Miller Russell D

Sr. EVP Russell D Miller sold 1,500 COST shares at $916.32; stock now at $943.08, -12.4% from 52-week high.

Russell D Miller, Sr. Executive Vice President of Costco, sold 1,500 shares on 2026-01-09 at $916.32, reducing his holdings to 8,240 shares (8.2K shares) from 9,740 shares (9.7K shares). The sale occurred when the stock was trading 12.4% below its 52-week high of $1,076.86, and the current price of $943.08 stands just 2.9% above the transaction price. At Costco specifically, Miller's prior three trades show mixed timing outcomes: his 2023-11-03 and 2024-10-11 sells preceded positive 90-day returns (+26.3% and +4.1% respectively), while his 2025-09-29 sale preceded a 90-day decline of -4.6%, resulting in a 1-of-3 well-timed rate at this ticker. Costco's valuation remains elevated at a P/E of 50.43 despite solid fundamentals (annual revenue growth +8.2%, Q latest revenue $17.8B, market cap $418.6B), and the 30-day post-transaction return of +6.6% suggests modest near-term momentum unrelated to the sale.

SVP Russell Miller sold 3,381 COST shares at $915.00 (9/29), reducing stake to 9,740 shares; stock now down 2.8% in 30d and 7.1% in 90d.

Miller Russell D, Sr. Executive Vice President, sold 3,381 shares at $915.00 on 2025-09-29, reducing his holdings by -25.8% from 13,121 to 9,740 shares for a total value of $3,093,615.00. Since the transaction, the stock has declined 2.8% over 30 days and 7.1% over 90 days from the sale price. His prior trades at COST (2 sells in 2023 and 2024) both resulted in positive 90-day returns of 26.3% and 4.1%, meaning the stock rose after those sales—a pattern of poorly-timed exit points. The current sale occurs with the stock at $917.34, roughly -14.8% from its 52-week high, suggesting execution near a relative peak in early fall. COST trades at a P/E of 51.86 with quarterly revenue of $17,780,000,000.00 and recent annual growth of +5.0%.

Sr. EVP Russell D Miller sold 4,400 shares of COST for $3.9M on 2024-10-11, reducing holdings by 30.1%.

Russell D Miller, Sr. Executive Vice President of Costco Wholesale, sold 4,400 shares for $3,921,068.80 at $891.15, a price only 2.4% below the 52-week high of $917.08. His post-transaction holdings of 10,202 shares represent a 30.1% reduction from prior holdings of 14,602 shares. In his cross-ticker track record, Miller's prior open-market sell (also at Costco in November 2023) was followed by +26.3% upside over 90 days—a poorly-timed sale given the stock subsequently appreciated. The current transaction occurs with Costco trading near historically elevated levels (P/E 53.92) and follows the same pattern: a sale by this executive that did not precede a material decline in his prior engagement with the stock. This sale represents a material reduction in direct ownership by a senior operating executive, warranting investor attention to any subsequent disclosure updates.
