Significance 3/10

Mercier (Chief Comm & Corp Aff Officer) sold 28,000 shares on 2026-05-15 for $3.7M under scheduled 10b5-1 plan from 2025-02-20.

Mercier executed 4 separate sales totaling 28,000 shares for $3,676,198.56 at blended average price $131.29 on 2026-05-15, reducing her holdings by 18.2% to 125,779 shares post-transaction. This sale was conducted under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-02-20, meaning it was scheduled rather than discretionary. Prior sales at GILD on 2026-02-17 and 2025-11-17 show mixed short-term outcomes but context here is the structured, non-opportunistic nature of the current filing. GILD trades at P/E 17.48 with $7.0B quarterly revenue and +2.4% annual growth; the stock is -17.6% from its 52-week high and -5.8% over 30 days.

Significance 4/10

Mercier (Chief Comm Officer, GILD) sold 28,000 shares at avg $154.44; holds 120,288 shares post-sale.

Johanna Mercier sold 28,000 shares (18.9% of pre-transaction holdings) across three separate transactions on 2026-02-17 for a blended average price of $154.44, reducing her stake to 120,288 shares. The sales occurred near the 52-week high ($155.80), with current price at $152.74. Her same-ticker history at GILD shows 5 prior sells, none of which were well-timed at the 90-day mark; the most recent sales in November 2025 and August 2025 were followed by positive 90-day returns of +23.2%, +22.8%, +5.2%, and +5.6%, indicating the stock rose after her previous exits. While Mercier's cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +10.0% after sells with a 0.00% well-timed rate, her consistent pattern of selling into strength at this ticker, combined with prior unsuccessful timing calls, provides limited signal about near-term direction.

Significance 4/10

CCO Mercier Johanna sold 28.0K shares at blended avg $125.86 on 2025-11-17 for $3.5M; retains 107.2K shares.

Mercier executed 2 separate sales totaling 28,000 shares for $3,524,173.42, reducing her post-transaction holdings to 107.2K shares, a -20.7% reduction from her pre-transaction position of 135.2K shares. The sale occurred at a blended average price of $125.86, which is 1.0% below the current price of $127.18 and near the 52-week high of $127.18. At the same ticker, her 5 prior open-market sells have shown a 0% well-timed rate, with 90-day returns averaging +5.2% to +5.6%—meaning the stock rose after her prior sales, indicating poor timing on those occasions. This sale occurs within a context where Gilead's P/E is 19.45, revenue growth is +6.0% annually, and the company posted $3.1B net income on $7.8B quarterly revenue. The sale is material in size relative to her remaining holdings, though her cross-ticker track record shows limited historical success in predicting subsequent price movements.

GILD: Chief Commercial Officer Mercier sold 28,000 shares for $3.3M on 2025-08-15 at blended avg $118.53

Johanna Mercier, Chief Commercial Officer at Gilead Sciences, executed 6 separate sales totaling 28,000 shares for $3,318,926.70 on 2025-08-15, reducing her holdings by 19.7% to 114,168 shares. The blended average sale price of $118.53 is near the current price of $117.99 and within recent trading range ($73.78–$120.47 52-week).

CCO Mercier Johanna sold 28,000 shares at $107.52 ($3.0M) on 2025-05-22; reduces stake by 18.8%

Chief Commercial Officer Johanna Mercier executed three separate sales totaling 28,000 shares for $3,010,563.60 at $107.52 per share, reducing her stake from 149,152 to 121,152 shares (an 18.8% reduction). At the current price of $107.37, the stock is -8.6% from its 52-week high of $117.41. Her prior two sales at GILD (2024-09-12) posted 90-day returns of +9.7% and +11.0%, indicating the stock subsequently appreciated after those exits; neither was well-timed on the downside. Gilead is valued at 22.37 P/E with $6.7B quarterly revenue and +6.0% annual growth, and the stock has moved +0.9% over 30 days and -2.4% over 90 days—showing volatility near recent lows but no clear directional confirmation of her sale timing.

Significance 5/10

GILD CCO Mercier sells 29,357 shares (27.3% of holdings) for $2.5M at $83.78–$84.23 blended on 2024-09-12

Johanna Mercier, Chief Commercial Officer of Gilead Sciences, executed 2 separate sales totaling 29,357 shares for $2,459,576.75, reducing her holdings by 27.3% to 78,127 shares. The sales occurred at prices ($84.23 and $83.25) slightly above the current price of $82.81, within a 52-week range of $63.15–$87.29, suggesting execution near recent market levels rather than at valuation extremes. With the stock up 11.7% over 30 days and 27.3% over 90 days, the timing does not represent capitulation; however, the magnitude of the reduction (nearly one-third of prior holdings) reflects a material decrease in Mercier's direct stake in the company. Gilead's current trading multiple (P/E of 97.42) remains elevated relative to growth metrics (flat annual revenue growth of -0.6%), a context worth noting when evaluating changes in executive positioning.
