FMR LLC (10% Owner) sells 284.9K shares of BEAM for $10.0M at blended avg $35.24; -25.0% reduction in holdings
FMR LLC executed 2 separate sales totaling 284,860 shares for $10,039,491.52 on June 25–26, 2026, reducing its stake from 1,139,443 to 854,583 shares (a -25.0% net change vs pre-transaction holdings). The blended average price of $35.24 sits near the current price of $35.06, within the 52-week range of $15.60–$36.88, and only 4.9% below the 52-week high, suggesting the insider sold into a period of relative strength (stock is +47.1% over 90 days and +6.5% over 30 days). FMR's prior 4 trades at BEAM (all in February 2024) were each well-timed at the 90-day mark, with all showing negative 90-day returns after the sells; however, this track record is specific to BEAM and does not automatically predict this transaction's outcome. Notably, BEAM remains unprofitable (net income $-94.3M over the latest full fiscal year), though revenue showed strong 120% annual growth to $31.7M in the latest quarter, which underscores the tension between growth momentum and fundamental losses that may be driving the disposition.
