CFO Howie Jeffrey sells 32,684 shares ($5.9M) across 5 separate trades, reducing stake by 48.9%

Howie Jeffrey, EVP Chief Financial Officer of Williams Sonoma Inc, executed 5 separate sales on 2026-03-26 totaling 32,684 shares for $5,903,906.47, reducing his holdings from 66,822 shares to 34,138 shares (a 48.9% reduction). The sales were executed at prices ranging from $179.37 to $183.11 (blended average $180.64), against a current price of $175.29—placing the transaction 3.1% above the current market level. His prior trades at WSM show strong historical timing precision: 4 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with three June-July 2025 sales each posting negative 90-day returns (-5.6% to -7.1%). The cross-ticker track record shows a 20.00% well-timed rate on prior sells with average 90-day returns of +12.2%, indicating this insider has historically captured gains before reversals, though recent same-ticker performance reveals consistent downside outcomes. The magnitude of this liquidation—nearly half his open position in a single day—alongside the documented pattern of advantageous sell timing at this ticker warrants investor attention to near-term price action and underlying operational signals.

WSM CFO Howie Jeffrey sells 3,153 shares across 4 transactions for $626,950.98 on 2025-09-18, reducing holdings 8.5%.

Howie Jeffrey, EVP Chief Financial Officer of Williams Sonoma Inc, executed 4 separate sales totaling 3,153 shares for $626,950.98 on 2025-09-18, with a blended average price of $198.84, reducing his holdings from 37,291 to 34,138 shares. At the current price of $198.25, the stock is -8.9% from its 52-week high of $217.71 but up 24.8% over the past 90 days. His prior sales at WSM on 2025-07-01 achieved 30-day returns of +14.6%, +8.7%, +9.4%, +10.2%, and +10.6%, indicating his recent sells at this ticker have coincided with subsequent near-term gains. While his cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 18.18% across 20 prior sells, the company's fundamentals show flat annual revenue growth (-0.5%) and a P/E of 22.25, suggesting the stock is trading at a historically elevated multiple despite muted top-line expansion.

CFO Howie Jeffrey sells 4,000 WSM shares across 9 transactions on 2025-07-01 for $675.9K at blended average $168.96

Howie Jeffrey, EVP Chief Financial Officer of Williams Sonoma Inc, executed 9 separate sales totaling 4,000 shares for $675,851.62 on 2025-07-01, reducing his holdings by 10.4% from 38,388 to 34,388 shares. The transactions occurred at prices ranging from $163.16 to $169.79, with a blended average of $168.96, against a current stock price of $173.18. His prior trading record at WSM shows 5 recent sales on 2025-06-02, all of which recorded positive 30-day returns (+8.6% to +11.8%), consistent with a pattern of sales ahead of short-term stock strength. Cross-ticker track record metrics show an average 90-day return of 2.1% following sells, with a 55.56% well-timed rate, indicating modest historical predictive value but not exceptional timing precision. The current sale coincides with WSM trading near 52-week highs (-20.4% from the $217.71 peak but +24.7% over the preceding 90 days), suggesting execution during a period of recent momentum rather than in anticipation of material downside.

WSM CFO Howie Jeffrey sold 4,000 shares for $628,447.80 across 6 transactions on 2025-06-02

Howie Jeffrey, EVP Chief Financial Officer of Williams Sonoma Inc, executed 6 separate sales totaling 4,000 shares (4.0K shares) for $628,447.80 on 2025-06-02, reducing his holdings by 9.4% from 42,388 to 38,388 shares at a blended average price of $157.11. The stock currently trades at $159.97, +1.0% over 30 days and -12.3% over 90 days, placing it 26.5% below its 52-week high of $217.71. Jeffrey's cross-ticker track record shows 12 prior open-market sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, while his same-ticker sales at WSM (5 prior trades) have split between modest 30-day gains (ranging +2.3% to +3.6% on three May 1st sales) and losses (−8.8% and −7.4% on March 27th sales), with no 90-day outcomes yet measurable. The sale occurs within a company operating at a 17.95 P/E with flat annual revenue growth (−0.5%) and solid profitability ($231.3M net income on $1.7B revenue).

WSM CFO Howie Jeffrey sold 4,000 shares at blended avg $156.78 on 2025-05-01; holds 42,388 shares post-sale.

Howie Jeffrey, EVP and Chief Financial Officer of Williams Sonoma Inc, executed 3 separate sales totaling 4,000 shares for $627,133.99 at prices ranging from $156.21 to $158.08 on May 1, 2025. This sale reduced his holdings by 8.6% to 42,388 shares. The transaction occurred when WSM's stock was trading near recent lows, approximately 26.2% below its 52-week high of $217.71. Jeffrey's recent selling pattern at WSM shows consistent headwinds: his prior 5 trades at this ticker were all sells on March 27, 2025, each followed by 30-day declines ranging from -7.4% to -9.7%; however, 90-day outcome data for those sales remains unavailable. Cross-ticker, his track record of 9 prior open-market sells averaged -2.8% returns over 30 days but +9.8% over 90 days, with a well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating his prior sales have not consistently preceded stock declines. The repetitive selling pattern warrants observation, though the absence of measurable 90-day outcomes at WSM limits pattern confirmation.

CFO Howie Jeffrey sells 36.3K WSM shares in 5 transactions totaling $6.0M at blended $165.79; post-sale holds 46.4K shares (-43.9%).

Howie Jeffrey, EVP and Chief Financial Officer, executed 5 separate sales totaling 36,312 shares for $6,020,327.28 on 2025-03-27, reducing his holdings from 82,700 shares to 46,388 shares—a -43.9% reduction. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $163.30 to $167.38, with a blended average of $165.79, compared to the current price of $158.98 (down -27.0% from the 52-week high and down -19.8% over the prior 30 days). In his same-ticker history at WSM, all 4 prior sells (executed on 2024-12-02) showed positive 30-day and 90-day returns, indicating those prior sales were poorly timed relative to subsequent price appreciation; the current filing occurs after a sharp recent decline, which creates a markedly different context from the prior December sells. With the stock trading near multi-month lows and the CFO selling a material portion of his stake, the transaction's significance lies in monitoring whether this represents liquidity needs, portfolio rebalancing, or a data point in broader insider activity at the company.

CFO Howie Jeffrey sells 3,160 shares across 4 separate transactions for $560,561.62 at blended average $177.39

Howie Jeffrey, EVP Chief Financial Officer of Williams Sonoma Inc, executed 4 separate sales totaling 3,160 shares for $560,561.62 on 2024-12-02, reducing his holdings from 49,548 to 46,388 shares (-6.4%). The sales occurred across a narrow price range ($174.74–$178.75), with transaction prices notably below the current price of $186.99, indicating the stock has appreciated since execution. Against the backdrop of an annual revenue decline of -10.6% and a P/E of 21.03 at a $23.0B market cap, the modest scale of this reduction (under 7% of holdings) represents routine portfolio activity rather than a material reduction in stake. The sales do not reflect a significant directional shift in the CFO's exposure to the company.
