Finley John G

CLO Finley John G sold 21,500 BX shares for $3.7M, reducing stake by 48.8% to 22.5K shares

Finley John G, Chief Legal Officer of Blackstone Inc., executed a substantial open-market sale of 21,500 shares at $171.46 on 2025-09-08, reducing his holdings from 44.0K to 22.5K shares—a 48.8% reduction in his stake worth $3.7M. The sale occurred while BX trades at $178.23, approximately 3.9% above the transaction price and 10.5% below its 52-week high of $199.05. Examining his same-ticker history, Finley has executed 5 prior sales at BX, with mixed outcomes: 3 of 5 showed positive 90-day returns (2025-05-08 at +21.8%, 2024-08-07 at +28.8%, and 2024-11-07 at +6.3%), while 2 showed negative returns (2024-02-08 at -6.6%, 2024-11-07 at -0.6%), yielding a 40% well-timed rate at this specific ticker. His cross-ticker track record shows stronger discipline: 7 prior sells with a 42.86% well-timed rate and average 90-day return of +13.4%, suggesting his historical pattern at BX has been less predictive. The scale of this reduction—eliminating nearly half his position—alongside Blackstone's elevated valuation (P/E of 45.82 and +64.9% annual revenue growth) warrants investor attention to whether additional officer sales follow."

CLO John G Finley sold 25,000 BX shares for $3.5M at $138.47; retains 475.3K shares post-transaction.

Finley sold 25,000 shares across two separate transactions on 2025-05-08 at prices between $138.46 and $139.04, reducing his holdings by 5.0% to 475.3K shares and generating $3,461,640.36. His cross-ticker track record shows a 60.00% well-timed selling rate with average 90-day return of +10.0% after his sales, though at Blackstone specifically, his prior 5 sells at this ticker show mixed results—3 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with outcomes ranging from -6.6% to +34.8%. The current stock price of $139.39 is approximately 30.0% below the 52-week high of $199.05, and the stock has declined 18.1% over the past 90 days, representing a weaker price environment than the 52-week peak but modest recent momentum (30-day: +1.5%). With a substantial remaining position and routine portfolio rebalancing context typical of executive sales, this transaction does not suggest elevated concern about the company's fundamentals.

Blackstone CLO Finley sells 42,249 shares at $175.94; stock now trades at $177.46 (52-week high), mixed timing pattern on prior BX sales.

Finley John G, Chief Legal Officer of Blackstone Inc., sold 42,249 shares (representing 9.8% of his pre-transaction holdings) at $175.94 on 2024-11-07 for total proceeds of $7,433,289.06. The sale occurred just $1.52 below the current price of $177.46, which sits at the 52-week high. His same-ticker BX trade history shows mixed timing outcomes: two of his four prior sales at Blackstone were well-timed at the 90-day mark (the 2023-10-30 sale followed by +34.8% appreciation and the 2024-08-07 sale followed by +28.8%), while two resulted in post-sale declines. The stock has appreciated 19.6% over the past 30 days and 35.5% over the past 90 days since this sale was executed. This sale does not follow an observable pattern of consistently well-timed exits at this ticker, nor does it appear to signal material concern given current price proximity to transaction price and the stock's year-to-date upward momentum.

CLO Finley sells 35,000 BX shares at $131.74 for $4.6M; retains 429.4K shares; prior BX sales 66.67% well-timed at 90-day mark.

The sale represents a reduction in equity exposure at a price 0.6% above the current price of $130.93. Looking at his transaction history at Blackstone specifically, Finley has executed 3 prior open-market sales; 2 of those 3 prior sales proved well-timed at the 90-day measurement interval, with returns of -1.4% and -1.8%, while one sale on 2023-10-30 was poorly timed with a +20.5% 90-day return.
