Adams Katherine L.

Apple SVP/GC Adams sells 47,125 shares ($12.1M) at $256.79 avg; retains 179,158 shares. Pattern: 4 of 5 prior AAPL sales well-timed (negative 90d returns).

Katherine L. Adams executed 4 separate sales totaling 47,125 shares for $12,101,153.94 at prices ranging from $254.83 to $257.54, reducing her holdings by 20.8%. This filing is notable because Adams has demonstrated a strong pattern of well-timed selling at Apple specifically: 4 of her 5 prior AAPL sales showed negative 90-day returns, meaning the stock declined after she sold. Her April 2025 AAPL sales each posted 30-day declines of -7.4% to -8.6% and 90-day declines of -6.2% to -7.5%, indicating disciplined exit timing. Against the current trading backdrop (stock near 52-week highs at $258.02, up 8.2% in 30 days and 20.8% in 90 days), this scale of reduction warrants investor attention as a potential signal from an executive with a demonstrated track record of selling ahead of weakness at this specific ticker.

SVP Katherine L. Adams sold 38,822 shares in 4 transactions for $8,683,252.43 at $223.67 avg; stock now -21.6% from 52-week high

Katherine L. Adams, SVP, GC and Secretary, executed 4 separate sales totaling 38,822 (38.8K shares) for $8,683,252.43 ($8.7M) on 2025-04-02, reducing her position by -17.8% vs pre-transaction holdings to 179,158 shares (179.2K shares). The sales occurred at prices ranging from $221.68 to $224.62 (blended average $223.67), and the stock has since declined to a current price of $203.19, -21.6% from its 52-week high and -13.9% over 30 days. Adams' prior 5 trades at AAPL (all on 2024-10-02) showed 90-day post-sale returns of +10.2% to +11.9%, meaning the stock rose after those sells; none of her prior same-ticker sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark. This transaction represents a significant volume reduction in her holdings near levels that have since proven to be intermediate highs, but against the backdrop of her historical performance at AAPL showing poor timing on the downside, the current directional move cannot be attributed to a clear pattern of predictive foresight.

SVP Katherine Adams sells 61.0K AAPL shares for $13.8M at blended avg $226.20; retains 187.0K shares

Katherine L. Adams, SVP General Counsel and Secretary, executed 5 separate sales totaling 61,019 shares for $13,802,297.06 on 2024-10-02 at prices ranging from $223.79 to $227.24. The sale reduced her holdings by 24.6%, from 248,062 to 187,043 shares, representing a substantial but not complete exit. Her cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 14.29%, indicating historically poor timing on sales. At this specific ticker (AAPL), her prior 5 sales show mixed outcomes: only 1 of 3 measurable 90-day periods was well-timed (negative return after sale), while 2 saw subsequent gains of 28.3% and 11.1%, suggesting her prior AAPL sales were generally poorly timed. The current stock price of $225.67 sits near the blended transaction average of $226.20, close to the 52-week high of $234.82.

SVP/GC Katherine Adams sold 100,000 shares of AAPL at avg $206.44 for $20.6M; retains 187,043 shares post-transaction

Katherine L. Adams, SVP, General Counsel and Secretary, executed two separate sales totaling 100,000 shares ($20.6M) on 2024-08-05 at a blended average price of $206.44. The sale represents a -34.8% reduction from her pre-transaction holdings of 287,043 shares, leaving her with 187,043 shares. At her prior trades at AAPL, 4 of 5 prior sells were followed by positive 90-day returns (ranging from +11.1% to +28.3%), while only 1 of 5 prior trades at this ticker showed negative 90-day returns; this sale occurred when the stock is -10.6% from its 52-week high and follows a 90-day gain of +13.7%. The sustained high level of retained ownership (187.0K shares) signals ongoing material investment in the company despite the material divestiture.
