Today's Featured News 3 Insider Moves You Shouldn't Ignore Heading Into 2026Written by Leo Miller. Published 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 weak 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 received a bullish signal from Mason G. Morfit, a member of the company's Board of Directors. How daily 'stock bets' hit 87% of the time
While most people are gambling with 0DTE options, one Wall Street insider has cracked the code. Her new system spots exactly where institutional money flows in the final hour before the big moves happen. The proof? There's tons of it. The folks using her system are grabbing gains like $5,000 in minutes. And turning $100K into $700K in months. Click here to see how her system works. 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 endorsement. Salesforce has come under considerable pressure in 2025, trading roughly 21% lower year to date. However, the company's latest earnings report, released Dec. 3, helped sentiment: shares were up about 10% through Dec. 12. Despite that rebound, the stock remains more than 40% below its all-time high. Insider buying, coupled with the firm's AI momentum, provides reason to believe the recovery could continue. Salesforce'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 the company'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 Conversely, robotics company Symbotic saw a significant insider sale from one of its largest backers. Major shareholder SoftBank Group (OTCMKTS: SOBKY), the large Japanese investment firm known for taking stakes in tech companies, 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 roughly 159% year-to-date, so SoftBank's timing on the sale is strategically understandable. According to its most recent 13F filing, Symbotic had been one of SoftBank's largest positions and the firm had been increasing its stake since 2022. This recent sale—the first reduction after a period of accumulation—could be interpreted as a bearish signal for the stock. With this transaction, SoftBank reduced its position in Symbotic by about 9%, from 39.8 million shares to 36.3 million shares. SoftBank still holds a large position, but this could be the first in a series of reductions. Investors should watch for further moves. 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 roughly 30% total return loss year to date—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, bought shares. In total, these insiders purchased $5.9 million in OWL stock. Multiple purchases by senior leaders are a solid bullish indicator for Blue Owl. Blue Owl drew attention in October when it entered a joint venture with Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). Blue Owl will provide funds to finance development of Meta's Hyperion data center and will own an 80% interest in the facility. That JV could become a meaningful revenue stream and support longer-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 that 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.
