AI Insider Summary

Despite one of the largest personal Form 4 records in the dataset — 2,194 filings dating back to May 2017 — every transaction Ernest Garcia III has ever reported ties to a single issuer: Carvana Co. No other company appears anywhere in his filing history, and most of that volume is not open-market conviction trading. Recent filings show a recurring monthly cadence of code-F shares withheld for taxes tied to equity vesting, one straightforward stock award of 22,412 shares on April 29, 2026, and a single day — October 9, 2025 — when nearly twenty separate small sales printed between $362.00 and $353.43.

Lifetime, the flow actually skews toward accumulation: 2,183,333 shares acquired against 1,731,546 disposed across the full record, a function of grants outnumbering the withholding and sale mechanics that generate most of the individual filings. But the per-share prices embedded in his own recent Form 4s trace a sharp markdown in a short window: $396.59 on April 29, 2026, falling to $71.00 by June 1 and $67.87 by July 1 — a decline visible entirely inside his own routine withholding sales, filed as compensation mechanics rather than a discretionary market call.

The five most recent filings are a clean illustration of the mechanics behind the count. On 2026-07-01, 7,072 shares were disposed under transaction code F (shares withheld to cover a tax liability) at $67.87. A month earlier, 2026-06-01, the same code-F pattern recurred: 7,067 shares at $71.00. On 2026-04-29, two filings landed the same day — an acquisition of 22,412 shares under code A (grant/award) paired with a code-F disposal of 9,268 shares at $396.59 — the standard sequence of an equity award vesting and a portion immediately withheld for taxes, not a discretionary buy or sell decision. A further code-F withholding of 4,537 shares at $312.09 followed on 2026-04-01, and the same monthly rhythm appears in late 2025 (1,229 shares at $375.26 on 2025-12-01; 1,229 shares at $306.54 on 2025-11-01).

The one clear departure from that monthly withholding cadence sits on 2025-10-09, when close to twenty separate small sales — individually ranging from 15 to 215 shares — printed in succession at prices stepping down from $362.00 to $353.43. Bundled into a single reporting date at that granularity, it reads as one block sale executed and reported in small increments rather than twenty independent trading decisions.
