Hanneke Smits sold 16,474 shares on 2024-10-15 at $76.47, reducing her holdings by 9.5% to 157,455 shares. The sale totaled $1,259,868.79 at a price near the company's 52-week high of $77.75 (within $1.28 of the peak). At BK specifically, her prior two sales on 2024-07-18 and 2024-01-16 showed mixed 90-day outcomes (+20.6% and -0.1% respectively), with a 50% well-timed rate at the cross-ticker level. Bank of New York Mellon's fundamentals remain solid with $2.9B quarterly revenue (+6.9% annual growth), $1.2B net income, and a P/E of 16.68. The timing of this sale near the 52-week high, combined with the stock's recent 9.8% 30-day and 24.0% 90-day appreciation, warrants observation alongside her historical trading pattern at this security.

Smits Hanneke sells 15,000 BK shares at $64.11; stock now $62.69, down 4.6% from 52-week high

Smits Hanneke, Sr. Exec. Vice President of Bank of New York Mellon Corp, sold 15,000 shares on 2024-07-18 at $64.11, reducing holdings from 188.9K to 173.9K shares (-7.9%). The sale occurred near the 52-week high ($65.71); the stock has since retreated to $62.69 and is now down 4.6% from its peak. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sale with a 100.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, and his single prior trade at BK (a sell on 2024-01-16) also demonstrated favorable 90-day timing. The timing alignment here—selling into strength near annual highs—is consistent with his historical pattern, though the broader context of the stock's recent 30-day gain (+6.8%) and 90-day gain (+11.4%) suggests the executive disposed of shares following a meaningful rally rather than during a period of weakness.
