IONS EVP/CLO O'Neil sells 10,148 shares at $75.25; stock down 11.8% in 30d; unprofitable company.
O'NEIL PATRICK R., EVP CLO & General Counsel, sold 10,148 shares of IONIS PHARMACEUTICALS INC at $75.25 on 2026-03-09, reducing his holdings by 14.0% to 62,211 shares. The stock has declined 11.8% over the 30 days following the transaction and is currently at $74.79, down 13.5% from its 52-week high of $86.50. At IONIS specifically, his prior 3 measurable sales all generated positive 90-day returns (+15.0%, +14.0%, +16.9%), meaning the stock rose after each of those sales—none were well-timed as sell decisions. IONIS remains unprofitable with net income of $-128,606,000.00 in its most recent fiscal year, despite strong quarterly revenue of $156,719,000.00 and annual revenue growth of +33.8%, creating a tension between growth momentum and profitability that warrants investor attention.
