Kirsten Spears, CFO & Chief Accounting Officer, executed 18 separate sales totaling 60,154 shares for $19,452,715.82 on 2026-03-16 and 2026-03-17, reducing her position by 15.5% and leaving 327,760 shares. The blended average price was $323.38, while the current price is $315.93—a decline of 2.8% in the past 30 days and 4.2% in the past 90 days. Within her same-ticker history at AVGO, three prior sales on 2025-12-17 all showed negative 90-day returns (-4.0%, -6.9%, -3.1%), establishing a 100% well-timed rate at this ticker. Her cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00%, indicating consistent execution timing on her sales across holdings. The scale of this liquidation—60.2K shares transacted—paired with her demonstrated timing pattern, merits close attention to post-sale price trajectory and any forward guidance shifts.

Significance 5/10

CFO Spears sells 30,000 AVGO shares at $347.82 blended average; stock down -12.0% in 30 days from $343.42 current

Kirsten M. Spears, CFO & Chief Accounting Officer of Broadcom Inc., executed 2 separate sales totaling 30,000 shares (30.0K shares) for $10,434,602.77 ($10.4M) at a blended average price of $347.82 on 2025-12-31, reducing her holdings from 307,237 to 277,237 shares (-9.8% vs pre-transaction holdings). The sale occurred after AVGO's stock had already declined -12.0% over the prior 30 days and is currently trading at $343.42, -16.8% from its 52-week high of $412.97. Broadcom's fundamentals remain solid with annual revenue growth of +23.9%, net income of $4.1B, and a market cap of $1,628.2B, though the elevated P/E of 45.01 reflects stretched valuation. Prior 5 trades at AVGO by this insider on 2025-12-17 have not yet reached measurable 90-day outcomes, limiting ability to assess her historical timing accuracy at this specific ticker.

$2,028,440
Significance 6/10

CFO Kirsten Spears sold 6,093 shares across 25 transactions for $2,028,439.85 at blended avg $332.91

Kirsten Spears, CFO & Chief Accounting Officer of Broadcom, executed 25 separate sales totaling 6,093 shares over two trading days (December 16-17, 2025) for $2,028,439.85, reducing her holdings from 313,330 to 307,237 shares (-1.9%). The multi-tranche execution pattern across a two-day window with prices ranging from $322.58 to $345.80 is consistent with a systematic liquidation. At the time of sale, AVGO was trading near $329.88 current price and down 20.1% from its 52-week high of $412.97, placing the transaction in a period of stock weakness. The insider's cross-ticker track record shows a 95.00% well-timed sell rate (90-day outcomes) and her five prior sales at AVGO all demonstrated negative 90-day returns, indicating consistent pattern execution at this ticker. The company's fundamentals remain solid (revenue $16.0B, net income $4.1B, +23.9% annual revenue growth, market cap $1,564.1B), so the sale appears disconnected from fundamental deterioration.

Significance 5/10

CFO Kirsten Spears sold 12,319 shares of Broadcom (AVGO) for $4,344,180.50 across 19 transactions on Sept 16-17, reducing holdings 3.8%

Spears completed 19 separate sales totaling 12,319 shares for $4,344,180.50 at a blended average price of $352.64, executed over two days at prices ranging from $343.68 to $363.63. The current price of $345.35 sits 6.6% below the 52-week high of $369.57, and the stock has risen 17.1% over the past 30 days and 38.2% over 90 days. Examining her same-ticker history at Broadcom, three of her four prior measurable sells showed well-timed outcomes at the 90-day mark (30-day returns of +12.6%, +3.4%, and negative returns of -90.5% and -88.3% at 90 days), suggesting modest pattern consistency. The sale reduces her holdings from 325,649 shares to 313,330 shares—a modest 3.8% reduction—indicating she retains substantial position exposure even after this exit.

Significance 7/10

CFO Spears sold 36,350 AVGO shares at $261.27 for $9.5M on 2025-06-24; stock now at $270.17. Her 5 prior AVGO sales all declined within 90 days.

Kirsten Spears, CFO & Chief Accounting Officer, sold 36.4K shares (10.0% of pre-transaction holdings) at $261.27 for $9.5M, just six days after a prior sale on 2025-06-18. At her same ticker, AVGO, across 5 prior distinct sales—dating to 2023-12-18—she achieved a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00%, with all four measurable outcomes showing negative 90-day returns (ranging from -17.0% to -89.2%). Her cross-ticker track record across all tickers also shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00% with an average 90-day return of -70.2%. This transaction, occurring as the stock trades at its 52-week high ($270.17, +0.0% from high), adds to a consistent pattern of sales positioned ahead of declines. The current environment—60.7B market cap, 212.73 P/E ratio, and 59.8% 90-day appreciation—does not negate the historical reliability of this insider's exit timing at this ticker.

Significance 7/10

AVGO CFO Spears sold 56,310 shares at $251.75 (June 18); 4 of 4 prior AVGO sales fell within 90 days

CFO Kirsten M. Spears sold 56,310 shares of Broadcom at $251.75 on June 18, 2025, reducing her holdings by 13.5% to 361,937 shares, with a transaction value of $14,175,986.19. Her track record at Broadcom is notable: all 4 prior sales at this ticker exhibited negative 90-day returns, with a 100% well-timed rate—each occurred before subsequent declines (ranging from -17.0% to -90.5% over 90 days). The current sale occurs as AVGO trades at $253.77, a price near its 52-week high of $261.08 but up 34.8% over 90 days from this June 18 sale point, suggesting the stock has continued to climb post-transaction. Cross-ticker, her broader sales history also shows a 100% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of -70.2%, indicating a consistent pattern of selling ahead of declines. This timing pattern warrants investor scrutiny of the company's near-term fundamentals and forward guidance.

Sell
12,570 shares
$2,886,323
Significance 7/10

CFO Kirsten Spears sold 12,570 shares of AVGO at $229.62 (Dec 20); 3 of 3 prior AVGO sales showed 90d declines averaging -87.9%.

CFO Kirsten M. Spears sold 12,570 shares at $229.62 on 2024-12-20, reducing holdings from 338.0K to 325.4K shares (−3.7%). This transaction occurs as AVGO trades at $245.36, within 1.9% of its 52-week high of $250.00, following a 48.9% 30-day rally. Critically, Spears' prior same-ticker trade history at AVGO shows a stark pattern: all 3 prior sales (Dec 2023, Jan 2024, Apr 2024) were followed by 90-day declines ranging from −87.1% to −89.2%, with a 100% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark. This consistent pattern of selling into strength before subsequent weakness merits attention, though the current stock price at a near-52-week high and the elevated P/E of 193.20 amid a net income loss of $-1.9B in the latest quarter add context to the valuation environment.
