Derby LuxCo sells 7,766,088 shares of WAY for $304.5M at $39.21; reduces stake 23.8% to 24.88M shares
Derby LuxCo, a 10% owner, executed a substantial sale of 7,766,088 shares (7.77M shares) at $39.21 on 2025-09-12, generating $304,508,310.48 in proceeds and reducing holdings by 23.8% to 24,879,437 shares (24.88M shares). The transaction occurred at a price $0.96 above the current market price of $38.25, placing the sale near recent highs within the 52-week range of $26.39–$45.35. Notably, Derby LuxCo's prior three sales at WAY (2025-05-20, 2025-05-16, and 2025-02-24) all displayed well-timed execution at the 90-day mark, with negative subsequent returns of -3.0%, -5.0%, and -3.4% respectively, suggesting a consistent pattern of selling into strength and before declines. The company's elevated P/E of 78.06 against full-year unprofitability and recent quarterly profitability raises valuation concerns, and the timing of this large-block liquidation by a major shareholder at recent peaks warrants investor attention as to the broader growth narrative supporting the stock's 19.3% annual revenue growth.
