Controller Richard C Cary sells 3,000 AJG shares for $618,000 at $206.00; stock down -41.4% from 52-week high

Richard C Cary, Controller and CAO, sold 3,000 shares of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. at $206.00, reducing his holdings from 50,819 shares to 47,819 shares. The transaction occurs with AJG trading at $205.77, down -41.4% from its 52-week high of $351.22, despite the company reporting strong fundamentals: annual revenue growth of +20.7%, quarterly revenue of $4,758,000,000.00, and a P/E of 32.82. Cary's prior sales at AJG show mixed timing outcomes: 3 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark (with negative subsequent returns), while 2 posted positive 90-day returns, suggesting his recent transaction activity at this ticker lacks a clear directional pattern as a group.

AJG Controller sells 6,000 shares at $261.00; stock now -29.1% from 52-week high, down -18.4% over 90 days

Cary Richard C sold 6,000 shares (6.0K shares) at $261.00 on 2025-11-18, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 50.7K shares from 56.7K shares. The sale occurs as AJG stock is down significantly: -29.1% from the 52-week high of $348.77 and -18.4% over the past 90 days. The timing merits attention: this insider's 5 prior trades at AJG show mixed results, with 2 of 5 prior sells proving well-timed at the 90-day mark, though the two most recent sells on 2025-08-21 and 2025-05-07 were followed by steep declines (-18.7% and -15.8% over 90 days, respectively). Fundamentally, AJG trades at a P/E of 39.63 against $3.4B in latest-quarter revenue and +14.7% annual revenue growth, but the recent price weakness suggests market sentiment has shifted despite solid earnings ($272.7M net income).
