GEVGE Vernova Inc. · Insider ownership research

GE Vernova Inc. insiders sold $11.5M in the past 12 months. How much of their stake is that?

Insiders sold $11.5M, 0% under disclosed plans. Their starting stakes can't be measured from the filings because most of the sellers' shares vested during the period.

No officer or director trades were reported for the past 30 days. The most recent before that:

Jun 1, 2026Victor Abate sold 4.8K shares ($4.6M) with no plan disclosed. That is 72% of the total stake held that day.

"% 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.

What stands out

Three officers sold $11.5M with no disclosed plan: Victor Abate ($4.6M), Steven Baert ($4.5M) and Matthew Potvin ($2.5M). The filings don't state a reason.Victor Abate: largest such sale, Jun 1, 2026 · Steven Baert: largest such sale, Mar 3, 2026 · Matthew Potvin: largest such sale, May 14, 2026
Tax withholding outweighed market sales: the company withheld $105M of officers' and directors' shares for taxes, against $11.5M sold on the open market. The largest was Scott Strazik ($63.5M withheld).Largest withholding, Mar 1, 2026

Percentages cover 12 of 18 officers and directors. 6 are left out

i
Left out: Steven Baert, Victor Abate and Matthew Potvin (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Maria Zingoni, Lola Lin and Eric Gray (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 the insider's vested stake at the start of the period (Oct 8, 2025). The gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the GE Vernova Inc. CEO selling stock?

No. Scott Strazik reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are GE Vernova Inc. insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 0% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 100% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any GE Vernova Inc. insiders buying?

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

Estimate: options held × ($948.08 − strike price), using the most recent insider trade price on Form 4 (Jun 1, 2026), not a market close.

18 of 18 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (17 exactly, 1 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 12 of 18 officers and directors. Left out: Steven Baert, Victor Abate and Matthew Potvin (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Maria Zingoni, Lola Lin and Eric Gray (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$11.5M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $11.5M across 12,452 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

No plan disclosed · $11.5M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $4.6M of it is Victor Abate. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Victor Abate, Jun 1, 2026

Taxes

115,991 shares ($105M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

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.

Known gaps and uncertaintyEvery officer and director reconciles

Every officer and director reconciles for this period.

Scott Strazik: minor difference of -29 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology120 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 120 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for GE Vernova Inc. (SEC CIK 1996810) from Mar 8, 2024 to Jun 3, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

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".
