SNA: Sr VP Ward Thomas J sells 12,737 shares for $4,244,065.89 at $333.21 avg; retains 55,100 shares post-sale.
Ward Thomas J, Sr VP & President of the RS&I Group, executed two separate sales totaling 12,737 shares for $4,244,065.89 on 2024-10-28, reducing his holdings from 67,837 shares to 55,100 shares (-18.8% of pre-transaction holdings). The blended average sale price of $333.21 is at the current market price of $333.48 and represents the stock's 52-week high, suggesting execution near peak valuation in what has been a strong recent price period (+15.6% over 30 days, +16.2% over 90 days). Historically, his five prior sales at Snap-on produced mixed timing results: two of the five prior trades achieved negative 90-day returns, indicating he has occasionally sold ahead of declines at this ticker. His cross-ticker track record shows a 40% well-timed sell rate over five prior open-market sales, with an average 90-day return of +0.6% post-sale—meaning those sales generally preceded modest stock appreciation, not sharp declines. The company itself presents solid fundamentals: $1.2B quarterly revenue, $251.1M net income, +5.5% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 16.82.
