Sohaib Abbasi has seen fluctuations in his stock holdings over the years. His most notable period was in 2021, when he made significant amounts through insider trading, including transactions worth $956.46K and $2.34M within the span of months. This suggests he had a lot of confidence in Informatica's stock performance at that time. Most of his substantial holdings came from stock options and performance awards that reflect his commitment to the company's future. There has also been a downward adjustment recently, with drops in value but in the past, his wealth was heavily tied to the company's performance. In total, he has accumulated thousands of shares throughout his tenure, underlining his investment in the company's long-term success.
