Significance 4/10

CFO Gianluca Romano sold 903 STX shares at $880.19 on 2026-06-12 for $795.0K; retains 42.9K shares plus 8,475 RSUs.

Gianluca Romano, EVP & CFO, sold 903 shares at $880.19, reducing his non-derivative holdings from 43.8K to 42.9K shares while maintaining 8,475 RSUs. This marks his sixth sale of STX stock within a six-day window (2026-05-06 through 2026-06-12), consistent with a scheduled vest-and-sell program rather than a discretionary trading decision. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sales averaging +10.7% 30-day returns, though the timing pattern on his five recent STX sales cannot yet be assessed at the 90-day mark. The stock has risen +28.1% over 30 days and +141.9% over 90 days, trading near its 52-week high of $1032.52, while fundamental metrics show strong revenue growth of +38.9% annually and $748.0M net income on $3.1B quarterly revenue; the P/E of 147.01 reflects elevated valuation.

1,350 shares
$1,109,780
Significance 5/10

STX CFO Gianluca Romano sold 1,350 shares for $1,109,780.36 on 2026-06-10; retains 42,068 non-derivative shares plus 14,602 derivative holdings.

Gianluca Romano, EVP & CFO of Seagate, executed 2 separate sales totaling 1,350 shares for $1,109,780.36 at an average price of $821.76, reducing his non-derivative holdings by 3.1% to 42,068 shares. The current price of $868.09 stands 10.2% below the 52-week high of $966.80, and his prior 5 sales at STX (all in May 2026) showed 30-day returns ranging from +9.4% to +11.5%, indicating his recent trades at this ticker have consistently preceded near-term gains. Romano retains substantial derivative holdings (959 and 13,643 restricted share units), meaning his overall position remains material despite the non-derivative reduction. The transaction occurs within a context of strong company fundamentals: $3.1B quarterly revenue, $748.0M net income, and +38.9% annual revenue growth, though the P/E of 125.27 reflects elevated valuation expectations relative to near-term earnings.

May 2026
Sell
1,902 shares
$1,464,540
Significance 3/10

CFO Romano Gianluca sells 1,902 shares of Seagate (STX) for $1.46M; all prior sales poorly timed as stock rose afterward.

Romano Gianluca, Seagate's Chief Financial Officer, sold approximately 4.4% of his holdings in a single transaction. What makes this trade notable is not the sale itself—Gianluca has sold 50 times across all tickers in the prior 3-year window—but his track record at this specific company. Every one of his five prior Seagate sales was poorly timed: the stock rose significantly in the months following each exit. This latest sale follows the same pattern, occurring while the company remains profitable with strong recent quarterly results, and the stock is trading near the upper end of its recent range rather than during a broader market correction. Given that Gianluca has consistently sold on strength rather than weakness at this ticker, and his sales have never preceded declines, this transaction appears reactive rather than a forward-looking signal of management concern about the business.

Sell
22,488 shares
$17,410,692
Significance 5/10

Seagate CFO Romano Gianluca sells 22,488 shares for $17.4M in single trading day

Romano Gianluca, Seagate's EVP and CFO, disposed of roughly $17.4 million in shares on a single day across 30 separate transactions, representing a net reduction of approximately 4.5% of his largest single tranche position. The stock at the time of the sales was trading modestly below its recent highs, having rallied substantially over the prior quarter. Notably, Gianluca's prior same-ticker sales activity—five sales at this company in late 2025—were uniformly poorly timed: the stock rose significantly in the 90-day period following each prior exit, meaning he sold before each subsequent rally. This current large disposition follows that same pattern of selling before upward moves. While Seagate remains profitable and growing in its latest quarterly results, the CFO's repeated pattern of underestimating near-term price momentum before selling suggests either liquidity needs unrelated to company outlook or a consistent difficulty timing exits at this particular stock. The sheer magnitude and multi-tranche execution of today's sale—characteristic of a planned, deliberate liquidation—sets it apart from routine executive trading and warrants attention for what it may signal about his confidence in near-term performance.

