ZWS Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corp Insider Trading

Director JAHNKE TIMOTHY J sold 25,000 shares of ZWS at $51.18 on 2026-02-17; stock currently $50.91.

JAHNKE TIMOTHY J sold 25,000 shares (-8.6% of pre-transaction holdings) at $51.18, reducing his position to 266,864 shares. The transaction occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $52.78 (within 3.5%). His prior two sales at ZWS both generated positive 90-day returns (+3.7% and +9.7%), meaning the stock rose after both sales—neither was well-timed in the traditional sense for a seller. The cross-ticker track record shows 0.00% well-timed rate on 2 prior sells (average 90d return +8.9%), indicating a pattern of sales that have not preceded declines. Current fundamentals show strong revenue of $455,400,000.00, net income of $61,800,000.00, and annual revenue growth of +8.3%, though the P/E of 36.89 reflects premium valuation. The sale lacks clear strategic timing signals based on historical patterns.

ZWS President Schoon sells 12,034 shares at $51.80; 52-wk high $52.78 near; cross-ticker history shows 0% well-timed sells.

Jeffrey A Schoon, President of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corp, sold 12,034 shares at $51.80 on 2026-02-10, retaining 62,541 shares post-transaction. The sale occurred at a price only 2.0% below the 52-week high of $52.78, in a 30-day context of +12.5% price appreciation. Schoon's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell with a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00% (meaning his past open-market sales did not precede stock declines); the specific transaction at ZWS on 2025-02-14 was similarly not well-timed, as the stock posted a +4.3% 90-day return after that sale. This pattern suggests the timing of insider dispositions at this name has not historically preceded downturns, though the current sale's proximity to the 52-week peak and the elevated P/E of 37.49 merit investor attention to underlying fundamentals and future guidance.

CEO Todd A. Adams sells 538,397 shares at blended $52.22 for $28.1M; reduces stake from 2.80M to 2.26M shares (-19.3%)

Todd A. Adams, Chairman and CEO of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions, executed 3 separate sales totaling 538,397 shares on 2026-02-09 and 2026-02-10 for $28,115,309.96 at a blended average price of $52.22, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 2,256,684 shares—a net reduction of 19.3% versus pre-transaction holdings. This is the CEO's largest concentrated liquidation event on the stock. At the time of sale, the stock was near its 52-week high of $52.78 (current price $51.73 is -2.0% from peak), having appreciated +12.5% in the prior 30 days and +8.9% in the prior 90 days. Examining his prior 5 trades at ZWS specifically, 4 of 5 previous sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark (negative subsequent returns), suggesting the insider has demonstrated pattern recognition of local peaks; this current sale executed at the proximate 52-week high warrants close investor monitoring of the company's near-term operational trajectory and management's disclosed outlook.

CAO Mark Peterson sold 35,267 shares of ZWS at $51.80 for $1.8M, reducing stake by 9.4%

Peterson sold 35,267 shares at $51.80 on 2026-02-10, near the company's 52-week high of $52.78 (-2.0%), while the stock has gained 12.5% over the past 30 days and 8.9% over 90 days. His same-ticker history at ZWS shows mixed outcomes: 1 of 4 prior measurable sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with prior 90-day returns ranging from -2.7% to +11.4%. His cross-ticker track record shows a 28.57% well-timed rate across 8 prior sales. This sale occurs in a favorable pricing context relative to recent momentum, but Peterson retains substantial exposure with 339,613 shares post-transaction in a company posting solid fundamentals ($455.4M quarterly revenue, +8.3% annual growth, P/E of 37.49).

CAO Mark W Peterson sold 23,183 shares of ZWS at $51.40 on 2026-02-05 for $1,191,606.20

Peterson sold 23,183 shares (-7.3% of pre-transaction holdings), reducing his position from 318,561 to 295,378 shares at a transaction price of $51.40. The stock currently trades at $52.78, near its 52-week high of $52.78 and up 14.3% over the past 30 days. At ZWS specifically, Peterson's prior 4 measurable sales show mixed timing outcomes: one sale (2025-07-31) achieved +11.4% over 90 days post-sale, while another (2024-11-07) resulted in a -2.7% 90-day return; overall, only 1 of 4 prior ZWS sales was well-timed at the 90-day mark. Fundamentally, ZWS trades at a P/E of 45.90 with recent quarterly revenue of $455,400,000.00 and net income of $61,800,000.00, reflecting a high valuation multiple on modest annual revenue growth of +2.4%.

Chief Administrative Officer Mark Peterson sells 21,570 ZWS shares at $48.48; stock now at $46.08 (-4.3% from 52-week high).

