What Happened
Cathy E. Cooper, Executive Vice President & Chief Consumer Banker of WAFD Inc. (WAFD), sold 5,300 common shares in an open-market transaction on February 6, 2026. The shares were sold at $33.77 each, generating proceeds of $178,981. This was a sale (not a purchase or option exercise) and is often routine insider liquidity rather than a straightforward signal about company prospects.
