Anderson's prior 2 sales at STLD both achieved negative 90-day returns (-2.7% and -3.3%), consistent with his cross-ticker track record showing a 100.00% well-timed rate on prior sells. This transaction occurs as the stock trades within a 52-week range of $119.89–$280.49, and the company reports $5.2B in revenue, $403.4M net income, and a P/E of 28.23.

SVP Christopher A Graham sold 9,000 shares of STLD for $2.1M at blended $236.81, reducing holdings to 68.7K shares

Graham Christopher A, Senior Vice President at Steel Dynamics, executed 3 separate sales totaling 9,000 shares for $2,131,290.38 on 2026-05-13 at a blended average price of $236.81, bringing his post-transaction holdings to 68,747 shares. The stock currently trades at $229.74, down 5.7% from its 52-week high of $243.72 but up 18.4% over the past 30 days and 19.9% over 90 days. His prior open-market activity across all tickers shows a cross-ticker 90-day well-timed rate of 60.00%, though same-ticker history at STLD is mixed: 2 of his 5 prior sales at this ticker preceded gains (July 2025), while 3 preceded declines (May 2024). The context—substantial share reduction while the stock trades near recent highs but below 52-week peak—leaves the transaction's significance contingent on forward price movement rather than revealing a clear directional signal about management's view of intrinsic value.

Significance 4

Senior VP Richard Poinsatte sells 2,300 STLD shares for $538K; first open-market sale at company in 36 months.

Richard Poinsatte, Senior Vice President at Steel Dynamics, sold 2,300 shares in early May, reducing his direct holdings from approximately 30,918 to 28,618 shares. This marks his first open-market sale at STLD in the three-year window, though he has been disposing of shares elsewhere in his portfolio. The sale occurred as the stock trades modestly below its 52-week high after climbing sharply over the past three months, suggesting the executive chose to reduce exposure near recently elevated levels. Steel Dynamics remains a profitable company with stable annual revenue growth, providing context that this is not a fire-sale from a distressed business. Without prior open-market purchases at STLD by this executive, the absence of a buying pattern makes it difficult to characterize this as either conviction or concern—it appears to be a straightforward diversification of holdings rather than a signal about the company's near-term direction.

SVP Alvarez sells 4,825 STLD shares across 3 trades for $1.1M at avg $225.58; stock near 52-week high.

Miguel Alvarez, Senior Vice President at Steel Dynamics, executed 3 separate sales totaling 4,825 shares for $1,088,427.75 ($1.1M), reducing his holdings by 3.8% from 127,082 to 122,257 shares. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $225.11 to $227.82, with a blended average of $225.58, while the current price stands at $226.79—placing the transaction near the 52-week high of $227.46. Reviewing his prior trades at STLD, Alvarez has sold on 3 prior occasions with mixed timing: 2 of 3 prior sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark (negative subsequent returns), though the most recent sale in late October 2025 saw a +3.1% 30-day and +7.9% 90-day return, indicating the stock continued rising afterward. The broader context is a 30-day price advance of +30.7% and a 90-day advance of +25.1%, leaving the valuation at a notably elevated 42.39 P/E multiple relative to the company's recent quarterly net income of $403.7M on $4.8B revenue.

Significance 6

SVP Miguel Alvarez sold 8,251 STLD shares at $162.79 (1.3M); stock since fell to $158.18. Consistent sell pattern.

Alvarez sold 8,251 shares (6.6% of prior holdings) at $162.79, which was within 0.4% of the 52-week high of $163.47—near a local peak. His prior two sales at STLD (May 2025 and Nov 2024) both showed negative 90-day returns (-6.9% and -5.7% respectively), establishing a pattern of well-timed exits at this ticker. The current price of $158.18 reflects a -3.2% decline from the transaction price and the 52-week high, consistent with his historical timing. However, the stock has appreciated significantly over the past 30 and 90 days (+13.4% and +29.3%), suggesting this sale occurred after a substantial run-up. The company's annual revenue contracted 6.7% year-over-year while trading at a P/E of 20.49, which may warrant investor attention to underlying business momentum versus stock performance.

