SVP & General Counsel Stephen J Beaver sold 20,000 shares of BHE at $86.25 under 10b5-1 plan; stock now at $88.99

Stephen J Beaver, SVP, General Counsel and CLO, sold 20,000 shares at $86.25 on 2026-06-11, reducing his holdings from 95,020 shares to 75,020 shares. This transaction was executed under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning it was scheduled rather than discretionary. The stock has since appreciated to $88.99, trading near its 52-week high of $89.40. Given the mechanical nature of the 10b5-1 execution, the sale reflects a predetermined schedule rather than any particular signal about company prospects or valuation. Investors should note the sale reduces his post-transaction holdings to 75,020 shares, while the company trades at a P/E of 93.67 against modest annual revenue growth of 0.1%.

BHE CEO David Moezidis sells 12,500 shares at $87.57 via scheduled 10b5-1 plan; retains 85,564 shares post-sale

David Moezidis, President and CEO, sold 12,500 shares at $87.57 for $1,094,625.00 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan on 2026-05-26. This scheduled transaction reduced his holding from 98,064 shares to 85,564 shares, a -12.7% decrease. Because this trade is part of a 10b5-1 plan, it reflects a previously established schedule rather than a discretionary market decision at this moment. The company's latest quarterly revenue is $677,280,000.00 with net income of $13,023,000.00, and annual revenue growth stands at +0.1%—indicating flat year-over-year performance. The CEO's continued substantial ownership of 85,564 shares after the sale suggests ongoing material investment in the company.

Director David W Scheible sells 22,989 shares of BHE for $1,954,065.00; holds 62,057 shares post-transaction

Director David W Scheible sold 22,989 shares at $85.00 on 2026-05-13, reducing his stake from 85,046 shares to 62,057 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $87.73, with the stock up 35.3% over 30 days and 42.3% over 90 days, suggesting the sale took place during a period of strong recent price appreciation. The company's valuation metrics are elevated, with a P/E of 88.71 and minimal revenue growth of 0.1% year-over-year, which contrasts with the stock's strong momentum. This transaction represents a discretionary reduction of insider holdings during a period of significant price run-up.

Significance 5

Director Kenneth Lamneck sells ~34% of holdings; stock near 52-week highs after strong recent gains.

Kenneth Lamneck, a director of Benchmark Electronics, sold a substantial portion of his stake on a single day, reducing his holdings by about one-third. The timing is noteworthy: the stock is trading near its 52-week high after rallying significantly over the past three months, suggesting Lamneck sold into strength rather than weakness. This is his first open-market sale in the past three years, with his prior activity limited to stock-based compensation transactions. The company itself remains profitable with modest revenue growth and trades at a stretched valuation multiple, but that financial profile does not explain the timing of this particular director's exit. Whether this reflects personal capital needs, rebalancing after the recent run-up, or other considerations remains unclear from the filing alone.

Significance 5

CEO Benck Jeff sold 9,066 shares of BHE at $60.40 on 2026-02-24, reducing holdings to 361,433 shares.

CEO Benck Jeff sold 9,066 shares (−2.4% of pre-transaction holdings) at $60.40 on 2026-02-24, exiting near the 52-week high of $60.36. The stock has appreciated significantly in recent months (+20.8% over 30 days, +31.7% over 90 days), and this sale follows two prior sales at BHE in January 2026. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% well-timed sell rate across 4 prior open-market sales (with negative average 90-day returns), though his same-ticker history at BHE is limited to one measurable outcome (a 2024-11-05 sale with a +5.4% 30-day return and −10.4% 90-day return). The company's valuation metrics show a high P/E of 85.77 against modest fundamentals: $680.7M quarterly revenue with only $14.3M net income and just +0.1% annual revenue growth. This execution near a 52-week peak, in the context of strong recent price momentum and elevated multiples, represents a modest reallocation by the CEO.

CEO Jeff Benck sold 25,000 shares (25.0K shares) at $58.19 on 2026-02-06, reducing his holdings from 423,180 shares to 398,180 shares, a -5.9% reduction. The sale occurred as BHE trades at $58.93 current price, at the 52-week high, and follows a 30-day gain of +28.2% and 90-day gain of +36.4%. His cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00%, though his same-ticker history at BHE includes 2 recent sales on 2026-01-21 and 2026-01-20 with outcomes not yet measurable. Underlying fundamentals are pressured: annual revenue growth is -6.4%, the P/E ratio is elevated at 56.12, and net income of $14.3M is modest relative to revenue of $680.7M, suggesting tight margins.

CEO Jeff Benck executed two separate sales totaling 15,000 shares on 2026-01-20 and 2026-01-21 at blended average price $50.24, generating proceeds of $753,576.00. The sale reduced his post-transaction holdings to 423.2K shares, a -3.4% reduction from his prior 438.2K share position.

The CEO's prior sell at BHE on 2024-11-05 showed a 90-day return of -10.4%, representing a well-timed exit. Fundamentals show revenue of $680.7M and net income of $14.3M in the latest quarter, though annual revenue has declined -6.4% year-over-year, and the company trades at a P/E of 48.61 relative to a $1.8B market cap.

Significance 5

BHE CEO Benck Jeff sold 24,000 shares at $45.90 on 2024-11-05; stock up 19.2% in 30 days, trading near 52-week high of $51.42.

CEO Jeff Benck sold 24,000 shares (5.4% of pre-transaction holdings) at $45.90, reducing his stake from 448,173 to 424,173 shares. The stock has appreciated significantly since the sale date, rising 19.2% over 30 days and currently trading at $51.42, matching the 52-week high. This sale occurred after substantial recent momentum and leaves Benck with material direct ownership (424,173 shares), indicating continued financial alignment with the company. The transaction warrants examination of whether it reflects a one-time capital event or signals a shift in conviction, but the incomplete picture (no scheduled trading plan disclosure in FACTS, no prior track record data) limits definitive inference about motivation.
