SOLOMON DAVID M

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon sells $3.2M in stock at modest discount to recent highs

CEO David Solomon executed two sales totaling approximately $3.2 million, representing modest reductions of less than two percent of his holdings. The stock has appreciated meaningfully over the past month but remains several percentage points below its recent peak, suggesting Solomon is selling into relative strength rather than panic. Goldman Sachs remains financially healthy with substantial quarterly earnings and a reasonable valuation multiple, which contextualizes this sale as portfolio management rather than a distress signal. However, CEO-level selling warrants monitoring—even routine rebalancing from the chief executive can signal a shift from accumulation to pruning, particularly when the stock is trading below its highs. The relatively small position reduction and lack of aggressive selling suggests no urgent concern, but the cumulative sales are large enough to register on the filing thresholds.

Historically at this ticker, Solomon's prior four measurable sales resulted in mixed 90-day outcomes: two showed negative returns (-1.0%, -0.5%) and two showed positive returns (18.8%, 6.2%), with 50% alignment to favorable timing metrics. The broader fundamentals show strong performance—$15.1B quarterly revenue, 15.7% annual growth, and a 15.03 P/E ratio—providing no obvious fundamental deterioration context for the sale.

The timing context is mixed: the stock has rallied 21.3% over the past 30 days but declined 6.8% over 90 days, positioning the sale roughly 8.4% below the 52-week high of $672.19. His prior sales at GS show variable timing outcomes—of the 4 measurable prior sales, 2 achieved negative 90-day returns (well-timed), while 2 saw positive returns (poorly timed). His cross-ticker track record shows a 66.67% well-timed rate on sells with an average 90-day return of -2.7%, suggesting a modest edge in exit timing historically. The company's fundamentals remain strong: $15.1B quarterly revenue with 15.7% annual growth, $4.7B net income, and a P/E of 12.70. This sale represents discretionary execution by the CEO rather than a scheduled plan, and occurs against a backdrop of recent strength tempered by longer-term consolidation.

Reviewing his same-ticker history at GS, Solomon's prior five sales show mixed timing outcomes: three of five sales were followed by 90-day declines (well-timed), while two were followed by gains, with the most recent sale on 2024-11-29 down 5.7% in the following 30 days. His cross-ticker track record across six prior sells averaged -2.7% over 90 days, with a 66.67% well-timed rate, suggesting a moderate pattern of selling into subsequent weakness.

The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $608.57, with the stock up 15.9% over the past 30 days and 22.7% over 90 days.

The sale occurs amid moderating fundamentals: annual revenue declined -2.4% year-over-year, though net income remains substantial at $3.0B on $12.7B quarterly revenue. With the stock trading near 52-week highs and the company showing revenue headwinds, this transaction merits observation for potential signals about executive outlook on near-term valuation.

Goldman Sachs CEO David M. Solomon sold 6,000 shares ($3.0M) on 2024-08-15; retains 124.4K shares post-sale

David M. Solomon, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs, executed an open-market sale of 6,000 shares at $500.29, reducing his position by 4.6% to 124.4K shares. His prior trades at GS show a pattern of well-timed selling: 3 of 4 prior sells at this ticker resulted in negative 90-day returns (ranging from -0.5% to -15.6%), indicating he has historically sold before subsequent declines. However, his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -8.7% on sells with a 75.00% well-timed rate, suggesting consistent execution across holdings. The stock currently trades at $504.26, only -0.9% from the 52-week high, yet the company's annual revenue growth contracted by 2.4% year-over-year despite solid recent quarterly fundamentals ($12.7B revenue, $3.0B net income). The timing and pattern merit monitoring to see whether this sale precedes another downturn at GS.
