Matson EVP and Chief Admin Officer Peter Heilmann sells 7,173 shares for $1.29M, his fourth open-market sale at the company in 36 months.
Peter Heilmann, Matson's Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, sold approximately one-fifth of his direct shareholding in a transaction totaling roughly $1.3 million, reducing his stake from about 32,700 shares to about 25,500 shares. This marks his fourth open-market sale at Matson over the past three years—a consistent pattern of disposition rather than accumulation. Examining his prior three sales at this company reveals a troubling track record: all three were poorly timed, with the stock rising in the 30-day and 90-day periods following each exit, a uniform poor-timing pattern across both timeframes. The company remains solidly profitable with a reasonable valuation, but the stock is currently trading about 5% below its 52-week high after a notable rally over the past quarter. Heilmann's repeated selling, combined with his historically unsuccessful exits from this same stock, suggests neither insider conviction in Matson's near-term prospects nor a pattern of selling at opportune moments.
