Director Paul McElhinney purchased 37,243 shares of StandardAero at $26.41 on 2026-03-13, increasing his holdings from 244,288 to 281,531 shares—a 15.2% expansion of his position. This represents a $983,606.25 commitment at a price 18.6% below the 52-week high ($33.12) and 11.8% below the 30-day average. The timing aligns with a pattern: McElhinney's prior open-market buy at this ticker on 2024-10-03 achieved a +18.8% 30-day return and +3.2% 90-day return, demonstrating successful execution in similar market windows. StandardAero's fundamentals support the context—$1.5B in quarterly revenue with +15.8% annual growth and a moderate 19.82 P/E—providing a stable backdrop for the acquisition of a meaningfully larger stake.

StandardAero CEO Ford Russell Wayne sold 40,000 shares at $30.09 on 2026-03-04; stock now at $28.87, -12.8% from 52-week high.

Ford Russell Wayne, CEO of StandardAero, sold 40,000 shares (40.0K shares) for $1,203,456.00 on 2026-03-04, reducing his holdings from 646,955 shares to 606,955 shares—a -6.2% reduction. The transaction occurred at $30.09, while the current price of $28.87 sits -12.8% below the 52-week high of $33.12 and 3.8% below the trade price. His recent transaction history at StandardAero shows five prior trades concentrated in early February and early March 2026, all sales, with measurable 30-day returns ranging from -1.1% to -5.1%. Fundamentals remain solid: the company generated $1.5B in quarterly revenue with +15.8% annual growth and a P/E of 21.23, suggesting the company is executing operationally despite recent price weakness. The pattern of consecutive sales over a narrow window warrants closer examination of any disclosure regarding the company's forward guidance or capital allocation priorities.

StandardAero CEO sold 40,000 shares (40.0K) at $30.33 on 2026-03-02; CEO retains 646,955 shares post-sale.

CEO Ford Russell Wayne sold 40,000 shares of StandardAero for $1,213,100.00 at $30.33, reducing holdings by 5.8% but maintaining a substantial retained position of 646,955 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high ($33.12), with the stock currently trading 9.0% below that peak at $30.13, suggesting the transaction timing captured strength relative to recent trading levels. StandardAero demonstrates solid fundamentals with $1.5B revenue (+15.8% YoY growth), $68.1M net income, and a $10.0B market cap, indicating the business is in expansion mode. The CEO's cross-ticker track record shows 9 prior sells with an average 30-day return of -0.9%, though same-ticker outcomes at StandardAero are not yet measurable for recent transactions, leaving no clear pattern to assess whether this particular sale reflects a systematic strategy or discretionary market judgment.

Carlyle Group (10% owner) sells 19,840,268 shares of SARO for $624.2M; trimmed stake by -19.0% to 84,587,035 shares.

Carlyle Group executed a substantial $624,174,831.28 sale of StandardAero shares on 2026-02-26 at $31.46, reducing its position from 104,427,303 shares to 84,587,035 shares and lowering its ownership stake by 19,840,268 shares. The stock now trades at $30.73, down 7.2% from its 52-week high of $33.12, though up 20.6% over the past 90 days. Carlyle's prior sales at SARO show mixed timing outcomes: of 4 measurable 90-day periods, 2 were followed by price declines (well-timed), while 2 saw subsequent gains; the company's cross-ticker track record shows sells have been well-timed 50% of the time at the 90-day horizon. StandardAero's fundamentals remain solid with $1.5B in quarterly revenue, +15.8% annual revenue growth, and a 22.60 P/E, though this large liquidation by a major owner merits close monitoring for signals about conviction or capital allocation priorities at the institutional level.

CEO Ford Russell Wayne sold 40,000 shares of SARO at $30.12 on 2026-02-06, reducing holdings 5.5% to 687.0K shares

Ford Russell Wayne, as CEO, executed a sale of 40,000 shares at $30.12, reducing his holdings from 727.0K to 687.0K shares, a 5.5% reduction. The sale occurred at a price -7.3% below the 52-week high of $33.12, and follows a pattern of three consecutive daily sales (2026-02-02, 2026-02-03, 2026-02-04) at the same ticker, suggesting a deliberate multi-day liquidation sequence rather than an isolated transaction. StandardAero trades at a P/E of 55.82 with strong fundamentals—annual revenue growth of +14.8% and net income of $68.1M on $1.5B revenue—yet the CEO's recent concentrated selling activity across several trading days warrants investor attention regarding the timing and motivation for the liquidation sequence. The cross-ticker track record shows 7 prior sells with an average 30-day return of -0.9%, providing limited predictive power for this specific ticker's near-term direction.

CEO Ford Russell Wayne sells 40,000 SARO shares at $30.12; holds 726,955 shares post-transaction.

