TXN director Martin S Craighead sells 10,000 shares ($3.2M) at $320.43 avg, reducing holdings 41.1%

Director Martin S Craighead executed 2 separate sales totaling 10,000 shares for $3,204,288.98 on 2026-05-28, reducing his holdings from 24,359 shares to 14,359 shares (a 41.1% reduction). The blended transaction price of $320.43 occurs near the 52-week high of $331.51, with the current price at $305.68 representing a 7.8% decline from peak. Given Texas Instruments' strong recent momentum (90-day return +44.1% and 30-day return +13.5%), alongside robust fundamentals including annual revenue growth of +13.0% and net income of $1,545,000,000.00, this sale of a material portion of holdings warrants investor attention, particularly given the proximity to the 52-week high.

Ahmad Bahai (SVP, TXN) sold 5,000 shares for $1,545,636.00 near 52-week high; prior TXN sales show 1 of 4 well-timed at 90d.

Ahmad Bahai executed two separate sales on 2026-05-14, disposing of 5,000 shares for a combined $1,545,636.00 at prices near the 52-week high of $309.32. His post-transaction holdings of 42,519 shares represent a -10.5% reduction from pre-transaction levels of 47,519 shares. At the same-ticker level, his prior four sales at TXN show mixed 90-day timing: one sale on 2026-04-27 produced 90d +14.8%, a sale on 2026-02-11 produced 90d +27.9%, a sale on 2026-02-05 produced 90d +29.5%, and a sale on 2024-08-27 produced 90d -3.4%, with only 1 of 4 well-timed at the 90-day mark. The current price of $308.17 sits -0.4% from the 52-week high, and the stock has posted +40.8% over the prior 30 days and +36.3% over the prior 90 days, contextualizing this sale within a period of pronounced upward momentum.

TXN CFO Lizardi sells 3 tranches totaling 47,734 shares for $14.7M near 52-week high (-0.4%), reducing holdings by -35.8%

Rafael R Lizardi, Sr. Vice President & CFO of Texas Instruments Inc, filed 3 separate sales totaling 47,734 shares for $14,706,996.48, executed at prices of $307.85, $308.54, and $309.45 on 2026-05-14. The transactions reduce his holdings from 133,219 shares to 85,485 shares, a -35.8% reduction, and were executed with the stock sitting just -0.4% from its 52-week high of $309.32 following a 30-day gain of +40.8%. His 5 prior trades at TXN all posted positive 90-day returns ranging from +11.8% to +35.0%, with 0 of 5 prior sells at this ticker having generated a negative 90-day return — meaning the stock rose after each of those sales. His cross-ticker track record across 7 prior sells shows an avg 90-day return of +16.8% and a 90-day well-timed rate of 14.29%, indicating that across all tickers, prior sells have generally not been followed by stock declines.

TXN Director Carrie Smith Cox sells 8,838 shares for $2.7M as stock trades -0.4% from 52-week high

Carrie Smith Cox, a Director at Texas Instruments, sold 8,838 shares across four transactions on 2026-05-13 for total proceeds of $2,708,028.73, while the stock sits just -0.4% from its 52-week high and has surged +40.8% over the past 30 days. The sale comes against a backdrop of strong momentum but leaves Cox with 37,626 shares post-transaction, indicating continued meaningful exposure to TXN. Her cross-ticker track record includes only 1 prior sell with no measurable 90-day outcome, so there is insufficient historical data to assess her sell-timing accuracy. With TXN trading at a P/E of 52.23 and annual revenue growth of +13.0%, the elevated valuation context may be relevant to how investors interpret the timing of this disposal near the stock's 52-week peak.

Sr. VP Leonard Shanon J sells 4,963 TXN shares for $1.47M; stock near 52-week highs after strong recent rally.

Leonard Shanon J, Senior Vice President at Texas Instruments, sold nearly 5,000 shares at current market prices, reducing his stake by roughly one-sixth. The sale comes as the stock trades near its 52-week high following a substantial rally over the past three months, a typical moment when insiders take profits. His track record at this ticker is mixed: one recent sale in late April coincided with the stock rising afterward, but two prior exits in mid-2024 were followed by declining stock prices—suggesting he has picked both profitable and unprofitable exit windows. Texas Instruments remains a profitable, growing company with strong recent earnings, so the sale reflects portfolio positioning rather than concerns about the underlying business. As the fifth open-market sale this insider has made in the past three years, this continues a pattern of periodic selling, though without any open-market purchases in the same window to suggest hedging activity.

