John Colgrove

CVO John Colgrove sold 100,000 shares for $7.1M at blended avg $71.04 under 10b5-1 plan; retains 2.62M shares post-sale.

John Colgrove executed 5 separate sales totaling 100,000 shares for $7,103,769.46 at prices ranging from $70.00 to $71.54, representing a -3.7% reduction in his holdings to 2,615,000 shares. The transaction was executed under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2026-01-08, indicating the sales were scheduled rather than discretionary. Stock price has declined -14.4% over the past 30 days and stands -23.0% from its 52-week high of $93.92, though his prior 5 same-ticker sales at this company all occurred on 2026-05-11 and showed 30-day post-sale declines ranging from -23.0% to -25.4%. The scheduled nature of this transaction removes any timing signal; investors should note the pattern of post-sale price weakness in his prior same-ticker trades but recognize this filing reflects a programmatic disposition plan rather than a discretionary market judgment.

Chief Visionary Officer Colgrove executes largest single-day sale at Everpure: 300,000 shares ($17.2M) on May 11, reducing holdings by 43%; stock trades below 52-week high.

Colgrove John, Chief Visionary Officer and director, executed a substantial liquidation on May 11, selling 300,000 shares across 23 transactions totaling $17.2 million while simultaneously gifting 100,000 shares. This represents a dramatic reduction of his stake at the company. The sales occurred at prices ranging across a narrow band, suggesting a methodical execution rather than an urgent exit—yet the sheer volume disposed in a single day stands out given that Colgrove has never made an open-market purchase in the past three years, only sales and stock-based compensation awards. Everpure itself remains a profitable, growing company trading below its 52-week high, so this is not a response to fundamental deterioration. The May 11 sale follows another sale on April 24 whose outcome remains too recent to measure. Colgrove's prior open-market sales across all tickers show strong timing: the majority were well-executed exits over longer horizons. The concentrated nature of this transaction—$17 million in a single day from a single executive—combined with his established track record of well-timed exits and his zero history of open-market buying, suggests material confidence in selling at this price level rather than holding.

CVO John Colgrove sold 134,265 shares over 3 days (May 5-7) for $10,088,483.74 at avg $75.14; retains 467,694 shares post-sale.

Colgrove executed 3 separate sales totaling 134,265 shares for $10,088,483.74 across May 5–7, 2026, reducing his stake by -22.3% versus pre-transaction holdings of 601,959 shares. The transaction prices ($75.12, $75.01, $75.31) clustered tightly around the blended average of $75.14, which compares closely to the current price of $74.43 as of 2026-05-06. The stock is a recent listing (14 trading days), limiting historical context; valuations remain elevated (P/E 130.58) relative to revenue growth (+15.6% annually) and profitability ($87.9M net income on $2.6B revenue). The large absolute dollar sale ($10.1M) by a Chief Visionary Officer warrants investor attention to motivation and timing context, though this filing alone does not resolve whether the sale reflects portfolio rebalancing or broader business signal.

Director liquidates complete stake in Everpure via large sale near 52-week highs

A director has sold their entire shareholding in Everpure, disposing of roughly twenty-nine thousand shares at a price near the company's recent peak. This complete exit is noteworthy because it signals the insider is stepping away entirely rather than making a routine rebalancing trade. The company itself is profitable with strong revenue growth and a track record of financial performance, which could suggest the insider is simply taking chips off the table at a favorable price rather than fleeing weakness. However, the stock's valuation appears stretched relative to earnings, which may have factored into the decision to sell at current levels. The timing—at or very near 52-week highs—is the critical detail: insiders typically liquidate when they view valuations as attractive, not when they're concerned about fundamental deterioration.

Pure Storage CVO John Colgrove sold 100,000 shares (100% of holdings) for $7,130,641.49 on 2025-12-08; stock now at $70.15, down 22.1% in 30 days.

Chief Visionary Officer John Colgrove executed 3 separate sales totaling 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) for $7,130,641.49, fully liquidating his position in Pure Storage at a blended average price of $71.31. The transaction occurred on 2025-12-08 as the stock traded near the bottom of its 52-week range ($37.18–$98.70), down 28.9% from the 52-week high and -22.1% over the prior 30 days, suggesting downward momentum at the time of sale. Colgrove's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sells with an average 90-day return of +55.3% and a well-timed rate of 0.00%—indicating his prior sales have consistently underperformed in timing, as stocks rose after he sold. At Pure Storage specifically, his 5 prior trades show three recent sales on 2025-11-10 with outcomes not yet measurable, plus an earlier sale on 2025-10-14 that posted a -9.1% 30-day return, and none of his same-ticker sales have demonstrated well-timed execution at the 90-day mark.

