GOOGLAlphabet Inc. · Insider ownership research

Alphabet Inc. insiders sold $141M in the past 12 months. How much of their stake is that?

Less than 0.1% overall. As a group they still hold 99% of their starting shares. The biggest individual seller, Sundar Pichai, sold shares equal to 10% of starting holdings, but more vested, so the stake grew.

"% 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.

Is this normal? Less than usual: about one-twentieth of the 5-year average. 6 insiders sold; the average is 9 a year. Year by year

What stands out

Amie O'Toole sold 29% of vested holdings: 13K shares for $3.7M, all under a disclosed plan.Largest sale, Dec 15, 2025
Tax withholding outweighed market sales: the company withheld $295M of officers' and directors' shares for taxes, against $141M sold on the open market. The largest was Sundar Pichai ($226M withheld).Largest withholding, Feb 6, 2026
Two insiders sold shares but ended with larger stakes, because more shares came in than were sold: Sundar Pichai (sold 358K, 10% of starting holdings; 1.42M added) and Frances Arnold (sold 1.2K, 6.9% of starting holdings; 3K added).Sundar Pichai: largest sale, Mar 4, 2026 · Frances Arnold: largest sale, Jun 30, 2026

Percentages cover 10 of 15 officers and directors. 5 are left out

Left out: John Doerr, John Hennessy, Marsida Saraci and Martin Chavez (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); John Walker (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead).
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 Alphabet Inc. CEO selling stock?

Yes. Sundar Pichai sold 358K shares ($109M, 10% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Alphabet Inc. insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 100% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Alphabet Inc. insiders buying?

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

How much of their stake did Alphabet Inc. insiders sell?

Less than 0.1% overall. As a group they still hold 99% of their starting shares. The biggest individual seller, Sundar Pichai, sold shares equal to 10% of starting holdings, but more vested, so the stake grew. That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

11 of 15 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (3 exactly, 8 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 4 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on their rows explains why. Percentages cover 10 of 15 officers and directors. Left out: John Doerr, John Hennessy, Marsida Saraci and Martin Chavez (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); John Walker (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

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 methodology1,811 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,811 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Alphabet Inc. (SEC CIK 1652044) from Oct 8, 2015 to Oct 2, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 104 filings were left out because Alphabet Inc. filed them as an owner of another company's stock.

Probable 20-for-1 stock split on or before Jul 15, 2022 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 24 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".
