Snap, Rivian, Occidental, Rocket Lab, MercadoLibre Insider Shake-Up

Insiders have been trading these 5 stocks: ((SNAP)), ((RIVN)), ((OXY)), ((RKLB)) and ((MELI)). Here is a breakdown of their recent trades and their value.

Snap saw a flurry of insider activity as multiple top executives reduced their holdings, with three notable sales drawing attention. CAO Rebecca Morrow sold 3,090 shares of Snap stock in a transaction worth $22,278, signaling a modest trim to her position. CFO Derek Andersen executed a much larger sale, offloading 34,535 shares for a total value of $248,997, which stands out as a significant cash realization from the stock. Adding to the wave of selling, CBO Ajit Mohan disposed of 28,137 shares, generating proceeds of $202,867. Together, these insider transactions at Snap highlight a combined sale of 65,762 shares, worth $474,142, and may prompt investors to consider what this cluster of executive moves suggests about sentiment within the company.

Rivian Automotive also recorded insider selling, with Director Peter Krawiec trimming his stake in the electric-vehicle maker. Krawiec sold 3,655 shares of Rivian Automotive stock, for a total transaction value of $71,053. While the sale is relatively small compared with some larger insider moves seen elsewhere in the market, it still provides a data point on how company insiders are managing their personal exposure to Rivian’s share price. Investors often watch director transactions such as this 3,655-share, $71,053 sale as part of their broader assessment of confidence in Rivian’s long-term growth trajectory and capital-intensive business model.

Occidental Petroleum, by contrast, saw insider buying rather than selling, an action many investors interpret as a positive signal. Director William Klesse stepped in as a buyer, purchasing 5,000 shares of Occidental Petroleum stock. This acquisition, valued at $194,900, represents a meaningful personal investment and aligns the director’s financial interests more closely with those of other shareholders. The 5,000-share, $194,900 purchase suggests that Klesse sees value at current price levels, and such insider buying at Occidental Petroleum can be particularly noteworthy in the context of an energy sector often influenced by commodity price volatility and shifting macroeconomic conditions.

Rocket Lab USA reported a sizable insider sale that may catch the eye of investors focused on the space and launch-services sector. Director Merline Saintil sold 15,000 shares of Rocket Lab USA stock, a transaction worth $975,000. The nearly seven-figure sale underscores that Saintil is realizing a substantial amount of capital from her stake, and the 15,000-share divestment is large enough to warrant attention in insider transaction logs. While insider selling does not automatically signal a negative outlook—executives and directors sell for many personal reasons—the $975,000 move at Rocket Lab USA will likely be tracked by market watchers as they weigh the company’s long-term potential in space infrastructure and launch services against insider trading patterns.

MercadoLibre, Latin America’s e-commerce and fintech giant, also saw notable insider selling activity from a member of its board. Director Henrique Vasoncelos Dubugras sold 845 shares of MercadoLibre stock, but despite the relatively modest share count, the transaction was extremely valuable, totaling $1,713,778. This underscores the high per-share price of MercadoLibre, where even an 845-share sale can yield over $1.7 million in proceeds. The sale may be interpreted in various ways, but for investors tracking insider behavior, this $1,713,778 transaction serves as a reminder of how richly valued MercadoLibre remains in the market and how directors manage their exposure to one of the region’s most prominent growth stories.
