Charles F Willis IV executed 10 separate sales totaling 9,241 shares for $1,530,239.03 during March 2026, reducing his holdings from 933,472 to 924,231 shares (a 1.0% reduction). The sales occurred at prices ranging from $162.54 to $170.49, with a blended average of $165.59, while the current price stands at $175.62. The sales occurred against a backdrop of significant recent stock appreciation: the company has posted 90-day positive returns of +29.5% and annual revenue growth of +36.0%, with strong fundamentals (P/E of 9.72, quarterly net income of $24,324,000.00). Notably, his cross-ticker track record shows a 90.00% well-timed rate on prior sells across all holdings, though no outcomes are yet measurable on his five recent same-ticker sales at WLFC. The executive remains substantially invested with 924.2K shares post-sale, preserving material exposure to the company.

Charles F Willis IV, Executive Chairman of Willis Lease Finance Corp, executed 10 separate sales totaling 15,997 shares for $2,743,090.31 across March 25–27, 2026, at prices ranging from $168.02 to $177.57 (blended average $171.48). The stock is currently trading at $168.53, down 17.9% from its 52-week high of $205.24 and down 17.5% over the past 30 days, suggesting a significant recent deterioration. Willis's same-ticker history shows 4 of 4 prior measurable sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, establishing a pattern of selling ahead of declines at this company; the company nonetheless shows strong fundamentals with $183.4M revenue, $24.3M net income, and 36% annual revenue growth. The concentration of sales over three consecutive trading days during a period of active price weakness, combined with the insider's demonstrated timing accuracy on previous WLFC transactions, warrants attention to whether this reflects an operational concern not yet reflected in public guidance.

WLFC Executive Chairman Willis sold 30,000 shares for $4.7M on 2025-08-12; post-sale holdings 957,046 shares.

Charles F Willis IV, Executive Chairman of Willis Lease Finance Corp, executed 9 separate sales totaling 30,000 shares for $4,650,674.39 on 2025-08-12, with transaction prices ranging from $147.13 to $156.51 and a blended average of $155.02. This represents a 3.0% reduction from his pre-transaction holdings of 987,046 shares, leaving him with 957,046 shares post-sale. The current stock price of $162.74 is 19.7% above the sale dates' price levels in the 30-day window and sits at -29.7% from the 52-week high of $231.63, placing the sales within a period of recent recovery but well below peak valuations. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 66.67%, while his 5 prior same-ticker transactions on 2025-06-04 showed positive 30-day returns (+3.5%, +1.2%, +2.3%, +3.9%, +1.8%), suggesting a pattern of sales followed by near-term strength. The company's fundamentals remain solid with a P/E of 9.06, annual revenue growth of +36.0% (latest year vs. prior year), and $60.4M net income on $195.5M quarterly revenue.

Executive Chairman sells 20,000 shares for $2.7M; prior 5 WLFC sales perfectly timed with 90d declines; current price $143.40 is -38.1% from 52-week high.

WILLIS CHARLES F IV executed 8 separate sales totaling 20,000 shares (20.0K shares) for $2,737,458.68 ($2.7M) between June 3-4, 2025, at a blended average price of $136.87, reducing holdings from 1,007,046 shares (1.01M shares) to 987,046 shares (987.0K shares). His prior trades at WLFC show a striking pattern: all 5 previous sales across late 2024 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, each followed by stock declines ranging from -0.3% to -8.7%. The broader cross-ticker track record shows a 70.00% well-timed rate across 20 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -2.5%, indicating a demonstrated ability to exit before weakness. The current price of $143.40 stands -38.1% below the 52-week high of $231.63, suggesting the stock has already experienced material depreciation since the insider's peak valuation exposure. Investors should note this sale occurs in a period of recent positive momentum (+6.9% over 30 days) yet against a steep 90-day decline of -21.7%, and the executive's historical timing precision at this specific ticker warrants attention to forward earnings and industry conditions.

Executive Chairman Charles F. Willis IV sold 50,000 shares for $10.1M on 2024-11-08 at blended avg $202.06.

Charles F. Willis IV, Executive Chairman of Willis Lease Finance Corp, executed 21 separate sales totaling 50,000 shares for $10,103,233.66 on 2024-11-08, reducing his holdings to 876,495 shares (a -5.4% reduction). The blended average sale price of $202.06 sits just 1.1% above the current price of $199.88, yet the stock is -13.7% from its 52-week high of $231.63, suggesting this liquidation occurred near the upper end of recent trading ranges. The company's fundamentals remain solid—P/E of 13.40, $146.2M quarterly revenue, $24.1M net income, and +34.2% annual revenue growth—but Willis's prior transaction history at WLFC shows recent repeated sales (5 trades in August and November), and his cross-ticker track record over 20 prior sells reflects a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, indicating his sell decisions have not preceded subsequent stock declines. This large liquidation warrants monitoring to determine whether the stock continues to hold above the sale prices or whether subsequent weakness will provide insight into his timing.

Executive Chairman Willis sold 18,681 shares ($2.0M) over 2 days at blended $105.18; stock up 25.4% in 30 days, 66.1% in 90 days

The stock has surged +25.4% over 30 days and +66.1% over 90 days, trading near its 52-week high of $111.66 at current price $108.19. Willis's cross-ticker track record shows 14 prior sells with a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark (average 90d return +66.1%), indicating past sales occurred before gains, not declines; his same-ticker history at WLFC shows 5 prior sells all within the last 3 days, with no measurable outcomes yet. The company's fundamentals remain strong: $151.1M quarterly revenue, +34.2% annual growth, $42.6M net income, and a 7.99 P/E ratio reflecting valuation that has appreciated sharply in recent months.

Charles F Willis IV, Executive Chairman of Willis Lease Finance Corp (WLFC), executed 12 separate sales totaling 21,319 shares for $2,332,084.78 across three trading days (August 23, 26, 27), reducing his holdings from 948,533 shares to 927,214 shares at a blended average price of $109.39. The sales occurred as WLFC trades near its 52-week high of $111.66 and following a 90-day rally of 67.6%, with the stock up 26.3% over the prior 30 days. Notably, Willis's prior two open-market sales at WLFC in May 2024 both experienced positive 90-day returns (+67.0% and +65.2%), indicating that his prior exits at this ticker were not well-timed relative to subsequent price appreciation.
