Michael J Embler, a Director at Ventas, purchased 2,500 shares at $78.81 on 2026-06-03, bringing his total holdings from 16,701 to 19,201 shares. The transaction occurred near the 52-week low range: the current stock price is $82.02, down 5.3% over 30 days and down 9.9% from its 52-week high of $91.06.

EVP and GC Roberts Carey S. sold 35,532 shares of VTR at $85.00 for $3.0M; holdings drop to 101.6K shares (-25.9%)

Roberts Carey S., EVP and General Counsel at Ventas, Inc., sold 35,532 shares at $85.00 on 2026-02-11, reducing his holdings by 25.9% from 137.1K to 101.6K shares. This represents a material reduction in his personal stake in the company, worth $3.0M at execution. His prior sell at VTR on 2025-05-30 resulted in a 90-day return of +5.2%, indicating the stock rose after that sale—marking poorly-timed execution on his previous trade at this ticker. The current sale occurs with VTR near its 52-week high of $85.69 (within 0.5%), and the stock has gained 10.8% over the past 30 days and 9.3% over 90 days, though his cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00% across all his open-market activity.

CEO Debra A. Cafaro sold 10,322 shares of VTR at $82.23 on 2026-02-06; stock now at 52-week high.

Cafaro sold 10,322 shares (10.3K shares) valued at $848,751.22 ($848.8K), reducing her holdings from 1,124,356 to 1,114,034 shares—a net reduction of 0.9% of her prior position. The sale occurred at $82.23, which is now $1.67 below the current price of $83.90 and $0.0% from the 52-week high of $83.90, suggesting a sale near elevated valuation levels. Her cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed rate across 20 prior sells, with average 90-day returns of +6.1% post-sale, indicating her prior sales have not preceded stock declines. At VTR specifically, of 1 prior sell with a measurable 90-day outcome, zero were well-timed (the sale on 2025-11-06 was followed by a 90-day return of +3.6%). With a P/E of 94.27, the stock carries a notably elevated valuation multiple, and the 30-day gain of +12.0% reflects recent momentum that may constrain near-term upside.

Ventas CEO Debra A Cafaro sold 10,322 shares at $77.66 on 2026-02-02; retains 1,114,034 shares post-sale.

Cafaro executed a small open-market sale of 10,322 shares (0.9% of pre-transaction holdings), representing a nominal reduction in her VTR position while maintaining substantial share ownership of 1.11M shares. At $77.66, the transaction occurred 4.1% below the 52-week high of $81.00 and near current price of $77.69, in a context where the stock is up 3.6% over 90 days and 0.5% over 30 days. Her cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark (sales followed by stock appreciation), and at VTR specifically, her prior 5 trades show only 1 of 1 measurable 90-day outcome was not well-timed, with her most recent prior sale on 2025-11-05 yielding a 3.2% decline over 90 days. The modest sale size and retention of over 1.1M shares reflect a minor adjustment within a substantially committed equity position.

Debra A. Cafaro (CEO) sold 10,322 shares of Ventas at $77.26 on 2026-01-02, retaining 1.14M shares.

Cafaro sold 10,322 shares (-0.9% of pre-transaction holdings) at $77.26 on 2026-01-02, reducing her stake from 1.15M to 1.14M shares. At the current price of $76.14, VTR is down 6.0% from its 52-week high of $81.00 and down 5.6% over the past 30 days, though up 12.0% over 90 days. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $1.5B and net income of $68.7M in the latest quarter, with 9.5% annual revenue growth, but a elevated P/E of 143.66 warrants attention. Across Cafaro's entire cross-ticker trading history, her 20 prior sells averaged a 90-day return of +7.4% with a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating her past sales have not preceded downturns; at VTR specifically, her 5 prior sells over November–December 2025 show mixed recent timing, with the most recent sale on 2025-12-01 followed by a -3.9% 30-day return.

