PRDO CEO Todd Nelson sold 84,387 shares for $3,029,583.55 in 3 tranches (3/23–3/25) at blended avg $35.90, reducing holding by -19.5%

Nelson Todd S, President and CEO, executed 3 separate sales totaling 84,387 shares for $3,029,583.55 over 3 consecutive trading days (March 23–25, 2026), reducing his post-transaction holdings to 347,981 shares from 432,368 shares pre-transaction. The stock currently trades at $37.86, a 52-week high, and has appreciated 19.1% over the past 30 days and 27.4% over 90 days. His prior sales at PRDO (December 2025) were all followed by further gains: 30-day returns of 6.0%–8.2% and 90-day returns of 17.9%–22.4%, indicating that his prior sells at this ticker were not well-timed, with 0 of 3 prior measurable sales followed by declines. The company reports strong fundamentals with revenue of $211,872,000.00, net income of $39,850,000.00, annual growth of 24.2%, and a P/E of 14.07. The timing of these sales near all-time highs, coupled with a pattern of his prior PRDO sales occurring during price run-ups, warrants observation of whether this represents a material shift in positioning or reflects liquidity management.

Significance 6/10

CEO Todd Nelson sells 51,346 shares in 2 transactions for $1,791,510.00 at blended avg $34.89

Nelson Todd S, President and CEO, executed two separate sales on consecutive days (2026-03-16 and 2026-03-17), totaling 51,346 shares for $1,791,510.00 and reducing his holdings by 10.6%. The transaction prices ($34.86 and $35.00) align closely with the current price of $35.11 and remain within the 52-week range of $24.21–$37.66. At PRDO, his track record shows mixed timing: 3 of 5 prior sales were followed by strong 90-day returns (+19.3%, +22.4%, +17.9%), while 2 were preceded or accompanied by declines (-16.2%, -15.9%), yielding a 40% well-timed rate at this ticker. The company's fundamentals show robust growth—annual revenue growth of +24.2%, a P/E of 13.05, and net income of $39,850,000.00 on quarterly revenue of $211,872,000.00. The timing of this sale relative to company fundamentals and future stock performance will clarify whether this represents portfolio management or a forward signal; the magnitude of the sale and the CEO's retained position of 432,368 shares warrant monitoring.

Significance 6/10

CEO Todd Nelson sells 120,000 PRDO shares for $3,522,000 at avg $29.35; stock now down 23.3% from 52-week high

NELSON TODD S, President and CEO, executed 3 separate sales totaling 120,000 shares for $3,522,000 over December 15–17, 2025, at prices ranging from $29.23 to $29.42. The transaction reduced his holdings by 22.9%, from 524,047 to 404,047 shares post-transaction. The sales occurred at a premium to the current price of $28.87, though the stock has declined 23.3% from its 52-week high of $37.66 and fallen 18.8% over the prior 90 days. At the same ticker, PRDO, this represents one of a series: his 5 prior sales at PRDO show 3 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark (negative returns following the sale), including two within the past month (September 2025) with -16.2% and -15.9% 90-day returns. The fundamental picture shows modest profitability (P/E 11.88, net income $39.8M on revenue $211.9M) but recent revenue contraction of 4.0% year-over-year. The concentration of his sales activity and the pattern of prior PRDO sales correlating with subsequent declines warrant investor attention to whether the CEO's recent selling reflects views on near-term momentum or valuation.

$4,180,800
Significance 5/10

PRDO CEO Nelson Todd S sold 120,000 shares ($4.2M) at $34.78–$35.17 over 3 days; stock at 52-week high post-sale.

CEO Nelson Todd S executed 3 separate sales totaling 120,000 shares for $4,180,800.00 at prices ranging from $34.78 to $35.17 over September 15–17, 2025, reducing his holdings by 18.6% to 524,047 shares. The sales occurred precisely at the 52-week high of $35.32, with the current price at +0.0% from peak. The timing coincides with strong near-term momentum (30-day +10.8%, 90-day +9.4%), yet his prior PRDO trades have consistently underperformed on a 90-day basis—all 5 prior same-ticker sales recorded positive 90-day returns, indicating the stock moved upward after each previous exit. This divergence between immediate execution near highs and a historical pattern of selling ahead of further gains warrants attention to whether this transaction reflects a shift in CEO positioning relative to the company's fundamentals or simply execution during a favorable price window.
