Chief Marketing Officer Takeshi Numoto sold 4,500 shares of MSFT at $402.84 on 2026-06-10 ($1.8M); stock now -29.6% from 52-week high.

Takeshi Numoto sold 4,500 shares (8.7% of pre-transaction holdings) on 2026-06-10 at $402.84, reducing his position from 51,967 to 47,467 shares. The transaction occurs as MSFT trades $390.74, now -29.6% from its 52-week high of $555.45. Examining Numoto's timing history at MSFT specifically, 4 of his 5 prior sells at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day mark (post-sale declines), including his most recent sale on 2025-12-04 which saw a 90-day decline of -15.4%. His cross-ticker track record shows a 77.78% well-timed rate on 9 prior sells with average 90-day returns of -4.7%. The sale occurs against strong MSFT fundamentals: $82.9B quarterly revenue, $31.8B net income, 14.9% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 23.18, suggesting the transaction reflects portfolio allocation rather than fundamental deterioration.

Significance 5/10

EVP CMO Takeshi Numoto sold 2,500 MSFT shares at $412.45; stock now $397.36, down 28.5% from 52-week high.

Takeshi Numoto sold 2,500 shares (4.6% of his pre-transaction holdings) at $412.45, reducing his MSFT stake from 54,467 to 51,967 shares. The stock has declined -28.5% from its 52-week high of $555.45 and currently trades at $397.36, a -3.7% move over the past 30 days. Across his prior trades at MSFT specifically, Numoto has demonstrated a timing pattern: 4 of his 5 prior MSFT sells showed negative 90-day returns, indicating he has historically sold before subsequent declines. His cross-ticker track record shows a 77.78% well-timed rate on sells, suggesting a consistent ability to exit positions ahead of downward moves. Given the stock's current position -28.5% below its 52-week high and Numoto's established pattern of well-timed MSFT sales, this transaction fits a historical precedent of selling into weakness or before further decline.

Significance 4/10

MSFT: EVP Numoto sold 2,850 shares at $478.72 on 2025-12-04, reducing stake 4.9% to 55.8K shares post-transaction

Numoto Takeshi, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer, sold 2,850 shares of Microsoft at $478.72 on 2025-12-04, with a post-transaction holding of 55.8K shares. This represents a modest reduction of 4.9% from his pre-transaction position. Examining his prior trades at MSFT, four of his five previous sales showed negative 90-day returns, and his cross-ticker track record of eight prior sales achieved a 75.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark. The current price of $483.16 is 10.9% below the 52-week high and down 4.7% over 30 days, suggesting recent downward momentum. However, without a scheduled trading plan flag, this transaction cannot be classified as discretionary timing, and the modest share reduction—retaining 55.8K shares post-trade—indicates this is a moderate adjustment rather than a substantial portfolio shift.

Significance 6/10

MSFT CMO Numoto Takeshi sold 4,850 shares for $2,557,506.00; prior MSFT sales well-timed at 90-day mark (4 of 4)

Numoto Takeshi, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer, executed 2 separate sales totaling 4,850 (4.8K shares) for $2,557,506.00 at a blended average price of $527.32 on 2025-08-12, reducing holdings by 11.0% to 39,111 shares post-transaction. His prior transaction history at MSFT is notable: all 4 measurable prior sales resulted in negative 90-day returns (-2.2% to -12.1%), placing the timing pattern at 4 of 4 well-timed at the 90-day mark—a consistent signal of selling ahead of subsequent declines. The current stock price of $520.58 sits 2.8% below the 52-week high of $535.64, and while short-term momentum remains positive (+3.5% over 30 days, +14.9% over 90 days), the executive's demonstrated pattern of well-timed exits at this ticker merits tracking as the filing settles into post-transaction observation windows.

Numoto (MSFT CMO) sells 3,000 shares at $463.00; MSFT at $463.87, up 6.4% in 30 days, up 16.9% in 90 days.

Numoto Takeshi, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer, sold 3,000 shares of MSFT at $463.00 on 2025-06-03, reducing holdings by 6.4% to 43,929 shares, while the stock trades near 52-week highs at $463.87. Across his cross-ticker track record, his prior sells have averaged -5.7% at the 90-day mark with an 80.00% well-timed rate, indicating a pattern of selling before declines; however, at MSFT specifically, 4 of his 5 prior sells showed negative 90-day returns (-12.1%, -11.1%, -7.9%, -6.0%), with one exception (+8.5% on 2024-09-10). MSFT's recent momentum has been strong—the stock is up 6.4% over 30 days and up 16.9% over 90 days—placing the current transaction against a backdrop of sustained appreciation and a valuation of P/E 35.68 with $70.1B quarterly revenue and $25.8B net income.

