Over the past year there were no insider purchases at Cheesecake Factory Inc. Nine insiders sold roughly $30.1 million instead.
Selling on its own is common and often pre-planned (10b5-1 plans, taxes, diversification), so it matters more when it is unusually heavy or broad.
Big money check: 343 institutions held CAKE as of Q2 2026, and funds were split between buying and selling. 3 quarters in a row of net selling by insiders. Insiders bought in 0 of the last 7 full quarters.
