RA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, L.P. Buy
8,772,496 shares
$54,624,378
@ $6.23
Significance 7/10

RA Capital Management bought 8,772,496 shares at $6.23 blended average, expanding stake to 26.98M shares (+48.2%), while WVE stock is down -68.9% from 52-week high.

RA Capital Management, a director at Wave Life Sciences, executed 4 separate purchases totaling 8,772,496 shares for $54,624,377.99 between March 26–30, 2026, at a blended average price of $6.23. This represents a material 48.2% increase in the director's holdings from 18.20M to 26.98M shares. The accumulation is notable given WVE's recent performance: the stock currently trades at $6.62, down -68.9% from its 52-week high of $21.31 and down -52.5% over the past 30 days. Underlying fundamentals show deterioration: the company generated $8.7M in quarterly revenue (down -60.6% year-over-year), posted a net loss of $53.9M, and remains unprofitable. The insider's cross-ticker track record shows strong historical buy outcomes (11 prior buys, 100% 90-day win rate, avg 90d return +69.8%), though this signals buying discipline more broadly rather than predictive power specific to WVE, where measurable same-ticker outcomes are absent.

GSK plc Buy
1,470,000 shares
$27,930,000
@ $19.00
Significance 8/10

GSK (10% owner) adds 1,470,000 shares of WVE at $19.00; stake rises to 18.25M (+8.8%). Stock now -24.4% from 52-week high, unprofitable company.

GSK plc, a 10% shareholder, purchased 1,470,000 shares at $19.00 on 2025-12-11, increasing its position to 18,245,691 shares from 16,775,691 shares pre-transaction. This represents an additional $27,930,000.00 commitment at a price well above the current $16.11 market level, with the stock trading -24.4% from its 52-week high of $21.31. Notably, Wave Life Sciences remains fundamentally challenged—the company generated only $8.7M in revenue last quarter and posted a net loss of $53.9M, with annual revenue declining 4.4% year-over-year and the company unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. GSK's prior two trades at WVE both showed strong 90-day returns (+80.6% and +25.8%), establishing a pattern of well-timed entry points; however, the current purchase at $19.00 sits at a price level above today's market, raising questions about near-term momentum and the timing of this latest accumulation against the company's deteriorating financial trajectory.

441,031 shares
$6,427,085
@ $14.57
Significance 8/10

Francis Chris sold 441,031 shares (94.6% of holdings) in 9 transactions for $6.4M on 2025-12-08; stock up 187% in 30 days.

Francis Chris executed 9 separate sales totaling 441,031 shares for $6,427,084.96 at a blended average price of $14.57, reducing his holdings from 466,031 shares to 25,000 shares. His prior trades at Wave Life Sciences show a 100% well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark (all 4 prior sales preceded declines), suggesting a track record of selling ahead of downturns at this ticker. However, the current stock price of $20.23 sits +187.0% above the transaction price within just 30 days, contradicting the timing signal from his historical pattern. The company's recent fundamentals reveal net income of $-53,852,000 and negative annual revenue growth of -4.4%, yet the stock has surged dramatically since his sales, indicating either a strong market-driven rally decoupled from fundamentals or a significant market reassessment not yet reflected in the latest reported numbers.

HENRY CHRISTIAN O Sell
93,445 shares
$1,369,324
@ $14.65
Significance 6/10

Director HENRY CHRISTIAN O sold 93.4K shares (88.0% of holdings) for $1.4M across 4 transactions on 2025-12-08

HENRY CHRISTIAN O executed 4 separate sales totaling 93,445 shares for $1,369,323.75, reducing his holding from 106.1K to 12.7K shares. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $12.75 to $18.02, with a blended average of $14.65, occurring while the stock currently trades at $20.23 (up 187.0% over 30 days and 182.5% over 90 days). Despite the sharp recent rally, the director liquidated nearly 88% of his position at prices well below the current market. The company reported a net loss of $-53.9M on revenue of $8.7M in the latest quarter and declined 4.4% year-over-year, though it maintains a $3.4B market cap. The director's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell with a 100.00% well-timed rate (measuring 90-day post-sale declines), though this represents limited same-ticker precedent at Wave Life Sciences.

Moran Kyle Sell
Chief Financial Officer

@ $15.78
Significance 7/10

CFO Kyle Moran sold 260,036 shares for $4,103,979.00 at Wave Life Sciences on 2025-12-08/09, reducing holdings by 74.2%

Kyle Moran, CFO of Wave Life Sciences, executed 6 separate sales totaling 260,036 shares for $4,103,979.00 across December 8–9, 2025, at prices ranging from $13.20 to $20.25 and a blended average of $15.78. This sale reduced his holdings from 350,401 shares to 90,365 shares, a -74.2% reduction. The timing coincides with notable stock appreciation: the company has appreciated 187.0% over the prior 30 days and 182.5% over 90 days, from a 52-week low of $5.48 toward a 52-week high of $21.31 (current price $20.23, -5.1% from peak). Against this backdrop, the company remains unprofitable with net income of $-53,852,000.00 on $8,699,000.00 in latest quarterly revenue, and has experienced -4.4% annual revenue decline. The substantial reduction in the CFO's stake during a period of steep price appreciation in an unprofitable business warrants investor attention to the underlying fundamentals and whether the recovery in valuation is sustainable.

