Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (CELC)
2 of 3 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | % of holdings sold | 10b5-1 plan | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-07-14 | Baker Bros. Advisors Lp | 3,100,000 | $318M | 41.5% | No | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023 or 2024) | |
| 2026-05-04 | Dalvey David | Director | 25,000 | $3.5M | 27.8% | Yes (adopted August 19, 2025) | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2024) |
| 2026-05-04 | Buller Richard E | Director | 9,000 | $1.3M | 53.6% | Yes (adopted December 8, 2025) | Opportunistic (traded every year 2023–2025, no repeating month) |
% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

From Celcuity Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-03-26)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- We are also required to make milestone payments to Pfizer upon achievement of certain development and commercial milestone events, including a $5.0 million milestone payment we made in January 2026 following FDA acceptance of our NDA submission, up to an aggregate of $335.0 million.
- Many of the companies against which we may compete have significantly greater financial resources and expertise than we do in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical testing, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing approved products. are several PI3K, AKT, and mTOR inhibitors approved by the FDA, including PIQRAY and AFINITOR from Novartis AG, TRUQAP from AstraZeneca plc, ITOVEBI from F.
- If gedatolisib ultimately receives FDA approval for the treatment using internal duration of treatment estimates and pricing assumptions consistent with currently available novel therapeutics for breast cancer, we estimate the total addressable market for gedatolisib in the second-line setting is more than $5.0 billion.
- NDA approval of a new chemical entity ("NCE"), which is a drug (i.e., gedatolisib) that contains no active moiety that has been approved by the FDA in any other NDA, that drug receives five years of marketing exclusivity during which the FDA cannot accept any Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA"), seeking approval of a generic version of that drug.
Partnerships
- We also rely on trade secrets, trademarks, know-how, continuing technological innovation and potential in-licensing opportunities to develop and maintain our proprietary position. entered into the Gedatolisib License Agreement with Pfizer in April 2021, pursuant to which we acquired exclusive worldwide rights under Pfizer patents and know-how to develop, manufacture and commercialize gedatolisib.
- Given the significant penetration our research is suggesting we can achieve, we believe it is reasonable to estimate that a second-line indication for gedatolisib could potentially generate peak revenue of up to $2.5 billion annually. success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary protection for our product candidates, to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others, and to prevent others from infringing our proprietary rights.
