GWW CFO Merriwether sold 1,488 shares for $1,658,042.08 on 2026-04-02; stake reduced 12.4%.

Merriwether Deidra C, Senior Vice President and CFO of W.W. Grainger, executed 12 separate sales totaling 1,488 shares for $1,658,042.08 on April 2, 2026, at prices ranging from $1,097.27 to $1,118.61 per share (blended average $1,114.28). Her post-transaction holdings fell to 10,541 shares from 12,029 shares, reducing her stake by 12.4%. At the current price of $1,117.45, the stock stands 7.1% below its 52-week high and down 3.0% over 30 days despite an 11.3% gain over 90 days. Her cross-ticker sales history shows 20 prior open-market sells with a well-timed rate of 0.00% and a positive average 90-day return of 5.3% after sales—indicating her prior sales have generally not preceded declines. At GWW specifically, her prior five trades (all sales on 2026-03-24) lack measurable outcomes. The company's valuation (P/E 34.67) and recent financial performance (revenue growth 4.5% annually, Q-latest revenue of $4,657,000,000.00) provide context for evaluating the significance of this substantial reduction in her position.

CFO Merriwether sells 2,339 shares ($2.5M) in 12 transactions at GWW on 2026-03-24

Merriwether Deidra C, Sr. VP & CFO of W.W. Grainger, executed 12 separate sales totaling 2,339 shares for $2,490,393.39 at prices ranging from $1,044.84 to $1,072.56 on 2026-03-24, reducing her holdings by 18.6% to 10,235 shares. The blended average sale price was $1,064.73, compared to the current price of $1,075.87, placing the transaction 1.0% below current market levels. Her prior 5 sales at GWW (all on 2025-04-02) posted positive 90-day returns averaging +5.1%, indicating those earlier sales were not well-timed for capturing subsequent declines. The cross-ticker track record shows a 25.00% well-timed rate across 12 prior sells with mixed trailing performance, neither affirming nor contradicting timing acumen on this particular disposal.

GWW CFO Merriwether Deidra C sold 1,164 shares (10.2% of holdings) across 8 transactions for $1,160,644.00 at avg $997.12

Merriwether Deidra C, Senior Vice President & CFO of W.W. Grainger, executed 8 separate sales totaling 1,164 shares for $1,160,644.00 on 2025-04-02, reducing holdings from 11,399 to 10,235 shares. The transactions spanned a narrow $990.18–$1,002.99 price range with a blended average of $997.12, executed as the stock trades 20.3% below its 52-week high of $1220.93 and 2.5% below the current price of $973.41. Her prior GWW-specific trade history shows 3 of 4 previous sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent November 2024 sale delivering a 9.0% 30-day gain; cross-ticker track record shows a 75.00% well-timed rate across all holdings. The execution pattern and pricing suggest deliberate liquidation rather than scheduled plan activity, though the modest 10.2% reduction in holdings and the company's solid fundamentals (revenue $4.4B, P/E 24.59) context the magnitude of insider activity.

CFO Deidra C Merriwether sold 704 GWW shares at $1,105.59; stock up 8.6% in 30d, near 52-week high

Deidra C Merriwether, Sr. VP & CFO of W.W. Grainger, sold 704 shares on 2024-11-01 for $778,336.70, reducing her holdings by 6.9% to 9,509 shares. The sale occurred at $1,105.59 while the stock has since climbed to $1,122.02, within 0.4% of its 52-week high of $1,127.00, following a strong 30-day rally of +8.6% and 90-day gain of +18.0%. Her cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior sells with a 90d well-timed rate of 100.00%, and at GWW specifically, all 3 prior sales (all on 2024-02-08) achieved negative 90-day returns averaging -0.2%, indicating historically well-timed exit points. This transaction reverses that pattern: the stock has appreciated post-sale in the immediate term, suggesting the sale preceded a continued advance rather than a decline. Against a backdrop of solid fundamentals—annual revenue growth of +8.2%, quarterly revenue of $4,388,000,000.00, and net income of $486,000,000.00—the sale does not appear to signal operational concern but rather reflects portfolio rebalancing at a valuation near historical highs.
