SVP Goldman sells 4,489 shares at $365.11 blended avg, reducing AYI stake by 42.6% to 6,056 shares

Barry R. Goldman, SVP & General Counsel, filed 7 separate sales totaling 4,489 shares for $1,638,989.25 on 2025-10-28, executed at prices ranging from $362.80 to $370.23. This reduces his post-transaction holdings to 6,056 shares, down 42.6% from 10,545 shares pre-transaction. The transaction occurred at a blended average price of $365.11, near the 52-week high of $370.46 (only 2.8% below peak), while current price sits at $359.89. His prior 3 measurable sells at AYI all resulted in stock appreciation over 90 days (ranging 9.8% to 13.8%), indicating poorly-timed exits relative to subsequent price action. Against the backdrop of strong fundamentals—$1.2B revenue (+13.1% YoY growth), $98.4M net income, 29.33 P/E ratio, and $11.0B market cap—the scale and timing of this liquidation warrants attention to whether it reflects estate planning, portfolio rebalancing, or other non-trading motivations.
