WLDN Willdan Group, Inc. Insider Trading

CEO Michael Bieber sells 56,676 shares for $5.2M across 4 transactions; stock up 17.0% in 30 days but down 32.8% from 52-week high of $137.00

Michael A Bieber, President and CEO, executed 4 separate sales totaling 56,676 shares for $5,190,212.41 on 2026-05-14, reducing his holdings from 306,201 shares to 249,525 shares. The transaction prices ranged from $16.27 to $93.74, with the bulk of shares sold at prices between $90.88 and $93.74 per share, near current price of $92.12. His prior sales at Willdan have consistently generated positive 90-day returns (ranging from 18.6% to 150.2%), meaning the stock rose after each prior sale—a pattern inconsistent with well-timed insider selling. The current stock price sits 32.8% below the 52-week high of $137.00, though it has risen 17.0% over the past 30 days, and the company's fundamentals remain solid with annual revenue growth of 20.5% and a P/E of 24.70.

CEO Michael Bieber sells 9,991 shares at $92.65 on 2026-05-13; holds 249.5K shares post-transaction

Michael A Bieber, President and CEO, executed a sale of 9,991 shares at $92.65 for $925,666.15, retaining 249.5K shares post-transaction. At the current price of $91.66, the stock is -33.1% from its 52-week high of $137.00 and has declined -21.9% over the past 90 days, though it recovered +14.4% in the last 30 days. At the time of sale, his prior five transactions at WLDN showed poor 90-day timing, with zero of those sales anticipating subsequent declines—all five generated positive returns after the sale dates, indicating the CEO has historically missed downside moves. The company's fundamentals remain solid with $155.1M quarterly revenue, $8.5M net income, and +20.5% annual revenue growth, though the P/E of 24.57 suggests valuation has contracted significantly from the 52-week high. This sale warrants monitoring for additional insider activity patterns and any forward guidance changes.

WLDN executive VP & general counsel Chen micah sold 10,000 shares at $106.00 on 2025-09-18; holds 40,423 shares post-sale

Chen Micah sold 10,000 shares (10.0K shares) for $1,060,000.00, reducing his position by 19.8% from 50,423 to 40,423 shares. The sale occurred at $106.00, compared to the current price of $105.69, with WLDN trading 12.2% below its 52-week high of $120.35. His prior sale at this ticker on 2025-05-19 posted a 90-day return of +123.8%, indicating the stock advanced substantially after that earlier transaction. This current sale follows modest negative momentum over the past 30 days (-4.9%), though the 90-day horizon shows strong gains (+78.7%). At a P/E of 64.84 and recent quarterly net income of $15.4M on revenue of $173.5M, the valuation context reflects the company's growth trajectory alongside recent annual revenue growth of +10.9%.

Director Brisbin Thomas Donald sold 117,595 shares of WLDN for $12,784,496.92 across 7 transactions on 2025-08-22, reducing holdings by 62.5%

Director Brisbin Thomas Donald executed 7 separate sales totaling 117,595 shares for $12,784,496.92 on 2025-08-22, with prices ranging from $104.58 to $109.39 and a blended average of $108.72. This sale reduced his holdings from 188,291 shares to 70,696 shares—a 62.5% reduction in position size. The stock is currently trading at $116.61, up 42.1% over the past 30 days and +115.5% over 90 days, indicating the director sold during a period of strong positive momentum. His cross-ticker track record shows 13 prior open-market sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, meaning none of those prior sales proved beneficial (the stock subsequently rose in all cases), though at WLDN specifically the prior five sells are too recent to measure. The substantial size and multi-tranche execution of this position reduction warrants attention to whether fundamental or strategic factors are driving this significant exit.

Director Brisbin Thomas Donald sells 125,000 shares (39.9% of holdings) at blended avg $104.42, stock now at $115.98 (+41.4% in 30d)

Director Brisbin Thomas Donald executed 6 separate sales on 2025-08-21 totaling 125,000 shares for $13,052,878.66 at a blended average price of $104.42, reducing his holdings from 313,291 to 188,291 shares. The timing is notable: the stock has appreciated 41.4% in the 30 days following the sale and stands at $115.98, approximately 10.9% above his blended sale price. The company shows solid fundamentals with $173,473,000.00 in quarterly revenue and net income of $15,436,000.00, though the P/E of 71.15 reflects elevated valuation. His cross-ticker track record shows 14 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +121.6% and a well-timed rate of 0.00%, meaning his prior sales generally preceded stock appreciation rather than declines, providing no pattern of selling into strength. This large equity reduction near recent highs warrants investor attention given the company's strong revenue growth and the insider's sustained holding of 188,291 shares post-transaction.

