Significance 5/10

CEO Debra A. Cafaro sold 10,322 shares of VTR at $82.23 on 2026-02-06; stock now at 52-week high.

Cafaro sold 10,322 shares (10.3K shares) valued at $848,751.22 ($848.8K), reducing her holdings from 1,124,356 to 1,114,034 shares—a net reduction of 0.9% of her prior position. The sale occurred at $82.23, which is now $1.67 below the current price of $83.90 and $0.0% from the 52-week high of $83.90, suggesting a sale near elevated valuation levels. Her cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed rate across 20 prior sells, with average 90-day returns of +6.1% post-sale, indicating her prior sales have not preceded stock declines. At VTR specifically, of 1 prior sell with a measurable 90-day outcome, zero were well-timed (the sale on 2025-11-06 was followed by a 90-day return of +3.6%). With a P/E of 94.27, the stock carries a notably elevated valuation multiple, and the 30-day gain of +12.0% reflects recent momentum that may constrain near-term upside.

Significance 3/10

Ventas CEO Debra A Cafaro sold 10,322 shares at $77.66 on 2026-02-02; retains 1,114,034 shares post-sale.

Cafaro executed a small open-market sale of 10,322 shares (0.9% of pre-transaction holdings), representing a nominal reduction in her VTR position while maintaining substantial share ownership of 1.11M shares. At $77.66, the transaction occurred 4.1% below the 52-week high of $81.00 and near current price of $77.69, in a context where the stock is up 3.6% over 90 days and 0.5% over 30 days. Her cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark (sales followed by stock appreciation), and at VTR specifically, her prior 5 trades show only 1 of 1 measurable 90-day outcome was not well-timed, with her most recent prior sale on 2025-11-05 yielding a 3.2% decline over 90 days. The modest sale size and retention of over 1.1M shares reflect a minor adjustment within a substantially committed equity position.

Significance 4/10

Debra A. Cafaro (CEO) sold 10,322 shares of Ventas at $77.26 on 2026-01-02, retaining 1.14M shares.

Cafaro sold 10,322 shares (-0.9% of pre-transaction holdings) at $77.26 on 2026-01-02, reducing her stake from 1.15M to 1.14M shares. At the current price of $76.14, VTR is down 6.0% from its 52-week high of $81.00 and down 5.6% over the past 30 days, though up 12.0% over 90 days. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $1.5B and net income of $68.7M in the latest quarter, with 9.5% annual revenue growth, but a elevated P/E of 143.66 warrants attention. Across Cafaro's entire cross-ticker trading history, her 20 prior sells averaged a 90-day return of +7.4% with a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating her past sales have not preceded downturns; at VTR specifically, her 5 prior sells over November–December 2025 show mixed recent timing, with the most recent sale on 2025-12-01 followed by a -3.9% 30-day return.

Significance 3/10

Debra A. Cafaro (CEO) sells 10,322 shares of Ventas at $80.55; retains 1,145,695 shares post-transaction.

Debra A. Cafaro, Chairman and CEO of Ventas Inc., executed an open-market sale of 10,322 shares at $80.55 on 2025-12-01, reducing her holdings by 0.9% to 1,145,695 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $80.63, with the stock trading at $80.00 currently (+7.9% over 30 days and +18.1% over 90 days). Cafaro's cross-ticker track record of 20 prior sells shows a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating her sells have historically been followed by stock appreciation rather than declines. At Ventas specifically, she executed four additional sells in November (2025-11-03, 2025-11-04, 2025-11-05, 2025-11-06, and 2025-11-17), creating a clustering pattern of discretionary dispositions over a compressed timeframe. The 150.94 P/E ratio reflects an expensive valuation, though the underlying business shows solid fundamentals with 9.5% annual revenue growth and $1.5B quarterly revenue.

Significance 4/10

VTR Chairman/CEO Cafaro sells 41,294 shares ($3.3M) at $79.01; stock now at 52-week high.

CAFARO DEBRA A, as Chairman and CEO, sold 41,294 shares of Ventas, Inc. at $79.01 on 2025-11-17, reducing holdings by 3.5% from 1,186,989 to 1,145,695 shares. The transaction occurred just below the current price of $80.00, which sits at the 52-week high of $80.00, and represents a selling activity that coincides with elevated recent price momentum (+11.9% over 30 days, +15.7% over 90 days). His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 14.29%, indicating relatively poor timing historically on sell decisions. At VTR specifically, he executed five sells in rapid succession from 2025-11-03 through 2025-11-06, with outcomes for those transactions not yet measurable (all recent). The valuation context shows a high P/E of 150.94 and modest net income of $68.7M against $1.5B in quarterly revenue, suggesting the stock has priced in significant growth expectations.

$2,328,308
Significance 5/10

VTR CEO Debra Cafaro sold 30,966 shares for $2.3M at $75.02–$75.29 on Nov 4–6; holds 1.15M shares post-sale.

