Significance 7/10

CEO Sprecher sells 279,937 shares for $43.4M at $155.00; stock now $154.11, down 18.2% from 52-week high

Jeffrey C. Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., executed 2 separate sales totaling 279,937 shares for $43,389,339.20 on 2026-02-18, at a blended average price of $155.00. The sale reduced his holdings by 14.5% from 1,931,642 to 1,651,705 shares. At the time of sale, ICE was trading below its 52-week high of $188.45 (down 18.2%) and has declined a further 0.9% since the transaction to the current price of $154.11. Sprecher's cross-ticker track record shows 70.00% well-timed selling (20 prior sells with an 90-day average return of -8.8%), though his same-ticker history at ICE is mixed: 3 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, while the most recent pair in November 2025 generated small positive 30- and 90-day returns. The timing of this significant equity reduction occurs as the stock sits substantially below its recent peak, warranting investor examination of whether the sale reflects material outlook or portfolio-level considerations.

$22,962,584
Significance 7/10

CEO Sprecher sells 150,000 shares ($23.0M) in 2 transactions; holds 1.80M shares post-sale

Jeffrey C Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, executed 2 separate sales totaling 150,000 shares for $22,962,583.50 on 2025-11-19, reducing his holdings from 1.95M to 1.80M shares (-7.7%). The sales occurred at blended average price $153.08, just below the current price of $154.43 and materially above recent lows in the 52-week range. Notably, Sprecher's prior 5 trades at ICE were all well-timed at the 90-day mark, with all subsequent 90-day periods showing negative returns (ranging from -17.8% to -19.2%), and his cross-ticker track record shows a 70% well-timed sell rate across 20 prior open-market sales. This transaction pattern—substantial proportional reduction coupled with strong historical timing accuracy at this ticker—warrants investor attention to whether similar post-sale price deterioration will follow.

Significance 6/10

CEO Sprecher sells 216,575 shares for $39.7M across 10 transactions on 2025-08-12 at blended avg $183.09

The transaction occurred near the 52-week high ($188.45), with the current price at $182.68 reflecting a -3.1% position from peak. Sprecher's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sells with a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, and his prior ICE-specific sales on 2025-06-04 demonstrated mixed near-term performance (30d range: +2.1% to +2.5%) with one measurable 90d outcome of +4.5% following a -8.7% 30d return in March 2025. The company's fundamentals remain strong with $3.3B quarterly revenue, +18.8% annual growth, and a $104.6B market cap at a P/E of 34.80.

Significance 7/10

ICE CEO Sprecher sells 218,315 shares for $39.1M across 4 transactions on 2025-06-04 at blended average $179.23

CEO Jeffrey C Sprecher executed 4 separate sales totaling 218,315 shares for $39,128,594.40 at prices ranging from $178.60 to $179.40, reducing his holdings by 9.4% from 2.32M to 2.10M shares. The sales occurred near the 52-week high of $180.32 (-0.9% from peak), and his prior 5 sales at ICE all posted negative 30-day returns (ranging -7.8% to -8.7%), though with positive 90-day returns. His cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed rate across 20 prior open-market sells with an average 90-day return of +6.5%, suggesting his past sales have generally missed subsequent stock gains. The company trades at a P/E of 36.84 with strong fundamentals: $3.2B quarterly revenue and +18.8% annual growth, leaving no evident earnings or growth concerns underlying the transaction.

Significance 6/10

ICE CEO Sprecher sells 274,177 shares for $46.8M across 6 transactions on 2025-03-05

Jeffrey C Sprecher, Chief Executive Officer of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., executed 6 separate sales totaling 274,177 shares for $46,814,861.94 on 2025-03-05, reducing his holdings from 2,525,882 shares to 2,251,705 shares (-10.9% reduction). The transactions were distributed across multiple price points with a blended average price of $170.75, near the current price of $170.24. His same-ticker trade history at ICE shows 5 prior sells, none of which were well-timed at the 90-day mark (all showed positive 90d returns, meaning the stock rose after each sale). The scale and composition of this multi-tranche sale merits monitoring given the executive's position, though the magnitude represents a material but not extraordinary reduction of his holdings.

November 2024
Sell
150,000 shares
$23,409,185
Significance 6/10

CEO Sprecher sells 150,000 ICE shares for $23.4M at $156.06 avg; retains 2.40M shares post-sale

Jeffrey C Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, executed 2 separate sales totaling 150,000 shares for $23,409,184.83 on November 13, 2024, at a blended average price of $156.06. Post-transaction, Sprecher retains 2,401,705 shares, representing a -5.9% reduction in his holdings. His prior 5 trades at ICE (all sales in July 2024) generated positive 30- and 90-day returns averaging 8.4% and 12.4%, indicating those earlier exits were poorly timed relative to subsequent stock appreciation. The current price of $155.55 sits 6.8% below the 52-week high of $166.90 and down 5.8% over the past 30 days, placing this sale in a period of stock weakness. Against fundamentals showing $3.0B quarterly revenue, net income of $657.0M, and a P/E of 36.77, this significant disposal by the company's top executive warrants investor attention to understand motivation and forward expectations.

168,389 shares
$23,856,637
Significance 6/10

ICE CEO Jeffrey C Sprecher sold 168,389 shares for $23,856,637.25 on 2024-07-09

Sprecher, Intercontinental Exchange's Chief Executive Officer, executed 6 separate sales on 2024-07-09 totaling 168,389 shares (168.4K shares) for $23,856,637.25 ($23.9M) at prices ranging from $140.81 to $142.45, with a blended average price of $141.68. His post-transaction holdings remain substantial at 2,551,705 shares (2.55M shares), representing a -6.2% reduction from pre-transaction holdings of 2,720,094 shares. The current stock price is $144.41, moderately above the transaction prices. His prior trades at ICE show a timing pattern of 0 of 5 prior sells being well-timed at the 90-day mark, and his cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed rate across 20 prior sells, suggesting his historical sell signals have not preceded material declines. This transaction warrants monitoring given the CEO's residual substantial stake and the magnitude of the sale, though the lack of a clear adverse timing signal in the historical record provides limited forward-looking directional evidence.
