WASHINGTON, May 1, 2026 — **Charter CEO Chris Winfrey** is buying the dip. 

In April 28 [filings](https://ir.charter.com/static-files/db04d3d4-cdd3-463d-abfd-5bb843ae385c?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Winfrey said he paid nearly **$1.2 million for 6,936 Charter shares at about $172 per share.** [Half of the transaction](https://www.stocktitan.net/sec-filings/CHTR/form-4-charter-communications-inc-mo-insider-trading-activity-d3dd0dd5d1f5.html?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) was by his spouse. 

The stock buys looked like spontaneous, opportunistic moves as the filings did not say the trades were scheduled events.
