Just acquired Iridium Communications, so why did RKLB still drop over 7% yesterday? No negative business news—probably because the CEO sold shares. Back in March, the CEO announced plans to sell 5 million shares, and that plan expires on July 8.
Details:
1) March 27: Equatorial Trust (Peter Beck's family trust) signed a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan with Goldman Sachs, authorizing the sale of up to 5 million RKLB common shares (about 1% of RKLB stock). The plan is valid until July 8, 2026.
2) May 26, 2026: The Trust converted 5 million Series A Preferred Stock into 5 million common shares, explicitly for the purpose of "delivering shares to the broker" under the 10b5-1 plan for future sales.
3) Last week, there were no large-scale Form 4 filings (insider trading disclosures), meaning the sell-off plan hadn’t started yet. Looks like they’re speeding things up these past few days.
