Significance 5/10

TRMB: CEO Robert G Painter sold 7,500 shares at $66.94 on 2026-04-14 (7.5K shares, $502.0K).

CEO Robert G Painter sold 7,500 shares of TRIMBLE INC. at $66.94, reducing holdings by 4.9% to 146.2K shares. At TRMB specifically, Painter has executed 5 prior open-market sells, with 3 of 4 measurable outcomes showing negative 90-day returns, indicating prior sells at this ticker have been well-timed relative to subsequent price declines. His cross-ticker track record across 14 prior sells shows a 61.54% well-timed rate (negative 90-day returns), slightly above the base case. The current price of $67.67 sits 20.6% below the 52-week high of $85.24 and the stock has declined 8.4% over the past 90 days. Revenue contracted year-over-year (-2.6%) and the valuation stands at a P/E of 38.23 relative to $111.5M in net income. This sale occurs against a backdrop of softening stock performance and declining revenue trajectory, though no FLAGS or scheduled-plan disclosures are indicated in the filing.

Significance 5/10

CEO Robert G Painter sells 7,500 TRMB shares at $70.45; stock down 22.4% from 52-week high and trading near lows

CEO Robert G Painter sold 7,500 shares (27.9% of his pre-transaction holdings) at $70.45, reducing his stake from 26,897 to 19,397 shares. The sale occurred as TRMB is trading at $66.16, down 22.4% from its 52-week high of $85.24, and the stock has declined 17.6% over the past 90 days. At this specific ticker, Painter has executed 5 prior sales, with 2 of 4 measurable outcomes well-timed at the 90-day mark (stock subsequently fell). His cross-ticker sales history shows a 58.33% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of -1.7%, suggesting modest but inconsistent timing acumen. The transaction is material given his CEO position and the scale of the reduction, though the absolute dollar value ($528.4K) is moderate relative to the company's $15.5B market cap.

Significance 5/10

TRMB: CEO Robert G. Painter sold 7,500 shares at $80.88 on 2026-01-13; holds 34,397 shares post-sale.

Robert G. Painter, President & CEO, sold 7,500 shares (representing 17.9% of his pre-transaction holdings) at $80.88, reducing his stake from 41,897 to 34,397 shares. The sale occurred $2.31 above the current market price of $78.57, placing the transaction near the high end of the 52-week range ($55.12–$85.24). At this specific ticker (TRMB), his prior 5 trades show mixed timing: only 1 of 3 measurable 90-day outcomes was well-timed (negative post-sale return), and his last two sells in December and November occurred in a period when the stock subsequently gained 4.8% and an ongoing decline respectively. Cross-ticker, his 12 prior sells average +0.9% 90-day return with a 50% well-timed rate, indicating no systematic advantage in timing exits. The company's fundamentals show modest valuation (P/E 12.82) against slight annual revenue headwinds (-3.0% year-over-year), with current quarterly net income of $111.5M on $901.2M revenue.

Painter, President & CEO of Trimble, sold 7,500 shares at $81.39 on 2025-12-09, reducing his holdings by 15.2%. At his cross-ticker track record, his 11 prior sells averaged +0.8% return over 30 days and +0.2% over 90 days, with a 55.56% well-timed rate. At Trimble specifically, his timing has been more mixed: 2 of his 3 measurable prior sells at TRMB showed negative 90-day returns, suggesting moderate timing skill at this ticker. The stock is currently at $83.34, 2.2% below its 52-week high of $85.24, and has risen 4.7% over the prior 30 days. Trimble's fundamentals show $901.2M in latest quarterly revenue, a P/E of 13.60, and annual revenue declining 3.0% year-over-year, which may contextualize the sale as part of normal portfolio management rather than an alarm signal.

TRMB President & CEO Painter sold 7,500 shares at $79.50 on 2025-11-11; stock now $77.02, -9.6% from 52-week high, revenue declining -3.0% YoY

Robert G Painter, President & CEO of Trimble Inc., sold 7,500 shares (7.5K shares) at $79.50, reducing holdings to 84,879 shares and capturing $596,250.00 in proceeds. His prior TRMB sales history shows a 3-of-3 pattern of well-timed sells at the 90-day mark, suggesting disciplined execution around price inflection points. The stock has declined 9.6% from its 52-week high of $85.24 and now trades at $77.02, below the sale price, marking another potentially well-timed exit. Contextualized within the company's -3.0% annual revenue decline and moderate 12.56 P/E, this transaction reflects an insider reducing exposure into relative strength while the business navigates headwinds.

