On August 5 and 7, Executive Chairman Ernest S. Rady bought another $816,772 of American Assets Trust stock at prices ranging from $22.82 to $23.04 per share. The move extends a pattern of heavy insider accumulation—over the past 90 days, Rady and affiliates have deployed more than $10 million in open-market purchases, pushing his beneficial ownership above 37%. The buying follows the company's in-line Q2 results and affirmed guidance, and comes after a May governance change that raised his ownership limit to 21.9%. While this single purchase is modest relative to the company's $1.4 billion market cap, it reinforces the signal of strong insider conviction from the most senior executive and largest shareholder.