Director Brisbin Thomas Donald sold 130,082 shares for $14,268,934.76 at WLDN on 2025-08-18, reducing holdings by -28.9%

On 2025-08-18, Director Brisbin Thomas Donald executed 6 separate sales totaling 130,082 shares (130.1K shares) for $14,268,934.76 ($14.3M) at an average price of $109.69, reducing his stake from 450,778 shares to 320,696 shares. The sale occurred when the stock was trading near its 52-week high of $120.35, only -14.3% below that peak and significantly above the current price of $103.18. This substantial reduction of 28.9% of his prior holdings represents one of the largest discretionary equity transactions on record for this insider. The timing relative to the stock's recent 30-day surge of +30.6% and 90-day doubling suggests the director liquidated a meaningful portion at elevated valuations following the stock's exceptional run.

CFO Creighton K sells 7,764 shares of WLDN at $116.54 on 2025-08-13; holds 72.1K post-sale.

WLDN's CFO sold 7,764 shares for $904,816.56, reducing holdings by 9.7% from 79,835 to 72,071 shares. The stock is trading at $113.01, down 6.1% from its 52-week high of $120.35, after a sharp 132.4% surge over 90 days. The company shows solid fundamentals with $173.5M in latest quarterly revenue, $15.4M net income, and 10.9% annual growth, though the elevated P/E of 69.33 suggests current valuation is stretched. The sale occurred in proximity to the stock's recent peak, but without additional context on vesting schedules or trading arrangements, the discrete reduction in the CFO's stake merits investor attention given the stock's recent volatility and elevated valuation multiple.

WLDN Director Brisbin sold 22,459 shares at $52.34 for $1.2M (5.0% of holdings)

Director Brisbin Thomas Donald sold 22,459 shares at $52.34, reducing his stake by 5.0% to 422,454 shares post-transaction. The stock is trading near its 52-week high of $54.11 (current price $53.70), with substantial momentum: +35.7% over 30 days and +64.2% over 90 days. The company has generated $152.4M in latest-quarter revenue and $4.7M in net income, with 10.9% annual revenue growth, though the P/E multiple of 32.94 reflects elevated valuation expectations. The sale occurs in the context of strong near-term stock performance, but without accompanying transaction schedules or insider commentary in this filing, the motivations remain opaque relative to the company's fundamentals.

Willdan EVP/General Counsel Chen sold 10,000 shares at $50.50; retains 38,502 shares post-sale.

Chen Micah, Executive VP & General Counsel at Willdan Group, divested 10,000 shares (20.6% of his pre-transaction holdings) at $50.50, a price materially below the current market level of $51.25 and just below the 52-week high of $51.25. The stock has appreciated 38.9% over the past 30 days and 56.7% over 90 days, suggesting strong recent momentum at the time of the sale. Chen remains a substantial shareholder with 38,502 shares post-transaction, indicating continued significant stake. Against the backdrop of the company's solid fundamentals—$152.4M quarterly revenue, +10.9% annual growth, and $4.7M net income—the executive's partial liquidation warrants monitoring to establish whether this represents one component of a broader diversification pattern or signals a change in conviction toward the equity.

WLDN CEO Bieber sells 25,000 shares at $48.11 amid 52-week highs; stock at current $50.55 (+31.4% 30d).

BIEBER MICHAEL A, President and CEO of Willdan Group, sold 25,000 shares (25.0K shares) at $48.11 on 2025-05-16, reducing his holdings by 11.1% to 201.0K shares, while the stock has since risen to $50.55. The timing is notable: the sale occurred near the 52-week high of $50.55, with the stock posting strong recent momentum of +31.4% over 30 days and +52.3% over 90 days. His prior trades at WLDN show a 0-for-4 pattern of well-timed exits (all four prior sales in August 2024 saw subsequent 90-day gains of 18.6% to 22.4%), suggesting this insider has historically underestimated upside moves at this ticker. The company's fundamentals remain solid with annual revenue growth of +10.9% and net income of $4.7M, though the P/E of 31.01 reflects the stock's current valuation premium.