Significance 4/10

TRMB President & CEO Robert Painter sells 7,500 shares at $75.65; holds 92,379 shares post-sale amid declining fundamentals

Robert Painter, President & CEO of Trimble, sold 7,500 shares at $75.65 on 2025-10-14 for $567,375.00 (total value), reducing his stake from 99,879 to 92,379 shares. The sale occurred as TRMB trades -8.6% from its 52-week high of $85.24 and the company faces headwinds: annual revenue growth of -3.0% and a recent 30-day price decline of -3.7%. Painter's prior transaction history at TRMB shows a concentrated pattern of five sales within a single month (August–September 2025), with near-term 30-day returns ranging from -5.2% to -0.1%, suggesting he has been executing sales during a period of stock weakness. His cross-ticker track record on prior sells averaged a 90-day return of +9.5%, but at the ticker-specific level, his TRMB sales lack measurable 90-day outcomes and provide no indication of prescient timing so far; the 30-day data from recent TRMB sales shows modest negative returns, consistent with selling into a downward drift.

Significance 5/10

Director Robert G Painter bought 350 SNPS shares at $425.44; stock down 35.0% from 52-week high at $419.20 current.

Director Painter purchased 350 shares of Synopsys at $425.44, increasing his holdings by 18.0% to 2,291 shares total. The purchase occurred after the stock has declined 35.0% from its 52-week high of $645.35 and is trading 30 days down 32.2%. His prior open-market trade history shows 9 sales with an average 90-day return of +13.0%, indicating his prior sells were poorly timed (the stock rose after he exited). Current fundamentals show revenue of $1,739,737,000.00 (latest quarter) with a P/E of 39.00, suggesting the company remains profitable despite recent share price weakness. The timing and magnitude of this director-level accumulation against a backdrop of substantial recent depreciation warrants investor attention to the underlying business outlook and any material developments that may have prompted this addition to his stake.

Significance 4/10

Trimble CEO Robert G Painter sold 7,500 shares at $81.31 on 2025-09-09, reducing stake 7.0% to 99.9K shares.

Painter sold 7,500 shares at $81.31 for $609.8K, reducing his holdings by 7.0%. The sale occurred at a price 2.8% below the 52-week high of $85.24, and the stock has risen 16.6% over the prior 90 days. His prior four TRMB sales between 2025-08-08 and 2025-08-12 each saw negative 30-day returns ranging from -0.1% to -5.2%, yet his cross-ticker track record shows 8 prior sells with a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating historical difficulty capturing beneficial sell timing. The transaction follows a pattern of frequent sales at this ticker within a narrow two-week window, though no scheduled trading plan flag is noted in the facts provided.

Significance 4/10

TRMB CEO Robert Painter sold 7,500 shares at $82.93 on 2025-08-12; retains 107,379 shares post-transaction.

TRMB's CEO executed a sale of 7,500 shares on 2025-08-12 at $82.93, reducing holdings by 6.5% to 107,379 shares. The stock has appreciated 5.3% over the past 30 days and 16.4% over 90 days, currently trading at $83.67, just 1.8% below its 52-week high of $85.24. TRMB's fundamentals show revenue of $875.7M in the latest quarter with net income of $89.2M, though annual revenue growth is negative at -3.0%, and the stock trades at a P/E of 13.65. Notably, the CEO conducted multiple sales at this ticker in consecutive days (2025-08-11, 2025-08-08, 2025-07-08), suggesting a pattern of systematic selling rather than isolated portfolio action. His cross-ticker track record shows 7 prior open-market sales averaged a 30-day return of +7.0%, but same-ticker outcomes remain inconclusive with only one measurable 30-day result of +4.6%.

$17,457,386
Significance 6/10

CEO Painter sells 208.8K shares (64.5% of holdings) for $17.5M at $83.59 avg in 4 transactions

Robert G Painter, President & CEO of Trimble Inc., executed 4 separate sales totaling 208,847 shares for $17,457,386.40 between August 8–11, 2025, reducing his holdings from 323,726 shares to 114,879 shares. The blended average price was $83.59, within 1.9% of the 52-week high of $85.24, and the stock has climbed 4.5% over 30 days and 17.3% over 90 days. Painter's prior TRMB sales show modest 30-day returns (4.6–11.5%), and his cross-ticker historical 90-day return after sells averaged +7.0%, indicating his past sells have generally occurred before further gains—a less-favorable timing pattern. This substantial reduction in CEO holdings during a period of recent upward price momentum, combined with Trimble's -3.0% annual revenue growth and P/E of 13.64, warrants attention to the timing and volume as context for upcoming company performance and capital allocation priorities.
