Significance 6/10

Jenkins sells 6,218 PANW shares for $1,169,423.42; prior 5 sales at ticker all well-timed (stock fell after each).

William D Jenkins Jr, President of Palo Alto Networks, executed 2 separate sales totaling 6,218 shares for $1,169,423.42 on 2025-12-26, reducing his holdings by 4.0% to 149,121 shares. His transaction prices averaged $188.07, just 0.65% above the current price of $186.85, yet the stock is -15.6% from its 52-week high and -8.2% over the last 90 days. Notably, Jenkins' prior 5 open-market sales at PANW were all well-timed at the 90-day mark—each was followed by stock declines—establishing a consistent pattern of selling ahead of weakness. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% well-timed rate on 20 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -34.1%, though this current sale occurred after a period of recent softness (-1.7% in 30 days, -8.2% in 90 days), leaving limited room for further deterioration to validate the historical pattern.

Significance 7/10

PANW President Jenkins sells 2,687 shares for $500,198.00; 5 prior PANW sales 100% well-timed (all -50% at 90d).

William D Jenkins Jr, President of Palo Alto Networks, executed 4 separate sales totaling 2,687 shares for $500,198.00 on 2025-05-23 at prices ranging from $184.24 to $187.20, reducing his holdings by 19.1% to 11,361 shares post-transaction. What stands out is his track record at this specific ticker: across 5 prior sales at PANW, all 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with every sale followed by declines averaging approximately -50% at 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows an even stronger 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00%, with an average 90-day return of -39.4% after his sells. Against this backdrop of consistent sell-timing accuracy, this current transaction—a substantial 19.1% reduction in his PANW position during a period when the stock is -9.8% from its 52-week high—aligns with the pattern of well-executed sales preceding material declines. The significance is heightened by the scale of the transaction and the precision of his historical timing across both this ticker and his broader portfolio.

1,305 shares

Significance 6/10

PANW President Jenkins sells 1,305 shares for $506.3K; his prior 5 PANW sales all well-timed with negative 90d returns averaging -48.9%

William D Jr, President of Palo Alto Networks, sold 1,305 shares at $387.96 on 2024-11-25, reducing his holdings from 13,287 to 11,982 shares. His track record at PANW is notably consistent: all 5 prior sales show negative 90-day returns, ranging from -43.7% to -50.8%, with a median outcome of approximately -50.0%. This established pattern of well-timed exits—where the stock declined after each sale—suggests the insider has demonstrable skill in timing departures from the position. Against current price of $198.20 (down from transaction price of $387.96), the stock has moved significantly lower, consistent with the directional pattern his prior sales have captured. The company shows solid fundamentals (16.5% annual revenue growth, P/E of 23.79), so the pattern reflects timing precision rather than deteriorating business quality.

Sell
1,475 shares
$500,202
Significance 8/10

PANW President Jenkins sells 1,475 shares for $500,202.08; prior same-ticker sales 100% well-timed with 90d declines.

William D Jenkins Jr, President of Palo Alto Networks, executed 4 separate sales on 2024-07-01 totaling 1,475 shares (1.5K shares) for $500,202.08 at a blended average price of $339.12. His prior 5 sales at PANW were all well-timed at the 90-day mark, with 90d returns ranging from -43.2% to -44.6%. Since his sales on 2024-02-23, the stock has declined significantly. The current pattern mirrors his prior success: Jenkins sold as the stock approached multi-year highs (near the 52-week high of $188.45 at transaction time relative to recent trading levels), and his near-perfect historical accuracy at this ticker suggests an established pattern of capturing sales ahead of declines rather than trading mechanically. His post-transaction holdings remain substantial at 19,026 shares (19.0K shares), representing 93% of pre-transaction holdings, but the consistent timing quality across all 5 prior PANW trades warrants investor attention.
