Further Reading from MarketBeat.com 3 Insider Moves You Shouldn't Ignore Heading Into 2026Submitted by Leo Miller. Article Posted: 12/16/2025. 
Key Points - A Salesforce insider just bought $25 million worth of stock, signaling confidence in the company's long-term strategy.
- Japanese investment company SoftBank sold $186 million of Symbotic stock, marking its first significant reduction in the position and signaling caution.
- Insiders at Meta Platforms financier Blue Owl are upping their stake in the company after a disappointing 2025.
Insider trades are often some of the most revealing signals in the market—and three recent moves are sending sharply different messages. At Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), a board member is doubling down after a rough year. Symbotic (NASDAQ: SYM) just saw its first major insider sale after a dramatic run-up. And Blue Owl Capital (NYSE: OWL) is attracting widespread insider buying despite poor recent performance. Together, these trades offer a window into what insiders believe lies ahead. $25 Million Salesforce Board Member Buy Reflects Long-Term Confidence Shareholders in tech giant Salesforce clearly just received a bullish signal from Mason G. Morfit, who sits on the company's Board of Directors. A growing number of researchers believe the U.S. is approaching a major economic and technological inflection point — one that could reshape work, wealth, and opportunity across society.
In a recent analysis, one commentator examines the forces driving this shift, why many people feel left behind despite working harder than ever, and how past transitions have created both significant losses and unexpected opportunities depending on how individuals prepared. Read the full analysis here On Dec. 5, Morfit purchased approximately $25 million worth of the company’s shares for investment management firm ValueAct Capital, where he serves as co-CEO and Chief Investment Officer. Because ValueAct manages outside capital, the purchase likely reflects high-conviction analysis and underscores the seriousness of this bullish move. Salesforce has come under considerable pressure in 2025, down around 21%. However, the company’s latest earnings report, released on Dec. 3, moved sentiment in the right direction, with shares up roughly 10% through Dec. 12. Despite the recent recovery, the stock remains more than 40% below its all-time high. Insider buying, combined with the firm’s AI momentum, provides reason to hope the rebound can continue. The company’s agentic artificial intelligence (AI) tool Agentforce has seen rapid adoption: annual recurring revenue for the product grew 330% last quarter versus a year earlier, supporting Salesforce's target of over 10% annual revenue growth through fiscal 2030. While some investors remain skeptical of that growth trajectory, Morfit’s sizable purchase signals institutional confidence in Salesforce’s long-term AI strategy. SoftBank Trims Symbotic Stake for the First Time After Massive 2025 Rally On the other side of the equation, robotics company Symbotic just saw a significant insider sale from one of its biggest backers. Major shareholder SoftBank Group (OTCMKTS: SOBKY), a large Japanese investment company known for taking stakes in tech firms, sold more than $186 million worth of Symbotic shares on Dec. 8. Symbotic makes robotic systems used to optimize warehouses, with Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT) its primary customer. The company’s stock has surged approximately 159% year-to-date (YTD), making SoftBank’s timing on the sale strategically understandable. According to its last 13F filing, Symbotic has been one of SoftBank's largest positions; since taking a position in 2022, SoftBank had been increasing the number of shares it owns. The recent sale, therefore, could be interpreted as a bearish signal for the stock. With this recent sale, SoftBank reduced its position in Symbotic by around 9%, from 39.8 million shares to 36.3 million shares. SoftBank continues to hold a large stake, but this move could be the first in a series of reductions. Investors should monitor further activity closely. 4 Blue Owl Executives Buy Shares Despite Weak Performance Blue Owl Capital, a firm focused on private credit and direct lending, has faced significant pressure in 2025, posting a negative 30% total return YTD—but its top executives are sending a different message. In December, four senior insiders, including both co-CEOs, the CFO, and Credit platform head Craig Packer, purchased shares. In total, these insiders bought $5.9 million in OWL stock. The fact that multiple top executives are buying is a solid bullish indicator for Blue Owl. Blue Owl made headlines in October when it entered a joint venture with Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). Blue Owl will provide funds to finance the development of Meta’s Hyperion data center and will own an 80% interest in the facility. That arrangement could become a meaningful revenue stream and help justify long-term optimism. Follow the Smart Money Insider trades often reveal priorities and pressure points that don’t always show up in earnings reports. December’s moves suggest leadership at Salesforce and Blue Owl sees untapped upside, while SoftBank’s partial exit from Symbotic may reflect a shift in risk tolerance. As 2026 approaches, these insider actions offer an early read on which strategies insiders believe are built to last—and which may be due for recalibration.
