Johnson Gerald

Director Johnson Gerald purchased 961 shares of Eaton across two days in May, representing his 9th and 10th open-market purchases in 36 months.

Johnson Gerald, a director at Eaton, has continued his pattern of steady accumulation by purchasing nearly 1,000 shares across two separate transactions in early May. The stock is trading below its 52-week high but well above its 52-week low, with meaningful gains over the recent three-month period. This purchase extends a clear preference for buying rather than selling: over the past three years, Johnson has made ten open-market purchases against only two sales, demonstrating consistent conviction in adding to his position. However, his timing on prior purchases at this company has been mixed—one was well-timed and two were poorly-timed at the 30-day horizon, though the longer-term picture improves to two well-timed and one poorly-timed over 90 days. Eaton itself remains profitable with solid quarterly revenue and a healthy net income, though the valuation appears stretched at current multiples. The most recent prior purchase at this company saw a significant gain over three months before slipping in the near term, suggesting volatility in investor perception despite operational stability.

ETN Director Johnson Gerald doubles stake to 400 shares via $67,978 buy at $339.89

Johnson Gerald, a Director of Eaton Corp plc, purchased 200 shares at $339.89 on 2025-11-18, doubling his prior holding from 200 to 400 shares. This represents a 100% increase in his position size. His cross-ticker track record shows 7 prior buys with an average 90-day return of +4.3% and a 50.00% win rate. At the same ticker (ETN), his previous buy on 2025-08-11 delivered a 90-day return of +3.5%, demonstrating aligned timing. The current price of $345.65 is -12.0% from the 52-week high and down -8.5% over 30 days, placing the purchase near a local trough relative to recent price action. For a company with $7.0B in quarterly revenue, +7.2% annual growth, and $1.0B net income, this director-level accumulation during a period of stock weakness warrants investor attention.

Director Johnson Gerald bought 100 ETN shares at $384.34 (10-31-2025), doubling holdings to 200 shares in modest open-market purchase.

Director Gerald purchased 100 shares of Eaton Corp plc at $384.34, increasing his total holdings from 100 to 200 shares. The purchase occurred near the 52-week high of $392.76, with the stock currently trading at $377.72, representing a -3.8% decline from peak levels. His cross-ticker track record shows 6 prior purchases with a 40% win rate at the 90-day horizon, suggesting modest predictive value. At Eaton specifically, his one prior August purchase produced a +0.4% 30-day return, but the 90-day outcome remains incomplete. The transaction size of $38,433.50 is modest relative to Eaton's $146.7B market capitalization and Gerald's baseline holdings, warranting disclosure but not suggesting material conviction.

Director Johnson Gerald purchases 100 ETN shares at $361.00; first holding in Eaton Corp after zero prior position.

Johnson Gerald, a director at Eaton Corp plc, made an open-market purchase of 100 shares at $361.00 on 2025-08-11, establishing his first shareholding in the company at a total value of $36,100.00. The current price of $363.30 sits -7.5% below the 52-week high of $392.76, placing the purchase in the upper-middle range of recent trading; the stock is up 10.4% over 90 days and 0.7% over 30 days. Across his broader trading history, the insider has completed 5 prior open-market purchases with an average 90-day return of +4.4% and a 40.00% win rate, though this metric reflects cross-ticker outcomes and provides limited insight into his effectiveness at this specific security. The transaction remains modest in absolute terms ($36.1K) relative to Eaton's $141.4B market cap and the company's solid fundamentals—$7.0B quarterly revenue, $982.0M net income, and 7.2% year-over-year revenue growth—though the elevated P/E of 36.04 warrants consideration of valuation context for this purchase decision.

Director Gerald Johnson buys 100 CAT shares at $318.48; stock up 12.2% in 30 days but down 10.7% in 90 days from purchase date.

Johnson Gerald, a Caterpillar director, purchased 100 shares at $318.48 on 2025-05-02, increasing his holdings to 3,165 shares. The 30-day return following this purchase is +12.2%, but the 90-day outlook is less constructive at -10.7%, though current price at $323.11 remains modestly above transaction price. His prior buy record at CAT shows mixed timing outcomes: 1 of 4 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with his most recent CAT purchase on 2025-02-04 declining 6.7% over 30 days and 11.6% over 90 days. Across his cross-ticker history, his buy trades average -1.7% at 30 days and -3.8% at 90 days with a 25% win rate, suggesting a pattern of below-average entry timing. The company's fundamentals show modest valuation (P/E 13.88) but a concerning annual revenue decline of 3.4% year-over-year.

Director Gerald Johnson bought 100 CAT shares at $365.57 on 2025-02-04; stock now down 13.9% from 52-week high.

Gerald Johnson, a Director at Caterpillar, purchased 100 shares at $365.57, increasing his holdings to 3,053 shares post-transaction. The purchase occurs with CAT trading at $358.85, down 13.9% from the 52-week high of $416.88 and down 12.1% over the past 90 days. His prior open-market history shows mixed timing results: across all tickers, his three prior buys averaged +7.1% 90-day returns with a 50% win rate, while at Caterpillar specifically, only one of two measurable 90-day buy outcomes was positive. The current purchase follows a December buy that is still -8.7% at 30 days, suggesting recent Caterpillar positions have underperformed. With the company showing solid fundamentals (P/E of 16.24, annual revenue growth of +12.8%, net income of $2,463,000,000.00), the trade reflects buying into a period of stock weakness, though the director's timing record at this ticker offers limited evidence of consistent predictive value.

The current price of $394.98 is 5.2% below the 52-week high, while the stock has posted +19.9% gains over the past 90 days and +3.0% over the past 30 days. Caterpillar's fundamentals remain solid with $16.1B in quarterly revenue, $2.5B net income, +12.8% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 17.87, though the transaction timing relative to near-peak valuation and the director's inconsistent prior outcomes at this ticker merit attention.

Director Johnson Gerald bought 100 CAT shares at $338.59 on 2024-09-04; stock now -12.1% from 52-week high at $333.56.

Director Johnson Gerald purchased 100 shares of Caterpillar at $338.59, increasing holdings by 3.6% to 2,842 shares.

Gerald's cross-ticker trading history shows 1 prior buy with a 90-day return of -8.8% and 2 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%. At Caterpillar specifically, a buy on 2024-05-20 returned -3.6% over 90 days. This modest purchase by a director occurs within a company posting strong fundamentals: $16.7B quarterly revenue, +12.8% annual growth, $2.7B net income, and a P/E of 14.70, though the insider's prior timing outcomes provide limited confidence in this trade's near-term direction.
