WCC WESCO INTERNATIONAL INC Insider Trading

EVP Hemant Porwal sells 4,445 shares of WCC (21% of holdings) near 52-week highs; fifth open-market sale in 36 months with mixed timing.

Hemant Porwal, EVP of Supply Chain & Operations, executed a substantial sale of nearly one-fifth of his WCC stake at a price near the 52-week high—a level where insider selling is less typical given the stock's recent strength. Porwal has been a consistent seller, with this marking his fifth open-market sale over the past three years, yet his timing record is conflicted: his most recent prior sale nine months ago was well-timed in the near term as the stock declined shortly after, though it ultimately recovered and gained significantly over a longer horizon. The company remains solidly profitable with strong recent revenue growth, but Porwal's repeated reduction of his position—particularly at elevated prices—contrasts sharply with his complete absence of open-market purchases, suggesting a pattern of monetization rather than renewed confidence in the business.

EVP and General Counsel Diane Lazzaris sold nearly 10,000 shares totaling $3.6M as WCC stock trades near 52-week highs.

Diane Lazzaris, the company's Executive Vice President and General Counsel, executed three sales totaling nearly 10,000 shares on the same day, reducing her holdings by a combined 37 percent. The sales occurred as WCC's stock trades near its 52-week highs and following a sharp recent rally. Lazzaris has an established track record as a seller in this stock — this is her third sale in roughly three months. However, her prior exits show conflicting timing: in the short term (one month after each sale), the stock declined, suggesting good near-term execution, but over longer horizons (three months) the stock rebounded and gained, indicating poorly-timed exits overall. The company remains profitable and growing, but the combination of the EVP selling significant stakes during a recent rally, paired with her mixed historical record on exit timing, suggests caution worth examining further as an investor evaluates conviction at current valuations.

Chief Information Officer Akash Khurana sells 4,000 shares of WCC valued at $1.44M near all-time highs.

Akash Khurana, the Chief Information and Digital Officer at WESCO International, disposed of 4,000 shares in a single trading session as the stock touched its 52-week high—a substantial exit timed at peak valuation. The company's fundamentals show strong profitability and significant revenue momentum, suggesting the disposal is not driven by operational weakness. However, the timing at all-time highs is noteworthy: insider selling at elevated prices typically reflects a rebalancing decision rather than conviction about future upside, especially for an operational executive rather than a portfolio manager. Khurana's only prior same-ticker trade, a sale in August 2025, has not yet shown an outcome, so there is no track record in this stock to assess his historical timing accuracy. For a retail investor, this filing signals neither alarm nor enthusiasm—it reflects one executive's decision to trim a stake after a significant rally, without clear insight into whether he views the current valuation as fairly priced or stretched.

EVP Naylor Dirk Waugh sells ~3,950 shares worth $1.39M as WCC stock hits 52-week highs

Naylor Dirk Waugh, EVP and General Manager of Commercial & Security Solutions at WESCO International, executed a substantial liquidation of nearly 4,000 shares across four transactions on the same trading day, generating approximately $1.39 million in proceeds. The timing is notable: the stock is trading at its highest level in the past year, having rallied significantly over recent months, which typically makes such sales more of a profit-taking move than a distress sale. The underlying company is financially healthy — it is profitable with strong revenue growth and a reasonable valuation — which frames this sale as opportunistic rather than a panic response to deteriorating fundamentals. However, the magnitude of the disposition (totaling roughly one-third of Waugh's holdings) represents a meaningful reduction in his stake during a period of peak valuations, suggesting he may be choosing to harvest gains rather than maintain maximum exposure at elevated prices.

CEO John Engel executes large net-neutral transaction: exercises and tax withholdings offset by substantial same-day sales

John Engel, the Chairman, President & CEO of WESCO International, executed a complex transaction on May 5-6 involving equity exercises and subsequent sales that netted to zero share position change. While the transaction is structurally balanced—exercises and tax withholdings of approximately 165,400 shares matched by sales of the same amount—the total sales proceeds of approximately $58.6 million dwarf the acquisition value, indicating Engel systematically converted exercises into cash. The company itself is profitable and growing robustly, with strong year-over-year revenue expansion, and the stock trades near all-time highs after a substantial recent rally. However, Engel's prior trading history in this stock consists solely of sales, and all prior outcomes remain too recent to evaluate; there is no established pattern showing whether his previous exits proved well-timed or ill-timed. This filing represents a C-suite liquidity event at elevated valuations—a large cash extraction from exercises—but without clarity on whether the insider views current valuations as stretched or is simply managing portfolio concentration as is routine for executives.

EVP and former CFO Schulz disposes of ~32K shares for $11.5M as stock reaches 52-week highs.

