Significance 6/10

ROK CEO Blake Moret sells 7,231 shares for $2.9M across two trading days in early December at blended avg $401.79.

Blake Moret, President and CEO of Rockwell Automation, executed 7 separate sales totaling 7,231 shares for $2,905,315.68 between December 8 and December 10, 2025, at prices ranging from $400.72 to $403.71—near the stock's current price of $410.23. This represents a -7.1% reduction in his 101,816-share pre-transaction position, leaving him with 94,585 shares post-sale. The stock closed December 8 and 10 at elevated levels within its 52-week range ($218.97–$410.23 high), and has gained +4.8% over 30 days and +17.0% over 90 days prior to these sales. His cross-ticker track record of 20 prior open-market sells shows an average 90-day return of -3.9% with a 93.33% well-timed rate, though his same-ticker history at ROK (5 prior sales, all in November–early December) shows mixed recent results: three November sales exhibited +3.0% to +3.5% 30-day returns, while two December 5 sales remain unmeasurable. The company trades at a P/E of 51.93 on $2.1B latest-quarter revenue and $295.0M net income, a relatively elevated valuation multiple. This multi-day, multi-tranche sale occurs against a backdrop of strong recent price momentum and warrants observation of whether the executive's historical tendency toward well-timed sells (cross-ticker) extends to his ROK holdings as additional data accumulates.

Significance 4/10

ROK CEO Blake Moret sells 1,762 shares at $402.90 avg for $709,914.16 as stock hits 52-week high

Moret Blake D., President and CEO of Rockwell Automation, filed 2 separate sales totaling 1,762 shares (1.8K shares) for $709,914.16 on 2025-12-05, reducing his holdings by 1.9% to 89,749 shares (89.7K shares). The transactions were executed at a blended average price of $402.90, at or within fractions of the current $404.29 price and at the exact 52-week high of $404.29. Across his cross-ticker track record, Moret's prior 19 sells show a 93.33% well-timed rate (higher = better), with an average 90-day return of -4.7% post-sale, indicating a pattern of selling into rallies. His same-ticker history at ROK includes 3 recent sells on 2025-11-06 (outcomes not yet measurable) and a 2024-12-10 sale that produced a -8.3% 90-day return—consistent with selling into strength. The current sale occurs after the stock has appreciated 11.5% over 30 days and 19.0% over 90 days, against a P/E of 51.18 and annual revenue growth of only 0.9%.

Significance 8/10

ROK CEO Moret sells 61,700 shares for $24.2M as stock hits 52-week high; prior sales at ticker were all well-timed by 90 days.

Moret Blake D., President and CEO of Rockwell Automation, filed 3 separate sales totaling 61,700 shares for $24,159,342.67 at an average price of $391.56 on 2025-11-06. This represents a -42.4% reduction in his holdings, from 145,573 shares to 83,873 shares. The sales occurred at $391.24, the current 52-week high, following a +17.2% surge in the prior 30 days and +15.2% over 90 days. Moret's prior transaction history at ROK shows a 4-of-4 well-timed pattern on 90-day horizons across his last measurable sales (2024-12-10 through 2025-09-11), with subsequent declines ranging from -4.7% to -9.5%, indicating a consistent ability to sell ahead of downturns at this specific ticker. The current execution at the 52-week peak, combined with this historical timing pattern and the company's -8.8% annual revenue growth and elevated 45.33 P/E, merits investor scrutiny.

Significance 7/10

ROK CEO Moret Blake D. sold 24,400 shares for $8.5M at $350.13; CEO holdings drop to 83,873 shares (-22.5%)

President and CEO Moret Blake D. sold 24,400 shares of Rockwell Automation at $350.13 for total proceeds of $8,543,196.40, reducing his holdings by 22.5% to 83,873 shares. His prior transactions at ROK demonstrate a pattern of well-timed selling: all 5 previous sales at this ticker (each on 2024-12-10) showed negative 90-day returns ranging from -5.2% to -6.5%, indicating that his prior exits preceded stock declines. This sell occurs when ROK trades at $344.93, down 3.8% from its 52-week high of $358.52, in a company facing annual revenue headwinds (-8.8% year-over-year) and a valuation at P/E 39.97. The material reduction in CEO equity stake by a seller with a demonstrable historical pattern of well-timed exits at this specific ticker warrants investor attention to near-term catalysts and fundamentals.

$852,132
Significance 5/10

ROK President/CEO Moret sells 2,851 shares for $852,132.33 across 7 transactions Dec 9–10, reducing stake by 3.3%

Blake Moret, President and CEO of Rockwell Automation, executed 7 separate sales totaling 2,851 shares for $852,132.33 between December 9–10, 2024, at prices ranging from $294.87 to $302.08 (blended average $298.89). His holdings fell from 86,724 to 83,873 shares (-3.3% vs pre-transaction holdings). The timing overlaps with recent market strength: ROK has gained 7.9% over 30 days and 14.4% over 90 days, currently trading at $293.70, which is 5.6% below the 52-week high of $311.22. His cross-ticker track record shows 19 prior sells with a 75.00% well-timed rate and an average 90-day return of -3.3%, indicating his prior sell decisions have typically preceded stock declines; however, outcomes at ROK specifically remain unmeasurable as his 5 most recent ROK trades (including these sales) are too recent for 90-day measurement. The company carries a high P/E of 57.03 against annual revenue declining 8.8% year-over-year, reflecting a challenging fundamental backdrop.

Significance 3/10

ROK President/CEO Blake Moret sold 1,741 shares at $296.67 on 2024-12-05, reducing holdings by 2.1% to 80,309 shares.

Moret sold 1,741 shares ($516.5K) of his 82.0K-share position, a modest 2.1% reduction that left him with substantial remaining ownership at 80,309 shares. This sale occurred at $296.67, positioned 5.1% below the 52-week high of $311.22, during a period when ROK has gained 15.5% over 90 days and 0.5% over 30 days. His cross-ticker track record shows a 69.23% well-timed rate on 19 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -2.3%, though his more recent same-ticker trading history (five sells on 2024-11-25) remains too early to measure outcomes. ROK's fundamentals show elevated valuation (P/E of 57.36) alongside concerning annual revenue decline of -8.8%, which provides context for potential insider rebalancing activity at a relatively high stock price.

Significance 6/10

ROK CEO Moret Blake D. sold 26,700 shares ($8.0M) in 6 separate transactions on 2024-11-25 at $295.47–$300.61

Blake D. Moret, President and CEO, executed 6 separate sales totaling 26,700 shares for $7,973,389.90 ($8.0M) on 2024-11-25, reducing his holding by 25.5% from 104,815 to 78,115 shares. The blended average price of $298.63 is near the current market price of $298.70 and well below the 52-week high of $311.22. His prior sales at ROK show mixed timing outcomes: of the 3 prior sells on 2023-12-08, 2023-12-11, and 2023-12-11, all produced positive 90-day returns (ranging +5.2% to +9.4%), indicating those sales were not well-timed at ROK specifically—the stock rose after his sales. His cross-ticker track record shows a 47.37% well-timed rate on 19 prior sells, with an average 90-day return of +0.8%, suggesting his recent sales have not historically preceded material declines. At current fundamentals, ROK trades at a P/E of 58.00 with annual revenue growth of -8.8%, indicating a premium valuation amid revenue contraction.