CFO Probst sells 29,930 VTR shares at $77.25; holdings drop to 136,159; stock now $76.14

Robert F Probst, EVP and CFO, sold 29,930 shares of Ventas on 2026-01-02 at $77.25 for a total value of $2,312,188.28, reducing holdings by 18.0% to 136,159 shares. This was one of five prior sells at VTR over the preceding six months, part of a consistent pattern of discretionary stock reduction. At his cross-ticker track record, the average 90-day return after his nine prior sells across all tickers was 7.2%, indicating his prior sales have been poorly timed; however, at VTR specifically, his 4 measurable prior sales (excluding the most recent 2025-11-12 sale) posted a 0.00% well-timed rate, with three of four generating positive 90-day returns. The stock has declined 5.6% in the 30 days since this sale, and the company's elevated P/E of 143.66 relative to net income of $68,708,000 reflects valuation pressure despite solid 9.5% annual revenue growth to $1,488,996,000.

Debra A. Cafaro (CEO) sells 10,322 shares of Ventas at $80.55; retains 1,145,695 shares post-transaction.

Debra A. Cafaro, Chairman and CEO of Ventas Inc., executed an open-market sale of 10,322 shares at $80.55 on 2025-12-01, reducing her holdings by 0.9% to 1,145,695 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $80.63, with the stock trading at $80.00 currently (+7.9% over 30 days and +18.1% over 90 days). Cafaro's cross-ticker track record of 20 prior sells shows a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating her sells have historically been followed by stock appreciation rather than declines. At Ventas specifically, she executed four additional sells in November (2025-11-03, 2025-11-04, 2025-11-05, 2025-11-06, and 2025-11-17), creating a clustering pattern of discretionary dispositions over a compressed timeframe. The 150.94 P/E ratio reflects an expensive valuation, though the underlying business shows solid fundamentals with 9.5% annual revenue growth and $1.5B quarterly revenue.

VTR Chairman/CEO Cafaro sells 41,294 shares ($3.3M) at $79.01; stock now at 52-week high.

CAFARO DEBRA A, as Chairman and CEO, sold 41,294 shares of Ventas, Inc. at $79.01 on 2025-11-17, reducing holdings by 3.5% from 1,186,989 to 1,145,695 shares. The transaction occurred just below the current price of $80.00, which sits at the 52-week high of $80.00, and represents a selling activity that coincides with elevated recent price momentum (+11.9% over 30 days, +15.7% over 90 days). His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 14.29%, indicating relatively poor timing historically on sell decisions. At VTR specifically, he executed five sells in rapid succession from 2025-11-03 through 2025-11-06, with outcomes for those transactions not yet measurable (all recent). The valuation context shows a high P/E of 150.94 and modest net income of $68.7M against $1.5B in quarterly revenue, suggesting the stock has priced in significant growth expectations.

Ventas CFO Robert F Probst sold 33,591 shares at $76.77 on 2025-11-12 (total $2.6M), reducing holdings 16.6% to 168.4K shares.

Robert F Probst, EVP and CFO, sold 33,591 shares of VTR at $76.77 for $2,578,844.89, reducing his holdings by 16.6% in a single transaction. The current price of $78.00 is at the 52-week high, and the stock has appreciated 13.2% over the past 30 days and 15.1% over 90 days. Probst's prior five sales at VTR have not been well-timed: 0 of 5 resulted in negative 90-day returns, meaning the stock subsequently rose after each of his prior sales at this ticker. His cross-ticker track record across 8 prior sells shows an average 90-day return of +7.2% with a well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating a pattern of selling before rallies rather than declines. The company's P/E ratio of 147.17 is notably elevated, though the business shows solid fundamentals with $1.5B in latest-quarter revenue and 9.5% annual revenue growth.

VTR CEO Debra Cafaro sold 30,966 shares for $2.3M at $75.02–$75.29 on Nov 4–6; holds 1.15M shares post-sale.

CEO Debra Cafaro executed 3 separate sales totaling 30,966 shares for $2,328,308.17 across three consecutive trading days (Nov 4–6), at prices ranging $75.02–$75.29, near the current price of $74.95 and within 0.0% of the 52-week high of $74.98. This sale reduced her position by 2.6% to 1,145,695 shares. Across her cross-ticker track record, Cafaro's 20 prior sells averaged a 90-day return of -2.0% with a 40.00% well-timed rate; however, her 5 prior VTR sales remain unmeasurable in outcome, precluding assessment of whether this latest multi-day sale pattern reflects any signal specific to this holding. The stock has risen 8.9% over 30 days and 9.3% over 90 days, and her blended execution price of $75.19 captures value near recent highs, but without established timing pattern at this ticker or stated rationale in the filing, the transaction is purely observable: a moderate-sized liquidation by the CEO at elevated valuations.
