15,000 shares

@ $91.26
Significance 5

Titleist Golf Clubs President Pelisek sold 15,000 shares at $91.26 avg; stock down -8.5% in 30 days, -13.0% in 90 days

Steven Francis Pelisek sold 15,000 shares (representing -17.5% vs pre-transaction holdings of 85,512 shares) on 2026-05-27 for $1,368,931.16 at a blended average price of $91.26, while GOLF has declined -8.5% over 30 days and -13.0% over 90 days from the transaction date. His same-ticker history shows 2 measurable prior sales at GOLF with mixed outcomes: one posted a 30d return of -2.3% and 90d return of +18.6%, while the other showed 30d return of -12.5% and 90d return of +0.3%, with 0 of 2 prior sells well-timed at the 90-day mark. The current stock price of $89.03 is -15.1% from the 52-week high of $104.81, and fundamentals show a P/E of 30.59 on revenue of $752,975,000.00 and net income of $81,416,000.00. This sale occurs against a backdrop of recent price weakness but lacks a clear pattern of well-timed exits in his same-ticker trading history.

@ $85.00
Significance 4

Lindner (FootJoy President) sold 6,500 GOLF shares at $85.00; stock near 52-week high (+7.5% in 30d).

Lindner sold 6,500 shares on 2025-12-15 at $85.00, reducing holdings by 7.2% to 83,221 shares, at a price -0.2% from the 52-week high of $85.54. The stock has appreciated +7.5% over the past 30 days and +15.5% over 90 days, placing this sale near a local peak. His cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior sales that generated positive average returns (+1.5% at 30 days, +4.8% at 90 days), with a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating he has not historically sold ahead of declines. At GOLF specifically, his 2 measurable prior sales (May 2025) captured gains of +2.0% and +1.1% at 30 days, but neither was well-timed at the 90-day mark (both were followed by further gains). The current sale follows a sustained rally and occurs at an elevated valuation (P/E 22.52).

20,000 shares

@ $84.66
Significance 4

Titleist Golf Clubs president sells 20,000 GOLF shares at $84.66; holds 76,006 post-sale at stock hitting 52-week high

President Pelisek sold 20,000 shares (20.8% of pre-transaction holdings) at $84.66 on 2025-11-25, reducing his stake from 96,006 to 76,006 shares. The sale occurred as the stock reached its 52-week high of $84.52 (transaction price $84.66 is at the peak of the 52-week range). His prior two sales at Acushnet—including one on 2025-03-10 with a subsequent +0.3% 90-day return—did not exhibit favorable timing; the 2025-03-10 sale was followed by modest gains rather than declines. With Acushnet trading at a P/E of 22.30 and recent quarterly net income of $48.5M on $657.7M revenue (+3.2% annual growth), the company remains operationally sound, though this sale occurs near the stock's technical ceiling for the year.

@ $79.54
Significance 6

GOLF CEO sells 51,460 shares for $4.1M across 5 transactions at $79.32–$80.80, retaining 852,091 shares post-sale

Maher David Eugene, President and CEO, executed 5 separate sales totaling 51,460 shares for $4,093,112.37 at an average price of $79.54, reducing his stake by 5.7% to 852,091 shares. The blended transaction prices ($79.25–$80.80) occurred near the 52-week high of $84.40 but 7.1% above the current price of $78.43, suggesting the sales executed while the stock was elevated. His prior trades at Acushnet show mixed timing outcomes: 3 of 4 prior GOLF sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark with negative returns, but the cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -1.3% after sells with a 75% well-timed rate. The filing does not indicate a 10b5-1 plan or forced liquidation, making this a discretionary open-market transaction by the CEO during a period when the stock trades 0.1% above its 90-day average and with fundamentals showing P/E of 20.69 and +3.2% annual revenue growth. The scale of the sale—$4.1M—is material but the CEO retains substantial holdings, consistent with partial portfolio action rather than full exit.

Significance 4

GOLF President Bohn sells 13,190 shares at $78.85; holds 191,785 shares post-sale. Pattern: 4 prior GOLF sales, 0 well-timed at 90-day mark.

Mary Louise Bohn, President-Titleist Golf Balls, sold 13,190 shares of Acushnet Holdings for $1,040,085.58 on 2025-08-14, reducing her stake to 191,785 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high (transaction price $78.85 vs 52-week high $84.40), with the stock currently at $78.19. Her prior timing outcomes at this ticker have been consistently unfavorable: across 4 prior GOLF sales, none were well-timed—meaning the stock rose in the 90-day periods following each prior sale. Against a broad market backdrop of modest 90-day upside (+8.5%), her historical difficulty timing sales at this ticker stands out. The company's fundamentals remain solid (P/E 19.95, 3.2% annual revenue growth, net income $75.6M), offering no distress signal.

