Costco Whsl Corp SEC Filings

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS) has received a Form 144 notice indicating that insider Phillip Carrai intends to sell up to 6,000 common shares on or about July 15, 2025 through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. Based on the filing’s reference price, the transaction is valued at approximately $308,503.20.

The shares, originally issued as restricted stock on January 4, 2022, represent roughly 0.004 % of the company’s 153,443,342 shares outstanding—an amount too small to affect float or liquidity. The filing also details insider sales over the previous three months: 6,000 shares on June 16, 2025 for $252,967.20 and 6,000 shares on May 15, 2025 for $202,356.00, bringing Carrai’s disclosed sales to 18,000 shares this quarter.

• Broker: Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, New York.
• Exchange: NASDAQ.
• Relationship to issuer: Not specified in the filing text.

Form 144 serves only as advance notice; the transaction has not yet occurred. Given the small size relative to total shares, the filing is unlikely to exert meaningful market pressure, but it offers insight into recent insider sentiment.

SEC Form 4 filing overview: On 07/14/2025 Toll Brothers, Inc. (TOL) director Christine Garvey reported the sale of 770 common shares at $119.8156 per share, coded “S” for disposition.

After the transaction, Garvey’s holdings stand at 11,590 shares held indirectly through a trust and 124 shares held indirectly through her spouse; no shares are shown as held directly. The filing, signed on 07/15/2025 by attorney-in-fact Michael J. Grubb, discloses no derivative security activity.

The trade, valued at roughly $92k, is a routine move by a non-executive director and is unlikely to have a material impact on Toll Brothers’ ownership structure or governance.

Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST) – Form 144 filing: An unidentified insider has filed notice of intent to dispose of 4,000 common shares through Fidelity Brokerage Services on or about 14 Jul 2025. The proposed sale is valued at $3.90 million (≈ $975 per share) based on the aggregate market value disclosed.

The shares stem from two tranches of restricted-stock vesting received from the issuer: 1,562 shares vested on 22 Oct 2022 and 2,438 shares vested on 15 Sep 2023. No sales have been reported by this insider in the past three months, and the filer affirms no knowledge of undisclosed adverse information.

Relative to Costco’s 443.48 million shares outstanding, the disposition represents roughly 0.001 % of total equity—an immaterial dilution risk. While insider selling can raise sentiment concerns, the modest size suggests portfolio diversification rather than a signal of operational weakness.

Worthington Steel, Inc. (WS) – Insider Form 4 filing (10 July 2025)

President of Flat Rolled Steel Processing, Clifford Larivey, reported two related equity transactions dated 8 July 2025:

• 4,521 common shares acquired (Transaction Code A) at $0.00, reflecting the vesting of a 2022 performance share award.
• 2,051 common shares disposed (Transaction Code F) at $31.75 per share; these shares were automatically withheld to cover tax obligations triggered by the vesting.

After the netted transactions, Larivey’s direct ownership stands at 70,484 common shares, indicating a net increase of approximately 2,470 shares versus the pre-vesting position. No derivative securities were involved, and the filing was signed by attorney-in-fact Joseph Y. Heuer.

Investor take-away: The activity stems from routine executive compensation rather than open-market buying or discretionary selling. While the executive retains additional equity, the event is largely administrative and is unlikely to materially impact valuation or trading sentiment.

Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST) – Form 4 Insider Transaction

Director Susan L. Decker reported two open-market sales of Costco common stock on 18 June 2025:

• 546 shares sold at $980.000 per share
• 1 share sold at $978.395 per share

Following the sales, Decker’s direct beneficial ownership declined from 11,531.936 to 11,530.936 shares, a reduction of roughly 0.005% of her holdings. No derivative transactions were reported and no Rule 10b5-1 trading plan box was checked.

The transaction size is small relative to both Decker’s remaining position and Costco’s 443 million shares outstanding, implying no material impact on the company’s capital structure or insider sentiment indicators.

Southern Company (SO) director David J. Grain filed a Form 4 covering activity on 07/01/2025.

• Deferred compensation grant: Grain received 839.6533 Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) at a reference price of $92.30 per unit under the company’s Deferred Compensation Plan.
• The award is payable only in stock upon termination; it carries no exercise or expiration date.
• After the grant, the director’s total derivative holdings rose to 80,724.3603 DSUs.
• Table I lists a line for 500 common shares marked “D” (disposed), but the form provides no price, code, or contextual detail, limiting insight into that movement.

The filing reflects routine director compensation rather than open-market buying or selling. No material change to share count, governance, or fundamentals is indicated.

Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST) – Form 144 filing overview

An affiliate of Costco has filed a Form 144 indicating an intent to sell 546 shares of common stock through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney on or about 18 June 2025. The proposed sale represents an aggregate market value of $535,080, implying a reference price of roughly $980 per share. The shares were originally acquired on 22 October 2024 as restricted stock. Form 144 requires the filer to affirm that no undisclosed material adverse information is known and that any sales will be executed in compliance with Rule 144 volume and manner-of-sale limitations.

The filing notes 443,477,086 shares outstanding, so the disposition equals approximately 0.00012 % of shares outstanding—well below any threshold considered material to Costco’s float or daily trading volume. The filer reports no other sales within the past three months.

Given the small size relative to Costco’s market capitalization and share count, the notice is generally considered routine, low-impact disclosure. It nonetheless signals that a related insider is monetising a minor portion of previously awarded equity.