Significance 4/10

MSFT CMO Numoto Takeshi sells 2,500 shares ($1.1M) at $447.41; 4th trade in 8 days, pattern raises questions about timing

Numoto Takeshi, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer, sold 2,500 shares of MSFT for $1,118,530.00 at $447.41 on 2024-12-09, reducing his holdings from 51,851 to 49,351 shares. This sale is the fourth MSFT trade in the past 8 days (additional sales on 2024-12-04, 2024-12-02, and 2024-11-27), with the prior measurable outcome on 2024-09-10 showing a +8.5% 90-day return—meaning the stock rose after that sale, making it poorly timed by the insider's own record. His cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed rate across 4 prior sells, with an average 90-day return of +8.5%, indicating consistent underperformance in timing sell decisions. The current price of $443.33 is -5.2% from the 52-week high of $467.56, yet within the broader uptrend (+4.9% over 30 days, +4.8% over 90 days), providing no obvious exit signal from valuation weakness. The cluster of four sales within a week warrants tracking of subsequent price action to assess whether this concentrated selling represents a material shift in insider sentiment or executable liquidity needs.

Significance 3/10

Numoto Takeshi (EVP, CMO) sold 2,000 MSFT shares at $437.32 on 2024-12-04 ($874.6K); 51.9K shares remain.

Numoto sold 2,000 shares representing a 3.7% reduction in his MSFT holdings, with the transaction value of $874.6K modest relative to his remaining 51.9K shares. The sale occurred at $437.32, below the current price of $442.62 and well below the 52-week high of $467.56, suggesting the insider did not exit near the peak. His prior three open-market sales across all tickers averaged a 1.2% 30-day return, and his same-ticker history shows two recent sales on 2024-12-02 and 2024-11-27 with outcomes not yet measurable, followed by a September 2024 sale that showed a modest 1.2% 30-day return. The sale is consistent with routine portfolio activity rather than a material reduction in conviction, given the relatively small share reduction and the insider's substantial remaining position.

Significance 4/10

MSFT CMO Numoto sells 3,500 shares in 2 transactions totaling $1,500,662.50; retains 53,851 shares post-sale.

Numoto Takeshi, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer, executed 2 separate sales on 2024-11-27 and 2024-12-02, selling 1,000 shares at $423.48 and 2,500 shares at $430.87, for a blended average price of $428.76 and total proceeds of $1,500,662.50. The transaction reduced his holdings by 6.1% from 57,351 to 53,851 shares, representing a modest pruning of a significant equity position rather than a broad exit. Microsoft's financial profile remains robust (annual revenue growth of +15.7%, net income of $24,667,000,000.00, and P/E of 35.41), and the stock has appreciated 5.0% over the prior 30 days and 5.3% over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows just 1 prior sale with an average 30-day return of +1.2%; at MSFT specifically, his prior sell on 2024-09-10 returned +1.2% over 30 days. Without a FLAG indicating a 10b5-1 plan, the absence of a strong historical timing pattern at this ticker and the modest scale of the sale (6.1% reduction) provides limited signal regarding near-term market direction.

Significance 3/10

MSFT CMO Numoto Takeshi sold 2,500 shares at $411.04 on 2024-09-10; retains 49,999 shares.

Numoto Takeshi, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer, sold 2,500 shares of MICROSOFT CORP (MSFT) at $411.04 for total value $1,027,607.50, reducing his holdings by 4.8% from 52,499 to 49,999 shares. The sale occurred when MSFT was trading $411.04, now at $423.04 current price—meaning the stock has risen 2.9% since the transaction date, placing the sale at -9.5% from the 52-week high of $467.56. The modest reduction in a large retained position against strong company fundamentals (Revenue $61.9B, Net income $21.9B, annual growth +15.7%, Market cap $3,144.5B) provides limited inference regarding executive conviction. A retained holding of 49,999 shares demonstrates continued material ownership alignment with shareholders.
