CFO Watkins sells 9,356 shares (45.1% of holdings) for $1.4M at $153.69 avg; stock at $148.23 currently
Watkins James M, the CFO & SECRETARY, executed 2 separate sales totaling 9,356 shares for $1,437,920.83 on 2024-09-10, reducing his holdings by 45.1%. The blended average transaction price of $153.69 sits near the stock's 52-week high of $153.42, and significantly above the current price of $148.23. His prior sale at BOOT on 2023-11-07 posted a 90-day return of +8.4%, indicating the stock rose after that sale—a poorly-timed outcome by insider-sell standards. The company's annual revenue growth stands at +0.6% with a P/E of 29.82, suggesting limited organic expansion against a relatively elevated valuation. The sale magnitude and timing warrant monitoring given the proximity to the 52-week high and the CFO's material reduction in ownership stake.
