"% 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

Two insiders sold more than 25% of vested holdings: Herve Hoppenot (36% of holdings, $19.8M, all under a disclosed plan) and Michael Morrissey (68% of holdings, $5.7M, all under a disclosed plan).Herve Hoppenot: largest sale, Nov 10, 2025 · Michael Morrissey: largest sale, Dec 16, 2025
Lee Heeson sold 3.1K shares (9.5% of starting holdings), but 8.9K more vested, so the stake grew (from 32K to 38K).Largest sale, Nov 3, 2025

Percentages cover 18 of 26 officers and directors. 8 are left out

i
Left out: Pablo Cagnoni, Steven Stein, Thomas Tray and Matteo Trotta (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Patrick Mayes and Paul Clancy (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Richard Hoffman and Suketu Upadhyay (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.

Details

Common questions

Is the Incyte CEO selling stock?

No. William Meury reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are Incyte 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 Incyte insiders buying?

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

How much of their stake did Incyte insiders sell?

About 22% overall. As a group they still hold 93% 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.

22 of 26 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (22 exactly, 0 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 4 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on their rows explains why. Percentages cover 18 of 26 officers and directors. Left out: Pablo Cagnoni, Steven Stein, Thomas Tray and Matteo Trotta (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Patrick Mayes and Paul Clancy (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Richard Hoffman and Suketu Upadhyay (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$58.0M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $58.0M across 542,806 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

Taxes

144,207 shares ($15.3M) 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 uncertainty4 insiders whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

Pablo Cagnoni: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of -27,892 shares). Balance changed without a matching transaction, and the footnote does not state the amount: -27,892 shares on May 6, 2026 (Direct). Filing, May 6, 2026

Footnote: "Represents the shares of common stock underlying performance shares earned upon the achievement of performance criteria determined to be satisfied on May 6, 2026.

Footnote: "This includes an aggregate of 15,166 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to previously reported restricted stock units that have not vested."

Matteo Trotta: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of 403 shares). Balance changed without a matching transaction, and the footnote does not state the amount: +403 shares on Mar 25, 2026 (Direct). Filing, Mar 25, 2026

Footnote: "Represents shares withheld automatically by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligations due at settlement of restricted stock units previously reported in Table I as common stock. | This includes an aggregate of 11,160 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to previously reported restricted stock units that have not vested."

Inferred rename: "Through Partnership" is treated as the same holder as "14159, L.P", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (355,839 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "are entitled to an indirect proportionate pecuniary interest in the securities issued in lieu of director fees. 667, L.P" is treated as the same holder as "are entitled to an indirect proportionate pecuniary interest in the securities. 667, L.P", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (4,407,691 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "are entitled to an indirect proportionate pecuniary interest in the securities. 667, L.P" is treated as the same holder as "are entitled to receive all the pecuniary interest in the securities issued. 667, L.P", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (4,428,484 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "667, L.P" is treated as the same holder as "or held for the benefit of 667", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (2,965,447 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Funds" is treated as the same holder as "Funds or for the benefit for Funds", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (33,443,355 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Funds or for the benefit for Funds" is treated as the same holder as "Funds or for the benefit of the Funds", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (33,446,882 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Paul Brooke Family Trust" is treated as the same holder as "Paul Brooke Family Trusts", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (20,000 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred typo: the share class "Commons Stock" is treated as the same class as "Common Stock" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Paula Swain, 36,513 shares): old title, new title

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

Sources and methodology1,615 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,615 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Incyte (SEC CIK 879169) from Jun 25, 2003 to Oct 5, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 7 filings were left out because Incyte filed them as an owner of another company's stock.

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".
