GOOGL insider buying and selling over the past year

Insiders at Alphabet Inc. only sold stock in the open market over the past year: 30 Form 4 sales totaling $127.22M, against no open-market purchases.

Most of the selling was pre-scheduled: 30 of the 30 sales (100.0%) were flagged as Rule 10b5-1 plan trades, which are set up in advance and say less about an insider's current view than discretionary sales.

The average open-market sale price was $308.17; the last close of $340.59 is 10.5% above that level, so sellers left upside on the table. The single largest trade was a sale of 47,574 shares worth $14.34M on 2026-02-17. Since the most recent filing the stock has moved +24.5%, from $273.50.
