 Who Bought $5 Million of Their Own Company's Stock This Week? Analysis of insider transactions for May 7-8, 2026. Data from OpenInsider. **Key Signal: Upstart Holdings (UPST)** Dave Girouard — CEO and founder of Upstart — bought 170,240 shares at $29.37 for a total of $5 million. His stake is now 10.9 million shares. This is not options, not a bonus — a real purchase with his own money. Upstart (AI lending) trades around $29 — ~85% below its all-time highs ($400+). When a CEO buys $5 million at such a bottom — it's a loud signal. Pool Corp (POOL) — Three Directors Buy Simultaneously Three independent directors bought shares on the same day: • Manuel Perez De La Mesa — $1.9 million at $190 • John Stokely — $193K at $193 • James Hope — $90K at $194 Coincidence? No. Pool Corp is a distributor of pool equipment. The US construction season is starting, and insiders are betting on growth. Who Was Selling? • Viavi Solutions (VIAV) — CEO dumped $13.4 million • Sea Ltd (SE) — COO sold $1.78 million • Nebius Group (NBIS) — Director sold $2 million My Take: A CEO buying $5 million at these prices is not 'market timing' — it's confidence in their product. Upstart is an AI company in fintech, and if the CEO believes — it's worth a look. Not investment advice. Always do your own analysis. #insiders #UPST #POOL #investing #analysis
