TER CEO Gregory Stephen Smith sold 4,000 shares at $356.31 on 2026-07-15; stock now down 33.8% from 52-week high under 10b5-1 plan.
Gregory Stephen Smith, President and CEO of Teradyne, Inc., sold 4,000 shares at $356.31 on 2026-07-15 pursuant to a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2026-02-12, reducing his holdings from 120,495 to 116,495 shares. The sale occurred at a materially higher price than the current price of $322.95, and the stock has declined 33.8% from its 52-week high of $487.91, a fall of 21.1% over the 30 days immediately following the trade. Because this transaction was scheduled under a 10b5-1 plan rather than discretionary, it carries no signal regarding the CEO's contemporaneous conviction about valuation or company prospects—the execution timing was predetermined. At the same ticker, his prior sell on 2026-06-15 resulted in a 30-day return of -19.1%, consistent with the negative price momentum observed post-trade in both instances.
