CSX CEO Stephen F. Angel purchases 25,000 shares at $40.27; holdings rise to 146,540 shares (+20.6%)

President & CEO Stephen F. Angel purchased 25,000 shares of CSX at $40.27 on 2026-03-06, increasing his total holdings to 146,540 shares from 121,540 shares (+20.6%). The transaction occurred near the upper end of the 52-week range ($26.69–$43.17), with the stock currently trading at $39.95, 7.5% below the 52-week high. His prior buy at this ticker on 2025-10-20 produced a 90-day return of -1.7%, and his cross-ticker buy history shows an average 90-day return of -7.9% with no gains recorded in prior buy attempts, suggesting limited timing accuracy. CSX fundamentals show revenue contraction of 3.1% year-over-year despite a market capitalization of $74.3B and a P/E of 31.96, raising questions about execution in a declining revenue environment.

CSX President & CEO ANGEL STEPHEN F bought 55,000 shares ($2.0M) on 2025-10-20, raising stake to 58.2K shares (+1700.7% from prior 3.2K)

ANGEL STEPHEN F purchased 55,000 shares at $36.87, a price within 3.1% of the 52-week high ($36.88) and notably above the current price of $35.73. The transaction represents a substantial increase in personal stake (net change: +1700.7% vs pre-transaction holdings), shifting the CEO from minimal ownership (3,234 shares) to meaningful ownership (58,234 shares post-transaction). The timing occurs in a 30-day period where CSX shares have risen 8.3%, though the company's annual revenue growth is flat (-0.8%), and the stock trades at a P/E of 22.90 against a market cap of $66.5B. While this constitutes a significant capital commitment ($2,027,850.00) by the CEO, the purchase at near-peak pricing and the absence of a well-developed same-ticker historical pattern limit ability to assess whether the timing reflects opportunistic entry or scheduled execution.

Director Stephen F Angel sold 50,309 shares of LIN at $473.38 for $23.8M, reducing holdings by 9.5%.

Director Stephen F Angel sold 50,309 shares of Linde PLC (LIN) at $473.38 on 2025-08-07, a discretionary open-market transaction totaling $23,815,274.42. His post-transaction holdings remain substantial at 480,542 shares. Examining his same-ticker history at LIN shows a mixed record: of 3 prior sells, 2 of 3 were followed by negative 90-day returns (well-timed at the 90-day mark). His cross-ticker track record demonstrates a 66.67% well-timed rate across 3 prior sells. The current stock price of $472.42 is -2.9% from the 52-week high of $486.45, positioned in the upper range of the 52-week band. While the sale represents a significant dollar amount, the retention of a 480.5K-share position alongside a historical pattern of moderately accurate sell timing provides limited directional conviction either way.
