FITB COO Leonard James C. sells 17,200 shares ($761.3K) at $44.26; stock down 11.5% from 52-week high, insider 100% well-timed on 5 prior FITB sells.
Leonard James C., EVP & Chief Operating Officer, sold 17,200 shares of FIFTH THIRD BANCORP at $44.26 on 2025-02-19, reducing holdings by 6.6% to 244.5K shares. His timing has been notably precise at this ticker: across 5 prior separate sales at FITB, all were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with consistent negative 90-day returns (-1.4% to -1.5%) indicating the stock declined after each sale. The current price of $42.88 is now 11.5% below the 52-week high of $48.44, placing this sale near a cyclical weakness. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100% well-timed rate on 10 prior sells, though his cross-ticker 90-day average return of -1.5% is modest in magnitude. The company itself reports a P/E of 12.92 and -2.0% annual revenue growth, operating in a lower-growth environment, warranting attention to whether this sale reflects operational insights unavailable to the market.
