Geoffrey A Ballotti Sell
President and CEO
18,516 shares
$1,495,978
@ $80.79
Significance 4/10

CEO Geoffrey Ballotti sells 18,516 WH shares for $1.5M under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan on 2026-06-15

Geoffrey A. Ballotti, President and CEO of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, executed 3 separate sales totaling 18,516 shares for $1,495,978.37 under a 10b5-1 trading plan adopted 2026-03-11, reducing non-derivative holdings to 548,308 shares from 566,824. The sale was scheduled and systematic rather than discretionary. Post-transaction, Ballotti retains 61,287 shares in non-qualified stock options, representing continued derivative exposure. The sales occurred at a blended average price of $80.79 against the current price of $83.57, and the stock is up 7.0% over the past 30 days and 5.7% over 90 days. The structured, pre-arranged nature of the transaction removes market-timing inference; this represents a routine vest-and-sell execution consistent with equity compensation management by a major stakeholder.

Melancon Monica Sell
Chief Human Resource Officer
8,861 shares
$661,932
@ $74.70
Significance 4/10

CHRO Monica Melancon sells 8,861 shares of WH at $74.70; stock down 8.3% in 30 days, -25.3% from 52-week high.

Monica Melancon, Chief Human Resource Officer, sold 8,861 shares at $74.70 on 2026-03-11, reducing her position by -30.2% to 20,435 shares. The transaction occurred in a context of recent stock weakness: WH trades at $73.59, down 8.3% over the past 30 days and down 25.3% from the 52-week high of $98.55. The company has generated solid recent fundamentals with $105.0M in net income against $382.0M quarterly revenue, though annual revenue growth remains modest at +1.5% and the stock trades at a P/E of 22.85. The sale represents a material reduction in the CHRO's direct stake but does not indicate an isolated insider position given the ongoing 20,435-share holding post-transaction.

Cash Paul F Sell
General Counsel & Corp. Secy.
19,800 shares
$1,506,619
@ $76.09
Significance 4/10

GC Paul Cash sold 19,800 shares at blended avg $76.09 on 2026-03-06 for $1.5M; now holds 27.9K shares.

Paul F. Cash, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, executed 4 separate sales totaling 19,800 shares for $1,506,619.39 on 2026-03-06, reducing holdings by 41.5% from 47.7K shares. The sales occurred at prices ($75.13, $76.03, $77.32, $78.03) that were notably above the current price of $73.93, representing a -29.8% decline from the 52-week high of $105.27. His prior sale at this ticker (2025-11-14) posted a positive 90-day return of 8.4%, indicating the stock rose after that sale rather than falling—a pattern of poor timing for detecting downward moves. This current sell occurs as WH trades below its recent range and the 30-day price momentum is negative (-4.4%), though fundamentals show a P/E of 22.96 and recent quarterly net income of $105.0M on revenue of $382.0M.

Ballotti Geoffrey A Sell
President and CEO
55,124 shares
$4,369,825
@ $79.27
Significance 7/10

CEO Geoffrey Ballotti sells 55,124 shares at blended $79.27 for $4.4M, reducing holdings 10.1%; prior WH trades mostly well-timed.

Geoffrey Ballotti, President and CEO of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, executed 3 separate sales totaling 55,124 shares for $4,369,824.84 at prices ranging from $79.14 to $80.55 on 2026-01-15, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 490,028 shares. His prior 5 trades at WH show a 4 of 5 well-timed pattern at the 90-day horizon, with 4 of the 5 sales followed by negative 90-day returns (ranging from -2.7% to -18.4%), suggesting pattern consistency in sale timing. The current price of $80.21 places the stock at -28.3% from its 52-week high of $111.91, meaning the CEO sold into a price environment that has recently weakened substantially; the 30-day and 90-day changes (+2.5% and -0.4% respectively) show modest near-term movement. Investors should track whether this sale precedes further deterioration or signals a tactical window-dressing decision in an environment where the company's fundamentals (0.8% annual revenue growth, P/E 17.94, $6.1B market cap) show maturity and modest near-term momentum.

Significance 5/10

CCO Strickland sells 29,103 shares across 2 transactions for $2.1M at $71.15 avg; cuts holdings 41.9%

Scott R. Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, executed 2 separate sales totaling 29,103 shares for $2,070,618.99 between December 8–9, 2025. His post-transaction holdings of 40,363 shares represent a 41.9% reduction from pre-transaction holdings of 69,466 shares. The blended average sale price of $71.15 sits 3.2% below the current market price of $73.52, and the stock is trading 34.3% below its 52-week high of $111.91. No scheduled trading plan flag is noted in the filing, and the company's fundamentals show solid profitability (net income of $105,000,000.00 on revenue of $382,000,000.00) with a moderate P/E of 16.45.

Significance 6/10

General Counsel Paul F Cash sold 36,379 shares (48.2% of holdings) at $71.66; stock down 35.6% YTD from $111.91 high.

