His cross-ticker track record on sells shows 0.00% well-timed rate with a +9.2% average 90-day return, meaning his prior open-market sales were followed by stock appreciation—poorly timed exits historically.

While fundamental metrics show the company growing at +4.5% annually with $2.1B quarterly revenue and a P/E of 48.81, the timing at the stock's 52-week high warrants observation of the post-transaction price trajectory relative to his historical execution patterns.
