Mark Zuckerberg’s multibillion-dollar stock sale ground to a halt in the final months of 2018.

The Facebook Inc. co-founder didn’t sell a single share in the fourth quarter, when the social media company’s stock tumbled 20 percent amid a broader market rout. It’s the first quarter in more than two years he’s refrained from doing so, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
