Significance 5

AVT CFO Kenneth Jacobson sold 12,000 shares ($1.0M) at $85.26; holds 40,968 shares post-sale amid +27.6% 90-day gain.

Kenneth A Jacobson, AVT's Chief Financial Officer, sold 12,000 shares (22.7% of his pre-transaction holdings) for $1,023,120.00 on 2026-05-22 at $85.26. The stock has appreciated significantly in the trailing period: +13.6% over 30 days and +27.6% over 90 days, currently trading at $85.91 near its 52-week high of $87.46. His prior single open-market transaction at AVT was a buy on 2025-11-07, which returned +37.5% at the 90-day mark. However, this current sale comes after substantial recent gains, and the company's fundamentals show mixed signals: annual revenue has contracted 6.6% year-over-year, though the stock carries a elevated P/E of 32.92 relative to net income of $94.3M on $7.1B in quarterly revenue. The timing—selling after the stock has already captured significant upside—differs materially from his prior favorable entry pattern at this ticker.

Significance 5

CEO Philip R Gallagher sold 23,920 shares of AVT at $82.92 for $1,983,446.40; retains 168,923 shares post-sale.

Philip R Gallagher, CEO of Avnet Inc, sold 23,920 shares at $82.92 on 2026-05-05, reducing his non-derivative holdings by 12.4% to 168,923 shares. The sale occurred while the stock trades at $90.59, approximately 4.9% below its 52-week high of $95.26. His prior sales at Avnet have not demonstrated consistent well-timed execution: none of his 3 prior AVT sales resulted in negative 90-day returns (the marker of successful exit timing for sales), with 90-day outcomes of +27.4%, +2.2%, and +3.4% respectively. The company shows mixed fundamentals—$7.1B in latest-quarter revenue alongside -6.6% annual revenue growth and a P/E of 34.71—suggesting sector or operational headwinds despite the stock's recent 51.7% 90-day gain.

Significance 6

CEO Gallagher sells 46.1K AVT shares at $67.42 (at 52-week high); stock at peak following +42.6% 90-day rally.

GALLAGHER PHILIP R, Chief Executive Officer, sold 46,068 shares at $67.42, reducing his holdings from 214,991 to 168,923 shares (-21.4%). The sale occurred precisely at the 52-week high of $67.34 (transaction price $67.42), in the immediate aftermath of a substantial rally: the stock posted +31.1% over 30 days and +42.6% over 90 days prior to the transaction. His prior three sales at AVT (May 2024, May 2023) produced mixed 90-day returns: -4.2%, +3.4%, and +10.8%, with none meeting the threshold of negative return that would indicate well-timed selling. His cross-ticker track record across 3 prior sales shows an average 90-day return of +5.5%, a well-timed rate of 0.00%, and an average 30-day return of +5.5%, suggesting his sales historically have not preceded declines. The timing of this sale—at peak valuation in a stretched rally—presents a factual contrast to his historical selling pattern at this ticker and in aggregate, warranting examination of whether execution circumstances differ materially from prior periods.

Significance 5

SVP Michael Ryan sold 36,292 shares of AVT at $65.48; held 76,674 shares post-transaction, reducing stake 32.1%

McCoy Michael Ryan, SVP and General Counsel, sold 36,292 shares (36.3K shares) on 2026-02-17 at $65.48, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 76,674 shares (76.7K shares) from a pre-transaction position of 112,966 shares (113.0K shares). The sale represents a material reduction of 32.1% of his prior holdings, executed at a price near recent highs—just 1.9% below the 52-week high of $66.62. The transaction occurs in a context of strong recent price momentum: +28.6% over 30 days and +47.3% over 90 days. However, the company is navigating operational headwinds, with annual revenue declining 6.6% year-over-year, though the stock has recovered significantly from its 52-week low of $41.51. This substantial reduction in the General Counsel's stake warrants monitoring of company-specific developments that may have prompted the sale.

Significance 5

SVP/CIO Chan Leng Jin sold 9,226 shares of AVT at $61.53; retains 40,776 shares post-transaction

Chan Leng Jin executed a discretionary sale of 9,226 shares representing 18.5% of pre-transaction holdings, reducing his stake from 50,002 to 40,776 shares. The sale price of $61.53 occurred when the stock was trading 0.5% below its 52-week high of $63.31, within a 30-day uptrend of +27.7% and 90-day appreciation of +31.2%. Notably, AVNET's fundamentals show annual revenue declining 6.6% year-over-year despite a P/E of 24.90 and quarterly net income of $61.7M, signaling a disconnect between near-term price momentum and revenue trajectory. The substantial reduction in insider holdings by a senior technology executive (SVP, CIO) warrants attention given the company's negative revenue growth trend, though the executive retained a meaningful 40,776-share position indicating continued material ownership.

Significance 5

CFO Kenneth A Jacobson buys 2,139 shares of AVT at $46.75; holdings rise to 36,033 shares amid -6.6% revenue decline

Kenneth A Jacobson, the CFO, purchased 2,139 shares worth $99,998.25 at $46.75 on 2025-11-07, increasing his holdings from 33,894 to 36,033 shares. The transaction occurs against a backdrop of headwinds: Avnet's annual revenue contracted 6.6% year-over-year, the stock trades 17.6% below its 52-week high of $57.17, and the price has declined 4.9% over the past 30 days. The CFO's purchase of a meaningful position at a depressed relative valuation warrants attention, though the modest 6.3% increase in his personal holdings does not unambiguously indicate conviction about near-term upside given the operational revenue pressure.
