Todd A. Adams, Chairman and CEO of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions, executed 3 separate sales totaling 538,397 shares on 2026-02-09 and 2026-02-10 for $28,115,309.96 at a blended average price of $52.22, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 2,256,684 shares—a net reduction of 19.3% versus pre-transaction holdings. This is the CEO's largest concentrated liquidation event on the stock. At the time of sale, the stock was near its 52-week high of $52.78 (current price $51.73 is -2.0% from peak), having appreciated +12.5% in the prior 30 days and +8.9% in the prior 90 days. Examining his prior 5 trades at ZWS specifically, 4 of 5 previous sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark (negative subsequent returns), suggesting the insider has demonstrated pattern recognition of local peaks; this current sale executed at the proximate 52-week high warrants close investor monitoring of the company's near-term operational trajectory and management's disclosed outlook.

CEO Todd Adams executed three separate sales totaling 287,508 shares for $11,338,063.12 on November 6-7, 2024, at prices between $39.14 and $39.83—near the stock's 52-week high of $39.91. His stake fell from 2,559,855 shares to 2,272,347 shares, a -11.2% reduction. The sales occurred during a period of strong recent momentum: the stock is up 8.7% over 30 days and 29.2% over 90 days. Across his cross-ticker open-market history, Adams' prior sells averaged a 90-day return of -1.1% with a 66.67% well-timed rate; at ZWS specifically, two of three prior sales saw stock declines within 90 days. The high valuation (P/E of 48.38) and strong recent appreciation provide context for evaluating whether subsequent price action validates this liquidation timing.