SVP Graham sells 12,000 STLD shares for $1.5M at $126.71 avg; prior 3 STLD sales all negative 90d returns

Graham Christopher A, Senior Vice President, executed 2 separate sales totaling 12,000 shares for $1,520,460.27, reducing holdings by 15.2% to 66,738 shares. His prior trades at STLD show a consistent pattern: 3 prior measurable sales all posted negative 90-day returns, with the most recent occurring on 2024-05-15 showing -14.2% and -14.3% at the 90-day mark. His cross-ticker track record across 6 prior sells also demonstrates a 100.00% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of -14.3%, indicating a historical tendency to sell before subsequent declines. The current price of $127.56 is -17.3% from the 52-week high and down 5.5% over 90 days, placing the stock in a period of weakness that aligns with the timing pattern of his prior sales.

SVP Alvarez sells 7,495 STLD shares at $135.26 for $1.0M; 5.6% stake reduction; stock at $135.38 current, down 12.3% from 52-week high.

Alvarez sold 7,495 shares at $135.26 on 2025-05-20, reducing his stake from 132,814 to 125,319 shares. STLD has appreciated 14.4% over the past 30 days but remains 12.3% below its 52-week high of $154.32. His historical track record across all tickers shows 1 prior sell with a 90-day return of -5.7%, which matches his single prior STLD transaction on 2024-11-13, also with a 90d return of -5.7%, representing well-timed prior sales. The company's annual revenue declined 6.7% year-over-year, though recent quarterly revenue stands at $4.4B with $217.2M in net income and a P/E of 17.18. This sale represents a modest reduction in a substantial held position rather than a material change in his ownership stake.

Senior VP Pushis Glenn sells 23,649 STLD shares at $134.67; stock now down -14.3% from 52-week high

Pushis Glenn, Senior Vice President, executed a $3,184,810.83 open-market sale of 23,649 shares at $134.67 on 2025-02-11, reducing holdings by 16.2% to 122,140 shares. The transaction occurred with STLD trading at $134.67, which is now down -14.3% from its 52-week high of $154.32. Glenn's prior sales at STLD have been well-timed at the 90-day mark (3 of 3 measurable prior sells at this ticker showed negative 90-day returns), and his cross-ticker sell track record reflects a 100% well-timed rate across 4 prior sales. Against the backdrop of STLD's annual revenue decline of -12.4% and a current valuation of P/E 11.48, the pattern of a material reduction in holdings by a senior executive—consistent with his historical timing patterns—merits monitoring for broader strategic signals.

SVP Alvarez sells 6,650 STLD shares at $143.00; retains 116,949 shares post-sale

Miguel Alvarez, Senior Vice President, sold 6,650 shares (6.6K shares) of Steel Dynamics at $143.00 on 2024-11-13, reducing his holdings from 123,599 shares to 116,949 shares—a -5.4% reduction. The sale occurred within the 52-week range ($107.44–$154.32), approximately -8.0% from the 52-week high, after the stock posted strong recent momentum of +9.0% over 30 days and +20.2% over 90 days. Steel Dynamics carries a lean valuation at P/E 12.32, though annual revenue has contracted -12.4% year-over-year, reflecting sector headwinds in the steel industry. The sale represents a routine reduction in a substantial remaining position ($950,950.00 in proceeds) rather than a full exit, with the executive maintaining meaningful stake in the company.

SVP Anderson James Stanley sold 10,000 STLD shares for $1,295,450.00 on 2024-10-22 at blended avg $129.54.

Anderson James Stanley, Senior Vice President at Steel Dynamics, executed 2 separate sales totaling 10,000 shares for $1,295,450.00 on 2024-10-22, reducing his holdings by 10.2% to 88,063 shares. The sales occurred at prices ($129.35 and $130.13) below the current price of $131.80 and near the 52-week range midpoint, while the stock has gained 10.0% over the past 30 days and 6.9% over 90 days. Steel Dynamics faces structural headwinds with annual revenue down 12.4% year-over-year, though the company maintains a modest P/E of 10.10 and generated $428.0M in net income on $4.6B in latest quarterly revenue. The sale represents a routine liquidation by a senior executive; without a disclosed trading plan or pattern of prior transactions at this ticker, the transaction is isolated and does not establish a broader conviction signal.
