Significance 4

Director Ajita G Rajendra sold 8,450 shares of TKR at $131.34, reducing position by 29.5%.

Director Ajita G Rajendra sold 8,450 shares (29.5% of her pre-transaction holdings) at $131.34 on 2026-06-05, leaving her with 20,225 shares. The stock currently trades at $137.09, within 0.4% of its 52-week high and up 16.2% over 30 days and 32.7% over 90 days. Rajendra's cross-ticker track record shows 11 prior open-market sells with a 100.00% well-timed rate over 90 days, though this is derived from broader market activity, not ticker-specific performance. The company trades at a P/E of 30.88 with modest fundamentals: $1.2B quarterly revenue and $98.2M net income, reflecting flat annual growth of 0.2%.

Significance 4

Director Richard G Kyle sold 8,448 TKR shares at $127.35; holds 197,361 post-sale amid 20.1% 30-day rally.

Richard G Kyle sold 8,448 shares of Timken for $1,075,852.80, reducing his holdings by 4.1% to 197,361 shares. The sale occurred at $127.35 while the stock has since risen to $127.98 and stands near its 52-week high of $128.31, having gained 20.1% over the prior 30 days. His prior trades at Timken show no well-timed sells at the 90-day mark—all five prior sales were followed by positive 90-day returns (ranging from +8.0% to +10.8%), indicating they were poorly timed entries for exit. His cross-ticker track record of 20 prior sells shows a 50% well-timed rate with a +0.7% average 90-day return, suggesting modest predictive value. The company trades at a P/E of 28.82 with flat annual revenue growth of +0.2% and recent quarterly revenue of $1.2B, offering limited fundamental tailwinds.

Significance 5

Director Kyle Richard G sells over 37k shares for $4.36M, continuing a pattern of selling while stock near 52-week highs.

Kyle Richard G, a director at Timken, sold more than 37,000 shares at market rates, reducing his holdings by about 15% in a single transaction. This is the 30th open-market sale by this director over the past three years—a consistent pattern of liquidation with no offsetting purchases. Looking back at his prior trades at Timken, his timing has been mixed: while his recent sales did allow him to exit before the stock declined over the following month in most cases, the stock has recovered significantly over longer periods, meaning these exits were ultimately poorly timed over a full quarter or more. The company remains profitable and trades near its 52-week high, which means this sale is occurring when the stock is relatively elevated, though the company's fundamentals show revenue pressure and a modest pullback from recent gains. The sheer volume of director selling without any buying activity warrants attention, though the mixed track record on his prior exits suggests caution in interpreting this as a strong bearish signal on its own.

Significance 4

Director John M Jr Timken sells 15,000 shares worth $1.7M at prices near 52-week highs.

John M Jr Timken, a director at Timken, sold a substantial stake of 15,000 shares at prices near the 52-week high, reducing his holdings by over 5%. This is the director's first open-market sale in the trailing three-year window, marking a shift from a track record dominated by stock-based compensation transactions. The timing is notable: the sale occurs when the stock is trading just below its 52-week peak, a period when the company is profitable and the stock has advanced meaningfully in recent months. While the company faces revenue headwinds year-over-year, the sale itself provides no direct insight into the director's views on the company's prospects—the price point simply reflects current market conditions at the time of disposition.

Significance 5

Director Kyle Richard G sold 19,636 shares of TKR at $107.99 avg ($2.1M) on 2026-02-20; post-transaction holdings 243,636 shares.

Kyle Richard G, Director of Timken Co, executed 2 separate sales totaling 19,636 shares for $2,120,428.24 at an average blended price of $107.99 on 2026-02-20, reducing his holdings by 7.5% to 243,636 shares. The current stock price of $109.52 is at the 52-week high, having risen 16.6% over the past 30 days and 34.6% over 90 days, putting the transaction pricing near recent peak valuations. His cross-ticker track record shows a 72.22% well-timed sell rate with an average 90-day post-sale return of -2.5%, whereas his same-ticker history at TKR is mixed: 2 of 3 measurable prior sells were well-timed (negative post-sale returns), but 1 prior sell on 2025-11-25 was poorly timed, followed by a 33.1% gain within 90 days. The timing context—executing near a 52-week high amid strong recent momentum—combined with the cumulative sales pattern (including sells on 2026-02-19 and 2026-02-06 outcomes not yet measurable) suggests liquidity management rather than a clear directional signal, though the elevated valuation (P/E 32.69 against flat annual revenue growth of +0.2%) and recent strength warrant observation.

Significance 4

Director Kyle Richard G sells 10,000 TKR shares at $106.72; holds 263,272 shares post-sale as stock trades near 52-week high.

