TWST President/COO sells 68,967 shares for $3,562,416.57 in 4 transactions on 2026-02-17
Finn Patrick John, President and COO of Twist Bioscience, executed 4 separate sales totaling 68,967 shares for $3,562,416.57 on 2026-02-17, reducing his holdings by 19.3% to 287,788 shares. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $50.32 to $53.11, with a blended average of $51.65, against a current price of $52.49. At the same-ticker level, John's prior 4 trades at TWST show mixed timing outcomes—1 of 3 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark—while his cross-ticker track record (4 prior sells across all tickers) averaged +4.8% over 90 days with a 33.33% well-timed rate, suggesting his sells have not consistently predicted downturns. The company remains unprofitable (net income of $-30,507,000.00 in the latest quarter) despite 20.3% annual revenue growth, and the stock has risen 83.8% over 90 days and 26.0% over 30 days, near its 52-week high of $54.92. The substantial sale size and dollar amount warrant investor attention given the timing relative to recent strong momentum.
