performance (Q latest: $5.5B revenue, $508.0M net income, 3.7% annual growth, P/E of 23.30).

CEO Conroy James Grant sold 39,351 shares of ROST at $146.00 for $5,745,246.00; retains 157,153 shares post-transaction.

Conroy James Grant, CEO of Ross Stores, executed an open-market sale of 39,351 shares at $146.00, reducing his holdings by 20.0% to 157,153 shares. The transaction occurred at a price 3.2% below the 52-week high of $156.61, during a period when ROST has appreciated 18.5% over 90 days and the broader stock is trading near historical highs. Across his cross-ticker track record, Grant has executed 9 prior open-market sells with a 22.22% well-timed rate, indicating limited historical precision in the timing of his divestments. For context, ROST trades at a P/E of 23.90 with $5.5B quarterly revenue and $508.0M net income, making this a moderately valued large-cap position.

Sykes Karen (ROST President/CMO) sold 4,000 shares at $151.76 on 2025-09-04; retains 106,413 shares post-sale.

Sykes Karen, President and CMO of DD's Discounts at Ross Stores, sold 4,000 shares (a 3.6% reduction) for $607,058.40 at a transaction price of $151.76. The sale occurred near the top of the 52-week range ($156.61), with the stock currently trading at $151.57, only 3.2% below the 52-week high. Across her prior open-market sell activity, the insider has executed well-timed sells 100.00% of the time over the 90-day window, with her prior ROST sell on 2025-04-02 returning -0.4% at 90 days—consistent with the pattern. The transaction represents a modest reduction in a substantial retained position of 106,413 shares, occurring against a backdrop of 4.4% monthly and 8.2% quarterly appreciation in the stock.

Executive Chairman Balmuth sells 11,261 shares of ROST at $131.60 on 2025-04-02, reducing stake by 15.8%.

Michael Balmuth, Executive Chairman of Ross Stores, sold 11,261 shares for $1,481,954.36, reducing his holdings from 71,051 shares to 59,790 shares, a 15.8% reduction in stake. The sale occurred at $131.60, and the stock currently trades at $130.31, down 6.0% over 30 days and 15.5% over 90 days, putting it 16.8% below its 52-week high of $156.61. His prior sale at this ticker (2024-09-05) demonstrated a +1.5% 90-day return, meaning the stock rose after that earlier transaction, so that sale was not well-timed. The current transaction occurs in a context of recent stock weakness, though the company's fundamentals remain solid with annual revenue growth of 3.7% and a P/E of 20.49.
