Timothy Archer, President and CEO of Lam Research, executed 2 separate sales totaling 163,300 shares for $26,758,338.00 on 2025-12-17, reducing his position from 1,095,709 to 932,409 shares (-14.9%). The transaction occurred at $163.86 per share, near the 52-week high of $168.71 (within -2.4%), amid strong recent momentum (+15.0% in 30 days, +29.8% in 90 days). Archer's cross-ticker track record across 20 prior open-market sells shows a 100% well-timed rate with average 90-day returns of -92.1%, and his 5 prior sales at LRCX (all on 2024-06-28) were also uniformly well-timed with 90-day declines ranging from -92.0% to -92.1%. This consistent pattern of selling ahead of declines warrants observation of whether the current stock price sustains its near-peak levels or reverses, particularly given LRCX's elevated P/E of 35.57 and the CEO's demonstrated timing acuity in prior cycles.
