CEO Balakrishnan sells 12,507 shares at $60.64 (total $758,424.48); holds 600,002 post-sale amid 31.7% YoY revenue decline and elevated P/E.

Balakrishnan, POWI's President and CEO, executed 3 separate sales totaling 12,507 shares for $758,424.48 at a blended average price of $60.64. This represents a 2.0% reduction in his pre-transaction holdings of 612,509 shares, leaving him with 600,002 shares after the transaction. The sell occurs in a deteriorated fundamental context: annual revenue has declined 31.7% year-over-year to $115,837,000.00 (latest quarter), and the stock trades at a P/E of 92.05 while down 25.5% from its 52-week high of $81.54. Relative to his same-ticker history at POWI, the 5 prior sells show a 90-day well-timing rate of 3 out of 5—a neutral pattern. The current sale price of $60.64 is marginally below the current market price of $60.75, providing limited upside buffer given the company's significant revenue deterioration and stretched valuation metrics.
