CFO Probst sells 29,930 VTR shares at $77.25; holdings drop to 136,159; stock now $76.14

Robert F Probst, EVP and CFO, sold 29,930 shares of Ventas on 2026-01-02 at $77.25 for a total value of $2,312,188.28, reducing holdings by 18.0% to 136,159 shares. This was one of five prior sells at VTR over the preceding six months, part of a consistent pattern of discretionary stock reduction. At his cross-ticker track record, the average 90-day return after his nine prior sells across all tickers was 7.2%, indicating his prior sales have been poorly timed; however, at VTR specifically, his 4 measurable prior sales (excluding the most recent 2025-11-12 sale) posted a 0.00% well-timed rate, with three of four generating positive 90-day returns. The stock has declined 5.6% in the 30 days since this sale, and the company's elevated P/E of 143.66 relative to net income of $68,708,000 reflects valuation pressure despite solid 9.5% annual revenue growth to $1,488,996,000.

Ventas CFO Robert F Probst sold 33,591 shares at $76.77 on 2025-11-12 (total $2.6M), reducing holdings 16.6% to 168.4K shares.

Robert F Probst, EVP and CFO, sold 33,591 shares of VTR at $76.77 for $2,578,844.89, reducing his holdings by 16.6% in a single transaction. The current price of $78.00 is at the 52-week high, and the stock has appreciated 13.2% over the past 30 days and 15.1% over 90 days. Probst's prior five sales at VTR have not been well-timed: 0 of 5 resulted in negative 90-day returns, meaning the stock subsequently rose after each of his prior sales at this ticker. His cross-ticker track record across 8 prior sells shows an average 90-day return of +7.2% with a well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating a pattern of selling before rallies rather than declines. The company's P/E ratio of 147.17 is notably elevated, though the business shows solid fundamentals with $1.5B in latest-quarter revenue and 9.5% annual revenue growth.

VTR CFO Robert F Probst sold 29,691 shares at $68.49 on 2025-08-04; stock now $68.50. Fifth major sale in three months.

Robert F Probst, EVP and CFO of Ventas, sold 29,691 shares for a total value of $2,033,587.06, reducing his holdings by 15.0% to 168,364 shares post-transaction. This is the fifth material sale in twelve weeks—prior sells on 2025-07-21, 2025-07-14, 2025-05-27, and 2025-05-21—suggesting a consistent pattern of liquidation rather than a single discretionary decision. At the cross-ticker level, Probst's prior seven open-market sales show an average 90-day return of +12.8%, with a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating his prior sales were executed before rallies rather than before declines. Notably, his same-ticker VTR sales show measured 30-day returns of -2.9%, -3.3%, and -3.4% on the three prior trades with measurable outcomes, suggesting his recent VTR sells preceded modest near-term weakness. The current stock price of $68.50 is only -2.8% below the 52-week high of $70.47, while the company's P/E of 155.68 is notably elevated relative to typical valuations, warranting scrutiny of whether this sustained high valuation has influenced the CFO's selling pattern.

CFO Probst sells 29,493 shares of VTR at $66.29 on 2025-07-21; holds 168,364 post-sale; stock now -4.3% from 52-week high.

Probst's sale of 29,493 shares represents a -14.9% reduction in his holdings, reducing his position from 197,857 to 168,364 shares. This is the sixth insider sale within a short span (he sold again on 2025-07-14 and three times in late May 2025), suggesting a deliberate liquidation program. At Ventas specifically, his prior four measurable outcomes show negative 30-day returns (-2.9%, -3.4%, -3.3%) or flat results, with only one 90-day outcome (2024-08-08 sale) that showed +7.4%, yielding a 0% well-timed rate at this ticker. Cross-ticker, his 90d well-timed rate stands at 0.00%, indicating his prior sales have not consistently preceded declines. The stock's current price of $67.46 is -4.3% from the 52-week high of $70.47, but his transaction at $66.29 came before that recent weakness, and the 30-day trend post-transaction shows +6.2% appreciation, consistent with his pattern of selling into strength rather than ahead of declines.

EVP & CFO Robert Probst sold 168.3K shares of VTR at $65.36 on 2025-07-14 for $11.0M

Robert Probst, EVP and CFO of Ventas, sold exactly 50.0% of his pre-transaction holdings (168,318 of 336,682 shares) at $65.36, reducing his position from 336.7K to 168.4K shares. The sale price sits 7.0% below the 52-week high of $70.47, occurring at a point where the stock has gained 4.3% over the preceding 30 days but declined 3.6% over 90 days. Examining his prior activity at this ticker specifically, his five most recent VTR trades show mixed outcomes: two May 2025 sales saw negative 30-day returns (-2.9% and -3.4%), while two older 2024 sales saw positive 30-day and 90-day returns (+6.8% to +7.4%). His cross-ticker track record across all open-market activity shows a 0.00% well-timed rate on five prior sells, meaning those prior sales were followed by stock appreciation rather than declines. The company's P/E of 198.48 is exceptionally elevated, while fundamentals show $1.4B in quarterly revenue with +9.5% annual growth but only $48.4M in net income, suggesting valuation is stretched relative to profitability.

CFO Robert F Probst sells 17,374 VTR shares at $65.22; stock now $64.15, down 7.2% in 30 days

Probst sold 17,374 shares at $65.22 on 2025-05-27, reducing holdings by -9.4% to 168,364 shares. VTR has declined 7.2% over 30 days and 7.3% over 90 days from the transaction date. At VTR specifically, Probst's prior two measurable sales (2024-08-08 and 2024-05-07) resulted in positive 90-day returns of +7.4% and +18.2% respectively—indicating prior sales at this ticker were poorly timed, as the stock rose after his exits. His cross-ticker track record shows 0% well-timed sell rate across 4 prior open-market sales with an average 90-day return of +12.8%, again indicating a pattern of selling before rallies. This current sale's timing relative to the ensuing price decline remains relevant context, though it is early in the outcome measurement window.

The stock has declined 6.6% over the past 30 days and currently trades at $64.12, roughly 9.0% below its 52-week high of $70.47. His prior two sales at VTR (2024-08-08 and 2024-05-07) generated positive 30-day and 90-day returns, indicating those sales preceded periods of stock appreciation rather than decline. No FLAGS are present in this filing, indicating these are discretionary open-market transactions rather than structured trading plan executions.

His prior sale at this ticker on 2024-05-07 was followed by positive returns (90-day return +18.2%), indicating that sale was poorly timed from an insider-timing perspective. The company reported $1.2B in latest quarterly revenue with 8.9% annual growth but remained unprofitable on a full-year basis, creating mixed fundamental signals at elevated valuations.
