75,000 shares
$2,630,625
Significance 4/10

CFO Manko Steve sells 75,000 shares (44% of holdings) for $2.63M as stock rebounds from multi-year lows.

CFO Manko Steve has divested a substantial portion of his stake—nearly 44% of his holdings—marking his sixth open-market sale of SKYT stock in the past three years. The timing is notable: the stock has rallied sharply from deep weakness and is now trading modestly below its 52-week high, a posture that typically attracts profit-taking. His prior five sales at this ticker showed mixed results: four were poorly timed as the stock rose after each exit, but one was well-timed as shares declined afterward—a pattern that does not strongly support conviction in recent or near-term downside. The company itself is profitable with solid revenue growth, but the most recent quarter saw a sharp swing to losses, which may have weighed on the CFO's confidence. This appears to be a high-conviction reduction in exposure at a moment of strength, not a routine rebalance—the magnitude and the insider's role as an officer with operational visibility make this worth tracking, though the mixed historical accuracy of his prior exits tempers any bearish inference.

84,215 shares
$2,560,810
Significance 5/10

CFO Manko Steve sold 84,215 shares of SKYT at $30.41 for $2,560,809.72; now holds 171,567 shares.

Manko Steve, CFO of SkyWater Technology, sold 84,215 shares (−32.9% of pre-transaction holdings) at $30.41 on 2026-04-14 for a total of $2,560,809.72. The stock is currently at $32.53, near its 52-week high of $34.78 and up 17.5% over the past 30 days. At this ticker, his prior 5 trades (all sells) show a mixed pattern: 0 of 3 measurable 90-day outcomes were well-timed; the most recent prior sale on 2025-11-14 resulted in a 90-day return of +63.3%, indicating the stock rose substantially after his sale. Fundamentals remain solid (annual revenue growth +29.2%, P/E 6.21, $144.0M net income), and the company's market cap stands at $1.6B. The sale represents a substantial reduction in his holdings and occurs at a price well below the 52-week high, yet the overall pattern at this ticker does not suggest consistent timing ability relative to subsequent price movements.

Significance 6/10

CFO Manko Steve sold 91,109 shares at $27.84 for $2.5M, reducing stake by 29.7% to 215.2K shares

CFO Steve Manko executed 2 separate sales totaling 91,109 shares for $2,536,458.28, representing a 29.7% reduction in his post-transaction holdings at SkyWater Technology. The sales occurred at $27.84, which is 21.3% below the 52-week high of $34.78 and 1.8% above current price of $27.36. Regarding timing context: his prior 4 measurable sales at SKYT showed 0 well-timed outcomes at the 90-day mark, with post-sale 90-day returns ranging from +2.8% to +63.3%, suggesting the stock continued rising after his prior exits. SKYT fundamentals show strong absolute performance (revenue $150.7M, net income $144.0M, annual growth +29.2%, P/E 5.22), though the stock has declined 6.4% in the prior 30 days from the sale date, which may provide context for evaluating whether this exit precedes further weakness or represents missed upside.

Sell
50,000 shares
$869,900
Significance 4/10

CFO Manko Steve sold 50,000 shares (50.0K) of SKYT at $17.40 on 2025-11-14; stock now at $15.71

On November 14, 2025, Steve Manko (CFO) sold 50,000 shares at $17.40, reducing his holding by 15.3% from 327.1K to 277.1K shares. The stock has since declined to $15.71, now trading 33.5% below its 52-week high of $23.64, though up 39.0% over 90 days. Among his cross-ticker track record of 5 prior sales, a 50.00% well-timed rate and average 90-day return of +13.3% suggests limited predictive accuracy; at SKYT specifically, his 5 prior sells show mixed outcomes—one 90-day measurement (2023-08-16) was negative at -10.7%, while the most recent measurable trade (2025-08-08) posted a strong +37.4% 90-day return, indicating his timing at this ticker has been inconsistent. The company's fundamentals show strong recent profitability ($144.0M net income on $150.7M quarterly revenue) and attractive valuation (P/E of 6.04), though it was unprofitable on a full-year basis, creating ambiguity about the company's earnings trajectory. This sale does not clearly signal directional conviction either way given the insider's mixed historical outcomes at this ticker and the disconnect between recent quarterly results and annual profitability.

Sell
60,829 shares
$1,058,425
Significance 6/10

CFO Steve Manko sells 60,829 shares of SKYT at $17.40 (99.4% below current $18.66); stock +55.6% in 30 days, +70.4% in 90 days.

Steve Manko, CFO of SkyWater Technology, sold 60,829 shares at $17.40 on 2025-09-26, reducing his holdings by 15.7% from 387,951 shares to 327,122 shares. The sale occurred at a significant discount to the current price of $18.66, and notably at the exact 52-week low, with the stock subsequently appreciating 55.6% over the following 30 days and 70.4% over 90 days. Within SkyWater specifically, Manko's prior four trades show a mixed pattern: a 2023 sale was well-timed with a -10.7% 90-day return, but two more recent 2025 sales (2025-08-08 and 2025-09-22) both posted negative 30-day returns of -25.1% and unknown 90-day outcomes. The company itself faces headwinds—reporting a $-10.0M net loss over the most recent full fiscal year despite 19.4% annual revenue growth—which may explain the CFO's reduction of position. However, the timing of this particular sale at the 52-week low, followed by a sharp recovery in the stock price, stands in contrast to the statement's own prior track record at this ticker.

43,383 shares
$656,298
Significance 5/10

CFO Steve Manko sold 43.4K SKYT shares at $15.13 on 2025-09-22; stock gained +31.6% in 30 days after sale

Steve Manko (CFO) sold 43,383 shares at $15.13, reducing holdings by 10.5% to 368,407 shares. The sale occurred at a price near the 52-week peak ($16.06), and the stock has subsequently appreciated +31.6% over 30 days and +46.4% over 90 days since the transaction. His cross-ticker track record shows a 90d well-timed rate of 100.00% across 3 prior sells, but at SKYT specifically, outcomes are mixed: the prior 2025-08-08 sale at this ticker showed -25.1% 30-day return (well-timed), while the 2023-08-16 sale delivered -10.7% at 90 days (well-timed). However, this current sale contradicts that pattern—the stock has moved sharply upward post-transaction. Against this, the company remains unprofitable with net income of $-9,978,000.00 despite +19.4% annual revenue growth, creating tension between growth momentum and fundamental profitability concerns.

37,845 shares
$515,525
Significance 5/10

CFO Manko Steve sold 37,845 shares of SKYT at $13.62; stock now at $12.65, down 21.2% from 52-week high despite +27.3% 30-day surge.

Manko Steve, CFO of SkyWater Technology, sold 37,845 shares on 2025-08-08 at $13.62, reducing his holdings by 9.3% from 406,252 to 368,407 shares. The transaction occurred at a price 7.1% above the current market price of $12.65, though the stock has surged +27.3% over the past 30 days and +53.3% over the past 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00% across 2 prior sells, and at this same ticker his prior 2025 trade was well-timed at the 90-day mark. The company remains unprofitable (net income of $-9,978,000.00 in the latest quarter) despite strong annual revenue growth of +19.4%, creating a fundamental backdrop of execution risk. The CFO's sale, combined with the stock's recent 21.2% decline from its 52-week high despite near-term momentum, invites scrutiny of whether inside visibility into profitability improvement justifies recent gains.
