Significance 7

Brady Corp President & CEO Vineet A Nargolwala bought 13,011 shares ($1.0M) on 2026-06-10; stock -20.0% from 52-week high

Vineet A Nargolwala, who was President & CEO at the time, purchased 13,011 shares at $76.86, representing a 19.9% increase in his post-transaction holdings to 78,393 shares. The purchase occurred when Brady Corp's stock was trading at -20.0% from its 52-week high of $99.28, despite the company's strong fundamentals: revenue of $435.2M (latest quarter), net income of $57.8M, and annual revenue growth of +12.8%. Nargolwala's cross-ticker track record shows 4 prior open-market buys averaging a 90-day return of +15.5% with a 100.00% win rate, providing context for his buying activity, though this outcome data spans all tickers rather than Brady Corp specifically. The timing of a significant stake increase by then-CEO during a 20% drawdown from the yearly peak merits observation of whether the stock can recover to prior highs.

Significance 5

Brady Corp CEO Shaller Russell sold 17,130 shares at $81.25 for $1,391,812.50, reducing holdings by 10.8%

Shaller Russell executed a material open-market sale of 17,130 shares at $81.25, reducing his position in Brady Corp from 158,551 to 141,421 shares. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high ($82.75), with the current price now at $79.99, suggesting the insider sold into strength. Russell's prior sales at this ticker show mixed timing outcomes—two recent September 2025 sales have registered negative 30-day returns of -6.5% and -5.7%, while his cross-ticker track record across all open-market activity shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating poor historical precision in choosing exit points. The company fundamentals remain solid (revenue $405,287,000.00 with annual growth of +12.8% and net income of $53,936,000.00), providing no obvious operational distress signal, though the size of the sale relative to total holdings warrants monitoring for any pattern of further reductions.

Brady Corp General Counsel Gorman sold 12,528 shares at $80.01 for $1,002,365.28 on 2025-11-25

Andrew Gorman, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, executed 2 separate sales totaling 12,528 shares for $1,002,365.28 at an average price of $80.01 on 2025-11-25, reducing his holdings by 47.0% to 14,153 shares post-transaction. The transaction occurred near the 52-week high (current price $79.99 is 3.3% below the $82.75 peak), and his prior open-market sales at Brady Corp (1 prior trade) showed positive 90-day returns of +2.5%, indicating poorly-timed execution in that instance. The company's fundamentals show solid performance with $405.3M in latest quarterly revenue, $53.9M net income, and annual revenue growth of +12.8%, providing no obvious operational distress signal to explain the substantial position reduction.

Significance 5

Brady Corp President EMEA/Australia Wilms Brett sold 10,894 shares for $810,970.54 on 2025-11-19, reducing holdings 58.7%

Wilms Brett executed 4 separate sales totaling 10,894 shares for $810,970.54 on 2025-11-19, with a blended average price of $74.44. This represents a substantial reduction in his holdings from 18,566 shares to 7,672 shares—a 58.7% decrease. The transaction occurred near the stock's recent trading range, with the current price at $77.72 positioned 6.1% below the 52-week high of $82.75. Brady Corp's fundamentals show solid momentum: revenue of $405,287,000.00 in the latest quarter and annual revenue growth of 12.8%, alongside net income of $53,936,000.00. The significant scale of this divestiture—selling more than half of his holdings in a single day—is the primary data point for investors to track, as it represents a material change in executive share ownership at a company with demonstrable financial growth.

Director BRUNO ELIZABETH P sold 23,705 shares (23.7K) for $1,771,011.22 at BRC on 2025-11-19

Director BRUNO ELIZABETH P executed two separate sales totaling 23,705 shares for $1,771,011.22 on 2025-11-19, reducing holdings from 598,705 shares to 575,000 shares, a net reduction of 4.0%. The blended average sale price of $74.71 compares to the current price of $77.72, representing a value decline of $3.01 per share post-transaction. Her prior sales at BRC (three trades in March 2024) showed no instances of well-timed exits: all three subsequent 90-day periods returned positive results (11.3% to 13.8%), indicating the stock rose after her prior sells. The company reported quarterly revenue of $405,287,000.00 with net income of $53,936,000.00 and annual revenue growth of +12.8%, showing fundamental momentum. Without additional FLAG information indicating a pre-planned trading program, the sale timing relative to positive fundamentals and her historical pattern of selling ahead of gains merits investor attention.

