Luisa Ortega, a Coca-Cola ($KO) insider, sold shares of the beverage company's stock in two open-market transactions executed on August 6, 2026. The combined proceeds from the two sales totaled $4,827,894.
The larger transaction involved 35,983 shares at an average price of $86.55 per share, yielding $3,114,214. The second sale moved 19,772 shares at $86.67 per share, for $1,713,681. Ortega's post-transaction holdings stood at 30,386 shares and 26,209 shares, respectively. The corresponding Form 4 filings were submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, one day after the trade date. Ortega's insider role is listed as "Other" on both filings, and these are the only two Form 4 transactions for this insider in the database.
Ortega is the fifth $KO insider to conduct open-market sales since the start of June 2026. Chairman James Quincey was the largest seller, with four transactions between June 4 and July 29 that accounted for approximately $83.1 million in proceeds. President Jennifer K. Mann executed seven sales concentrated between June 5 and June 9, totaling roughly $24.0 million. CFO John Murphy sold $13.3 million in a single trade on July 31. Bruno Pietracci, also listed with an "Other" role, sold $6.8 million across two transactions on July 28. Across the five insiders, the aggregate open-market selling in $KO stock reached approximately $132.0 million over the nine-week period. All sixteen individual filings during this window were sales; no open-market purchases by $KO insiders were recorded.
On the congressional front, Representative Lloyd Doggett, a Democrat from Texas, disclosed a purchase of $KO stock valued at roughly $1,001. The transaction was executed on July 1 and reported on August 5 under STOCK Act requirements, carrying a disclosure delay of 35 days. Doggett previously disclosed a separate $KO purchase of the same estimated amount on April 1, 2026, reported on May 6. As with all congressional disclosures, the dollar figures are midpoint estimates of the bracketed ranges mandated by the STOCK Act.
Coca-Cola stock closed at $86.85 on August 6. The price had moved within a range of $86.56 to $89.08 over the prior two weeks during which multiple insider filings appeared on the public record.
