Arthur D Levinson sold 50,000 shares of AAPL at $311.02 for $15,551,000.00; stock near 52-week high, prior AAPL sales saw +9.0%–+10.1% 30-day returns.

Director Arthur D Levinson sold 50,000 shares (50.0K shares) of Apple Inc. at $311.02 on 2026-05-27, reducing holdings from 3,749,576 to 3,699,576 shares (a -1.3% reduction in pre-transaction holdings).

The transaction represents routine portfolio activity by a substantial shareholder with a multi-year history of occasional sales at this ticker.

250,000 shares

Significance 4/10

Apple director Arthur D Levinson sold 250K+ shares for $71M, continuing a pattern of six consecutive sales with no open-market purchases in three years.

Arthur D Levinson, a board director at Apple, sold over 250,000 shares in a single transaction for approximately $71 million while the stock trades at near its 52-week high. This sale continues an unbroken pattern: Levinson has executed six prior open-market sales in the past 36 months with zero open-market purchases, marking a purely liquidation-focused posture. Notably, all five of his prior sales at Apple saw the stock appreciate afterward—each exit was poorly timed in hindsight, suggesting this director has consistently misjudged momentum at the company. Apple remains fundamentally healthy with strong profitability and significant revenue scale, so the sale does not appear driven by company deterioration. However, the combination of persistent selling despite poor prior timing, plus the absence of any countering purchases, suggests Levinson may be managing his personal portfolio exposure rather than expressing tactical conviction about Apple's near-term direction.

Significance 4/10

Director Levinson sells 90,000 AAPL shares ($20.9M) on 2025-08-28 at $232.07; retains 4.07M shares.

Arthur D. Levinson sold 90,000 shares at $232.07 for $20,886,300.00, reducing his holdings from 4,159,576 to 4,069,576 shares. This represents a -2.2% reduction in his AAPL position, leaving him with substantial remaining exposure. The sale occurred at $232.07 while the stock now trades at $232.14 (current), within its 52-week range of $172.42–$259.02 and -10.4% from the 52-week high. Examining his prior sales at AAPL: across 5 previous transactions, the 90-day returns ranged from +5.2% to +18.2%, with 0 of 5 sales occurring before subsequent declines (90d well-timed rate 0.00%). This pattern—consistent positive returns following his prior sales—indicates his timing has historically not anticipated downturns at this ticker. The current transaction does not signal new directional conviction; rather, it reflects continued modest liquidation activity consistent with his pattern over the past 12 months.

Significance 5/10

Director Arthur Levinson sells 200,000 AAPL shares across 3 trades for $45,464,500.00 at blended $227.32

Arthur D. Levinson sold 200,000 shares (4.6% of pre-transaction holdings) through three separate transactions executed over four trading days (November 15, 18, and 19, 2024) at prices ranging from $224.68 to $229.28, realizing $45,464,500.00. At current price of $228.28, the stock has remained relatively stable since these sales, down 2.9% over the past 30 days. Levinson's prior two sales at Apple occurred on 2024-05-30 and 2024-02-29; the May sale captured 9.9% 30-day appreciation followed by 18.2% 90-day appreciation, while the February sale returned -5.2% at 30 days and +5.2% at 90 days—a pattern showing 0 of 2 prior sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark. His cross-ticker track record across all tickers shows 2 prior sells with a 0.00% well-timed rate at 90 days, indicating these sales were not followed by declines. The multitransaction nature and timing spread across three days merit monitoring to assess whether this activity follows his historical pattern or signals a different directional conviction.
