Director Fribourg Reports a $5.7 Million EL Purchase

The largest insider transaction on today’s list was filed by The Estee Lauder Companies $EL director Paul Fribourg.

Fribourg revealed a purchase of $5,724,373 in his own company’s stock.

The CEO of Markel Corp $MKL just put a little over $200,000 of his own cash into the stock—not a massive bet, but definitely worth paying attention to.

We like to see CEO purchases come with a little more size than this.

Here’s The Hot Corner, with data from February 7, 2025:

Control Empresarial de Capitales S.A., the investment firm tied to Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, just made a massive bet on PBF Energy Inc $PBF, scooping up $4,305,060 worth of stock.

Last but not least, two Merck & Co $MRK directors just made a significant statement, collectively buying $1,577,499 worth of their company’s stock.

When not just one but multiple high-level executives put their own money into a company it raises eyebrows.
