Denise Pickett sold 23,385 shares of AXP for $8.3M, reducing holdings by 75.1%; prior AXP sales mostly poorly timed.

Denise Pickett, President of Enterprise Shared Services, sold 23,385 shares (23.4K shares) of American Express at $356.91 on 2026-02-05 for a total of $8,346,340.35 ($8.3M), reducing her holdings from 31,138 to 7,753 shares. This represents a -75.1% reduction in her position. Her prior trades at AXP have shown a poor 90-day timing record, with only 1 of 5 prior sells being well-timed (20.00% timing rate); her most recent AXP sale on 2025-10-22 returned +0.6% over 30 days and +0.4% over 90 days, while a year-ago sale on 2024-01-30 (repeated three times) returned +7.6% and +17.1% over the same windows. The current stock price of $359.15 is -6.7% from its 52-week high of $384.89 and down 5.0% over 30 days, suggesting the insider is selling into a declining environment relative to recent peaks.

Denise Pickett sold 5,000 AXP shares at $350.73; stock at 52-week high, 1 of 4 prior AXP sales well-timed at 90d

Denise Pickett, President of Enterprise Shared Services, sold 5,000 shares (39.3% of her pre-transaction holdings) at $350.73, reducing her stake from 12,725 to 7,725 shares. The sale occurred at the current 52-week high of $357.56, suggesting favorable pricing conditions. Pickett's cross-ticker track record shows a 25.00% well-timed rate on sells with an average 90-day return of +9.5%, yet at AXP specifically, only 1 of 4 prior sells was well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent AXP sale on 2025-02-05 declining 13.6% over 90 days. The stock's recent momentum—up 5.0% in 30 days and 14.8% in 90 days—provided a near-peak execution opportunity, though her historical timing accuracy on this particular ticker suggests limited predictive signal.

Pickett (Pres., GSG and TLS) sold 22.8K AXP shares for $7.3M, reducing holdings by 64.3% to 12.6K shares.

Pickett divested a substantial stake in American Express on February 5, 2025, selling 22,752 shares at $318.69 per share for total proceeds of $7,250,834.88. This represents a 64.3% reduction in her AXP holdings from 35,378 shares to 12,626 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $325.87 (−1.8% from peak), and comes as AXP stock has appreciated 6.0% over 30 days and 11.3% over 90 days. Notably, Pickett's prior AXP sales (all three on 2024-01-30) each generated positive 90-day returns of 17.1%, yet scored 0% as well-timed per the metric (meaning the stock subsequently rose after these sales). Against fundamentals of $16.6B quarterly revenue, $2.5B net income, 14.5% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 22.80, the timing of this sizable reduction near recent highs warrants observation of whether subsequent AXP price action and results will follow the pattern of her prior sales at this ticker.
