GlobalFoundries Inc. reported an insider disposal this week as Chief Business Officer Michael James Hogan sold a block of ordinary shares on March 18, 2026. According to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Hogan sold 1,800 shares at $43.25 per share, yielding proceeds of $77,850. The filing also shows he gifted 150 shares in the same filing.
Following these movements, the filing records that Hogan directly holds 22,745 ordinary shares of GlobalFoundries. The transactions were carried out under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established prior to the company’s securities offering and are consistent with the terms of an existing lock-up agreement that expires on May 10, 2026.
On the market, GlobalFoundries shares have been trading higher recently. The stock is quoted at $44.15 and has gained 32% over the past six months and 24% year-to-date, figures that reflect pronounced momentum within the semiconductor sector. The company’s market capitalization is listed at $24.1 billion and the shares trade at a price-to-earnings ratio of 29.7. An investing analysis cited in related materials describes the stock as slightly overvalued relative to its Fair Value and points readers to a comprehensive Pro Research Report on GFS for deeper, paid research.
These insider transactions come against the backdrop of a sizeable secondary placement by GlobalFoundries’ largest shareholder. Mubadala Technology Investment Company, a unit of Mubadala Investment Co., sold $840 million worth of GlobalFoundries stock in a secondary offering. The placement comprised 20 million ordinary shares priced at $42.00 apiece and reportedly drew demand roughly four times the size of the offering.
Notably, GlobalFoundries itself did not sell any shares in that transaction and will not receive proceeds from the placement. The selling shareholder has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3 million shares at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions.
In a governance and personnel-related move noted alongside the financing news, USA Rare Earth appointed Dr. Thomas Caulfield to its Board of Directors. Dr. Caulfield currently serves as Executive Chairman of GlobalFoundries and previously held the CEO role at the company; he is credited in filings and public disclosures with having led GlobalFoundries through its initial public offering in 2021.
The combined set of disclosures - an insider sale and gift, a major secondary offering by the company’s largest shareholder, and an external board appointment involving GlobalFoundries’ Executive Chairman - underscores active changes in share ownership and leadership connections. The filings make clear how these moves were structured, including the operation of a pre-established 10b5-1 plan and the constraints of a lock-up agreement with a defined expiration date.
