Brett Alan Cope, as President & CEO, sold 4,440 shares (4.4K shares) of POWELL INDUSTRIES INC at $272.64 on 2026-06-11 for a total value of $1,210,521.60, reducing his holdings from 490,113 shares to 485,673 shares. This transaction was executed under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-11-26, meaning it was scheduled rather than discretionary. His same-ticker sale history at POWL shows mixed outcomes: his most recent prior sale on 2026-05-14 posted a 30d return of -2.1%, while an earlier sale on 2026-04-09 returned +32.2% in 30 days, though his 2025 sales at this ticker coincided with steeper declines of -59.7% and -59.9% over the subsequent 30 days. The stock currently trades at $294.75, down 10.1% from its 52-week high of $328.00, although it has appreciated 75.9% over the 90-day period prior to this sale. With a P/E of 57.46 and net income of $45,887,000 on revenue of $296,615,000, the company's fundamentals show 9.1% annual revenue growth, providing context for the elevated valuation multiple.

CEO Brett Alan Cope sells 4,440 POWL shares at $301.00 under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan; retains 490,113 shares post-sale.

Brett Alan Cope, President & CEO of Powell Industries, sold 4,440 shares at $301.00 for $1,336,440.00 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-11-26, reducing his holdings to 490,113 shares. Because this transaction is scheduled rather than discretionary, no inference about timing conviction or market outlook can be drawn from the sale itself. Cope's holdings remain substantial at 490.1K shares, indicating continued equity alignment with the company. The stock has appreciated 27.4% over the past 30 days and 50.1% over 90 days, trading at $292.65—10.8% below its 52-week high of $328.00.

Powell CEO Brett Cope sold 4,440 shares at $233.96 on 2026-04-09; historically well-timed seller with 4 of 4 POWL sales preceding 90-day declines.

COPE's sale of 4,440 shares (4.4K shares) at $233.96 on 2026-04-09 occurred near the 52-week high of $230.94, just 0.8% below peak. His timing pattern at Powell Industries is notable: all 4 prior measurable sales at this ticker were followed by 90-day declines ranging from -53.4% to -54.2%, establishing a 100% well-timed rate at POWL specifically. His cross-ticker track record shows a 90d well-timed rate of 100.00% across 15 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -54.7%, indicating consistent prescience in exit timing. The current 30-day and 90-day price movements of +36.6% and +72.1% respectively represent strong recent momentum, but the stock remains -0.8% from its 52-week high where this sale occurred. This sale reduces his holdings by -2.6% to 164,851 shares while maintaining a substantial executive position in the $2.8B market-cap company with solid 14.84 P/E valuation.

POWL CEO Brett Cope sells 1,480 shares at $504.80; stock now $170.61, -66% from sale price. Pattern mirrors 5 prior POWL sales, all well-timed declines.

Brett Alan Cope, President & CEO of Powell Industries, sold 1,480 shares at $504.80 on 2026-03-12 for $747,104.00, retaining 169,291 shares post-transaction. The current price of $170.61 represents a dramatic -66% decline from the transaction price, and the stock is -13.7% from its 52-week high. This sale is consistent with Cope's documented prior behavior at POWL: all 5 of his previous trades at this ticker (all on 2025-06-27) were sales, and 100% of them proved well-timed with negative 90-day returns ranging from -53.4% to -56.4%. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% well-timed rate across 14 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -54.7%. The current drawdown of approximately 66% from sale price aligns with the pattern of sharp declines that have followed his prior POWL and cross-ticker dispositions. While the company maintains solid fundamentals—$251.2M quarterly revenue, $41.4M net income, 9.1% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 11.06—the repeated, well-timed exit pattern by the CEO warrants investor scrutiny of what circumstances prompted consistent high-conviction sales at substantially higher valuations.

POWL CEO Brett Alan Cope sells 9.9K shares for $2.0M across 14 trades (Jun 26-27); stock down 40.3% from 52-week high to $70.15.

Brett Alan Cope, President & CEO of Powell Industries, executed 14 separate sales totaling 9,874 shares for $2,046,446.11 at blended average price of $207.26 across June 26–27, reducing his holdings from 157,345 shares to 147,471 shares (a 6.3% reduction). The transaction prices ($200.06–$216.82) reflect a period sharply divergent from the current market price of $70.15, which is 40.3% below the 52-week high of $117.46 and represents an apparent reversal from recent momentum (30-day change: +24.1%, 90-day change: +19.6%). The multi-day, multi-price execution pattern suggests systematic liquidation rather than a single opportunistic event. Against context of the company's strong fundamentals (annual revenue growth +44.8%, P/E 4.88, net income $46.3M on $278.6M revenue), the timing and scale warrant attention to whether this reflects portfolio-level decisions or signals material changes in the CEO's conviction.
