ROK ROCKWELL AUTOMATION, INC Insider Trading

ROK controller executes stock options and sells shares in net disposition after recent price strength; mixed track record on prior exits.

Terry L. Riesterer, Vice President and Controller at Rockwell Automation, executed option exercises totaling roughly 3,800 shares while simultaneously disposing of approximately 4,000 shares, resulting in a net reduction of about 200 shares. This marks a significant departure from his filing history: across the prior three-year window, Riesterer completed 22 open-market sales but zero open-market purchases, making these exercises his first new-share acquisitions on record. The timing is notable—the stock has rallied considerably in recent weeks and currently trades just below its fifty-two-week high, a position where insiders historically tend to reduce holdings rather than add to them. Riesterer's prior four sales at this ticker show mixed timing results: one exit (most recently in mid-2025) saw the stock decline afterward, but the other three saw subsequent gains, indicating he has not consistently sold into strength. The company remains profitable with robust revenue growth, yet the net disposition here—particularly at elevated price levels—suggests caution rather than accumulation conviction.

Rockwell CIO buys $890K of ROK shares while selling $1.13M in same day—mixed signal at stock's 52-week highs.

Christopher Nardecchia, Rockwell's Chief Information Officer, executed a mixed trade on the same day: purchasing shares while simultaneously selling a larger amount. The net effect was a sale, with total selling exceeding buying by roughly $243K. What makes this noteworthy is the timing against price context—the stock is trading at its 52-week highs following a sharp rally, an environment where insider buying is rare (insiders typically add shares during pullbacks, not peaks). Nardecchia's prior recorded trade was a sale roughly two months earlier, suggesting he may be taking profits after recent gains rather than signaling conviction in further upside. The company is profitable with solid revenue growth, but trades at an elevated valuation multiple, which may also explain why a senior technologist is pruning rather than adding to his position at current levels.

SVP/Chief Supply Chain Officer sold 8,932 shares for $3,563,145.59 via pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan on 2026-03-02

Robert L. Buttermore, serving as SVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer at Rockwell Automation, executed 7 separate sales totaling 8,932 shares for $3,563,145.59 at a blended average price of $398.92. The sales reduced his holdings from 11,810 shares to 2,878 shares, representing a 75.6% reduction in his post-transaction position. This transaction was executed pursuant to a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning the sale timing and quantity were established in advance and not subject to discretionary decision-making. As a scheduled transaction under a trading plan, this sale reflects predetermined portfolio execution rather than a responsive market signal.

ROK CIO Nardecchia sold 14,465 shares (50.4% reduction) at $410.01 for $5.9M on 2026-02-26

Nardecchia reduced his ROK position by exactly 50.4%, selling 14,465 shares at $410.01 for a total of $5,930,806.22. The sale occurred near the 52-week high (stock at $430.31), with the current price at $407.45 representing a -5.3% move from peak. The transaction brings his holdings from 28,697 shares down to 14,232 shares, leaving him with a material position. At a P/E of 46.25 and single-digit annual revenue growth of +0.9%, ROK trades at a premium multiple despite modest fundamental expansion, and this sizable liquidation by a C-level technology leader warrants examination of whether the timing reflects confidence in near-term valuation or independent of market considerations.

ROK CRO Scott Genereux executes 8 sales totaling 17,407 shares for $7,043,125.92 via 10b5-1 plan

Scott Genereux, Sr.VP and Chief Revenue Officer at Rockwell Automation, sold 17,407 shares for $7,043,125.92 across 8 separate transactions on 2026-02-25, reducing his holdings from 20,721 shares to 3,314 shares. This represents a 84.0% reduction in his post-transaction holdings and was executed through a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning the sales were scheduled rather than discretionary. The blended average price across all transactions was $404.61, with individual transaction prices ranging from $402.16 to $409.37. As a high-ranking executive divesting a significant portion of equity position through a structured trading plan, this filing warrants investor attention to understand the underlying plan mechanics and any broader capital allocation context.

SVP/CLO Rebecca House sells 12.1K ROK shares for $4.9M across 7 transactions on 2026-02-25

Rebecca House, SVP, CLO and Secretary of Rockwell Automation, executed 7 separate sales totaling 12,100 shares for $4,891,715.92 on 2026-02-25, reducing her holdings by 49.8% from 24,300 to 12,200 shares. The sales occurred across a narrow price band ($401.96 to $408.00), with a blended average price of $404.27, slightly below the current price of $407.45. Her prior five sales at ROK (conducted in December 2025) showed modest positive 30-day returns averaging around 2.1%, though the 90-day outcome pattern at this specific ticker remains incomplete. The substantial reduction in her ownership stake merits investor attention to any concurrent company developments or forward guidance, as a C-suite officer's decision to divest half her holding may signal shifting conviction levels regarding near-term performance.

