📄 Summary

CHING MEREDITH J, Exec. VP, External Affairs at Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (ALEX), sold 700 shares on October 10, 2025, at an average price of $16.76, realizing proceeds of about ~$11,728.57. After the transaction, she now holds 146,849 direct shares and 994.571 indirect shares (213 by spouse; 781.571 by TCESOP). For retail traders, this is a neutral event: Planned 10b5-1 sale; small size relative to holdings.

🔑 Interpretation

  • Type: Planned (10b5-1 trading plan) — pre-arranged sale rather than ad-hoc discretionary trade
  • Disposition: Shares were sold (disposed) as executed under the 10b5-1 plan
  • Size Context: The sale of 700 shares is tiny relative to her direct holdings (700 is ~0.48% of 146,849 direct shares) and looks like routine profit-taking rather than a large divestiture
  • ATH Metric: The trade executed at ~ $16.75. Using that recent price as a reference, this is not near an obvious all-time high or low in typical historical ranges and does not appear opportunistic relative to ATH/ATL — timing appears routine under a standing plan
  • Outlier Check: Not unusually large compared to her reported holdings; no indication this is an outlier trade

📊 Bullish or Bearish?

Decide: Neutral

Neutral. The filing shows a small net sale executed under a 10b5-1 plan (code S) and the insider retains the vast majority of her shares; this reads as routine, pre-planned liquidity rather than a negative signal. Cluster activity cannot be determined from this filing alone.

✅ Bottom Line (Retail Takeaway)

This transaction looks like routine profit-taking under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan rather than a bearish signal. For retail traders, it’s noise — not a tradeable event on its own and not worth short-/mid-term action unless corroborated by multiple insiders or senior officers.
