Greene Kimberly S, Sell
Chairman, President & CEO, GPC
25,000 shares
$2,416,750
@ $96.67
Significance 5/10

Greene sells 25,000 SO shares at $96.67; holdings drop 19.4% to 103.6K shares; stock now -3.2% from 52-week high.

Kimberly S Greene, Chairman, President & CEO of GPC, sold 25,000 shares (25.0K shares) of SOUTHERN CO at $96.67 on 2026-03-30, reducing her holdings by 19.4% to 103,602 shares (103.6K shares). The sale occurred near the 52-week high, with the current price at $96.52 only -3.2% from the $99.72 peak, suggesting the transaction was executed in a favorable price window. Reviewing her prior sales at SO, her 90-day timing record shows 2 of 5 were well-timed (40%), with mixed recent outcomes: a March 2025 sale declined -5.2% over 90 days while a May 2024 sale gained +11.4%. The company's fundamentals remain robust with $7.8B quarterly revenue and +10.6% annual growth, though the P/E of 24.56 reflects elevated valuation. This substantial reduction in CEO equity stake warrants monitoring, though the timing near a 52-week high and the absence of coordinated selling elsewhere limits the immediate urgency.

Connally Stan W Sell
EVP & COO
12,500 shares
$1,214,125
@ $97.13
Significance 5/10

EVP & COO Connally Stan W sold 12,500 shares of SOUTHERN CO (SO) at $97.13 on 2026-03-18 for $1.2M

Connally Stan W, EVP & COO, sold 12,500 shares at $97.13, reducing holdings by 7.2% from 173,981 to 161,481 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $99.72, with the stock currently trading at $96.23. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell with an average 90-day return of -1.4% and a 90d well-timed rate of 100.00%, and his same-ticker history at SO shows his 2025-03-31 sale exhibited a 90d return of -1.4%, demonstrating consistent downside capture timing. The company reported $7.8B in latest quarterly revenue with 10.6% annual growth and net income of $1.7B, supporting a stable operational foundation. This sale by a senior executive merits attention as a data point in the overall insider activity pattern, though the modest reduction in holdings and recent strong near-term price momentum (+12.8% over 90 days) provide context for the transaction.

Cummiskey Christopher Sell
EVP
12,335 shares
$1,104,476
@ $89.54
Significance 4/10

EVP Christopher Cummiskey sells 12,335 shares of SO at $89.54; post-sale holdings 22,502 shares (-35.4% from prior level)

Christopher Cummiskey, EVP at Southern Co, sold 12,335 shares at $89.54 on 2025-05-23, reducing his shareholding from 34,837 shares to 22,502 shares—a 35.4% reduction in his position. The sale occurred at a price $0.38 below the current market price of $89.92 and near the mid-range of the 52-week trading band ($77.00–$94.15), reflecting no exceptional timing relative to recent volatility. The company's fundamentals remain stable, with net income of $1.3B on $7.8B in latest quarterly revenue and annual revenue growth of 5.8%, supporting a market cap of $98.8B. The material reduction in Cummiskey's holdings—disposing of more than one-third of his stake—represents a significant change in personal exposure to the company, though the limited context available does not indicate whether this reflects portfolio management, diversification, or other personal circumstances unrelated to company performance or outlook.

Southern Company's fundamentals show solid performance with $7.3B in latest quarterly revenue, $1.5B net income, and 5.8% annual revenue growth; the stock trades at a 20.14 P/E with a $100.7B market cap.

Greene Kimberly S, Sell
Chairman, President & CEO, GPC
32,190 shares
$2,997,533
@ $93.12
Significance 6/10

GPC Chairman & CEO Greene sold 32,190 SO shares at $93.12 for $2,997,532.80 on 2025-03-10; reduces stake 23.2%.

Greene Kimberly S, Chairman, President & CEO of GPC, sold 32,190 shares of Southern Co (SO) at $93.12, reducing her holdings from 139,009 to 106,819 shares—a 23.2% reduction in her position. The sale price of $93.12 was close to the 52-week high of $94.15, and the stock has since declined 4.3% from that high point to the current price of $90.10. Her prior four sales at SO show a mixed timing record: two sales in May 2024 were well-timed with 90-day gains of 11.4% and 11.1% respectively, but two earlier sales in 2023 were poorly timed, with one showing a 90-day loss of 8.5%. The cross-ticker track record shows a 50% well-timed sell rate with an average 90-day return of 2.6% after her sales. This transaction represents a material disposition of nearly a third of her SO holdings at a price near recent highs, warranting investor attention to the signal regarding her confidence in the company's near-term prospects.

Significance 4/10

SO CEO Christopher Womack sold 24,407 shares at $90.13 on 2025-03-03 for $2.2M; 87.7K shares remain.

Christopher Womack, Chairman, President & CEO of Southern Company, sold 24,407 shares at $90.13 on 2025-03-03 for a total value of $2,199,802.91. This sale reduced his holdings by 21.8%, from 112,127 shares to 87.7K shares. The transaction occurred when the stock was trading 4.5% below its 52-week high of $94.15. Based on SAME-TICKER HISTORY, his only prior trade in SO was a December 2024 sell with a negative 30-day return of -4.5%, but the company's fundamentals remain solid with $7.3B in latest quarterly revenue, $1.5B net income, and 5.8% annual revenue growth. The current transaction alone does not establish a pattern and occurs within the context of a large-cap utility company with stable valuation metrics.

Southern Co's fundamentals show revenue of $6,463,000,000.00 and net income of $1,188,000,000.00 in the latest quarter, though annual revenue growth declined 13.8% year-over-year and the P/E stands at 21.78.
