CEO Anish Bhatnagar sells 699,095 shares for $47,271,960.09 across 12 transactions on 2025-03-27, reducing holdings by 54.8%
Anish Bhatnagar, Chief Executive Officer of Soleno Therapeutics, executed a substantial liquidation of 699,095 shares (699.1K shares) across 12 separate transactions on 2025-03-27, generating $47,271,960.09 at a blended average price of $67.62, and reducing his post-transaction holdings to 577,076 shares (577.1K shares)—a 54.8% reduction of his pre-transaction stake. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $71.99 (current price $71.45 is -0.8% from peak), with the stock up 46.4% over 30 days and 59.0% over 90 days, indicating a period of significant appreciation preceding the sale. The CEO's prior trades at SLNO show 2 of 2 measurable sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark (both posted negative 90-day returns of -8.2% and -9.8%), suggesting a pattern of selling ahead of declines at this ticker. The company remains unprofitable (net income $-76,616,000.00 for the latest full fiscal year) despite strong revenue growth of 138.8%, creating a fundamental tension between near-term momentum and long-term cash burn.
