South Thomas A sells 5,000 shares of NTRS at $139.03; retains 71.8K shares post-transaction
Thomas A. South, Executive Vice President, sold 5,000 shares (5.0K shares) of NORTHERN TRUST CORP at $139.03 on 2025-12-11 for a total value of $695,150.00. This represents a 6.5% reduction from his pre-transaction holdings of 76.8K shares, leaving him with 71.8K shares. At the time of sale, the stock was trading near its 52-week high of $140.09 (the transaction price was -0.3% from that peak), and the stock has appreciated 9.6% in the 30 days preceding this filing and 8.0% over 90 days. His prior sale at NTRS on 2024-11-07 saw positive 90-day returns of 7.0%, indicating that historical sell was not well-timed (the stock rose after the sale). The company itself shows solid fundamentals with annual revenue growth of +22.4%, a P/E of 15.29, and net income of $457.6M on $2.0B in quarterly revenue. The timing of this sale near the 52-week high, combined with the stock's strong recent momentum and his prior underperformance at timing exits at this ticker, suggests this may represent a deliberate exit near strength rather than a signal of material concern about the business.