CEO Debra Cafaro executed 3 separate sales totaling 30,966 shares for $2,328,308.17 across three consecutive trading days (Nov 4–6), at prices ranging $75.02–$75.29, near the current price of $74.95 and within 0.0% of the 52-week high of $74.98. This sale reduced her position by 2.6% to 1,145,695 shares. Across her cross-ticker track record, Cafaro's 20 prior sells averaged a 90-day return of -2.0% with a 40.00% well-timed rate; however, her 5 prior VTR sales remain unmeasurable in outcome, precluding assessment of whether this latest multi-day sale pattern reflects any signal specific to this holding. The stock has risen 8.9% over 30 days and 9.3% over 90 days, and her blended execution price of $75.19 captures value near recent highs, but without established timing pattern at this ticker or stated rationale in the filing, the transaction is purely observable: a moderate-sized liquidation by the CEO at elevated valuations.

Significance 6/10

VTR CEO Cafaro sells 337,902 shares for $25,079,458.71 across 6 transactions, reducing stake by 22.8%.

CAFARO DEBRA A, Chairman and CEO, conducted 6 separate sales totaling 337,902 shares for $25,079,458.71 between October 30 and November 3, 2025, with a blended average price of $74.22. The sale reduced her post-transaction holdings from 1,483,597 shares to 1,145,695 shares, representing a 22.8% reduction in her stake. The transactions occurred near the top of the 52-week range ($56.90–$74.36), with the stock -0.3% from its 52-week high and +6.3% over the prior 30 days. Across all her open-market sales across all tickers, her cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 62.50% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, though her same-ticker history at VTR is mixed: her most recent measurable same-ticker sale at VTR (August 1, 2025) showed a 90d return of +10.3%, indicating the stock rose after that sale rather than declining. The CEO retained 1,145,695 shares post-transaction, maintaining meaningful ownership despite the material reduction.

Significance 6/10

VTR Chairman/CEO Cafaro sells 219,515 shares ($15.7M) in 2 transactions at $71.32, reducing stake by 16.1% to 1.15M shares

On 2025-10-20, Debra A. Cafaro, Chairman and CEO of Ventas, Inc., executed 2 separate sales totaling 219,515 shares (219.5K shares) for $15,656,402.49 ($15.7M) at a blended average price of $71.32, reducing her post-transaction holdings to 1,145,695 shares (1.15M shares). This represents a 16.1% reduction in her pre-transaction holdings of 1,365,210 shares (1.37M shares). At her same-ticker VTR history, Cafaro's recent prior 5 trades show limited downside capture—only 0 of 2 measurable 90-day outcomes resulted in negative returns, with her July 2025 sales posting +3.6% and +2.8% 90-day returns respectively. Her cross-ticker track record shows a 70.59% well-timed sell rate, suggesting material outperformance in picking peak exit points historically, though that pattern has not transferred to her recent VTR activity. The current stock price of $70.46 sits just 1.4% below the 52-week high of $71.50, and the stock has gained 5.0% over both the prior 30 and 90 days, indicating the sale occurred near recent strength.

CEO Debra Cafaro sold 10,322 shares of VTR at $70.24 on 2025-10-01 for $724,986.31, retaining 1,145,695 shares.

Debra Cafaro, Chairman and CEO of Ventas, Inc., sold 10,322 shares representing a -0.9% reduction in her 1.16M share position. The sale occurred at $70.24, near the 52-week high of $70.47 and +2.5% above the 30-day moving level. Her cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 86.67% across 20 prior sales, though at VTR specifically, her 5 most recent sales (dating July through September 2025) have all been followed by positive 30-day returns, with none yet measurable at the 90-day horizon. The stock's strong recent momentum (+10.6% over 90 days, +2.5% over 30 days) and elevated valuation (P/E of 158.16) coincide with this modest divestment by the company's top executive.

Significance 4/10

Ventas Chairman/CEO Cafaro sells 10,322 shares at $67.80; retains 1.15M shares in $30.8B REIT

Debra Cafaro, Chairman and CEO, sold 10,322 shares of Ventas on 2025-09-02 at $67.80, reducing her stake by 0.9% to 1,145,695 shares while retaining a substantial multi-million-share position. At her prior VTR trade on 2025-05-02, the 90-day outcome was not well-timed (stock rose +1.1% afterward), and across her 20 prior cross-ticker sales, timing was marginally favorable (87.50% well-timed rate) though short-term 30-day returns averaged -1.5%. The current stock price of $67.72 sits 3.9% below the 52-week high, having declined 1.5% over 30 days yet gained 6.4% over 90 days, suggesting modest recent weakness in a mixed medium-term backdrop. Given VTR's elevated P/E of 153.91, strong fundamentals (+9.5% annual revenue growth, $1.4B latest quarterly revenue), and Cafaro's continued dominant position in the company, this modest sale appears routine for a long-tenured insider managing a concentrated holding rather than signaling material strategic concern.
