Revolution Medicines (RVMD) CEO Mark Goldsmith Sells 120,000 Shares

What Happened

  • Mark A. Goldsmith, President & Chief Executive Officer of Revolution Medicines (RVMD), exercised 120,000 option shares and sold 120,000 common shares in an open-market transaction on April 15, 2026.
  • He exercised 23,244 options at $4.09 (acquiring shares for $95,068) and 96,756 options at $4.73 (acquiring shares for $457,656), then sold 120,000 shares at a weighted-average price of $150.09 for total proceeds of $18,010,488. The exercise cost totaled $552,724, so the sale minus exercise cost was about $17.46M.
  • The option exercises are coded M (exercise of derivative) and the sale is coded S (open-market sale). This appears to be a same-day exercise-and-sell (cashless-style outcome) rather than a buy-and-hold purchase.

Context

  • For retail investors: this was an insider exercising options (converting derivatives into shares) and selling those shares the same day. Such transactions often reflect pre-established trading plans (here, a 10b5-1 plan), so they should not be read as a direct signal of management’s near-term view.
  • The filing shows both the low exercise prices and the high sale price, illustrating the substantial paper gain realized by exercising and immediately selling.
