EARLEY ANTHONY F JR

Anthony Earley Jr.'s 441-transaction Form 4 file for DTE Energy (DTE) is a long-tenured executive's liquidation record: 1,342,677 shares sold against 225 buys since 2003, a six-thousand-to-one ratio that places his DTE chapter firmly in the executive-disgorgement category and closed before 2024. His recent two-year filing window, which tracks activity across five of his seven board relationships, contains zero directional trades — instead it is entirely Southern Co (SO) Code A awards arriving in quarterly batches, with the latest 473 shares on July 1, 2026, following a 229-share award on the same date. The awards range from 229 to 1,019 shares per quarter since 2023 and land near quarter-ends with clockwork regularity. For a file whose historical signature is heavy sell-side volume, the current filing record is most useful as confirmation that secondary board relationships are still active — that SO, PCG, CMA, and the silent MAS and PLUG positions are being maintained through compensation delivery rather than through any new portfolio construction. The right watchlist question is whether the SO awards eventually produce sell-side filings, because at their current sizes (700-1,000 shares per quarter) they accumulate a meaningful stake over time, and a future tax event or diversification decision will translate that accumulation into a visible sell. Until then, the recent record is the most reliably boring file in this batch, and its informational value is the calendar regularity itself.
