Toyota Motor Corp ($TM) President Kenta Kon purchased 85,000 shares of his company's stock on August 5, 2026, in an open-market transaction valued at $1,564,850. He paid $18.41 per share. A Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the next day, August 6, disclosed the trade and showed his direct holdings rising to 148,100 shares.
That filing represents the only Form 4 on record for Kon. As President, he sits among the automaker's senior leadership, though no prior open-market purchases or sales by him appear in available SEC filings.
The purchase arrived roughly seven weeks after the most recent insider activity on the ticker. On June 17, 2026, Vice Chairman Koji Sato sold 88,600 shares of $TM at $17.83 each, a transaction totaling approximately $1.58 million. The Form 4 covering that sale was filed on July 20, a 33-day gap between trade and disclosure. Kon's acquisition and Sato's disposition moved in opposite directions; together, they account for the only two insider trades recorded for Toyota in the database.
Toyota stock has also drawn periodic attention from lawmakers. Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) reported two sales of $TM in early 2026, on February 13 and March 13, each with a midpoint estimated value of $1,001. Those disclosures were filed 24 and 25 days after the trades. During 2025, Khanna reported a purchase in May valued at roughly $15,001 and another in November at approximately $1,001, both midpoint figures. Representative Lisa Mcclain (R-MI) was active in the stock during 2025 as well: a purchase in June, a sale later that month, another purchase in August, and a sale in October, all in the $1,001 midpoint range. Congressional dollar figures are midpoint estimates drawn from the bracketed ranges members of Congress must disclose.
Toyota Motor Corp, headquartered in Japan and traded on the New York Stock Exchange through American Depositary Receipts, operates in the global automobiles industry. The Form 4 did not attach explanatory footnotes regarding the purpose of the transaction beyond the standard reporting requirements.
