CEO Kemper J Mariner sold 18,714 shares at blended $128.68 for $2.4M, retaining 1.51M shares post-sale.
Mariner executed three separate sales totaling 18,714 shares for $2,408,023.97 at prices ranging from $128.04 to $129.19 on 2026-02-02, representing a -1.2% reduction in his 1.52M share position. The sales occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $128.05, with the current price at $127.96, and follow a period of substantial upside momentum: 30-day +9.9% and 90-day +19.4%. His prior trades at UMBF show a pattern of well-timed exits: 4 of 4 measurable prior sales resulted in negative 90-day returns, indicating he has historically sold before subsequent declines at this ticker. However, timing characterizations are best viewed alongside the context that he retains a substantial 1.51M share position, maintaining significant direct exposure to UMBF's performance despite the recent reductions.
