Significance 3/10

CEO Kurian George sold 8,750 shares (8.8K shares) of NetApp at $122.91 on 2025-09-17, reducing holdings to 274,938 shares

CEO Kurian George conducted a single open-market sale of 8,750 shares (8.8K shares) at $122.91, reducing his NetApp position by 3.1% to 274,938 shares (274.9K shares). The sale occurred when NetApp stock was trading 4.5% below its 52-week high of $131.11, after a recent 15.4% surge over 30 days. His prior five sales at NetApp show poor timing outcomes: 0 of 3 measurable 90-day post-sale periods resulted in the stock declining (each subsequent rise indicates the sale missed gains), with most recent sales in June through August yielding post-transaction gains of 2.3% to 13.8%. This single sale represents modest portfolio activity rather than a material reduction in CEO holdings, leaving him with substantial remaining shares in the company.

Significance 4/10

CEO Kurian George sold 8,500 shares at $108.85 on 2025-08-18 (post-transaction holdings: 283.7K shares). Continued liquidation pattern.

Kurian George sold 8,500 shares of NTAP for $925,225.00, reducing his holdings by 2.9% to 283.7K shares. This is his sixth open-market sale at this ticker within four months (prior sales on 2025-07-21, 2025-06-16, 2025-05-19, 2025-05-19, and 2025-04-21), continuing a systematic liquidation pattern. Across his prior 5 measured sales at NTAP, none achieved negative 90-day returns, with three showing substantial gains (90d returns of +8.4%, +9.1%, and +32.4%), indicating his timing has not preceded price declines at this specific ticker. His cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -5.7% following 20 prior sells with a 50.00% well-timed rate, but NTAP outcomes have diverged materially from this baseline—the stock has rallied after his previous exits, not fallen. The current price of $108.42 is -18.7% from the 52-week high but +8.7% over 90 days and +0.9% over 30 days, providing context for the ongoing liquidation.

CEO George Kurian sold 8,500 NTAP shares at $108.08 on 2025-07-21; stock now at $105.88, down 20.6% from 52-week high

George Kurian (CEO) executed a single open-market sale of 8,500 shares (8.5K shares) for $918,680.00 ($918.7K), reducing his NTAP holdings from 296,805 to 288,305 shares. The transaction occurred at $108.08, above the current price of $105.88 but 20.6% below the 52-week high of $133.41. His prior trades at NTAP show mixed timing: two recent sales (June, May 2025) posted positive 30-day returns (+2.3%, +2.4%, +3.1%), while his 90-day measurable outcomes (0 of 2 prior sales) reveal neither sale preceded a decline. His cross-ticker track record shows a 58.82% well-timed rate across 20 prior sells, slightly above breakeven, with average 90-day returns of -7.7%, though the 90-day outcomes for his more recent NTAP sales remain unmeasurable. The company carries solid fundamentals: $1.6B quarterly revenue, $299.0M net income, 4.8% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 15.87.

Significance 4/10

CEO George Kurian sold 8,500 NTAP shares at $101.78 on 2025-06-16 for $865,130.00; price now $102.75.

George Kurian, CEO of NetApp, sold 8,500 shares (8.5K shares) at $101.78 on 2025-06-16, reducing holdings from 305.3K to 296.8K shares. At his same-ticker history across 5 prior trades at NTAP, the two measurable 90-day outcomes—a sell on 2025-03-17 and another on the same date—both produced positive returns (+8.7% and +8.2%), indicating those earlier sales preceded stock gains rather than declines. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 64.71% well-timed rate and average 90-day return of -9.7%, suggesting modest timing skill on aggregate. The current stock price of $102.75 is -23.7% from its 52-week high of $134.62, and NetApp's P/E of 15.40 with positive fundamentals ($1.6B latest quarterly revenue, net income of $299.0M, annual growth +4.8%) indicates the company is not in distress. The sale itself is modest in scale, reducing CEO holdings by only 2.8%, which is consistent with periodic portfolio management.

Significance 6/10

CEO Kurian George sells 8,500 NTAP shares for $850,145.06; prior 90d timing 100% well-timed at ticker.

CEO Kurian George executed 2 separate sales totaling 8,500 shares (8.5K shares) for $850,145.06 ($850.1K) at prices of $99.68 and $100.34 on 2025-05-19, reducing his holding from 313,805 to 305,305 shares. His prior 5 trades at NTAP include 2 sales with measurable 90-day outcomes, both of which were well-timed (90d returns of -15.0% and -14.4%), indicating a pattern of selling before subsequent declines at this ticker. The current price of $99.57 is -26.0% from the 52-week high and -20.1% over the past 90 days, placing the stock in a period of weakness; his cross-ticker track record shows a 90d well-timed rate of 76.47% across 20 prior sells. The combination of established timing accuracy at NTAP and the execution during downward price momentum warrants investor attention to whether this signals forward-looking concerns about near-term performance.

His prior trades at NTAP show a pattern of selling into weakness—four of five recent trades (all within the last three months) each showed 30-day declines of 12.0% to 22.9%, though one January sale achieved a net 90-day loss of 33.5%. Across his broader cross-ticker track record, his 20 prior sells posted an average 90-day return of -10.6% with a 75.0% well-timed rate, suggesting systematic success identifying sell windows.

The current sell occurs within a deteriorating price environment for the stock.

Significance 5/10

NetApp CEO George Kurian sold 8,500 shares for $1.1M at $124.29 average (3 transactions on 2024-12-16).

Kurian George executed 3 separate sales totaling 8,500 shares for $1,056,463.52 on December 16, 2024, at a blended average price of $124.29, reducing his holdings by 2.9% from 288,282 shares to 279,782 shares.

His prior open-market trades across all tickers show a 90-day well-timed rate of 46.15%, though this is a cross-ticker average; at NetApp specifically, his 5 prior trades show mixed results, with only 1 measurable 90-day outcome (a +4.7% return after a September 2024 sell, indicating the stock rose after that sale). The current filing shows no FLAG indicating a pre-planned 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning this sale was discretionary.