Peterson sold 21,570 shares at $48.48 on 2025-11-12, representing a 6.3% reduction in his holdings to 318,561 shares post-transaction. The sale occurred near the 52-week high, with the stock currently trading at $46.08. Examining his prior trade outcomes at ZWS specifically: his 5 preceding trades show mixed timing, with a 90-day well-timed rate of 1 of 4 measurable outcomes—meaning only 1 of his 4 prior 90-day sell sequences resulted in stock declines after the sale. His broader cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 40.00% (6 prior sells), indicating below-average precision at timing market peaks. The transaction reduces concentration but does not signal a clear directional conviction given the modest timing accuracy demonstrated both at this ticker and across his broader trading history.

Peterson sells 20.3K ZWS shares at $46.44; still holds 340.1K; 5th sale in 2+ months at firm

Peterson, Chief Administrative Officer, sold 20,349 shares at $46.44 on 2025-08-27, generating $945,007.56 in proceeds while retaining a substantial post-transaction holding of 340,131 shares. At ZWS specifically, this represents his fifth open-market sale in approximately four months (dating back to 2024-02-08), with his most recent prior sale on 2025-07-31. The stock is currently trading at $45.36, near the 52-week high of $46.55, having risen 25.3% over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 5 prior sells with a 50.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark (avg 90d return +0.4%), while at ZWS specifically, 2 of 4 prior measurable sales proved well-timed. The pattern of repeated sales over a compressed timeframe at a single holding, combined with current valuation near 52-week highs, merits observation but does not yet signal material deterioration in the underlying business (revenue $444.5M, net income $50.5M, P/E 43.62).

ZWS CIO Troutman sold 90.9K shares ($3.9M) at $43.01; -64.3% of holdings. Stock now at 52-week high.

Michael Troutman, Chief Information Officer of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions, sold 90,916 shares at $43.01 on 2025-07-31, reducing his holding from 141,421 to 50,505 shares and realizing $3,910,297.16 in proceeds. The sale occurred as the stock trades at the 52-week high of $44.98 (up 19.8% in 30 days and 28.6% in 90 days), after a period of sharp appreciation. His prior three sales at ZWS had mixed outcomes: two from October 2024 posted positive 30-day and 90-day returns (the stock continued rising post-sale), while one from November 2023 showed a 90-day gain despite a near-term -1.4% dip. The company trades at a P/E of 43.25 on recent quarterly revenue of $444.5M and net income of $50.5M, with modest 2.4% annual revenue growth. The timing of this large position reduction during a period of elevated valuations and strong recent momentum merits monitoring, particularly given the stock's approach to its 52-week highs.

Director JAHNKE TIMOTHY J sold 30,000 shares (30.0K) for $1,300,500.00 across 2 transactions; retains 180,000 shares post-sale.

Director Timothy J. Jahnke executed 2 separate sales totaling 30,000 shares for $1,300,500.00 on July 30-31, 2025, reducing his stake from 210,000 to 180,000 shares (-14.3% vs pre-transaction holdings). The sales occurred at $42.59 and $43.73 per share (blended average $43.35), slightly below the current price of $44.98 and at the upper end of the 52-week range ($28.50–$44.98). The stock has appreciated 19.8% over 30 days and 28.6% over 90 days, placing these sales in the context of strong recent momentum. The absence of a FLAGS section indicates this is an open-market discretionary transaction. Material context includes ZWS's elevated P/E of 43.25 relative to its modest 2.4% annual revenue growth, alongside recent share price strength.

VP Chhabra sells 108,930 shares (53.6% of holdings) for $4,750,203.14 at blended avg $43.61 vs current $44.98.

Chhabra Sudhanshu, VP of Zurn Business Systems, executed 3 separate sales on 2025-07-31 totaling 108,930 shares for $4,750,203.14, reducing his holdings by 53.6% from 203,260 to 94,330 shares. The sales occurred at prices ($43.55, $44.05, $43.23) clustered at a blended average of $43.61, just below the current price of $44.98 and at the 52-week high. Across his prior open-market history, Chhabra's 1 prior sell was poorly timed (0.00% well-timed rate), with the 90-day return averaging 24.0% after the sale—meaning the stock rose after he sold. The company's P/E of 43.25 is elevated relative to its recent revenue growth of 2.4%, and the stock has already appreciated 19.8% over the past 30 days and 28.6% over 90 days, narrowing the margin between sale price and current valuation. The substantial reduction in holdings may reflect portfolio reallocation rather than a directional view, but the timing relative to strong recent momentum warrants scrutiny of whether the executive perceived diminishing upside at these levels.
