SVP Cynthia Yazdi sold 7,260 MSI shares at $479.30 (total $3.5M); post-sale holdings reduced 43.2%; prior MSI sells all well-timed at 90-day mark.
Cynthia Yazdi, SVP and Chief of Staff to the CEO, sold 7,260 shares at $479.30 on 2026-02-27, reducing her holdings from 16,788 to 9,528 shares. This represents a substantial 43.2% reduction in position size. Notably, this sale follows an identical transaction one day prior (2026-02-26), suggesting either a multi-day execution or phased liquidation. Yazdi's transaction history at MSI is striking: all 4 prior measurable sales at this ticker posted negative 90-day returns (-16.0%, -16.0%, -16.0%, -15.0%), meaning each preceded a stock decline—a pattern of well-timed exits. Her cross-ticker track record shows a 30.77% well-timed rate across 14 prior sales, though with modest average returns (30d +4.7%, 90d +0.6%), suggesting selective timing skill. The stock is currently at $480.22, near its 52-week high of $490.30 and up 19.3% over 30 days, creating a temporal signal: she is liquidating a large block at peak momentum levels, consistent with her prior pattern of selling into strength before subsequent weakness.
