Bastian Edward H

Delta CEO Edward Bastian sold 100,000 shares at $70.26 on 2026-02-26; stock now $65.70 (-12.8% from 52-week high).

Bastian sold 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) for $7,025,700.00 at $70.26, reducing his holdings from 1,463,448 to 1,363,448 shares (-6.8%). The sale occurred near the 52-week peak of $75.35, and the stock has since fallen -12.8%. His prior sales at Delta show mixed timing: one sale in January 2026 shows -2.8% 30-day return, while his 2025 and 2024 sales at this ticker generated positive subsequent returns (ranging +7.6% to +12.9% at 30 days, up to +27.6% at 90 days). Across his cross-ticker track record, his 5 prior sells posted an average 90-day return of +3.8% with a 25% well-timed rate—indicating that prior sales were often followed by stock appreciation rather than decline. The current sale's post-transaction drawdown stands in contrast to his typical pattern, though with limited post-trade price history this signal remains provisional.

CEO Bastian Edward H sold 173,230 shares of DAL at $71.00 (Jan 2026) for $12.3M; holdings drop 21.5% to 632,823 shares

CEO Bastian Edward H executed a substantial open-market sale of 173.2K shares at $71.00, reducing his DAL position by 21.5% to 632.8K shares. At the transaction price of $71.00, the sale occurred near the 52-week high of $72.31 (within 1.3%), and stock has since declined 2.6% to $70.43. His same-ticker history shows mixed timing: 3 of 4 prior sells at DAL were followed by positive 30–90 day returns (2025-07-23, 2024-10-28, 2024-02-01), with only the 2025-01-22 sale preceding a 90-day decline of 42.2%. This current sale near the 52-week high aligns with his occasional pattern of selling into strength, though the single well-timed 90-day outcome (25% rate) at DAL over four prior sales suggests minimal systematic timing edge at this specific holding.

DAL CEO Edward Bastian sells 35,000 shares at $56.28; stock down -20.8% from 52-week high.

Edward Bastian, Chief Executive Officer of Delta Air Lines, sold 35,000 shares for $1,969,975.00 on 2025-07-23, reducing his holdings from 667,823 to 632,823 shares. The sale occurred at $56.28, but the stock now trades at $54.71, down -20.8% from the 52-week high of $69.06, reflecting recent weakness in the airline sector. His prior three sales at DAL show mixed timing patterns: the January 2025 sale preceded a -42.2% decline (well-timed), while the October 2024 and February 2024 sales each saw the stock rise 12.9% and 7.6% respectively over 30 days (poorly-timed), with only 1 of 3 prior DAL sales proving well-timed at the 90-day mark. Despite the stock's 30-day +10.4% and 90-day +31.6% gains in the broader recent period, the transaction occurs near recent lows and within an ongoing trend of elevated insider selling activity at this company.

Delta CEO Bastian sold 91.7K shares ($6.4M) at $69.85; stock now $67.45, near 52-week high

Chief Executive Officer Bastian Edward H sold 91,710 shares of Delta Air Lines at $69.85 on 2025-01-22, reducing his holdings by 17.3% from 531,529 to 439,819 shares. The sale occurred near Delta's 52-week high (current price $67.45 is -1.3% from the $68.34 peak), and the stock has appreciated 7.8% over 30 days and 24.6% over 90 days. His prior two sales at Delta both generated positive returns in their measurement windows (30d +12.9% and 30d +7.6%), and his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +27.6% after sales, though his well-timed rate at Delta stands at 0 of 1 measurable outcomes. The company trades at a P/E of 9.36 with strong fundamentals: $15.7B quarterly revenue, $1.3B net income, and +14.8% annual revenue growth. The timing and size of this sale merit attention in the context of Delta's recent momentum and valuation.

DAL CEO Bastian sold 68,000 shares at $56.33, reducing stake 13.4% to 439,819 shares

Edward H Bastian, Chief Executive Officer, sold 68,000 shares of Delta Air Lines on 2024-10-28 at $56.33, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 439,819 shares from 507,819 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $57.34, with Delta's stock up 33.3% over the prior 90 days and up 11.2% over the prior 30 days. At a fundamental level, Delta shows strong quarterly net income of $1,272,000,000.00 against $15,677,000,000.00 in revenue, with a low P/E of 7.95 and annual revenue growth of +14.8%, suggesting a healthy operating profile. However, the insider's cross-ticker track record shows prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating a pattern where stock prices rose after his sales—on his prior DAL sale on 2024-02-01, the stock returned +27.6% over 90 days, not falling in his favor. This transaction does not reverse that pattern.
