CASELLA DOUGLAS R

VP Chairman Casella sells 5,387 shares at blended average $111.94 for $603,028.32 on March 10, 2025

Douglas R. Casella, Vice Chairman of Casella Waste Systems, executed two separate sales totaling 5,387 shares (5.4K shares) for $603,028.32 on 2025-03-10 at a blended average price of $111.94. The current stock price of $105.14 is 9.2% below the 52-week high of $115.86, and the sales occurred when the stock was trading near the upper end of its recent range. His same-ticker history shows 4 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, indicating a pattern of selling ahead of subsequent declines; however, this observation reflects his historical behavior and does not characterize the timing of the current transaction itself. Post-transaction holdings remain substantial at 107,875 shares (107.9K shares), representing a 4.8% reduction from pre-transaction levels. The company's fundamentals show strong revenue growth of 23.2% year-over-year and $411.6M in latest quarterly revenue, though a P/E ratio of 457.13 reflects an extremely rich valuation.

Vice Chairman Douglas R Casella sold 20,000 CWST shares at $112.26 on 2024-11-22 for $2.2M; stock at 52-week high ($112.91).

Douglas R Casella, Vice Chairman, sold 20,000 shares (reducing holdings by -14.8% from 135,435 to 115,435 shares) at $112.26, a price within 0.0% of the 52-week high of $112.91. The sale occurred after a 12.9% gain over 30 days and 6.6% gain over 90 days. His prior trades at CWST show a consistent pattern: all 4 prior sell transactions were followed by negative 90-day returns, indicating well-timed exits. Notably, the stock is currently priced at the 52-week high, and this sale represents a reduction of material size from his holdings. The underlying business shows strong revenue growth of +16.5% year-over-year, though the P/E ratio is elevated at 245.46, warranting observation of whether near-peak-price sales by the Vice Chairman signal discretionary positioning in a high-valuation environment.
