What stands out

Three insiders sold more than 25% of vested holdings: Christopher Cox (28% of holdings, $55.0M, all under a disclosed plan), Javier Olivan (53% of holdings, $40.4M, all under a disclosed plan) and Robert Kimmitt (65% of holdings, $3.5M, all under a disclosed plan).Christopher Cox: largest sale, Sep 21, 2026 · Javier Olivan: largest sale, Nov 15, 2025 · Robert Kimmitt: largest sale, Apr 15, 2026

Percentages cover 16 of 22 officers and directors. 6 are left out

Left out: Susan Li (most holdings were last confirmed in 2023); Andrew Bosworth, Jennifer Newstead and Aaron Anderson (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Peggy Alford (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022); Curtis Mahoney (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.

Susan Li

Chief Financial Officer

Outside holders, reported separately

Marc Andreessen (for the outside shareholder represented on the board) sold $251K in the past 12 months. Large shareholders and the funds or companies that board members represent are not part of management, so they are left out of the figures above.

Common questions

Is the Meta Platforms CEO selling stock?

Yes. Mark Zuckerberg sold 27K shares ($21.4M, 0.0% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Meta Platforms insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 95% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 5% were to cover taxes. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Meta Platforms insiders buying?

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

How much of their stake did Meta Platforms insiders sell?

Less than 0.1% overall. As a group they still hold 100.0% of their starting shares. The biggest seller whose stake can be measured, Christopher Cox, gave up 28% of starting holdings. 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.

Estimate: options held × ($728.08 − strike price), using the most recent insider trade price on Form 4 (Oct 5, 2026), not a market close.

22 of 22 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (21 exactly, 1 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 16 of 22 officers and directors. Left out: Susan Li (most holdings were last confirmed in 2023); Andrew Bosworth, Jennifer Newstead and Aaron Anderson (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Peggy Alford (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022); Curtis Mahoney (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$260M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $260M across 399,485 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

Disclosed plan · $247M · 95%

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($12.8M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

Taxes

$17.3M of sales (6.7%) cite tax obligations in their footnotes, $4.5M of them also under a plan. Separately, 154,216 shares ($94.7M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale. Example: Susan Li, Aug 15, 2026

Charitable gifts · 37K shares

Gifts the filings describe as charitable. Gifts are not sales and are not included in the sale totals.

Board members representing outside shareholders (1)Listed and sourced; not part of the management totals or the answer line

Directors whose reported holdings sit mostly in an investment fund or a corporate shareholder they represent, not in their own name, with beneficial ownership disclaimed except for their own financial interest. Listed and sourced here; not part of the management totals or the answer line. Shares a fund hands to its own investors are distributions, not sales.

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 methodology3,131 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 3,131 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Meta Platforms (SEC CIK 1326801) from May 17, 2012 to Oct 7, 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".
