Vice Chairman

Significance 6/10

Vice Chairman VanWees sells 7,500 TDY shares for $4.7M on 2026-02-03, reducing holdings by 73.9% to 2,643 shares.

Jason VanWees executed 4 separate sales totaling 7,500 shares for $4,730,783.42 at prices between $630.39 and $631.39 on February 3, 2026, reducing his TDY holdings by 73.9% from 10,143 to 2,643 shares. The transaction prices ($630.77 blended average) are near the current price of $629.73 and within 1.7% of the 52-week high of $640.42, suggesting the sales occurred at elevated valuation. His prior 4 sells at this ticker show mixed timing results: only 1 of 4 achieved negative 90-day returns (well-timed for sells), with 3 of 4 followed by price increases of 1.1% to 4.3%, indicating a pattern of exits that preceded gains rather than declines. The substantial reduction in position size (from 10.1K to 2.6K shares) is noteworthy given the company's strong 30-day (+20.2%) and 90-day (+24.3%) price performance and elevated valuation metrics (P/E 36.15).

Significance 6/10

Director Smith sells 4,000 shares (4.0K) at $621.00 for $2,484,000.00 ($2.5M) over 2 days; stock at 52-week high.

Director Michael T. Smith executed two separate sales totaling 4,000 shares (4.0K shares) for $2,484,000.00 at a blended average price of $621.00 on January 28-29, 2026, reducing his holdings by 7.8% to 47,328 shares. The sales occurred when TDY was trading at its 52-week high of $625.32, having appreciated 20.7% in the prior 30 days and 18.7% in the prior 90 days. This trade follows a multi-year pattern: at the same ticker, Smith's 3 prior sales in 2024–2025 all achieved negative 90-day returns, with a 100% well-timed rate across those same-ticker transactions. His cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -8.6% and a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00%, indicating consistent historical execution near local highs. The current transaction's timing at the 52-week high aligns with this established pattern of selling into strength rather than during weakness.

Michael T. Smith, a director at Teledyne Technologies, sold 1,975 shares at $560.10 on 2025-07-28, reducing his stake from 53.3K to 51.3K shares. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $563.66, capturing strong momentum (stock up 7.5% over 30 days and 18.1% over 90 days prior). Notably, this sale extends a consistent pattern: his prior two sales at TDY (2025-01-27 and 2024-02-02) both delivered negative 90-day returns of -1.8% and -1.4%, respectively, with a 100% well-timed rate across same-ticker history.