Paul F Cash, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, sold 36,379 shares for $2.6M, reducing holdings from 75,502 to 39,123 shares—a 48.2% reduction in his position. The sale occurred at $71.66 per share, while the stock currently trades at $72.08 but has declined 35.6% from its 52-week high of $111.91 and dropped 18.0% over the past 90 days. The company shows modest fundamentals with net income of $105.0M on revenue of $382.0M (quarterly) and only 0.8% annual revenue growth, coupled with a P/E ratio of 16.13. The substantial liquidation of nearly half his holdings during a period of significant stock depreciation and modest business growth warrants investor attention to whether this reflects confidence constraints or other considerations regarding the company's medium-term outlook.

Ballotti Geoffrey A Sell
President and CEO
53,206 shares
$4,684,338
@ $88.04
Significance 6/10

Wyndham Hotels CEO Geoffrey A. Ballotti sells 53,206 shares for $4,684,337.73 on Aug 15–18.

Geoffrey A. Ballotti, President and CEO of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, executed 4 separate sales totaling 53,206 shares for $4,684,337.73 at a blended average price of $88.04, reducing his holdings by 10.0% from 532,878 to 479,672 shares. The sales occurred during a period when the stock was trading 21.4% below its 52-week high of $111.91 and have occurred at prices just above the current market price of $87.95. His same-ticker sales history at WH shows only 1 of 5 prior trades were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with recent May 2025 sales producing 30-day declines of -9.6%, -8.4%, -7.7%, and -8.6%, followed by modest 90-day gains ranging from +1.4% to +5.2%. The company fundamentals remain mixed: revenue of $397,000,000 in the latest quarter with net income of $87,000,000, but annual growth was only +0.8%, and the stock trades at a P/E of 19.99 after a recent +2.9% quarterly gain.

@ $86.16
Significance 6/10

Wyndham CEO Ballotti sells 53,374 shares (10.2% of holdings) across 4 transactions for $4,598,839.44 in mid-May

Geoffrey Ballotti, President and CEO of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, executed 4 separate sales totaling 53,374 shares for $4,598,839.44 between May 15–16, 2025, at an average price of $86.16 per share, reducing his holdings from 520,768 shares to 467,394 shares. The stock currently trades at $88.26, up 8.4% over the past 30 days but down 20.8% over 90 days and 21.1% from its 52-week high of $111.91. Ballotti's prior five sales at Wyndham (all in mid-December 2024) exhibited a 100% well-timed pattern, with each followed by a 90-day decline ranging from 10.2% to 13.5%. However, his broader cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -7.0% following sells, with a 71.43% well-timed rate, suggesting modest predictive consistency that does not necessarily apply to this single transaction or ticker in isolation.

ALLEN MICHELE Sell
CFO & Head of Strategy
16,371 shares
$1,695,742
@ $103.58
Significance 6/10

CFO Michele Allen sold 16,371 shares at blended average $103.58 on 2024-12-17, reducing stake by 61.9% to 10,056 shares post-transaction.

Michele Allen (CFO & Head of Strategy) executed 2 separate sales totaling 16,371 shares for $1,695,742.47 at prices near the 52-week high of $104.83, disposed of nearly 62% of her holdings in a single day. The stock has since declined 6.1% from its 52-week high to the current price of $98.44, placing the execution within the upper portion of recent price action despite the subsequent pullback. Her prior trades at WH show mixed timing: the October 2024 sell recorded a +7.4% 30-day return (poorly timed; stock rose after), while three more recent sales on 2024-12-10 lack measurable outcomes. In cross-ticker context, her historical sell activity averaged a +7.4% 30-day return, suggesting a pattern of selling before near-term rallies rather than declines. The company trades at a P/E of 30.29 with negative annual revenue growth of -6.7%, and this divestiture removes substantial executive equity exposure at valuations near peak levels.

Ballotti Geoffrey A Sell
President and CEO
50,070 shares
$5,185,075
@ $103.56
Significance 6/10

CEO Ballotti sells 50.1K shares at blended $103.56 average across 5 transactions for $5.2M

Geoffrey A Ballotti, President and CEO of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, executed 5 separate sales totaling 50,070 shares for $5,185,074.56 ($5.2M) on December 16-17, 2024 at prices ranging from $102.62 to $104.01. The blended average sale price of $103.56 compares to the current price of $98.44, representing a 5.2% premium to where the stock trades today. Post-transaction holdings of 392,939 shares represent an 11.3% reduction from pre-transaction holdings of 443,009 shares. The sales occurred when the stock was near its 52-week high of $104.83 (within 2.3% of peak). Ballotti's prior 2 sales at Wyndham both produced positive 90-day returns (+2.9% and +6.6%), meaning the insider sold before subsequent gains each time—neither trade was well-timed in the conventional sense of selling before a decline.
