Butier Mitchell R Sell
33,000 shares
$5,707,209
@ $172.95
Significance 6/10

Director Butier Mitchell R sold 33,000 shares at Avery Dennison (AVY) for $5.7M over two days (2026-03-11/12), reducing stake by 14.3%.

Butier Mitchell R executed 8 separate sales totaling 33,000 shares for $5,707,208.74 at blended average price $172.95, reducing his holdings from 231,147 shares to 198,147 shares. The timing of this large, multi-tranche liquidation — executed over March 11–12 at prices ranging from $169.71 to $174.53 — occurs as the stock trades near recent weakness: current price $170.77 is -13.5% from the 52-week high of $197.45 and -11.4% over the prior 30 days. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% well-timed rate on 20 prior sells with average 90-day return of -3.6%, but at AVY specifically, his 5 most recent trades (including sales on 2026-03-09 and 2026-03-10) lack measurable 30- and 90-day outcomes, making assessment of this ticker-specific pattern premature. The scale of the sale—14.3% of prior holdings—and its execution across a narrow price band during a period of stock underperformance relative to recent highs merit investor attention to any accompanying disclosures or forward guidance.

$7,032,278
@ $175.81
Significance 5/10

AVY director Butier Mitchell R sold 40,000 shares for $7.0M across 8 transactions on 2026-03-09/10 at blended avg $175.81

The stock is down -7.9% in the past 30 days and -3.9% in the past 90 days. Across his cross-ticker trading history, Mitchell has demonstrated strong timing discipline with a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00% on 20 prior sells (average 90-day return -6.0%), suggesting consistent pattern recognition of price peaks, though same-ticker outcomes at Avery Dennison remain immeasurable due to recent date.

Butier Mitchell R Sell
40,000 shares
$7,276,841
@ $181.92
Significance 7/10

Director Butier Mitchell R sold 40,000 shares at $181.92 avg for $7.3M (Mar 5–6), reducing stake by 12.9% to 271.1K shares.

Butier Mitchell R executed 7 separate sales totaling 40,000 shares for $7,276,840.76 across two trading days (2026-03-05 to 2026-03-06) at prices ranging from $179.03 to $186.51, with a blended average of $181.92. This represents a 12.9% reduction in his holdings, and the transaction prices exceed the current price of $176.47, indicating the director liquidated a significant portion of his stake above recent market levels. His cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 100% across 20 prior sells, though same-ticker measurable history at AVY is limited (only 1 prior sale with a 90-day return of -2.0%). The stock is currently -10.6% from its 52-week high and has declined 7.8% over the past 30 days, suggesting the sales occurred near a local peak in the stock's recent range.

Butier Mitchell R Sell
Executive Chairman
12,969 shares
$2,358,387
@ $181.85
Significance 6/10

Executive Chairman Mitchell R Butier sells 12,969 shares of Avery Dennison (AVY) for $2,358,387.33

Butier executed 3 separate sales on 2025-03-06 totaling 12,969 shares for $2,358,387.33 at blended average price $181.85, reducing his holdings from 316,300 to 303,331 shares (-4.1%). His prior trades at AVY show a consistent pattern: all 4 measurable sells generated negative 90-day returns (-1.9% to -8.7%), indicating well-timed exits ahead of stock declines. At the time of this filing, the stock trades at $183.94, up modestly from the transaction prices, while remaining -19.9% from its 52-week high of $229.52. Across his broader open-market track record (20 prior cross-ticker sells), his 90-day well-timed rate stands at 100%, suggesting a demonstrated ability to identify unfavorable entry points for sellers. The timing of this transaction—occurring just 3 days after another AVY sale on 2025-03-03—warrants attention as part of ongoing capital deployment at the ticker.

Notably, Butier executed four prior sells at AVY on August 20–21, suggesting sustained disposition activity over consecutive trading days. With Avery Dennison facing -7.5% annual revenue growth and a P/E of 27.85, the timing and scale of these dispositions warrant investor monitoring of executive confidence signals and any forward guidance that may follow.

Executive Chairman
20,000 shares
$4,248,052
@ $212.40
Significance 5/10

Avery Dennison Executive Chairman Butier Mitchell R sold 20,000 shares (20.0K shares) for $4,248,051.59 ($4.2M) across five trades dated 2024-08-16 and 2024-08-19.

Butier executed five separate sales totaling 20,000 shares for $4.2M at an average blended price of $212.40, reducing his stake by 6.2% to 304.1K shares remaining. The timing spans August 16–19, 2024, at prices near the 52-week high of $229.52 (current price $212.33 is -7.5% from that peak). The company faces headwinds: annual revenue declined 7.5% year-over-year, with the latest quarter at $2.2B and net income at $176.8M, while the P/E of 27.12 reflects a relatively premium valuation. Prior sales by this insider at AVY have not yet produced measurable 30- or 90-day outcomes. The magnitude (6.2% reduction in holdings) and multi-tranche execution pattern across a two-day window warrant attention to whether this signals a planned liquidity event or response to recent stock performance.
