Significance 4/10

Boyd (Director) sold 30,000 shares at $84.84 for $2.5M; retains 1.93M shares post-sale.

Director William R. Boyd sold 30,000 shares of BYD at $84.84 on 2026-02-18, reducing holdings by 1.5% to 1,930,447 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $89.56 (current price $85.06 is -5.0% from that peak). Across his same-ticker history at BYD, only 1 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, and the most recent sale on 2025-11-07 saw the stock gain 0.6% in 30 days and 4.1% in 90 days—poorly timed outcomes. This pattern of mixed execution on timing—combined with the director retaining substantial holdings (1.93M shares) even post-sale—suggests routine portfolio activity rather than a high-conviction directional signal.

Significance 5/10

Director William R. Boyd sold 20,000 BYD shares at $80.36; cross-ticker timing track record shows 50.00% well-timed rate on 10 prior sells.

William R. Boyd, a director of Boyd Gaming, sold 20,000 shares on 2025-11-07 at $80.36, reducing his holdings from 1,980,447 to 1,960,447 shares. The sale occurred when BYD was trading 7.4% below its 52-week high of $87.38 and down 1.5% over 30 days. Across his cross-ticker insider trading history, Boyd's 10 prior open-market sells show a 50.00% well-timed rate (measured by negative 90-day returns), with an average 90-day return of +0.6%—meaning his sales historically have not consistently preceded declines. At this specific ticker, BYD, his prior 5 trades were 2 of 5 well-timed at the 90-day mark (40% rate), with mixed outcomes; notably, three of five recent sales at BYD were followed by strong 90-day gains (+22.0%, +24.7%, and +7.7%), suggesting his recent sells at this ticker have been poorly timed. Fundamentally, Boyd Gaming shows a low P/E of 3.37, $1.0B quarterly revenue, and +5.1% annual growth, which may complicate any narrative around deteriorating conviction.

Significance 5/10

Director William Boyd sells 100,000 BYD shares for $6,958,561.60 in two trades, reducing stake to 1,680,447 shares.

Director William Boyd executed two separate sales totaling 100,000 shares for $6,958,561.60 on May 1–2, 2025, reducing his holding from 1,780,447 to 1,680,447 shares (a 5.6% reduction). The blended average price of $69.59 is modestly below the current price of $70.08, and within Boyd Gaming's 52-week range ($50.36–$79.52). Among Boyd's prior sales at BYD, his timing outcomes are mixed: 2 of 4 measurable sales were well-timed (negative 90-day returns), while 2 were poorly timed (positive 90-day returns). His cross-ticker track record shows a 60.00% well-timed rate on 6 prior sells, with an average 90-day return of -7.0%, suggesting modest historical accuracy in sell timing. The company's fundamentals remain sound—revenue of $991,565,000.00, net income of $111,419,000.00, and a P/E of 10.32—providing no obvious distress signal. This sale is material in dollar terms but represents a routine portfolio adjustment by a director with substantial remaining ownership (1.68M shares).

$1,189,800
Significance 5/10

Director William R Boyd sold 15,000 BYD shares at $79.32; stock at 52-week high. Mixed prior timing record at this ticker.

Director William R Boyd sold 15,000 shares of Boyd Gaming for $1,189,800.00 on 2025-02-19 at $79.32, reducing holdings by -1.0% to 1,472,970 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $79.52, with the stock up 4.3% over 30 days and 9.8% over 90 days. At this specific ticker, Boyd's prior 5 trades show a mixed timing pattern: 3 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, but recent October 2024 sells preceded gains (+6.5% and +4.1% at 30 days), suggesting recent sales have been poorly timed. The company shows solid fundamentals with net income of $131,128,000.00 and a P/E of 14.03. This sale is a modest portfolio adjustment by a long-term holder rather than a high-conviction exit, but the concentration of sales near all-time highs and mixed recent outcomes merit monitoring.

Significance 6/10

The blended average price of $70.56 represents execution near the 52-week high of $71.65, within a context where the stock is +7.2% over 30 days and +24.2% over 90 days. His post-transaction holdings of 1,487,970 shares represent a -6.3% reduction from the prior 1,587,970 shares. Boyd's same-ticker history at BYD shows 3 prior sells, all of which exhibited negative 90-day returns (-21.4%, -16.3%, -16.6%), a timing pattern of 100% well-timed outcomes at the 90-day mark. This current sale occurs at a price point notably elevated from the current market price of $68.66, and the stock's recent 24.2% gain provides context for evaluating the transaction's positioning relative to recent momentum.
