"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Sep 16, 2026Richard Schulze gave away 300K shares as a gift. That is 2.6% of the total stake held that day.

What stands out

Two officers sold $87.8M with no disclosed plan: Richard Schulze ($77.2M, 6.6% of holdings) and Kathleen Scarlett ($10.7M). The filings don't state a reason.Richard Schulze: largest such sale, Jun 26, 2026 · Kathleen Scarlett: largest such sale, Sep 23, 2026
A charitable foundation reported by Richard Schulze, not part of management, sold $27.8M of stock.Largest sale, Sep 16, 2026
Five officers sold shares but ended with larger stakes, because more shares came in than were sold: Corie Barry (sold 43K, 9.5% of starting holdings; 116K added), Matthew Bilunas (sold 11K, 20% of starting holdings; 32K added) and Jason Bonfig (sold 6.3K, 9.9% of starting holdings; 26K added), plus 2 more.Corie Barry: largest sale, Mar 23, 2026 · Matthew Bilunas: largest sale, Mar 23, 2026 · Jason Bonfig: largest sale, Mar 23, 2026

Percentages cover 18 of 20 officers and directors. Left out: Kathleen Scarlett (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Ashok Jadeja (held no vested shares at the start). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is 100% of that person's own stake; not comparable between people. The stake is the vested shares held at the start of the period (Oct 9, 2025); the gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the Best Buy CEO selling stock?

Yes. Corie Barry sold 43K shares ($2.7M, 9.5% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, none of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Best Buy insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 68% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings, 2% were to cover taxes and 30% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Best Buy insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did Best Buy insiders sell?

About 22% overall. As a group they still hold 78% of their starting shares. That covers the 12 months to Oct 9, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

20 of 20 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (0 exactly, 20 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 18 of 20 officers and directors. Left out: Kathleen Scarlett (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Ashok Jadeja (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$294M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $294M across 3,630,436 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($92.9M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $88.0M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $77.2M of it is Richard Schulze. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Richard Schulze, Jun 26, 2026

Taxes

$4.9M of sales (1.7%) cite tax obligations in their footnotes. Separately, 417 shares ($0) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale. Example: Mathew Watson, Mar 23, 2026

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Sources and methodology1,912 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,912 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Best Buy (SEC CIK 764478) from Oct 24, 2002 to Sep 24, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 3 filings were left out because Best Buy filed them as an owner of another company's stock. 71 older filings exist only on paper and could not be read.

Probable 3-for-2 stock split on or before Jul 25, 2005 (first filing that shows post-split balances). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 15 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
