During his time at El Pollo Loco, Bernard Acoca's stock holdings saw considerable fluctuation. At one point, he had significant insider activities, with his stock holdings valued at around $5 million in early 2021. His financial moves indicated confidence in the company's direction, yet this value dipped to around $3 million by mid-2023. After his resignation in October 2021, all his unvested stocks, including about 61,728 options, were forfeited, reflecting the volatile nature of executive compensation in public companies. Notably, Acoca had amassed a wealth of over $4 million in stocks before his exit, but his abrupt withdrawal from the company meant that much of that equity never materialized into realized gains.
