DCI CFO Robinson Scott J. sold 83,600 shares for $6,189,744.00 (blended avg $74.04) on 2024-09-27; reduced holdings 68.9%.
Robinson Scott J., Chief Financial Officer of Donaldson Co Inc, executed 2 separate sales totaling 83,600 shares for $6,189,744.00 at $74.04 per share on 2024-09-27, reducing his holdings from 121,302 shares to 37,702 shares—a 68.9% reduction in his position. The sale occurred near the company's 52-week high of $75.56 (stock currently at $73.70), and his prior DCI transactions show a 3-of-4 pattern of well-timed 90-day exits: his most recent DCI sale on 2024-07-02 yielded a 90-day return of +3.8%, but earlier sales on 2023-07-03 and 2024-03-18/19 were followed by declines of -4.5%, -2.2%, and -0.8% respectively. His cross-ticker track record across 4 prior sells shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 75.00%, indicating a historical pattern of selling before downturns. The substantial concentrated reduction in a $8.8B market-cap company with solid fundamentals (P/E 19.55, $113.5M net income on $927.9M revenue) and recent positive momentum (+1.3% over 30 days, +4.0% over 90 days) merits attention to whether this large liquidation signals confidence-related factors or other corporate considerations.