Significance 6

Misto Holdings (Director) sold 953.4K GOLF shares at $65.56; holds 29.52M post-sale as stock up 7.3% in 30d.

Misto Holdings sold 953,406 shares for $62,508,443.60, reducing holdings by 3.1% while retaining a substantial 29.52M-share position. The sale occurred at $65.56, which was below the current price of $78.02 and below the 52-week high of $78.25, suggesting the insider sold into strength but not at absolute peak valuations. The stock has appreciated 7.3% in the 30 days following the transaction and 26.4% over 90 days. Against his SAME-TICKER HISTORY at GOLF (4 prior trades), only 1 of 4 prior sells showed negative 90-day returns, indicating a mixed track record of timing at this specific ticker. The company trades at a P/E of 20.32 with $703.4M quarterly revenue and $99.4M net income, suggesting stable operational performance. The sale represents a large-dollar transaction from a significant shareholder but does not signal exit of the position.

Significance 4

FootJoy President Lindner sells 12,500 shares at $71.35 avg, reducing stake by 12.2% to 89.7K shares

Lindner Christopher Aaron, President of FootJoy at Acushnet Holdings, executed 2 separate sales on 2025-05-12 totaling 12,500 shares (12.5K shares) for $891,927.00 ($891.9K) at a blended average price of $71.35, reducing his holdings from 102,221 shares (102.2K shares) to 89,721 shares (89.7K shares)—a net reduction of 12.2% of his prior position. The current stock price stands at $70.20, 7.4% below the 52-week high and having rallied 13.8% over the past 30 days. His track record across all tickers shows 1 prior sell with a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00%, and his single prior GOLF transaction in December 2023 resulted in a 90-day decline of -0.3%, consistent with well-timed exit timing. The company's fundamentals remain solid with $703.4M in latest quarterly revenue, $99.4M net income, 3.2% annual revenue growth, and a reasonable P/E of 18.28 at a $4.1B market cap.

Significance 6

Misto Holdings Corp. (GOLF director) sold 935,907 shares at $66.78 on 2025-04-10 for $62.5M, reducing stake to 30.48M shares.

Misto Holdings, a major director-level shareholder, divested 935,907 shares representing a -3.0% reduction in its 31.41M-share holding. The sale at $66.78 occurred as GOLF has since declined to $60.86 (currently -19.7% from its 52-week high and -11.1% over the prior 30 days), positioning this sale ahead of recent weakness. Across the insider's cross-ticker track record, prior sales have shown a 90d well-timed rate of 33.33%, but at GOLF specifically, the timing pattern is mixed: 1 of 3 prior sells at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The company's fundamentals remain intact (P/E 17.85, $620.5M quarterly revenue, net income $56.2M), suggesting the sale reflects portfolio allocation rather than disclosed material concerns.

Acushnet President Pelisek sold 20,000 GOLF shares at $70.86 on 2025-03-10 for $1.4M; stock now down 9.6% from 52-week high.

Pelisek sold 20,000 shares (17.2% reduction of his 116.0K pre-transaction holdings) at $70.86, reducing his position to 96.0K shares. The stock has since declined to $68.48, off 9.6% from the 52-week high of $75.78, though up 6.1% over the prior 30 days. Acushnet's fundamentals show revenue of $620.5M and net income of $56.2M (latest quarter), with 3.2% annual revenue growth and a P/E of 20.08. Examining his prior open-market sell at this ticker (2023-11-22), that transaction was followed by +10.5% at 30 days and +18.2% at 90 days—indicating the stock rose after he sold, a poorly-timed outcome. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell with a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, signaling no pattern of selling into declines.

Significance 4

Acushnet CEO Maher sells 27,249 shares across 2 transactions for $1,885,346.63 (avg $69.19)

Maher David Eugene, President and CEO of Acushnet Holdings Corp. (GOLF), executed 2 separate sales totaling 27,249 shares for $1,885,346.63 on 2024-11-13 and 2024-11-14 at blended average price $69.19, reducing his holdings from 831,277 to 804,028 shares (-3.3%). The sales occurred within 4.8% of the company's 52-week high of $72.78, and the stock currently trades at $69.31, essentially flat to the transaction prices. Examining Maher's track record at Acushnet specifically: his 2 prior open-market sales at this ticker in August 2023 generated 30-day returns of -0.2% and -1.2%, with 90-day returns of +0.7% and -2.8% (1 of 2 well-timed at the 90-day mark). Cross-ticker, his 2 prior sells averaged 30-day return of -0.7% and 90-day return of -1.0%, with a 50.00% well-timed rate. The current sales come during a period of positive momentum (30-day +7.3%, 90-day +4.2%), at elevated valuation multiples (P/E 22.36), and represent a modest reduction in an already substantial 804K-share post-transaction holding.
