Significance 5/10

Director Martin E Franklin sold 2,000,000 shares of APG at $42.08 for $84,160,000.00; post-trade holdings: 19,240,426 shares.

Martin E Franklin sold 2,000,000 shares (2.00M shares) at $42.08 on 2026-06-11 for $84,160,000.00 ($84.2M), reducing his stake by 9.4% to 19,240,426 shares. At his same ticker (APG), all 4 prior measurable sells resulted in subsequent stock gains: 30-day returns of +14.4%, +7.2%, +8.6%, +10.0%, and +5.3%, with 90-day returns of +16.2%, +17.7%, +19.1%, and +13.0%. His cross-ticker track record shows a 62.50% well-timed sell rate across 17 prior sales, but the 0 of 4 well-timed 90-day outcomes at APG specifically stand in contrast. The current stock price of $42.33 is -15.3% from the 52-week high of $49.99, suggesting the sale occurred in a context of recent price softness.

Significance 7/10

Director Franklin Martin E sold 3,000,000 shares of APG at $40.88 for $122.6M on 2026-03-19

Director Franklin Martin E executed a $122,640,000.00 sale of 3,000,000 APG shares at $40.88, reducing his holdings by 12.4% to 21,240,426 shares post-transaction. His prior sales at APG show a consistent pattern of poor timing: all 5 recent trades at this ticker generated positive 90-day returns averaging +16.2%, indicating he sold before subsequent rallies rather than before declines. At the cross-ticker level, his 16 prior sells averaged -17.1% 30-day return and -13.7% 90-day return with a 62.50% well-timed rate, yet his APG-specific record contradicts this strength—0 of 5 prior sells at this ticker were well-timed. APG's current fundamentals show revenue of $2,085,000,000.00 and annual growth of +12.7%, but valuation is elevated at P/E 54.92. The stock is down 9.0% from its 52-week high of $45.29, trading at $41.19 after a -7.3% 30-day decline.

900,000 shares
$32,342,702
Significance 7/10

Director Franklin Martin E sells 900,000 shares of APG for $32.3M across 5 transactions; retains 18.97M shares post-sale.

Franklin Martin E, a Director at APi Group Corp, executed 5 separate sales totaling 900,000 shares for $32,342,702.09 over three trading days (2025-11-03 to 2025-11-05) at a blended average price of $35.94, slightly below the current price of $36.38. The sale represents a 4.5% reduction in his holdings, leaving him with 18,968,790 shares post-transaction. His prior trades at APG show a consistent pattern: 4 of 4 prior measurable sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark (ranging from -26.6% to -33.9%), suggesting the insider has demonstrated accuracy in identifying sell points before subsequent declines. The current sale occurred as APG trades near its 52-week high of $36.82 (-1.2% from peak) and the stock is up 4.1% over 30 days and 4.7% over 90 days, placing it in a zone where his historical timing pattern has typically preceded downward pressure. The significance of this trade warrants attention given the scale ($32.3M), the insider's material remaining position, and the consistency of his prior execution discipline at this ticker.

Significance 8/10

Director Franklin Martin E sold 1.20M APG shares at $34.64 on 2025-09-02 for $41.6M; 5 of 5 prior APG trades were well-timed.

Franklin Martin E, a director, executed a substantial sale of 1,200,000 shares at $34.64, reducing his holdings to 19,868,790 shares. His prior trade history at APG spans five sell transactions (2024-08-21 through 2024-11-05), all of which were well-timed with negative 90-day returns ranging from -26.6% to -33.9%, reflecting a 100% track record of selling ahead of subsequent declines at this ticker. His cross-ticker history shows 10 prior sales with a 90d well-timed rate of 100.00%, demonstrating consistent execution in identifying unfavorable entry points for others. APG trades at a P/E of 58.37 with annual revenue growth of only +1.3%, and the current price of $35.02 sits 3.6% below the 52-week high of $36.34; this sale occurs within a context of elevated valuation multiples and minimal organic growth momentum.

Significance 8/10

Director Franklin Martin E sold 2,000,000 shares (94.8% of holdings) for $52,200,000 on 2025-03-19

Franklin Martin E, a director at Element Solutions Inc, executed 2 separate sales totaling 2,000,000 shares for $52,200,000 at a blended average price of $26.10, reducing his holdings from 2,109,100 shares to 109,100 shares—a 94.8% reduction in his position. The sale price of $26.10 was above the current price of $25.23 and above the 52-week low of $23.13, though the stock is -14.0% from its 52-week high of $29.33. His cross-ticker track record shows 8 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -34.6% after the sales, indicating a well-timed rate of 100.00%—his prior sales have been followed by stock declines. This substantial divestiture of nearly the entire position stands out given the scale ($52.2M), the director's prior success in timing sell decisions across his portfolio, and the near-complete exit from ESI, warranting investor scrutiny of the rationale behind such a material reduction.

Significance 7/10

Director Franklin Martin E sold 660,000 APG shares for $23.4M (avg $35.47) in 2 transactions on Nov 4-5, 2024; remains 13.45M shareholder.

Franklin Martin E, a director at APi Group, executed two separate sales totaling 660,000 shares on November 4–5, 2024, at an average price of $35.47, generating $23,408,751.34 in proceeds. The sale reduces his holdings by 4.7% but leaves him with substantial stake of 13,446,902 shares. His prior sales at APG have displayed a pattern of accuracy: 2 of 2 measurable 90-day outcomes showed negative returns (-41.7% and -40.9%), consistent with a 100.00% cross-ticker well-timed rate across his open-market history. The stock is currently trading at $24.65, approximately 30.6% below the transaction prices, though it has recovered 15.6% over the past 30 days from depressed levels. The timing and magnitude of this sale, coupled with his demonstrated track record of selling ahead of subsequent declines, merit monitoring for what the transaction may signal about near-term risk factors at APG.

Significance 6/10

Director Franklin Martin E sold 660,000 shares ($23.3M) over 3 days at $35.27 avg; stock now $23.84, down 9.6% from 52-week high.

Franklin Martin E, a Director at APi Group Corp, executed three separate sales totaling 660,000 shares (660.0K shares) for $23,279,636.55 ($23.3M) between August 21–23, 2024, at a blended average price of $35.27. The current price of $23.84 is 9.6% below the 52-week high of $26.38, and sits well below the transaction prices—meaning the stock has declined since these sales were executed. Examining his same-ticker history at APG, his prior three trades in June 2024 showed 30-day returns of -32.8%, -33.5%, and -34.7%, suggesting a pattern of sales followed by further declines. The post-transaction holding of 14,106,902 shares (14.11M shares) represents a 4.5% reduction from his prior position, indicating a material but not complete liquidation by this Director.
