CEO Mark Pearson sells 39,700 EQH shares at $45.28; holds 765,902 post-sale via scheduled 10b5-1 plan
Mark Pearson, President and CEO of Equitable Holdings, sold 39,700 shares (39.7K shares) for $1,797,814.50 ($1.8M) on 2026-06-18 at $45.28 as part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-05-16, meaning the transaction was scheduled rather than discretionary. Post-transaction, Pearson retains 765,902 shares (765.9K shares) in non-derivative holdings plus 27,200 shares through employee stock options, indicating no change in overall commitment to the company. At the same ticker, his prior five trades show mixed near-term outcomes (30-day returns ranging from -17.9% to +6.8%), while his broader cross-ticker track record across 20 sells has averaged -1.2% over 30 days and -8.0% over 90 days. The stock is currently down 20.6% from its 52-week high of $56.61 despite a 30-day appreciation of 5.5%, and the company reported a negative full-year net income in its most recent fiscal year alongside a -6.2% annual revenue decline, creating a mixed fundamental backdrop for evaluating this scheduled disposition.
