Analysis · UAL · Energy & Transportation
United Airlines President Brett Hart sold $3.6 million worth of shares on the open market at $120.72, just two weeks after the company raised guidance and the CEO filed to sell $18.8 million. While the sale represents only 0.024% of the company, it comes from a key insider and adds to a pattern of officer selling — the CEO's recent Form 144 and $6 million in prior sales already signaled distribution. The sale was not part of a 10b5-1 plan, giving it more weight as a discretionary move. Hart also exercised options and received a large grant, but the open-market sale is the primary signal.