David Schulz, EVP and former CFO of WESCO, executed five sell transactions totaling roughly 32,000 shares on a single trading day while the stock was trading at its 52-week high following a sharp rally over the prior month. The timing is noteworthy: the stock has appreciated significantly in recent weeks, yet Schulz chose to exit a material portion of his holdings near the peak price rather than at lower levels. Examining his prior sales in this same stock reveals a consistent pattern — every previous exit saw the stock rise over the subsequent 90-day period, meaning he has not had success with longer-term sale timing. However, his most recent prior sale showed immediate downside in the 30-day window before reversing, suggesting at least near-term accuracy on timing. The company itself remains profitable with healthy revenue and maintains a reasonable valuation multiple, so this disposal does not appear driven by fundamental deterioration. Schulz's shift from his prior pattern of regular selling may simply reflect portfolio liquidity needs or rebalancing, but the clustering of five sales on a single day at all-time highs is the inverse of typical insider conviction — rather than buying weakness, he is selling strength.

EVP Daniel J Castillo buys 1,400 WCC shares at $266.06; holdings rise to 15.3K shares (+10.1%)

Castillo, EVP & GM of the EES division, purchased 1,400 shares valued at $372,484.00 on 2026-03-31, increasing his holdings by 10.1% to 15,325 shares. The purchase occurred at $266.06, and the stock currently trades at $277.45, representing a modest gain since the transaction. WCC trades 12.0% below its 52-week high of $315.27 and has declined 3.9% over the past 30 days, though it is up 10.0% over 90 days. Castillo's cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior open-market sales with a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating his historical sales have not captured favorable exit timing. The open-market nature of this acquisition adds visibility to insider positioning, though the transaction scale and Castillo's historical outcomes provide limited predictive signal.

EVP & Former CFO Schulz sold 15,446 shares ($4.4M) at $282.97 blended avg; stock down -16.2% from 52-week high, -12.4% in 30 days.

David S. Schulz, EVP & Former CFO, executed two separate open-market sales totaling 15,446 shares for $4,370,808.88 on 2026-03-05, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 108,983 shares (-12.4% of prior holdings). The transactions occurred at a blended average price of $282.97, notably above the current price of $264.13; however, the timing coincides with material near-term price weakness—the stock has declined 12.4% over the prior 30 days and 16.2% from its 52-week high of $315.27. His prior five sales at WCC showed mixed timing patterns: three August 2025 sales were followed by positive 90-day returns (poorly timed relative to subsequent rallies), while two November 2024 sales preceded declining returns (well-timed). The underlying company remains well-capitalized with $6.2B in quarterly revenue, 7.8% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 22.61, suggesting fundamentals are not in acute distress despite recent price pressure.

EVP and General Counsel Diane Lazzaris sells 20,041 shares at blended average $304.67 for $6.1M, reducing stake by 41.0%.

Diane Lazzaris, EVP and General Counsel at WESCO INTERNATIONAL INC, executed 9 separate sales totaling 20,041 shares for $6,105,876.43 on 2026-02-17 and 2026-02-18 at prices ranging from $300.07 to $306.23, with a blended average of $304.67. This sale reduces her holdings from 48,905 shares to 28,864 shares, a 41.0% reduction in her pre-transaction position. The stock currently trades at $301.74, near the transaction price range, and has appreciated 7.1% over 30 days and 22.2% over 90 days from prior levels. At the same ticker, Lazzaris's 5 prior sales from August through November 2025 showed uniformly positive 30-day and 90-day returns (ranging from +5.6% to +6.0% on 30 days and +16.2% to +17.5% on 90 days), with none of those prior sales being well-timed in the sense of preceding a decline—the stock rose after each. The current sale occurs as WESCO trades near its 52-week high ($315.27) and maintains a P/E of 25.83, reflecting a valuation environment where prior sales by this executive have not preceded downturns. The material reduction in a senior executive's stake warrants scrutiny of the company's forward guidance and operational outlook.

WESCO EVP Wolf sells 4,685 shares at avg $259.52; retains 30.2K shares as stock hits 52-week high

Christine Ann Wolf, EVP & CHRO at WESCO INTERNATIONAL INC, executed 2 separate sales totaling 4,685 shares for $1,215,832.22 on 2025-11-11, reducing her holdings by 13.4% to 30,195 shares. The blended average sale price of $259.52 occurred as the stock traded at $267.15 (currently at the 52-week high of $267.15) and has risen 25.4% over 30 days and 26.7% over 90 days. The company reports a P/E of 20.13 and positive fundamentals ($6.2B in latest quarterly revenue, $187.5M net income), though annual revenue growth stands at -2.5%. Wolf maintains substantial remaining holdings, indicating material continued skin in the game despite the reduction.
