CFO Olsavsky sold 17,750 shares of AMZN at $222.74 on 2025-08-21 for $3,953,635; post-transaction holdings 49,000 shares.
Olsavsky sold 17,750 shares (26.6% of his pre-transaction holdings), reducing his stake from 66,750 to 49,000 shares. At his prior trades at AMZN, 2 of 5 prior sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, though 3 of 5 saw gains after the sale (including a +13.1% return 90 days after his May 2025 sale). His cross-ticker track record shows 8 prior sales with a 25.00% well-timed rate and average 90-day return of 7.8%, indicating his sales have historically preceded slight gains more often than declines. The current price of $227.94 is 2.3% above the transaction price and 5.8% below the 52-week high, reflecting modest upside momentum. For a company with $167.7B in quarterly revenue, 11.0% annual growth, and 28.46 P/E, this single transaction by a senior executive does not suggest a coordinated shift in insider positioning.