VP & Treasurer Woods Isaac sold 1,271 shares at blended avg $405.69 for $515,628.22 at Rockwell Automation

Woods Isaac executed 5 separate sales totaling 1,271 shares for $515,628.22 on 2026-02-25, reducing his holdings by 43.0% from 2,958 shares to 1,687 shares. The transaction prices ranged from $402.35 to $409.37, near the current price of $407.45 and close to the 52-week high of $430.31. As a Vice President and Treasurer, Isaac's substantial reduction in his equity stake warrants investor monitoring, particularly given ROK's valuation context (P/E of 46.25) and the company's modest annual revenue growth of 0.9%. The timing and scale of the disposition relative to his pre-transaction holdings should be tracked in conjunction with any future disclosures and company performance trends.

Sr.VP CRO GENEREUX SCOTT sells 1,654 shares ($664.6K) at ROK in 6 trades over 2 days, retaining 4,514 shares

GENEREUX SCOTT, Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer, executed 6 separate sales totaling 1,654 shares for $664,640.05 across December 8–10, 2025, at prices ranging from $400.69 to $403.77, reducing his holdings by 26.8% from 6,168 shares to 4,514 shares. The current stock price of $410.23 is at the 52-week high (+0.0%), having advanced 4.8% over 30 days and 17.0% over 90 days. His prior two sales at ROK (March 3 and February 28, 2025) each showed positive 90-day returns (+8.8% and +10.3% respectively), meaning both prior sells were followed by stock appreciation—a pattern of consistently missing rallies. This latest sale occurs near the 52-week peak, though the broader 90-day uptrend offers no clear signal of deteriorating conviction at current price levels.

ROK CEO Blake Moret sells 7,231 shares for $2.9M across two trading days in early December at blended avg $401.79.

Blake Moret, President and CEO of Rockwell Automation, executed 7 separate sales totaling 7,231 shares for $2,905,315.68 between December 8 and December 10, 2025, at prices ranging from $400.72 to $403.71—near the stock's current price of $410.23. This represents a -7.1% reduction in his 101,816-share pre-transaction position, leaving him with 94,585 shares post-sale. The stock closed December 8 and 10 at elevated levels within its 52-week range ($218.97–$410.23 high), and has gained +4.8% over 30 days and +17.0% over 90 days prior to these sales. His cross-ticker track record of 20 prior open-market sells shows an average 90-day return of -3.9% with a 93.33% well-timed rate, though his same-ticker history at ROK (5 prior sales, all in November–early December) shows mixed recent results: three November sales exhibited +3.0% to +3.5% 30-day returns, while two December 5 sales remain unmeasurable. The company trades at a P/E of 51.93 on $2.1B latest-quarter revenue and $295.0M net income, a relatively elevated valuation multiple. This multi-day, multi-tranche sale occurs against a backdrop of strong recent price momentum and warrants observation of whether the executive's historical tendency toward well-timed sells (cross-ticker) extends to his ROK holdings as additional data accumulates.

ROK SVP/CLO Rebecca W House sells 2,049 shares across 6 transactions (Dec 8–10, 2025) for $823,435.25; 30d +4.8%, near 52-week high.

Rebecca W House, SVP, CLO and Secretary of Rockwell Automation, executed 6 separate sales totaling 2,049 shares for $823,435.25 over two trading days, reducing her holdings by 14.4% to 12,200 shares post-transaction. The blended average sale price of $401.87 occurred while the stock was trading at $410.23 (current), near its 52-week high of $410.23, with the stock up 4.8% over 30 days and 17.0% over 90 days. Across her same-ticker history at ROK, her prior 5 sells showed mixed timing: the most recent three (May 2025) posted strong 30-day returns of 6.4%–9.9%, while two earlier February 2024 sales saw modest 30-day gains but negative 90-day returns; only 2 of 5 prior ROK sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The current sale volume and timing relative to recent price momentum and proximity to a 52-week high merit observation, though the company's 51.93 P/E and flat annual revenue growth (+0.9%) warrant independent fundamental assessment.
