What stands out

Three insiders sold more than 25% of vested holdings: George Kurian (55% of holdings, $30.3M, all under a disclosed plan), Deepak Ahuja (43% of holdings, $1.4M, all under a disclosed plan) and Carrie Palin (53% of holdings, $1.1M, none under a disclosed plan).George Kurian: largest sale, Sep 29, 2026 · Deepak Ahuja: largest sale, Sep 21, 2026 · Carrie Palin: largest sale, Oct 2, 2026
Two directors sold $3.7M with no disclosed plan: Gerald Held ($2.5M) and Thomas Nevens ($1.2M). The filings don't state a reason.Gerald Held: largest such sale, Jun 3, 2026 · Thomas Nevens: largest such sale, Sep 11, 2026
Selling picked up in the last 90 days: officers and directors sold 178K shares, against an average of 22K per 90 days earlier in the period. Most of it was George Kurian (150K shares in the last 90 days, 55% of holdings) and Deepak Ahuja (7K shares in the last 90 days, 43% of holdings); 90% of these sales were under disclosed plans.George Kurian: largest recent sale, Sep 29, 2026 · Deepak Ahuja: largest recent sale, Sep 21, 2026

Percentages cover 8 of 17 officers and directors. 9 are left out

Left out: Cesar Cernuda (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022); Elizabeth O'Callahan (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Thomas Nevens (most holdings were last confirmed in 2023); Gerald Held (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Daniel De Lorenzo, June Yang, Wissam Jabre, Syam Nair and Paul Fipps (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.

Common questions

Is the NetApp CEO selling stock?

Yes. George Kurian sold 150K shares ($30.3M, 55% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are NetApp insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 90% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 10% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any NetApp insiders buying?

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

How much of their stake did NetApp insiders sell?

About 30% overall. As a group they still hold 88% 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.

16 of 17 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (11 exactly, 5 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 1 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on that row explains why. Percentages cover 8 of 17 officers and directors. Left out: Cesar Cernuda (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022); Elizabeth O'Callahan (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Thomas Nevens (most holdings were last confirmed in 2023); Gerald Held (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Daniel De Lorenzo, June Yang, Wissam Jabre, Syam Nair and Paul Fipps (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$46.3M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $46.3M across 245,989 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($4.7M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $4.7M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $2.5M of it is Gerald Held. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Gerald Held, Jun 3, 2026

Taxes

204,081 shares ($25.9M) 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 uncertainty1 insider whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

Gerald Held: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of 20,907 shares). Balance changed with no matching transaction and no footnote: +20,907 shares on Jun 3, 2026 (Direct). Filing, Jun 3, 2026

Cesar Cernuda: minor difference of 253 shares. Difference is stated in footnotes (unreported vesting, exempt acquisition or transfer).

Elizabeth O'Callahan: minor difference of 280 shares. Difference is stated in footnotes (unreported vesting, exempt acquisition or transfer).

Daniel De Lorenzo: minor difference of 258 shares. Difference is stated in footnotes (unreported vesting, exempt acquisition or transfer).

Wissam Jabre: minor difference of 268 shares. Difference is stated in footnotes (unreported vesting, exempt acquisition or transfer).

Syam Nair: minor difference of 379 shares. Difference is stated in footnotes (unreported vesting, exempt acquisition or transfer).

Inferred rename: "Ltd Prtshp" is treated as the same holder as "Limited Partnership", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (231,648 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Trust" is treated as the same holder as "Trust2", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (240 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Berry Trust" is treated as the same holder as "Berry Family Trust", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (159,909 shares). Old name, new name

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

Sources and methodology1,475 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,475 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for NetApp (SEC CIK 1002047) from Jun 27, 2003 to Oct 6, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 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".
