Group MD & Director of Mainfreight Donald Braid Buys More Stock
Investors who take an interest in Mainfreight Limited (NZSE:MFT) should definitely note that the Group MD & Director, Donald Braid, recently paid NZ$58.15 per share to buy NZ$581k worth of the stock. However, it only increased shareholding by a small percentage, and it wasn't a huge purchase by absolute value, either. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Mainfreight Insider Transactions Over The Last Year In fact, the recent purchase by Donald Braid was the biggest purchase of Mainfreight shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That implies that an insider found the current price of NZ$59.50 per share to be enticing. That means they have been optimistic about the company in the past, though they may have changed their mind. We do always like to see insider buying, but it is worth noting if those purchases were made at well below today's share price, as the discount to value may have narrowed with the rising price. The good news for Mainfreight share holders is that insiders were buying at near the current price. Mainfreight insiders may have bought shares in the last year, but they didn't sell any. You can see the insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year depicted in the chart below. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction! View our latest analysis for Mainfreight Mainfreight is not the only stock insiders are buying. So take a peek at this free list of under-the-radar companies with insider buying. Does Mainfreight Boast High Insider Ownership? I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Mainfreight insiders own 20% of the company, currently worth about NZ$1.2b based on the recent share price. Most shareholders would be happy to see this sort of insider ownership, since it suggests that management incentives are well aligned with other shareholders. So What Do The Mainfreight Insider Transactions Indicate? The recent insider purchase is heartening. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. Once you factor in the high insider ownership, it certainly seems like insiders are positive about Mainfreight. Looks promising! Of course, the future is what matters most.

Joby Said to Weigh Deal for Helicopter Ride-Share Operator Blade
(Bloomberg) -- Joby Aviation Inc is exploring an acquisition of helicopter ride-share operator Blade Air Mobility Inc, according to people familiar with the matter. The World's Data Center Capital Has Residents Surrounded An Abandoned Art-Deco Landmark in Buffalo Awaits Revival We Should All Be Biking Along the Beach Seeking Relief From Heat and Smog, Cities Follow the Wind San Francisco in Talks With Vanderbilt for Downtown Campus Joby has been evaluating a deal for Blade, which sells per-seat helicopter trips from New York City to nearby airports and resort towns, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the details aren't public. The potential acquisition would give Joby, which is developing battery-powered air taxis, a ready-made market for its aircraft. No final decision has been made and Joby could opt against pursuing a deal for Blade, the people added. Representatives for Joby and Blade didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Blade, which went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company in 2021, hasn't reported an annual a profit since it listed. The company's shares have fallen 10% this year, giving it a market value of $309 million. Backed by Toyota Motor Corp., Joby expects to have five aircraft in one of the final phases of certification next year as it aims to start commercial flights in early 2026. The $13.6 billion company announced plans last month to double production capacity at its plant in Marina, California, to manufacture up to 24 aircraft a year.

Figma IPO's surprise winner is a charity with 13 million shares—and a famous backstory that sparked a bitter feud over an oil fortune decades ago
As Figma went public this week to much fanfare—and an almost instantaneous 250% stock pop—quite a few folks from Silicon Valley made money. But the biggest winner in terms of immediate IPO proceeds is not any of the marquee Silicon Valley venture capital firms such as Index Ventures, Greylock, and Kleiner Perkins, who sold only small slivers of their stakes in the offering. Nor is it any of the Figma management team, including CEO Dylan Field, who have most of their equity locked in the company. Instead, a Novato, Calif.-based charity took home the biggest payout. The Marin Community Foundation, located an hour north of San Francisco and focused on grantmaking around issues like education, health, economic opportunity, and environmental concerns, sold more than 13.4 million shares in the offering, making it the largest selling shareholder (Figma itself only sold 12.5 million shares). As Figma initially priced its shares at $33 a pop, the Marin Community Foundation sold off its stake to the tune of more than $440 million. (If it had waited, of course, that stake would now be worth well over $1 billion.) The charity received its shares in Figma over the summer from Evan Wallace, the company's elusive cofounder, a source familiar with the matter told Fortune. This isn't necessarily a common practice right before a company goes public, another source told Fortune, but is one that does crop up from time to time—a founder with a connection to a charity giving shares with upside. There are adjacent examples from the past, including Mark Zuckerberg in 2013 donating $1 billion in Facebook shares to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation (though Zuck's gift happened after Facebook's 2012 IPO.) A spokesperson for MCF described the foundation as 'one of the largest community foundations in the U.S.,' adding 'that a community foundation is a public charity that manages the philanthropy of individuals, families and institutions.' The spokesperson declined to comment on anything specific about the Figma gift, citing its privacy policy regarding individual donors or nonprofits. Why Wallace made the gift to the foundation, and whether he has any personal connection to it, is not clear. Figma declined to provide a comment on behalf of Wallace, and Fortune was unable to reach him directly. Wallace and Figma CEO Dylan Field cofounded the company in 2012 after meeting as students at Brown University. Wallace stepped away from Figma in 2021 and has tended to stay out of the public eye. The part of the charity that Wallace gave the shares to—the MCF Gift Fund—suggests that the Figma cofounder's grant may involve a so-called donor advised fund, a tax efficient structure whereby a wealthy individual puts money into a non-profit and is then able to direct the funds to various causes. The Marin Community Foundation's spokesperson said that the MCF Gift Fund 'facilitates the acceptance of complex gifts that can be turned into philanthropic capital to enable donors to fulfill their philanthropic ambitions.' But the Figma founder's philanthropical move has a historical wrinkle that makes it even more interesting… Before AI money there was oil money Interestingly, the Marin County Foundation, which had about $2.8 billion in total assets at the end of 2024, is itself the product of a previous generation of big business—and of a bitter, years-long legal fight for control of the money. The foundation's history traces back to Beryl and Leonard Buck, whose wealth was linked to an investment in Belridge Oil. When Beryl Buck died in 1975 she gave the money to the San Francisco Foundation, with the wish that it be used for causes in Marin County, where she had lived in the tony town of Ross. But when oil giant Shell purchased the rights to Belridge Oil four years later for more than $3.6 billion, the value of the $7.6 million Buck Trust was suddenly worth $240 million ($1 billion in today's dollars), and the SF Foundation became the 11th largest foundation in the U.S., according to a history on its website. The problem, as the SF Foundation explains it, was that 'we found ourselves in the uncomfortable position of granting tens of millions of dollars each year (far more than we granted to all other counties combined) to the wealthiest county in the Bay Area.'Or as a story in the LA Times noted back then, one of the country's most well-resourced charities was stuck looking for ways to spend all the money in the 'hot-tub capital of America.' When the Foundation went to court to seek permission to spend some of the money in other, needier parts of the Bay Area, a public firestorm ensued. The move was 'characterized as a threat to the sanctity of wills and the health of philanthropy, and as an offense against capitalism, the American way of life, and God,' Yale Law School professor John G. Simon wrote of the affair. 'Foundation personnel were said to be corrupt and dishonest and, in the language of a Marin County supervisor, 'grave-robbing bastards.'' In the end, the San Francisco Foundation lost its court battle, and a new organization—The Marin Community Foundation—was created in 1986 to administer the Buck Trust. Now, 39 years later, the Marin County Foundation is getting another massive windfall. Whether Wallace is aware of the contentious and famous story behind the foundation he picked is a mystery. But, wittingly or not, the reclusive Figma cofounder has managed to put the foundation back in the headlines at the cusp of another historical moment in business history and wealth creation.