Director Kyle Richard G sold 10,000 shares of Timken (TKR) at $106.72 on 2026-02-19, reducing his holdings by 3.7% from 273.3K to 263.3K shares. The sale occurred at $106.72, just 1.4% below the 52-week high of $109.41, during a period of strong recent momentum (30-day +14.8%, 90-day +32.8%). His cross-ticker track record shows 70.59% well-timed sells historically, though at this specific ticker his prior two measurable sales at TKR produced mixed outcomes: one well-timed (2025-11-25 followed by +33.1% 90-day gain for the stock, indicating insider sold before a rise) and one poorly timed (2025-02-25 followed by -13.6% decline, meaning insider missed downside). The P/E of 32.19 reflects elevated valuation. This discrete sale of a relatively small position portion warrants monitoring, particularly given the near-term price momentum and the insider's historical accuracy rate, but the modest reduction in holdings and incomplete pattern at this ticker limit the immediate signal strength.

Significance 6

Director Kyle Richard G sold 30.2K TKR shares at $106.52; stock now at $109.41, up 39.1% over 90 days

Kyle Richard G, a Director, sold 30,206 shares at $106.52 on 2026-02-06, reducing his holdings by 11.1% from 271,381 to 241,175 shares for $3,217,543.12 in proceeds. The transaction occurred with TKR trading significantly below its current price of $109.41 and its 52-week high; the stock has appreciated 39.1% over the past 90 days and 20.0% over the past 30 days. His prior trades at TKR show mixed timing outcomes: 3 of 4 measurable historical sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, suggesting an ability to navigate sell decisions strategically at this ticker. The current sale occurred as the stock reached its 52-week high, materially above the $106.52 execution price, which represents a departure from his typical pattern of selling ahead of declines. With TKR trading at a P/E of 25.62, annual revenue declining 4.1%, and the stock at elevated valuation levels following a sharp 90-day rally, the timing and context of this sale merit attention relative to the insider's historical execution pattern at this security.

Director Kyle Richard G sells 15,837 TKR shares at $81.03 for $1,283,272.11; 60% reduction in recent quarterly sales activity

Kyle Richard G, a director, sold 15,837 shares at $81.03 on 2025-11-25, reducing his holdings from 282,133 to 266,296 shares. This sale occurs as TKR trades at $81.36, near its 52-week high of $83.79. Notably, his prior trades at TKR show mixed timing outcomes: his 5 earlier sales resulted in 3 negative 90-day returns, indicating well-timed execution 60% of the time at this ticker. His cross-ticker track record shows an 80.00% well-timed rate on 20 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -5.2%, though the current sale arrives as the stock has gained 5.2% in 30 days and 4.0% in 90 days—suggesting this transaction occurs after recent strength. The company faces headwinds: annual revenue declined 4.1% year-over-year, though fundamentals remain profitable with a P/E of 19.05.

Significance 4

Director Kyle Richard G sold 15,000 TKR shares at $79.20 on 2025-02-25 for $1,188,000.00; stock now at $80.16

Kyle Richard G, a TKR director, sold 15,000 shares (15.0K shares) on 2025-02-25 at $79.20 per share, reducing his holdings by 8.6% to 160,263 shares (160.3K shares). The sale occurred near the lower end of the 52-week range ($69.85–$93.10) and represents his third sale in four days; two earlier sales on 2025-02-19 and 2025-02-18 are not yet measurable at 30 and 90 days. His prior measurable trades at TKR show mixed timing: of three sales completed in November 2024, zero were well-timed at the 90-day mark (all three saw subsequent stock gains of +1.2% to +8.6%), suggesting his TKR exits have not preceded declines. His cross-ticker track record across 20 prior sells shows a 72.22% well-timed rate with average 90-day returns of -3.6%, but this pattern has not materialized consistently at TKR itself. The stock has since recovered to $80.16 (up 3.9% in 30 days), continuing a pattern where his recent TKR sales have not been followed by declines.

Significance 5

Director Kyle Richard G sold 27,001 TKR shares for $2.2M at $82.59 avg, retaining 186,029 shares.

Kyle Richard G, a Director, executed 2 separate open-market sales totaling 27,001 shares for $2,230,082.50 at a blended average price of $82.59, reducing his holdings by 12.7%. The current stock price is $83.79, only 1.5% above the sale prices, placing the transaction near recent trading levels with the stock up 8.1% over 30 days and 10.3% over 90 days. Across his cross-ticker track record of 20 prior sells, this insider's average 90-day return after sales was -2.9% with a 65.00% well-timed rate; however, at this specific ticker (TKR), his prior 5 sales show mixed timing outcomes—only 2 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with 3 sales followed by positive returns, suggesting inconsistent predictive value. The company's fundamentals show annual revenue declined 4.1% year-over-year despite a P/E of 19.62 and revenue of $1.1B in the latest quarter. This is a routine insider sale with no unusual scale or pattern shift relative to the director's historical activity.