Significance 7/10

Director Tan Aik Na sold 134,218 shares for $1,823,158.50, reducing holdings by 84.1% in 8 separate transactions on 2025-12-08

Director Tan Aik Na executed 8 separate sales on 2025-12-08 totaling 134,218 shares for $1,823,158.50, reducing his holdings from 159,618 shares to 25,400 shares—a reduction of 84.1% of his pre-transaction position. The sales occurred at two distinct price points ($12.75 and $15.00), with a blended average price of $13.58, and follow a period of significant stock appreciation: the stock has risen 187.0% over the prior 30 days and 182.5% over the prior 90 days. The company remains unprofitable with a net income of $-53,852,000.00 against quarterly revenue of $8,699,000.00, and annual revenue is declining at -4.4%. The substantial scale of the liquidation—84.1% of holdings—combined with the dramatic recent price appreciation and the company's ongoing unprofitability, represents material insider activity that warrants investor attention.

RA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, L.P. Buy
1,000 shares
$6,688
@ $6.69
Significance 4/10

RA Capital Management Director buys 1,000 shares of WVE at $6.69; stock down 56.9% from 52-week high amid unprofitable operations.

RA Capital Management, L.P. purchased 1,000 shares at $6.69, a modest transaction representing a 0.0% increase to an already substantial 18.20M share position, in a company trading 56.9% below its 52-week high of $16.44. Wave Life Sciences continues to operate unprofitably with a net loss of $-53.9M against quarterly revenue of $8.7M and annual revenue decline of -4.4%, indicating structural operational challenges. Across all tickers, the insider's historical track record shows 2 prior buys against 18 prior sells, suggesting a predominantly exit-oriented pattern. The combination of a financially distressed issuer, steep recent price declines, and this insider's historical preference for liquidation over accumulation suggests the purchase reflects a relatively small, non-directional position adjustment rather than a material conviction signal.

BOLNO PAUL Sell
President and CEO
217,351 shares
$2,194,810
@ $10.10
Significance 7/10

CEO BOLNO PAUL sold 217.4K shares at $10.10, reducing stake -64.2% to 121.0K shares; prior 4 WVE sales all declined 90-day post-sale.

BOLNO PAUL executed a substantial divestiture, selling 217,351 shares for $2,194,810.40 on 2025-08-22 at $10.10 per share, reducing his holdings from 338,351 to 121,000 shares—a 64.2% reduction in his equity stake. His prior 4 open-market sales at WVE (on 2025-03-07, 2024-11-25, 2024-11-15, and 2024-10-16) all posted negative 90-day returns ranging from -24.6% to -29.5%, indicating a consistent pattern of well-timed exits before subsequent declines. Wave Life Sciences is currently unprofitable (net income $-50.5M in the latest period), operates at a $1.6B market cap, and has contracted revenue year-over-year (-4.4%), factors that warrant scrutiny of the insider's confidence level given the magnitude of this exit relative to his remaining position.

BOLNO PAUL Sell

Significance 7/10

WVE CEO BOLNO sold 169,025 shares at $9.57; stock down 42.8% from 52-week high, down 38.4% in 90 days post-last-sale.

BOLNO PAUL, President and CEO, sold 169,025 shares of Wave Life Sciences Ltd. at $9.57 on 2025-03-07, reducing holdings by 33.3% to 338,351 shares. This sale occurs as the stock trades at $9.40 current price, -42.8% from its 52-week high of $16.44 and down 38.4% over the past 90 days. His three prior sales at WVE (2024-10-16, 2024-11-15, 2024-11-25) all generated negative 90-day returns (-25.8%, -24.6%, -25.8% respectively), with a 100% timing success rate, establishing a pattern of selling ahead of material declines. Fundamentally, WVE is unprofitable with $-61.8M net income on $19.7M quarterly revenue and negative 4.4% annual revenue growth, indicating operational stress. The combination of a 33.3% share reduction by the CEO during a steep downtrend, paired with a historical track record of well-timed exits before further weakness at this same ticker, alongside deteriorating fundamentals, warrants investor scrutiny of the company's near-term outlook.

BOLNO PAUL Sell
President and CEO
50,000 shares
$750,000
@ $15.00
Significance 5/10

WVE: CEO Paul Bolno sells 50,000 shares ($750.0K) on 2024-11-25, retaining 217.4K shares as stock trades -8.8% from 52-week high.

CEO Paul Bolno sold 50,000 shares at $15.00 on 2024-11-25, reducing his stake by 18.7% while retaining 217.4K shares. The transaction occurred after a sustained rally—the stock is up 162.5% over the past 90 days—near its 52-week high of $16.44. However, the company remains unprofitable with a net income of $-61.8M against quarterly revenue of $19.7M, despite exceptional annual revenue growth of 3005.1%. Bolno's prior two sales at WVE show a mixed record (one with -8.9% 30-day return), and his cross-ticker track record shows an average 30-day return of -8.9% on prior sells; the current stock is already -8.8% from its 52-week peak, providing limited insight into whether this particular sale will prove well-timed.
