Director Gregg C. Sengstack buys 25,000 shares of Mueller Water Products (MWA) at $29.58; first buy in insider history.
Gregg C. Sengstack, a director, made his first open-market purchase on 2026-02-25, acquiring 25,000 shares at $29.58 for a total value of $739,415.00. This is a notable shift in behavior: across his cross-ticker transaction history, he has completed 1 prior buy (with an average 90-day return of 14.7%) but has executed 13 prior sells. The purchase occurs after recent positive price momentum, with MWA trading at $30.12 today, just 0.1% below its 52-week high of $30.15, and showing a 24.3% gain over 90 days. The stock's trading at a 23.53 P/E against fundamentals including $318.2M in latest quarterly revenue, $43.2M net income, and 8.8% year-over-year revenue growth. While the timing—purchasing near a 52-week peak after significant recent appreciation—differs from the well-timed sell patterns evident in his prior transactions (77.78% of his 13 prior sells were followed by stock declines), this purchase represents a material commitment to the company at current levels.
