Director Richard A Baldridge sold 27,122 shares of VSAT at $71.74 on 2026-06-03, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 213,355 shares from 240,477 shares. The sale occurred when the stock was trading -25.2% from its 52-week high of $89.78 and -0.2% over the prior 30 days, yet +53.4% over 90 days. His prior trades at VSAT show a mixed pattern: a 2025-09-11 sale followed by a +20.3% 90-day return (the stock rose after he sold), while two buys in September 2024 were followed by negative 90-day returns of -35.2% and -36.3% respectively. Across his cross-ticker history, his two prior sells averaged +6.3% 30-day returns and +17.5% 90-day returns, neither of which were well-timed (well-timed sell rate 0.00%), meaning the stock typically appreciated after his sales. The company's fundamentals show a P/E of 45.39, with net income of $24,968,000 in the latest quarter, though it was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. The timing and size of this sale merit investor observation given the insider's mixed execution record on VSAT and the stock's elevated valuation multiple.

Director Baldridge sells 10,440 DCO shares at $130.83 (-9.9% from 52-week high); company unprofitable, stock down post-sale

Director Richard A. Baldridge sold 10,440 shares (10.4K shares) at $130.83 on 2026-03-10, reducing his holdings by 34.2% from 30,540 shares to 20,100 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high (current price $125.68 is -9.9% from the $139.45 peak), and DCO shares have declined -9.9% since the sale date relative to the 52-week maximum. Ducommun is operating unprofitably with net income of $-64,446,000.00 against revenue of $212,558,000.00 in the latest quarter, creating fundamental headwinds despite 4.8% annual revenue growth. Baldridge's cross-ticker track record shows his prior sells averaged +5.2% 30-day returns and +20.3% 90-day returns, but his 90d well-timed rate of 0.00% indicates those sells did not subsequently outperform—a pattern consistent with this current sale's execution near cyclical highs in an operationally challenged company.

Director Baldridge sold 100,000 VSAT shares at $31.00 for $3.1M, reducing stake 33.7%; stock now at $32.92, up 21.5% in 30 days.

Director Richard A Baldridge liquidated 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) at $31.00 on 2025-09-11, a substantial 33.7% reduction of his pre-transaction holdings of 297,161 shares (297.2K shares). The sale occurred as VSAT traded near its 52-week high of $32.92 (current price is now at +0.0% from that high), following sharp recent gains: 30-day change of +21.5% and 90-day change of +150.2%. Historically, Baldridge's same-ticker trades at VSAT have been unfavorable—both prior buys in September 2024 showed negative 90-day returns (30d -26.0% and -27.3%; 90d -35.2% and -36.3%), and his cross-ticker track record shows zero winning trades at the 90-day mark with an average 90d return of -35.8%. The company remains unprofitable (net income of $-56,434,000.00 for the latest quarter) despite 5.5% annual revenue growth to $1,171,054,000.00. A director's large percentage reduction of holdings near all-time highs, paired with a pattern of poor timing on prior positions in this same stock, warrants investor attention to whether this signals capital allocation choices at an inflection point.

Director Baldridge purchases 55,000 VSAT shares in 2 tranches for $820,000 at $14.75–$15.00, taking initial stake

VIASAT Director Richard A Baldridge purchased 55,000 shares through two separate transactions on 2024-09-12, moving from zero holdings to a new 55,000-share position. The blended average purchase price of $14.91 represents a 16.5% premium to the current price of $12.79, placing the director's entry well above today's market level. The company is unprofitable (net income $-32.9M in the latest fiscal year) despite strong revenue growth of +67.6% and a market cap of $1.6B. The timing of this acquisition—following a -54.7% decline from the 52-week high and a -23.7% drop over the past 30 days—occurs during material market weakness, suggesting the director was willing to establish this new position despite near-term price pressure.
