EVP Anne Morrison sold 2,571 shares of Essex Property Trust at $314.79 on 2025-03-03 for $809,325.09, reducing holdings by 43.1%.
Anne Morrison, EVP, CAO & General Counsel, executed a substantial sale of 2,571 shares at $314.79, reducing her direct holdings from 5,960 to 3,389 shares—a 43.1% reduction in a single transaction. The sale occurred near the company's 52-week high of $315.15, with the stock at $308.22 post-transaction. Morrison's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell well-timed at the 90-day mark with an average 90-day return of -4.8%, and her sole prior ESS transaction (a September 2024 sale) similarly exhibited -4.8% 90-day performance. This current sale follows a pattern of her prior trading activity at this ticker, though the magnitude (43.1% portfolio reduction) represents a more substantial disposition than typical portfolio adjustments. Investors should monitor whether this signals a shift in her confidence in the company's near-term prospects or reflects personal capital reallocation, particularly given the timing near all-time highs.
