NRG insider ownership: who sold, why, and what they still hold

What stands out

Outside holders and shareholders represented on the board, not part of management, sold heavily: LS Power Equity Advisors, LLC ($2.65B) and David Nanus ($2.65B).LS Power Equity Advisors, LLC: largest sale, Mar 4, 2026 · David Nanus: largest sale, Mar 4, 2026

Percentages cover 18 of 24 officers and directors. 6 are left out

Left out: Brian Curci, Bruce Chung, Virginia Kinney and Robert Gaudette (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Sanjay Kapoor and Caroline Golin (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.

Selling by month

Officers and directors, Oct 2025 to Oct 2026. Each sale is counted once: under a disclosed plan, else to cover taxes, else no plan disclosed.

Disclosed planOne dollar scale for every month; the tallest bar is labeled

Outside holders, reported separately

LS Power Equity Advisors, LLC sold $2.65B and David Nanus sold $2.65B 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.

Details

Common questions

Is the NRG Energy CEO selling stock?

No. Lawrence Coben reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are NRG Energy 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 NRG Energy insiders buying?

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

How much of their stake did NRG Energy insiders sell?

About 0.1% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. 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.

24 of 24 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (8 exactly, 16 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 18 of 24 officers and directors. Left out: Brian Curci, Bruce Chung, Virginia Kinney and Robert Gaudette (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Sanjay Kapoor and Caroline Golin (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$35.9M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

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 methodology1,736 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,736 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for NRG Energy (SEC CIK 1013871) from Dec 9, 2003 to Sep 9, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 4 filings were left out because NRG Energy filed them as an owner of another company's stock.

Probable 2-for-1 stock split on or before May 31, 2007 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 14 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".
