Ryder Insider Trade: EVP Exercises & Sells 376 Shares on 15 Jul 2025

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Ryder System, Inc. (R) filed a Form 4 disclosing insider activity by EVP of DTS Steve W. Martin on 15 Jul 2025.

• Martin exercised 376 phantom stock units from the Deferred Compensation Plan (transaction code “M”) and immediately disposed of the same 376 common shares (code “D”) at $174.02 per share, a cash value of roughly $65k.
• Post-transaction direct ownership stands at 29,735 shares; indirect holdings total 2,764 shares (2,639 via the Employee Savings Plan and 125 remaining phantom units).
• The filing explains the exercise stems from a 1998 irrevocable deferral election that automatically distributed in 2025; no other equity awards were affected.

The share sale is modest relative to Martin’s total stake and appears plan-driven rather than indicative of a strategic change in insider positioning.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• EVP disposed of 376 shares at $174.02, representing insider selling activity, though the size is small relative to total holdings.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine, plan-based sale of 376 shares; immaterial impact on Ryder’s insider ownership profile.

The transaction converts phantom units accumulated since 1998 into common stock, immediately sold for about $65k. Martin retains nearly 30k shares directly, plus retirement-plan holdings, keeping overall exposure largely unchanged. Size (<1% of his direct stake and de-minimis versus Ryder’s 54 m share count) suggests a liquidity event tied to deferred-comp plan distribution rather than a signaling sale. Market impact is therefore neutral; no valuation-relevant information on operations or guidance is included.