BRC President & CEO Shaller Russell sold 23,743 shares for $1,901,006.72 on 2025-09-18 near 52-week highs ($80.07 blended avg vs $82.75 high).

Shaller Russell executed 2 separate sales totaling 23,743 shares for $1,901,006.72 at prices ($80.64 and $80.00) near the stock's 52-week high of $82.75, reducing his holdings by 14.9% from 158,823 to 135,080 shares. The transaction occurred after a sharp 20.1% 90-day rally, during a period when Brady Corp is posting solid fundamentals (revenue growth of 12.8% year-over-year with $52.3M net income in the latest quarter). However, his prior 2 sales at BRC (September 2024) yielded mixed results, with neither sale proving well-timed at the 90-day mark, suggesting this insider's recent exit decisions at this ticker have lacked predictive power regarding forward price direction. The sales are open-market dispositions with no scheduled-trade indication, leaving the decision to exit a significant stake during a strong valuation moment available for investor interpretation.

Significance 5

Brady CEO Shaller Russell sold 21,128 shares at $75.30 for $1,590,938.40 on 2024-09-27, reducing holdings by 17.1%.

Shaller Russell, President & CEO of Brady Corp, executed a discretionary open-market sale of 21,128 shares valued at $1,590,938.40, reducing his holdings from 123,278 to 102,150 shares. The sale occurred at $75.30, only 1.7% below the current 52-week high of $76.63, and follows a recent prior sale at the same ticker on 2024-09-13 (14 days earlier). Russell's cross-ticker track record shows only 1 prior sell in open-market history, making this part of an emerging pattern of sales at Brady Corp specifically. The company's fundamentals show modest performance with annual revenue growth of only +0.7% and stable net income of $50.9M on revenue of $343.4M, suggesting a mature, slow-growth business backdrop for executive stock reduction activity.

Significance 4

General Counsel Andrew Gorman sold 8,736 shares of BRC at $74.10, reducing holdings by 46.3% to 10,140 shares.

Andrew Gorman, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Brady Corp, executed a single sale of 8,736 shares at $74.10 on September 18, 2024, generating $647,337.60 in proceeds. This transaction reduced his holdings from 18,876 shares to 10,140 shares—a -46.3% reduction in his position, representing a substantial disposition rather than a minor adjustment. The sale occurred at $74.10 while the stock currently trades at $74.63 (at the 52-week high), with the stock up 4.8% over 30 days and 12.8% over 90 days, and Brady Corp posting 0.7% annual revenue growth with $50.9M in net income on $343.4M in quarterly revenue. The magnitude of the reduction—nearly half his prior holdings—is the primary data point that distinguishes this filing from routine portfolio activity and merits investor attention.

Significance 5

CEO Shaller Russell sold 12,547 shares of BRC at $73.08; holds 102,905 shares post-sale as stock approaches 52-week high of $74.60.

President & CEO Shaller Russell executed a sale of 12,547 shares at $73.08, reducing his holdings from 115,452 shares to 102,905 shares. The transaction occurred when the stock was trading near its 52-week high of $74.60, having rallied 12.1% over the prior 90 days. Russell retains meaningful equity ownership at 102,905 shares post-transaction. Brady Corp reported latest quarterly revenue of $343.4M with net income of $50.9M, though annual growth remains modest at 0.7%. The sale represents a discrete equity reduction by the CEO at elevated price levels, which investors should evaluate in context of the company's modest near-term growth trajectory.
