Director Keith Barnes sold 41,048 shares of Knowles Corp (KN) at $27.16 on 2026-02-19, completely exiting his position.

Keith Barnes, a director, executed a complete liquidation of his Knowles Corp holdings, selling 41,048 shares for $1,114,863.68 at $27.16 per share, leaving zero shares post-transaction. The transaction occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $28.07 (within 0.0% of peak), and follows a 30-day price surge of +17.2% and 90-day appreciation of +25.0%. Notably, Barnes's cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior sales with an average 90-day return of +45.0% and a well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating his historical sells have generally missed subsequent upside; however, this current sale near the 52-week high represents a significant departure from that pattern. The company's fundamentals show solid performance: $152.9M quarterly revenue with +7.2% annual growth and a low P/E of 7.37 at a $2.4B market cap.

Director Keith Barnes sells 121,467 shares (81.7% of holdings) at blended $18.18 as VIAV nears 52-week highs

Keith Barnes, a director at VIAVI Solutions, executed 2 separate sales totaling 121,467 shares for $2,208,231.84, reducing his stake from 148,680 shares to 27,213 shares. The sales occurred at blended average price $18.18 in an environment where the stock is -1.9% from its 52-week high of $18.16 and has climbed 64.9% over 90 days. The company posts negative net income of $-21,400,000.00 against revenue of $299,100,000.00, and carries an elevated P/E of 254.43 reflecting recent price strength despite profitability headwinds. A director liquidating over four-fifths of his position near the upper end of the 52-week range, amid net losses and in conjunction with strong momentum, warrants investor scrutiny of the underlying business trajectory.
