CEO Barbara Rentler sold 48,885 shares of ROST for $7.5M at $153.93; stock now -2.2% from 52-week high
Barbara Rentler, Chief Executive Officer of Ross Stores, sold 48,885 shares on 2024-08-27 for $7,524,672.51 at $153.93 per share, reducing her holdings by 13.6% to 311,853 shares. The transaction occurred near the 52-week high ($155.21), with the stock currently trading at $151.80, representing -2.2% from that peak and +6.3% over the prior 30 days. Notably, Rentler's prior five sales at ROST (conducted in May and August 2023) were all followed by positive 90-day returns, meaning all prior sales proved poorly timed and did not precede subsequent declines; the stock rose after each sale. This sale's timing—at near-peak levels after a robust 6.3% 30-day gain—contrasts with the typical pattern observed in her earlier ROST transactions but does not confirm a predictive signal absent 90-day outcome data.
