Carvana Shares Drop 5% Following Insider Sale Filings
Carvana Co. (CVNA) shares fell 5.2% to $400.25 on Friday, underperforming broader markets as insider sale filings rattled investor confidence. Two proposed FORM 144 transactions—a 10,000-share sale by BHJC Trust ($4.22M) and a 12,750-share sale by insider Mark Jenkins—collectively represented just 0.02% of outstanding shares, yet amplified volatility in the high-beta stock.
The used-vehicle retailer remains a bellwether for speculative appetite, with traders eyeing upcoming ISM and jobs data for macro cues. Despite the pullback, Carvana’s recent S&P 500 inclusion may provide structural demand support. "Stocks like Carvana react sharply to single-stock catalysts after holiday lulls," noted Matthew Maley of Miller Tabak.