Significance 5

TXN CEO Ilan Haviv simultaneously buys and sells shares at stock near 52-week highs

CEO Ilan Haviv executed a paired transaction—purchasing roughly twenty thousand shares while simultaneously selling roughly double that amount at the stock's current elevated price near its fifty-two-week highs. This simultaneous buy-sell pattern is characteristic of portfolio rebalancing or option exercise processing rather than a conviction signal about undervaluation. The sale proceeds substantially exceed the purchase value, netting significant proceeds at a point where the stock has recovered strongly and sits in the upper band of its annual range. Against a backdrop of a profitable company generating solid revenue growth with a reasonable track record, this appears to be a cash management or diversification move by a CEO at an opportune selling window, rather than a vote of concern or confidence in the business fundamentals.

VP & Chief Accounting Officer Julie Knecht sells majority of holdings while exercising options, net disposition of shares.

Julie Knecht, VP & Chief Accounting Officer at Texas Instruments, exercised stock options and executed two separate share sales on the same day, resulting in a net disposition of shares that reduced her position significantly. The sales occurred as the stock trades near its 52-week high following a substantial run over the past three months, and the company remains profitable with growing revenue, though valued at a stretched multiple. Knecht's prior sale at this company in 2024 proved well-timed—the stock subsequently declined—and this latest transaction follows that same pattern of selling strength. The exercise paired with immediate sales suggests portfolio rebalancing tied to option vesting rather than a new conviction about company fundamentals, but the timing alongside elevated valuation warrants noting for investors monitoring insider positioning.

Sr. VP Roberts sells 28,080 TXN shares for $7.9M at $280.34 avg; holds 53.8K post-transaction as stock near 52-week high.

Mark T. Roberts, Sr. Vice President at Texas Instruments, executed 2 separate sales totaling 28,080 shares for $7,871,934.21 on 2026-04-30, reducing his holding from 81,889 shares to 53.8K shares (a -34.3% reduction). The sales occurred at a blended average price of $280.34, only 0.4% below the 52-week high of $282.23, suggesting execution near peak valuation. The stock has appreciated +43.2% over the prior 30 days and +30.4% over 90 days, placing it in a strong uptrend. Notably, across Roberts's same-ticker history at TXN, 1 of 1 prior measurable sells (2024-08-29) exhibited a -6.5% 90-day return, indicating the prior sale preceded a decline; however, his most recent sell on 2026-02-09 has shown a -10.2% 30-day result with 90-day outcome still pending. The current sale's execution at multi-year highs combined with the stock's extended recent gains warrants attention to whether this marks a shift in positioning.

Gary Mark sold 13,689 shares of TXN at $279.25 on 2026-04-30 for $3,822,671.05; 23.1% reduction in holdings despite +43.2% 30-day stock appreciation.

Gary Mark, Sr. Vice President at Texas Instruments, reduced his position by 13,689 shares (-23.1% of pre-transaction holdings) on 2026-04-30 at $281.02, a price near the 52-week high of $282.23. This sale is noteworthy because it occurs amid strong recent momentum: the stock has risen 43.2% over the prior 30 days and 30.4% over 90 days, yet the insider chose to sell rather than hold. At the TXN ticker specifically, his prior three measurable sales (all in 2024-11 and earlier) were well-timed at the 90-day horizon, with declines ranging from -10.1% to -16.6%, suggesting a consistent pattern of selling before drawdowns. His cross-ticker track record shows 100.00% well-timed rate on sells across 8 prior open-market transactions, though with an average 90-day return of -9.3%, indicating the stock typically fell after his sales. The current fundamental backdrop shows strong performance (FY revenue growth +13.0%, net income $1.5B), yet the elevated P/E of 47.63 and his sustained selling activity warrants investor attention to whether this reflects insider perspective on valuation despite near-term strength.

Texas Instruments Sr. VP Yunus Mohammad sells 51.1K shares ($13.8M) across 3 transactions; reduces stake by 49.2%, now holds 52.9K shares post-sale

Yunus Mohammad executed 3 separate sales totaling 51,098 shares for $13,818,950.96 at a blended average price of $270.44, disposing of approximately half his position in Texas Instruments. His prior 2 trades at TXN were both well-timed sells at the 90-day mark (−11.0% and −5.2%), establishing a pattern of selling before stock declines. The current stock trades at $281.08, already 0.4% below its 52-week high of $282.23, and has rallied +44.8% over 30 days and +30.4% over 90 days—a period in which his recent positions would be evaluated. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100% well-timed sell rate across 2 prior transactions with an average 90-day post-sale decline of −10.8%, though this cross-ticker average contrasts with his actual TXN outcomes (−8.65% average 90-day post-sale return). The stock trades at a P/E of 47.64 against a market cap of $255.8B, and the company recently reported $4.8B quarterly revenue with +13% annual growth and $1.5B net income, indicating strong fundamentals even as this senior executive liquidates half his holdings.