Ford Russell Wayne, Chief Executive Officer of StandardAero, Inc., sold 40,000 shares at $30.12 on 2026-02-04, reducing his holdings from 766,955 to 726,955 shares (a -5.2% reduction in position size). The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $33.12 (the transaction price represents a -7.7% discount to that peak), and follows a strong 90-day price advance of +13.9%. The CEO's cross-ticker track record shows 7 prior sells with an average 30-day return of -1.0%, indicating a weak historical pattern of timing acuity across different securities. At StandardAero specifically, his prior 5 sales offer limited backward-looking data: only one measurable 30-day outcome (a +1.1% return on 2026-01-07), with 4 additional sales occurring consecutively in early February 2026 whose outcomes remain unmeasurable. The company's fundamentals are solid (P/E 55.58, annual revenue growth of +14.8%, latest quarterly revenue of $1,497,962,000.00 and net income of $68,120,000.00), though the high valuation multiple suggests limited margin of safety. With one-fifth of his recent holdings now liquidated and the stock positioned near recent highs, the sale merits investor attention to monitor whether the CEO's disposition signals tactical exit or routine rebalancing in an elevated valuation environment.

CEO Ford Russell Wayne sold 80,000 shares ($2.5M) at $30.67 average in two transactions, retaining 767.0K shares (9.4% reduction).

Ford Russell Wayne, CEO of StandardAero (SARO), executed 2 separate sales totaling 80,000 shares for $2,453,232.00 on February 2–3, 2026, at an average price of $30.67 per share. The current price of $29.90 is -9.7% from the 52-week high of $33.12, suggesting he sold near the upper range of recent trading. His post-transaction holdings of 766,955 shares represent a -9.4% reduction from pre-transaction levels, indicating a meaningful but not complete liquidation. Across his cross-ticker track record, his 5 prior sells averaged a -0.9% 30-day return, and his same-ticker history shows recent repeated selling activity in January and early February with limited measurable outcomes yet available. The high P/E of 54.36 relative to the company's 14.8% annual revenue growth merits investor attention to whether the market is pricing in sustained expansion.

GIC Private Ltd sells 10,890,877 shares (31.6% reduction) at $30.54 for $332.6M

GIC Private Ltd, the company's 10% owner, executed two separate sales on 2026-01-29 totaling 10,890,877 shares for $332,552,929.20 at $30.54 per share, reducing holdings from 34,463,633 shares to 23,572,756 shares. The magnitude of this disposition—31.6% of the insider's pre-transaction stake—represents a material reduction in the 10% owner's commitment. Historically, across GIC's open-market sales activity at other tickers, the well-timed rate is 70.00% and the average 90-day return after sells is +1.4%, indicating this insider's prior sales generally occurred before modest subsequent gains. At the same ticker (SARO), 2 of 4 prior sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The current stock price of $30.94 is -6.6% from the 52-week high of $33.12, and the 30-day and 90-day price momentum (+4.4% and +12.5% respectively) showed recent strength—context in which a major shareholder liquidates a third of its position. StandardAero's valuation metrics (P/E of 56.25 on $1.5B quarterly revenue and $68.1M net income) reflect a high multiple, suggesting valuation considerations may factor into timing decisions for a block seller of this scale.

Carlyle Group sells 48.25M shares of StandardAero (SARO) at $31.00; reduces stake by 31.6% to 104.43M shares ($1.5B transaction)

Carlyle Group, a 10% owner, executed a $1,495,644,228.00 sale of 48,246,588 shares at $31.00 on 2026-01-29, reducing its StandardAero stake from 152,673,891 shares to 104,427,303 shares—a material -31.6% reduction. The sale occurred near the 52-week high ($33.12), with current price at $30.89, suggesting the transaction timing relative to recent price action. StandardAero's fundamentals show strong growth (revenue $1,497,962,000, annual growth +14.8%, net income $68,120,000), but the elevated P/E of 56.16 and Carlyle's divestiture of one-third of its stake warrant attention to whether this reflects valuation concerns at the large-cap shareholder level. In Carlyle's cross-ticker history, 20 prior sells averaged a 90-day well-timed rate of 52.63%; at StandardAero specifically, 2 of 4 prior sells showed negative 90-day returns (-1.2%, -1.6%), indicating selective successful timing at this ticker.

SARO CEO sells 80,000 shares for $2.4M (2 transactions at $30.24–$30.76); retains 846,955 shares post-sale

CEO Ford Russell Wayne executed two separate sales totaling 80,000 shares for $2,439,880.00 on consecutive days (Jan 7–8, 2026) at blended average price of $30.50, reducing his stake by 8.6% but still maintaining substantial holdings of 846,955 shares. The sales occurred near recent highs—only 2.8% below the 52-week peak of $31.65—and come after the stock's strong 12.3% gain over 30 days and 16.5% over 90 days. This is the CEO's third consecutive sale at StandardAero within a three-day window (prior sales on Jan 5–6), though his broader open-market track record shows only 2 prior sells across all tickers, limiting pattern visibility for this specific issuer. The company's fundamentals remain solid (P/E of 55.96, $1.5B quarterly revenue, +14.8% annual growth), so the sales do not appear to reflect deteriorating business conditions.
