Significance 6/10

Zoom COO Bawa Aparna sells 12,886 shares for $1,129,109.76, reducing stake by 86.7% to 1,978 shares.

Chief Operating Officer Bawa Aparna executed 2 separate sales totaling 12,886 shares for $1,129,109.76 on 2026-04-17, reducing her post-transaction holdings to 1,978 shares (down 86.7% from 14,864 pre-transaction). The sales occurred at blended average price of $87.62, while the stock currently trades at $90.96. Her prior sales at Zoom (5 trades spanning July 2025 to January 2026) delivered 90-day returns ranging from +3.1% to +6.7%, with none qualifying as well-timed by the 90-day mark; across all of her cross-ticker open-market sales, her 26.32% well-timed rate suggests modest predictive value. The substantial reduction in her ZM holdings, combined with the company's solid fundamentals (P/E 14.39, net income $612.9M, 4.4% annual revenue growth), warrants attention as a data point in the broader flow of insider liquidity at this valuation.

Significance 6/10

ZM COO Aparna Bawa sold 12,137 shares (-86.0% of holdings) for $987,553.42 on 2026-01-16.

Aparna Bawa, Chief Operating Officer of Zoom Communications, executed two separate sales on 2026-01-16, totaling 12,137 shares for $987,553.42, reducing her holdings by 86.0% from 14,115 to 1,978 shares. The blended average price of $81.37 is slightly above the current price of $81.18, and the stock is down 9.8% over 30 days and 10.0% from its 52-week high of $90.24. Her cross-ticker track record shows a 36.84% well-timed rate on prior sells (19 total), suggesting moderate success with exit timing, though her prior 5 sales at Zoom were not well-timed at the 90-day mark, with 4 of 5 showing positive 90-day returns after the sales. The substantial reduction in her direct stake warrants attention, particularly given the stock's recent downward pressure and the COO's operational visibility into the business.

Significance 6/10

Zoom COO Bawa Aparna sells 10,528 shares for $839,859.97, reducing holdings by 84.2%

Aparna Bawa, Chief Operating Officer of Zoom Communications, executed 2 separate sales on 2025-10-16, selling 8,928 shares at $79.68 and 1,600 shares at $80.28, for a combined total of 10,528 shares worth $839,859.97 at a blended average price of $79.77. This represents a substantial reduction in her direct holdings from 12,506 shares to 1,978 shares—a net decrease of 84.2%. At the current price of $81.91, the stock is trading -8.0% from its 52-week high and has declined 2.7% over the past 30 days, though it is up 8.9% over 90 days. Across her same-ticker history at ZM, Bawa's prior 5 sales show a 40% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark (2 of 5 sales preceded subsequent declines), while her cross-ticker track record shows a 42.11% well-timed sell rate on 19 prior sales, with an average 90-day return after sales of +1.8%, indicating marginal timing accuracy historically. The near-complete liquidation of this position warrants monitoring against future company performance and insider filing patterns.

Significance 6/10

COO Aparna Bawa sold 10,528 shares of ZM at $74.77–$75.00 for $787,328.75; reduces holdings 84.2%.

Aparna Bawa, Chief Operating Officer of Zoom Communications, executed 2 separate sales totaling 10,528 shares on 2025-07-14, reducing her post-transaction holdings to 1,978 shares from 12,506 shares (an 84.2% reduction). The blended average sale price of $74.78 compares to a current price of $74.44 and sits within the 52-week range, 16.4% below the high of $89.03. At this ticker specifically, Bawa's prior 5 trades show a 3 of 5 success rate at the 90-day mark for well-timed sells, with her most recent ZM sale on 2025-04-15 followed by a 90-day return of +3.1%. Her cross-ticker track record reflects 18 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +1.3% and a 44.44% well-timed rate, indicating mixed historical accuracy on sell timing. The near-complete liquidation of her position warrants attention to whether this reflects a material shift in her equity stake or liquidity planning.

Significance 6/10

COO Aparna Bawa sells 16,099 shares of ZM for $1.2M, reducing holdings by 89.1% to 2.0K shares

COO Aparna Bawa sold 16,099 shares at $72.59 on 2025-04-15, reducing her stake from 18,077 to 1,978 shares (89.1% reduction). Her prior sales at ZM show mixed timing: 3 of 5 prior sells at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with two subsequent gains (30d: +19.7% and +23.1%) but three subsequent declines (90d: -9.7%, -9.0%, -11.5%). The current price of $71.49 is -19.7% from the 52-week high and -5.2% over 30 days. Across her full cross-ticker track record of 18 prior sells, her 44.44% well-timed rate suggests modest predictive timing ability, though ZM-specific outcomes are variable. The substantial 89.1% reduction in stake signals a material shift in her position at the company where she serves as COO.

