# Six Meritage Homes Insiders Sell $4.85M in MTH Stock — CEO, CFO, and General Counsel All Unloading

> Six Meritage Homes executives sold a combined $4.85M in MTH stock across 17 transactions in late February, with CEO Lord leading at $2.91M.

Six Meritage Homes executives sold a combined $4.85 million in MTH stock across 17 transactions in late February, with CEO Phillippe Lord leading the exit at $2.91 million. The sellers span the entire C-suite — CEO, CFO, Executive Chairman, General Counsel, Chief People Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer. When virtually every senior leader sells in the same week, it raises questions even if individual amounts are modest. Who Sold What Insider Title Transactions Value Shares After Phillippe Lord CEO 4 $2.91M 260,389 Hilla Sferruzza EVP & CFO 3 $830K 124,961 Malissia Clinton EVP, General Counsel 3 $390K 19,203 Steven J. Hilton Executive Chairman 2 $370K 841,603 Javier Feliciano EVP, Chief People Officer 3 $270K 44,935 Alison Sasser SVP, Chief Accounting Officer 2 $70K 8,907 Total: 6 insiders, 17 transactions $4.85M Context: A $77 Stock MTH trades around $77 per share — down significantly from its 52-week highs. The coordinated selling comes at a time when homebuilder stocks face headwinds from elevated mortgage rates and slowing new-home demand. All transactions occurred between February 18 and February 24, with sales prices ranging from $75.90 to $80.07 per share. The tight clustering suggests these may be pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan executions rather than discretionary trades. The Executive Chairman Factor Executive Chairman Steven Hilton is worth watching. He sold just $370K — a tiny fraction relative to his massive 841,603-share position worth approximately $65 million. Hilton's token selling versus CEO Lord's $2.91M disposition creates an interesting contrast in insider conviction levels. Key Takeaways 6 of 6 C-suite sellers — 100% executive participation is notable CEO leads at 60% of total: Lord's $2.91M represents most of the selling Executive Chairman barely sold: Hilton's 841K shares dwarf everyone else's position CFO Sferruzza second-largest seller: $830K from the person who sees the books first Stock under pressure: Selling into a declining share price adds to the bearish signal For MTH investors, the unanimous C-suite selling warrants attention — particularly CEO Lord's $2.91M sale and CFO Sferruzza's $830K liquidation. While 10b5-1 plans explain the mechanics, they don't explain why every executive chose to set up sells at these levels.
