Alphabet Shares Under Scrutiny as CEO Pichai Executes Multi-Million Dollar Stock Sale
28.09.2025 - 21:18:04Institutional Investors Pare Back Holdings
A significant transaction by Alphabet Inc.’s chief executive has captured market attention. Sundar Pichai sold a substantial portion of his holdings in the parent company of Google, realizing proceeds of $8.1 million. The sale of 32,500 shares occurred on September 17 at an average price of $249.50. Following this divestment, Pichai retains a stake of 2.4 million shares in the technology conglomerate.
The CEO’s move coincides with a notable shift in sentiment among major financial institutions. SJS Investment Consulting significantly reduced its exposure to Alphabet, cutting its position by 16.1%. This adjustment involved the sale of 2,121 shares. Such portfolio rebalancing by professional investment firms often signals a more cautious outlook on a company’s near-term prospects, particularly during periods of market uncertainty.
