# Wells Fargo Executive Bridget Engle Sells $2.6M in WFC Stock One Month After Receiving Award

> Wells Fargo executive Bridget Engle sold 30,000 WFC shares worth $2.6M on Feb 26, 2026 — exactly one month after receiving a 41,428-share equity award.

Wells Fargo Executive Sells $2.6M in WFC Shares One Month After January Award Wells Fargo (WFC) executive Bridget E. Engle sold 30,000 shares at $87.10 per share on February 26, 2026, pocketing $2.6 million. The sale comes exactly one month after she received a 41,428-share equity award on January 27 — a pattern frequently seen in executive compensation cycles. After the sale, Engle retains 83,478 WFC shares, a substantial position in one of America’s largest banks. Transaction Timeline Date Action Shares Price Est. Value Shares After Jan 27, 2026 Award (A) 41,428 $0.00 — 41,428 Feb 26, 2026 Sell (S) 30,000 $87.10 $2,613,000 83,478 Engle’s Selling History Engle’s career selling at Wells Fargo follows a consistent pattern tied to compensation events. Her notable transactions: Feb 2025: Exercised 104,550 options and sold 51,571 shares at $79.47 ($4.1M) — her largest previous sale Feb 2025: Also sold an additional 2,348 shares at $79.47 ($187K) Feb 2026: This latest sale of 30,000 shares at $87.10 ($2.6M) Career total: approximately $7.9 million in WFC selling with no open-market purchases on record. This is typical for senior bank executives who receive the majority of their compensation in equity and periodically sell for liquidity and diversification. Context: WFC at $87 WFC stock has climbed from the mid-$70s in early 2025 to $87 now, a steady 10%+ gain driven by the bank’s ongoing recovery, cost discipline, and the favorable rate environment. Engle is selling at a near-52-week high, which is consistent with planned selling behavior rather than a distress signal. She retained 83,478 shares after the sale — worth approximately $7.3 million at current prices — which represents significant continued exposure to Wells Fargo. What to Watch Other WFC insider activity: Whether additional Wells Fargo executives file Form 4 sales in the coming weeks Upcoming earnings: Bank earnings season and any guidance updates from Wells Fargo Regulatory milestones: Progress on lifting the Fed’s asset cap would be a major catalyst for WFC Institutional positioning: Track large fund activity on WFC’s institutional holder page
