John Christopher Morris executed 2 separate sales totaling 1,364 shares for $1,200,579.16 on 2026-06-12 at an average price of $880.19, reducing his non-derivative holdings by 10.1% to 12,088 shares. This transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2026-01-29, indicating these sales are scheduled and not discretionary. Morris retains meaningful non-derivative holdings alongside 4,710 restricted share units, preserving significant equity stake in the company. The stock has appreciated 28.1% over the past 30 days and is trading at $1018.80 currently, 1.3% below its 52-week high of $1032.52, reflecting strong recent momentum in Seagate's shares. The scheduled nature of this sale through a pre-arranged plan removes any timing signal regarding the insider's confidence in the stock's direction.

CTO Morris John Christopher sells 5,626 shares of Seagate in 14 transactions totaling $4.15M, extending his three-year pattern of consistent selling.

Morris John Christopher, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Seagate, executed 14 sales totaling approximately 5,626 shares on a single date, extending his open-market sales to 19 at this company over the trailing 36 months. His prior five sales at Seagate were all poorly timed—the stock gained significantly after each exit, meaning he missed subsequent appreciation both in the near term and over longer periods. This current sale follows the same pattern: the stock has risen sharply in recent months and now trades near its 52-week high, suggesting the CTO is again selling into strength rather than weakness. The company remains fundamentally strong with growing revenue and solid profitability, but the insider's consistent and repetitive selling—never once buying on the open market—stands in stark contrast to the stock's upward momentum and may reflect personal portfolio management rather than concern about the business itself.

EVP & CTO Morris John Christopher sold 15,347 shares of STX for $3,004,950.21 on 2025-09-12 at $195.80 blended avg, reducing holdings 53.0%.

Morris John Christopher (EVP & CTO) executed 5 separate sales totaling 15,347 shares for $3,004,950.21, reducing his holdings from 28,962 shares to 13,615 shares—a 53.0% reduction. The blended average price of $195.80 occurs while the stock trades 36.7% higher over the prior 30 days and 61.3% higher over 90 days, near its 52-week high of $211.12. His prior four sales at Seagate show mixed timing outcomes: only 1 of 4 was well-timed at the 90-day mark (negative subsequent return), while 3 of 4 showed positive 90-day returns, indicating those prior sales generally preceded gains rather than declines. The current sale size represents a substantial reduction in his personal equity stake, and occurs against a backdrop of strong company fundamentals (revenue growth of 38.9% annually, P/E of 17.08) and significant recent price appreciation.

STX: SVP & CTO Morris John Christopher sold 9,414 shares (55.9% of holdings) at $101.27; stock now $102.53.

Morris John Christopher executed a substantial sell of 9,414 shares of Seagate (STX), reducing his holdings from 16,836 to 7,422 shares at a transaction price of $101.27. This represents a 55.9% reduction of his pre-transaction position—a material disposition by a senior technical leader. His prior three sells at STX (June and May 2024) all achieved positive 90-day returns of 1.3% to 2.8%, meaning the stock rose after he sold; across his same-ticker history, none of his sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark. Given STX's fundamentals (annual revenue decline of -11.3%, elevated P/E of 36.23, and a net income of only $25.0M on $1.7B quarterly revenue), the magnitude of this stake reduction warrants attention, though his historical timing pattern at this ticker shows no predictive edge.
