MOELIS KENNETH

CEO Kenneth Moelis sells 9,712 shares of MC at $74.00 (2025-02-19); stock now $71.27, down 9.2% in 30 days.

Kenneth Moelis sold 9,712 shares for $718,688.00 on 2025-02-19, reducing his holdings by 4.4% to 209,235 shares. The sale occurred at $74.00 per share, and the stock has since declined to $71.27, making this sale appear well-timed relative to the subsequent 30-day performance (-9.2%). His prior trades at MC show mixed timing: 3 of his 5 prior MC sales exhibited negative 90-day returns (well-timed), while 2 showed positive returns. His cross-ticker track record is stronger, with a 25.00% well-timed rate on 12 prior sells and an average 90-day return of +10.6%. However, the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year despite recording $19,240,000.00 in net income in the recent period, creating ambiguity about underlying financial health.

CEO Kenneth Moelis sells entire 105.3K-share position for $7.3M at $68.89 avg; currently 0 shares held

Kenneth Moelis, Chairman and CEO of Moelis & Co, executed three separate sales on July 30-31, 2024, totaling 105,308 shares for $7,254,445.22 at a blended average price of $68.89, eliminating his entire shareholding. The current stock price is $62.22, down 10.0% from the 52-week high of $69.13, and the transaction prices ($68.87–$69.16) were at or near the 52-week peak. Notably, the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, though it reported a quarterly net income of $14,921,000.00. This complete liquidation of a CEO's personal stake, executed at historically strong valuations, stands out relative to his prior five trades at MC: three prior sales in late February and early March 2024 (each yielding positive 90-day returns of +1.2% to +5.0%), suggesting none of his historical sales at this ticker have been well-timed, yet this filing represents a departure—a total exit rather than a partial reduction. An investor should monitor whether this full exit reflects a structural shift in the CEO's relationship with the company or confidence in near-term prospects.
