MCCARTHY MICHAEL O III

QS CLO Michael McCarthy sold 75,000 shares in 2 separate sales at $6.80–$6.90 for $510.0K; stock down -63.7% from 52-week high and -46.7% in 90 days post-sale.

Michael McCarthy, Chief Legal Officer at QuantumScape (QS), executed 2 separate sales totaling 75,000 shares for $510,003.00 at an average price of $6.80. His prior sales at QS show a consistent pattern of well-timed exits: 4 of 5 recent prior trades at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent sales in late November declining -5.2% and -3.6% in the 30 days that followed. QuantumScape is unprofitable with a net income of $-105,824,000.00 over the most recent full fiscal year, and the stock has deteriorated substantially since these sales—down -46.7% in 90 days and -63.7% from its 52-week high of $18.44. The insider's demonstrated accuracy in exiting QS prior to decline, combined with the company's fundamental losses and the subsequent sharp price deterioration, suggests these sales preceded a period of material underperformance.

QS Chief Legal Officer sold 76.4K shares ($894.2K) across 2 days; post-transaction holdings 137.9K shares (-35.7%).

Michael O McCarthy III, Chief Legal Officer at QuantumScape, executed 2 separate sales totaling 76,415 shares for $894,182.53 over 2025-11-24 and 2025-11-25 at blended average price of $11.70. This represents a -35.7% reduction in his held position. The sales occur against a backdrop of fundamental weakness: the company reported net income of $-105,824,000.00 over its most recent full fiscal year and trades at a current price of $12.08, down -25.8% over the last 30 days and -34.5% from its 52-week high of $18.44. At the same ticker, McCarthy's prior 3 measurable sales showed a 2-of-3 well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, suggesting some historical accuracy in his exit timing at this stock; however, cross-ticker track record outcomes (average -6.6% at 90 days with 83.33% well-timed rate) cannot be presumed to predict this transaction's directional accuracy.

Chief Legal Officer sold 50,000 shares at $15.78, stock now at $18.44 (+26.4% in 30 days); prior trades at QS show 75% well-timed 90d outcomes

Michael O McCarthy III, Chief Legal Officer of QuantumScape, sold 50,000 shares (3.5% of his holdings) at $15.78 on 2025-10-30, reducing his stake from 1.43M shares to 1.38M shares. The sale occurred before a sharp recovery: QS has rallied +26.4% over the past 30 days and +123.2% over 90 days, now trading at $18.44, near its 52-week high. Examining his same-ticker history, McCarthy has executed 5 prior open-market trades at QS; 3 of 4 measurable sales showed negative 90-day returns (well-timed exits ahead of declines). However, the current trade occurred after a recent sale on 2025-10-24 (still within evaluation window), suggesting consecutive selling activity during a period of strong upward momentum. The company remains unprofitable with net income of $-105.8M, which adds fundamental context to executive stock reduction.

CLO Michael McCarthy III sells 46,264 QS shares at $15.26; strong recent momentum (+77.6% in 90 days) but company reports $-105.8M net loss.

McCarthy sold 46,264 shares (46.3K shares) on 2025-10-24 at $15.26, reducing holdings by 3.3% to 1,376,118 shares. The transaction occurred after substantial recent appreciation—the stock has risen 77.6% over 90 days and 23.1% over 30 days—yet QuantumScape remains unprofitable with net income of $-105.8M over its most recent full fiscal year. Notably, McCarthy's prior trades at QS show strong timing accuracy: 4 of 5 prior sells resulted in negative 90-day returns, indicating he has historically exited before declines. This sale follows the same pattern after a period of significant price appreciation, even as the underlying business continues to generate substantial losses.

QS Chief Legal Officer McCarty sells 500.0K shares at $11.60 (36.6% above current); maintains 1.47M shares post-sale

On 2025-07-25, Michael O McCarty III, Chief Legal Officer of QuantumScape Corp, sold 500,000 shares at $11.60 per share, reducing his holdings from 1.97M to 1.47M shares (a 25.4% reduction). The sale price of $11.60 is now $2.32 above the current price of $9.28, placing the transaction 36.6% above the 52-week low but 36.6% below the 52-week high of $14.64. Notably, McCarty's prior five trades at QS show a perfect 5 of 5 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark, with all sales followed by stock declines ranging from -6.0% to -17.2% over 90 days. This transaction occurred in the context of QuantumScape reporting negative net income of -$114.7M for the most recent full fiscal year, with a market cap of $885.8M. The timing and scale of this sale, combined with the insider's demonstrated track record of selling ahead of subsequent declines at this ticker, merits investor attention to near-term price dynamics and the company's path to profitability.

CLO MCCARTHY sold 206,122 shares at $5.85–$5.90 blended average for $1.2M; stock -36.8% from 52-week high; company posted -$123.0M net income.

Chief Legal Officer Michael O McCarthy III executed 2 separate sales totaling 206,122 shares for $1,205,520.66 on 2024-09-12 and 2024-09-13, reducing his holdings by 14.9%. The sales occurred at prices ($5.80–$5.90) well below the 52-week high of $9.30, and the company is currently unprofitable with a -$123.0M full-year net income. McCarthy's prior 3 trades at QuantumScape all saw negative 30-day returns (ranging -11.7% to -14.0%), and his cross-ticker track record shows an average 30-day return of -12.5% following sales. The pattern of consistent selling activity from this executive in a loss-making company at depressed valuations within its annual range warrants attention to whether management views near-term prospects as challenged.

CLO Michael O McCarthy III sells 667,429 shares over 3 days at $6.56 blended average, reducing stake by 34.2% amid -51.5% decline from 52-week high

Michael O McCarthy III, Chief Legal Officer at QuantumScape, executed 3 separate sales on consecutive trading days (July 29-31, 2024) totaling 667,429 shares for $4,380,625.71 at a blended average price of $6.56. This sale reduced his holdings from 1,951,276 shares to 1,283,847 shares, a net reduction of 34.2% of his pre-transaction position. The stock is currently trading at $6.46, down 51.5% from its 52-week high of $13.31, while the company reported a full-year net loss of $-122,975,000.00. The multi-day execution pattern and substantial reduction in his equity stake, combined with the stock's significant depreciation from its high and the company's unprofitable fundamentals, provide material context for investors monitoring insider position changes at this stage of the company's development.
