Gottlieb Scott 4

What Happened
Scott Gottlieb, a director of Illumina, reported an open-market purchase of 200 ILMN shares on February 9, 2026. The shares were acquired at $117.81 per share, for a total transaction value of $23,562.

Context
Insider purchases can indicate confidence by directors or executives, but they should be considered alongside other information (company fundamentals, market conditions, and size/frequency of trades). This single, modest open-market buy by a director is factual disclosure rather than a direct recommendation to buy or sell ILMN stock.
