Michael J. Hartshorn, GROUP PRESIDENT and COO of Ross Stores, sold 6,061 shares at $214.52 on 2026-03-24 and 15,813 shares at $214.91 on 2026-03-25, totaling 21,874 shares for $4,698,514.43 at a blended average price of $214.80. His post-transaction holdings of 116,028 shares represent a 15.9% reduction from pre-transaction holdings of 137,902 shares. The timing occurs near the 52-week high of $216.03 (current price $214.30 is -0.8% from that peak) and follows a 30-day gain of +6.9% and 90-day gain of +18.3% in the stock. At the same ticker ROST, Hartshorn's prior five sells show a 3-of-5 well-timed rate at the 90-day mark: recent March 2025 sells saw the stock rise +8.4% and +8.2% in the subsequent 30 days before declining modestly at 90 days, while September 2024 and March 2024 sells were each followed by declines. The current transaction price is materially above the current trading level, suggesting execution near a local peak in a stock trading near its 52-week high.

Hartshorn, Group President and COO of Ross Stores, executed 2 separate sales totaling 17,750 shares for $2,280,920.56 on March 24-25, 2025, at blended average price $128.50. His same-ticker historical pattern shows 1 of 3 prior ROST sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, suggesting inconsistent execution discipline. The stock is currently down 18.5% from its 52-week high of $156.61 and has declined 17.0% over 90 days, while the company reports solid fundamentals: $5.1B quarterly revenue, +9.0% annual growth, and $488.8M net income. The sale reduced his holdings by 12.1% to 128,833 shares, a material position reduction occurring as the stock trades near relative weakness in its annual range.

COO Michael Hartshorn sells 8,366 shares of ROST at $155.64; stock near 52-week high, prior two sales at this ticker showed negative timing.

Hartshorn, Group President and COO, sold 8,366 shares (8.4K shares) at $155.64 on 2024-09-16, reducing his holdings from 111,415 to 103,049 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $155.25, with the stock currently trading at $150.73, down 2.9% from the peak. His prior two sales at ROSS STORES on 2024-03-27 and 2024-03-18 both showed positive 90-day returns (+1.4% and +0.5% respectively), indicating the stock rose after those transactions rather than fell—meaning neither sale proved well-timed by the insider's apparent selling pattern. With his cross-ticker track record showing 0% of prior sells well-timed at the 90-day mark and an average 90d return of +1.0% across his open-market history, this transaction fits a pattern where subsequent price movements have favored staying invested rather than exiting at these junctures.