54,021 shares
$15,404,707
Significance 7/10

Seagate CFO Romano Gianluca sells 54,021 shares for $15.4M across 17 transactions at $285.16 blended avg

Romano Gianluca (EVP & CFO) executed 17 separate sales totaling 54,021 shares for $15,404,707.29 on 2025-11-12, reducing his stake by approximately 49% from 110,314 to 56,293 shares at a blended average price of $285.16. The current stock price of $258.21 is 12.2% below the 52-week high, yet the stock has appreciated 17.7% over 30 days and 67.2% over 90 days, placing this large reduction in holdings during a period of substantial recent momentum. The multi-tranche execution at incrementally higher prices (from $279.69 to $296.09) and the magnitude of the reduction (54.0K shares) warrant investor attention given the CFO's fiduciary role and the company's strong fundamentals (revenue growth +38.9%, P/E 37.26). Prior trades at STX have not yet generated measurable outcomes, so no timing pattern is established at this ticker to contextualize the signal.

$2,134,046
Significance 5/10

CFO Romano Gianluca sells 8,002 shares at blended average $266.69 across 13 transactions on 2025-11-13

Romano Gianluca, EVP & CFO of Seagate Technology, executed 13 separate sales totaling 8,002 shares for $2,134,045.75 on 2025-11-13 at prices ranging from $260.03 to $275.69, reducing his holdings from 56,293 to 48,291 shares (-14.2% vs pre-transaction holdings). The transaction occurred against a backdrop of strong recent price momentum: STX has gained +17.7% over 30 days and +67.2% over 90 days, currently trading at $258.21, approximately 12.2% below its 52-week high of $293.99. The company exhibits robust fundamentals with latest quarterly revenue of $2,629,000,000.00, net income of $549,000,000.00, annual revenue growth of +38.9%, and a P/E of 37.26. The executive's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, indicating his prior sales have not consistently preceded stock declines; same-ticker history at STX shows 5 prior recent sells (four on 2025-11-12, one on 2025-11-13) with outcomes not yet measurable.

Significance 6/10

CFO Gianluca Romano sells 51,834 shares (57.6% of holdings) at avg $117.45 for $6.1M at near 52-week highs

Romano Gianluca (EVP & CFO) executed 4 separate sales totaling 51,834 shares for $6,087,785.25 on 2025-05-29 and 2025-05-30, reducing his holdings from 89,916 shares to 38,082 shares. The sales occurred at a blended average price of $117.45, just 0.2% below the 52-week high of $118.14, suggesting execution at peak valuations. Across his prior 5 trades at Seagate, only 2 of 5 sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, indicating mixed predictability at this specific ticker. The 30-day price appreciation of +29.6% and 90-day appreciation of +15.7% since transaction date, combined with Seagate's -11.3% annual revenue decline and P/E of 16.75, provide context for evaluating whether this represents opportunistic liquidity or a broader signal about management confidence.

68,954 shares
$6,994,034
Significance 4/10

CFO Romano Gianluca sells 68,954 shares at avg $101.43 for $7.0M, reducing stake by 59.8% amid -11.3% YoY revenue decline

Romano Gianluca, EVP & CFO of Seagate Technology Holdings plc, executed three separate sales totaling 68,954 shares for $6,994,033.66 at an average price of $101.43 between November 22–25, 2024, leaving him with 46,277 shares post-transaction. The 59.8% reduction in his holdings from 115,231 shares is material and represents the largest single-period disposition in this filing period. The timing aligns with a 52-week context where the stock trades 9.8% below its high of $112.64, though current price at $101.66 sits just 0.23 above the blended sale price. Fundamentally, STX reported -11.3% annual revenue growth and a P/E of 26.07, with latest quarterly revenue of $2,168,000,000 and net income of $305,000,000. His prior five sales at STX in August 2024 all yielded positive returns over both 30 and 90 days; this November filing occurs amid a 30-day price change of -1.3% and 90-day gain of +2.4%, suggesting recent momentum but within a declining annual revenue context that merits monitoring.

25,760 shares
$2,435,299
Significance 4/10

CFO Romano Gianluca sells 25,760 shares across 5 transactions for $2,435,298.60 at Seagate (STX)

Romano Gianluca, EVP & CFO of Seagate Technology, executed 5 separate sales on 2024-08-07 totaling 25,760 shares (25.8K shares) for $2,435,298.60, reducing his holdings by 32.9% from 78,380 shares to 52,620 shares post-transaction. The sales were executed at prices ranging from $93.80 to $95.14, with a blended average price of $94.54, slightly below the current price of $96.28. His prior sales at Seagate show a consistent pattern of underperformance on a 90-day basis: across 5 prior trades at this ticker, 0 of 5 were well-timed (all showed positive 90-day returns of 7.6% to 18.7%), meaning the stock rose after each sale, and he did not sell into declines. The company reported a -11.3% annual revenue decline with a P/E of 34.02 and net income of $25.0M on quarterly revenue of $1.7B.
