FIX CEO dumps $22M at all-time highs after 375% run

Comfort Systems USA's CEO sold $21.9M of FIX stock this week. Discretionary. Not pre-planned. He moved 6.5% of his position with the stock trading within a hair of its 52-week high at $2,011. The company builds HVAC systems for data centers, and the AI infrastructure build-out has been very good to them. The stock is up 375% over the last year.

Here's the pattern. Lane sold $13.6M last summer when the stock was trading around $423. That was 3.2% of his holdings then. FIX quintupled since that sale. Now he's selling again, and this time he's moving nearly twice the percentage of his position at a price 375% higher than his last exit. He's watched his stake run from $423 to $2,011 and he's trimming near the peak. The CEO who builds the systems powering the AI boom just reduced his exposure while the market prices in more growth.

His position is small at 3% of holdings, but buying at the peak suggests he sees the construction cycle extending further.