Significance 6/10

Zoom COO Bawa sells 12,075 shares for $955,796.31; reduces holdings by 85.9% to 1,978 shares

Chief Operating Officer Bawa Aparna executed 2 separate sales totaling 12,075 shares at prices of $79.06 and $79.75 on 2025-01-14, raising $955,796.31 and reducing her position from 14,053 to 1,978 shares—a decline of 85.9% in holdings. This substantial liquidation of her stake at Zoom occurs as the stock trades at $79.44 (current price), down 10.8% from its 52-week high of $89.03 and declining 6.1% over the past 30 days. Historically, Bawa's prior sells at Zoom (October 2024) produced positive 90-day returns of +16.6%, +11.8%, +15.0%, and +13.1%, indicating her prior sale timing at this ticker resulted in the stock subsequently rising—outcomes that do not demonstrate well-timed exits. Her cross-ticker sell track record shows an average 90-day return of +3.4% with a 33.33% well-timed rate, suggesting her sales decisions historically have not preceded declines. The scale of this reduction combined with recent price weakness and her pattern of sells that have not preceded downturns merits investor attention to broader company fundamentals and management confidence signals.

ZM COO Bawa Aparna sold 9.3K shares at $78.69 on 2025-01-10; reduced holdings 39.9% to 14.1K shares ($733.1K proceeds).

Bawa Aparna, Zoom's Chief Operating Officer, executed a substantial reduction in holdings, selling 9,317 shares (-39.9% vs pre-transaction holdings) for $733,124.92. Her prior sales at ZM have consistently underperformed from a timing perspective—her October 2024 sells generated positive 30-day returns of +17.7% to +24.8%, indicating the stock rose after she sold, and her only measurable 90-day outcome (0 of 1 well-timed) also showed positive returns. At the cross-ticker level, her sell track record shows a 50.00% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of -3.5%, though her buy track record is notably weak (4 buys, 0% win rate, -47.2% average 30-day return). The current stock price of $79.46 is 10.8% below the 52-week high and down 8.2% over 30 days, but remains above the transaction price of $78.69; Zoom's financial profile (P/E 37.48, modest 3.1% annual revenue growth, strong net income of $207.0M) reflects a mature, profitable business trading at a premium valuation.

Significance 6/10

ZM COO Aparna Bawa sells 10,520 shares for $721,528.87 across 4 transactions on 2024-10-14, reducing holdings by -84.2%.

Aparna Bawa, Zoom's Chief Operating Officer, executed 4 separate sales totaling 10,520 shares for $721,528.87 on 2024-10-14, at blended average price $68.59, reducing her holdings from 12,498 shares to 1,978 shares (a -84.2% reduction). This is a substantial liquidation of her equity stake by a senior executive. At ZM specifically, her prior 4 measurable sales show mixed timing: 2 of 4 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, while the most recent prior sale on 2024-10-08 remains unmeasured. Her broader cross-ticker track record shows a 58.33% well-timed rate on 13 prior sells (negative 90d returns averaging -9.3%), indicating above-average precision in sell timing historically. The current stock price of $68.93 sits -7.1% from the 52-week high of $74.21 and has risen +16.5% over 90 days, despite the company's modest 3.1% annual revenue growth and a P/E of 32.51, suggesting the stock has recovered significantly from its lows. The near-total liquidation of a major portion of her holdings warrants attention to whether this reflects a portfolio rebalancing event or broader organizational signals.

$740,533
Significance 6/10

ZM COO Bawa sold 10,871 shares at $68.12 on 2024-10-08 (-46.5% of holdings); stock up 6.2% in 30d, 23.0% in 90d.

Aparna Bawa, the Chief Operating Officer, executed a substantial reduction in her Zoom position, selling 10,871 shares (46.5% of her pre-transaction holdings) for $740,532.52. At the $68.12 transaction price, this sale occurred during a period of upward momentum—the stock has since risen 6.2% over 30 days and 23.0% over 90 days from the filing date, placing it just 4.5% below its 52-week high. Her prior trade history at ZM shows mixed timing discipline: of four prior sales with measurable 90-day outcomes, three were well-timed (stock fell after the sale), though one recent July sale showed positive subsequent performance. Across all tickers, her prior sells have a 63.64% well-timed rate, suggesting some discrimination in sale timing, but her cross-ticker buys have underperformed significantly (0.00% win rate). The scale of this reduction and the acceleration in the stock's recent performance merit closer monitoring of company fundamentals and near-term guidance.

Significance 4/10

PANW Director Bawa Aparna made 7 net purchases of 155 shares for $28.2K over 24 months, offsetting 3 sales totaling 71 shares for $11.8K; holdings increased 2.2%.

Director Bawa Aparna executed 10 separate transactions between March 2022 and May 2024, accumulating 84 net shares (a 2.2% increase to 3,851 shares). The purchase activity spanned a wide price range—from $140.73 in January 2023 to $307.55 in May 2024—without a discernible concentrated buying pattern near any particular price level. The 3 sales (totaling 71 shares for $11.8K) occurred at $164.50, $148.98, and $298.32, showing no systematic exit strategy. Across her full cross-ticker track record, prior sells posted a 57.14% well-timed rate and an average 90-day return of -2.1%, suggesting historical precision in sell timing, though this filing's individual sales lack concentration sufficient to assess deliberate signaling. The stock currently trades at $181.36, near the 52-week high of $188.45 and up 11.7% over 30 days, reflecting broad market recovery rather than a discrete insider-driven valuation statement.