CVO John Colgrove sells 100,000 PSTG shares (50% of holdings) for $9.2M across 4 transactions on 2025-11-10

John Colgrove, Chief Visionary Officer of Pure Storage, executed 4 separate sales totaling 100,000 shares for $9,158,935.46 on 2025-11-10, reducing his holdings from 200,000 shares to 100,000 shares at a blended average price of $91.59 — substantially above the current price of $88.59. The magnitude represents a 50.0% reduction in his stake. Across Colgrove's broader open-market history covering 20 prior sells, his cross-ticker track record shows average 90-day returns of +35.0% with a 25.00% well-timed rate (25% of prior sells occurred before subsequent declines), indicating mixed historical timing accuracy. At Pure Storage specifically, his 5 prior trades show only one measurable 90-day outcome (a +4.8% return 30 days after a September 2025 sale), with 4 recent October 2025 sales still lacking measurable results.

Chief Visionary Officer John Colgrove sold 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) for $9,248,931.45 ($9.2M) at blended average price $92.49 on 2025-10-14, reducing stake 33.3%.

Chief Visionary Officer John Colgrove executed 4 separate sales totaling 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) for $9,248,931.45 ($9.2M), cutting his holdings from 300,000 to 200,000 shares (a -33.3% reduction). The sales occurred at prices ranging from $90.19 to $93.04, near the stock's 52-week high of $93.62, and the current price sits at $91.92, only -1.8% from that peak. This high-volume liquidation by a C-suite executive is noteworthy given the stock's strong recent momentum: the 30-day change is +5.6% and the 90-day change is +58.2%. However, his cross-ticker track record shows a 90d well-timed rate of 87.50%, yet at PSTG specifically, none of his 5 prior measurable sales achieved negative 90-day returns—a pattern inconsistent with his cross-ticker execution. The substantial reduction in a top executive's position, while the stock near all-time highs and after a pronounced 90-day run-up, deserves investor attention for any signals about insider confidence levels relative to valuation.

Chief Visionary Officer Colgrove sells 100,000 shares (25% of holdings) for $8,733,093.95 at near 52-week highs.

Colgrove filed 2 separate sales totaling 100,000 shares on 2025-09-18 for $8,733,093.95, reducing his holdings by 25.0% from 400,000 to 300,000 shares. The transaction occurred at an average price of $87.33, executing near the 52-week high of $87.87 with the stock up 50.6% over the prior 30 days and 60.6% over 90 days. Across his full cross-ticker history, Colgrove's prior 20 sells showed a 90-day well-timed rate of 70.00%, though at PSTG specifically, 0 of his prior measurable 90-day outcomes were well-timed; his recent trades at this ticker (July and August 2025) posted 30-day gains of 26.7% to 28.8%, suggesting he has sold into strength at this company. The sale is notable for its size and timing relative to recent momentum, occurring in a stock with elevated valuation metrics (P/E of 209.17) and modest near-term fundamentals ($47.1M net income on $861.0M quarterly revenue).

Pure Storage CVO John Colgrove sold 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) for $6,007,671.00 in 2 transactions, reducing stake by 20.0%

John Colgrove, Pure Storage's Chief Visionary Officer, executed 2 separate sales totaling 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) for $6,007,671.00 on August 26–27, 2025, reducing his holdings by 20.0% from 500,000 shares to 400,000 shares. The sales occurred at a blended average price of $60.08, while the stock now trades at $80.54 (at the 52-week high), meaning the current price exceeds the transaction price by approximately 34%. Colgrove's cross-ticker track record shows a 58.33% well-timed rate across 20 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -0.1%, though his 5 prior same-ticker trades at PSTG (all recent, from July 30–31) are not yet measurable at the 90-day mark. The company is trading at a P/E of 206.51 on recent quarterly revenue of $778.5M and a net loss of $-14.0M, with the stock up 35.7% in the past 30 days and 50.3% over 90 days—significantly ahead of where Colgrove sold.

Chief Visionary Officer John Colgrove sold 400,000 shares ($24.1M) across 8 trades, reducing PSTG stake by 44.4%

John Colgrove executed 8 separate sales totaling 400,000 shares for $24,068,553.38 over a three-day window (2025-07-29 to 2025-07-31) at an average price of $60.17, cutting his holdings from 900,000 to 500,000 shares. His prior four sales at PSTG all proved well-timed at the 90-day mark (average 90d return -24.5%), and his cross-ticker track record shows a 42.11% well-timed rate on 20 prior sells. The current stock price of $59.52 sits 17.8% below the 52-week high of $72.37, while his sales occurred at prices near the top of the recent range; the stock has gained 7.8% over 30 days but 24.4% over 90 days, suggesting his distribution window captured elevated levels. Against this backdrop of a 152.62 P/E ratio and a net loss in the latest quarter, the scale and timing of this reduction warrant investor scrutiny of the underlying business conditions.
