Bamford Mark S

VP & Corporate Controller Bamford Mark S sold 29,341 shares at $98.19 blended average, reducing holdings 78.8%, for $2.9M

Bamford Mark S executed 2 separate sales totaling 29,341 shares for $2,881,103.78 on February 13 and 17, 2026, at prices of $98.68 and $97.96 respectively. This represents a 78.8% reduction in his TXT holdings, from 37,212 shares to 7,871 shares post-transaction. The sales occurred near the 52-week high of $100.25, within $2.06 of current market price. Across his prior 5 open-market sales at TXT, his trade timing at the 90-day horizon has been poor, with only 1 of 5 sells well-timed and an average 90-day return of +0.9%, meaning the stock typically rose after his sales. His cross-ticker track record shows a 20% well-timed rate on sells with an average 90-day return of +0.9%, similarly reflecting post-sale stock appreciation. The substantial reduction in an executive's position at a company with solid fundamentals ($3.6B revenue, +8.0% growth, P/E 18.88, $17.5B market cap) merits monitoring given the magnitude of the stake reduction, though the sale timing does not exhibit the pattern of prescient sell execution evident in other insiders' histories.

The stock has since declined 7.3% over 30 days and 14.1% over 90 days from the filing date, placing it 24.6% below its 52-week high. Notably, his prior three open-market sales at this ticker showed a 0 out of 3 well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, with average 90-day returns of +1.2% to +1.9%, meaning the stock rose after those sales.
