Publix Director Jessica Blume Transfers and Receives Shares

What Happened

• Jessica L. Blume, a director of Publix Super Markets, reported three transactions: a gift on 2026-02-18 of 1,930 shares (reported as acquired by gift) and two matched “other acquisition or disposition” (code J) entries on 2026-08-11 showing 23,465 shares disposed and 23,465 shares acquired, each at $19.60 per share (each leg valued at $459,914). The gift (1,930 shares at $20.40) is valued at $39,372.
• The 2/18 entry is a gift (not a market purchase or sale) and the 8/11 paired J transactions show both a disposition and an acquisition of the same number of shares at the same price — often indicative of an internal transfer between accounts rather than a market sale.

Key Details

• Dates and prices:
  • 2026-02-18: Gift (G) — 1,930 shares at $20.40 ($39,372)

• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the information provided in this summary (check the full Form 4 for total beneficial ownership).
• Footnotes/plan notes: None shown here; J-code entries denote “other acquisition or disposition” (see filing for issuer notes).
• Filing timeliness: Form filed 2026-08-12. The 2026-02-18 gift appears to have been reported late (late reporting can affect timely public disclosure).

Context

• Gifts do not reflect a purchase decision and generally shouldn’t be read as a bullish signal by themselves.
• Paired J-code disposition and acquisition on the same day for the same amount commonly reflect transfers (for example between trusts or accounts) rather than an open-market sale; consult the full filing for any issuer notes clarifying the transaction.
