John A. Utz, Executive Vice President at Associated Banc-Corp, executed 2 separate sales totaling 39,543 shares (sold 20,499 shares at $23.62 on 2024-10-29 and 19,044 shares at $24.19 on 2024-10-30) for a combined $944,721.61, reducing his holdings by 28.3% from 139,746 to 100,203 shares. The sales occurred near the stock's 52-week highs—just 1.2% below the $24.02 peak—while the stock has appreciated 15.0% over the prior 30 days and 12.2% over 90 days. The company faces headwinds including 11.0% annual revenue decline year-over-year, though current quarterly net income of $88.0M on $329.7M revenue and a P/E of 18.55 remain within reasonable ranges. The timing of these sales during a strong recent rally in conjunction with deteriorating annual revenue growth warrants monitoring of company fundamentals and insider sentiment.
