Altimmune, Pure Storage, Globalstar, Cipher Mining, AutoZone Shake-Up

Insiders have been trading these 5 stocks: ((ALT)), ((PSTG)), ((GSAT)), ((CIFR)) and ((AZO)). Here is a breakdown of their recent trades and their value.

Altimmune is drawing attention after two of its directors made sizable open-market purchases, signaling confidence in the company’s future. Director Jerome Benedict Durso bought 12,500 shares of Altimmune stock in a transaction worth $51,500, while Director John Gill matched the volume with his own purchase of 12,500 shares, valued at $51,250. Together, these insider buys total 25,000 shares and $102,750, a meaningful vote of confidence that investors often interpret as a bullish signal on Altimmune’s prospects.

Pure Storage, by contrast, saw insider selling as Chief Product Officer Ajay Singh cashed out a significant portion of his holdings. Singh sold 14,216 shares of Pure Storage stock in a transaction worth $968,467, nearly hitting the million-dollar mark. Such a large sale can raise questions about whether management believes the stock is fully valued in the near term, though insiders may also sell for personal financial planning reasons that are unrelated to the company’s operational outlook.

Globalstar reported a pair of nearly identical insider sales involving two senior executives. General Counsel Barbee Ponder sold 420 shares of Globalstar stock for proceeds of $26,464, and VP & CFO Rebecca Clary mirrored that move by selling 420 shares as well, also worth $26,464. While the number of shares is relatively modest, the matched transactions by two key leaders may prompt investors to take a closer look at Globalstar’s valuation, governance, and upcoming catalysts.

Cipher Mining has seen heavier insider selling activity, with two directors reducing their stakes in sizeable transactions. Director Wesley Hastie Williams sold 49,867 shares of Cipher Mining stock, realizing proceeds of $801,861, while Director James Newsome sold 21,821 shares in a deal worth $349,790. These combined insider sales of 71,688 shares and more than $1.15 million suggest that some early backers may be locking in gains after a period of strong performance or volatility in the crypto-mining space.

AutoZone, on the other hand, has been the site of a high‑value insider buy, despite the relatively small number of shares involved. Director Michael A. George purchased 145 shares of AutoZone stock, but the dollar amount tells the real story: the transaction is worth $492,728, underscoring just how expensive AutoZone’s stock has become on a per‑share basis. Such a substantial monetary commitment from a director can be interpreted as a strong show of faith in AutoZone’s long‑term earnings power and resilience in the auto parts retail market.
