David Lawrence Thompson Jr., President of American Financial Group ($AFG), sold 11,370 shares of the Cincinnati-based insurance holding company on June 23, 2026, at an average price of $135.05 per share, for a total of approximately $1.54 million. The Form 4 was filed with the SEC one day later, on June 24. Following the transaction, Thompson retained 584,097 shares in the company.
The sale stands as the largest single insider transaction recorded at $AFG in at least the past several months by dollar value. The next-closest in recent history came from Director Stephen Craig Lindner Jr., who sold 10,000 shares on August 21, 2025, at $134.31 per share for roughly $1.34 million — a transaction also executed in the open market. Thompson's June trade was priced marginally higher and involved more shares, placing its total value above that earlier sale.
Other $AFG insiders have been active as well. CFO Brian S. Hertzman conducted two open-market sales in the trailing twelve months: 1,777 shares on November 7, 2025, at approximately $142.51 per share ($253,000), and 1,663 shares on February 27, 2026, at roughly $133.70 per share ($222,000). Director Amy Y. Murray sold 920 shares on September 3, 2025, at $136.63 per share (~$126,000). Taken together, those four insiders have collectively reported open-market sales across five separate filings over the period, with Thompson's June transaction representing the single largest of the group.
On the congressional side, Representative Ro Khanna of California has been a recurring trader in $AFG shares. Khanna disclosed a purchase in the $15,001 range on March 23, 2026, roughly three months before Thompson's sale, and reported a separate sale in the same range on January 22, 2026. His most recent disclosed $AFG trade was a sale on May 1, 2026, reported to Congress on June 9, a delay of 39 days. Congressional disclosure amounts reflect midpoints of bracketed ranges required under the STOCK Act, not exact figures.
