Tempus AI CEO sold shares five days before calling Q3 a record
As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on November 2, 2026.
Q3 was another record quarter, as we delivered $411.5 million of revenue, led by accelerating unit growth of 32% in our oncology business and increasing momentum of 33% revenue growth in Data & Applications.

Eric Lefkofsky, CEO and Chairman of Tempus AI, filed a Form 4 disclosing a sale of shares on October 29, five days before he publicly declared Q3 a record quarter for the company. The sale came ahead of the good news reaching the market.
In his earnings remarks, Lefkofsky pointed to $411.5 million in Q3 revenue, with oncology and Data and Applications both growing. Those are the numbers he was sitting on when he trimmed his position.

Insider sales ahead of strong results are not unusual at founder-led companies, where executives often sell on a pre-set schedule or to cover personal financial needs rather than as a signal about the business. That context does not make the timing irrelevant, only incomplete.
What investors should weigh is that the CEO was reducing his stake into the same period of strength he later described as record-setting. Anyone holding or considering a position in Tempus AI would do well to keep an eye on whether further Form 4 filings follow in the weeks ahead.
