What this transaction means for investors

This sale shouldn’t concern investors. It represented a small percentage of the CEO’s holdings in the company’s stock — a stake that is worth around $52 million at the current ~$100 share price.

Additionally, the sale was executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which insiders commonly use to execute pre-planned transactions to avoid conflicts of interest.

Importantly, TTM revenue grew 7.4% year over year — in line with the previous year’s rate of increase. TTM operating profit is growing faster at 24%, reflecting improving margins.

Investors may view the stock’s decline as a buying opportunity. Analysts still expect earnings to grow around 20% annually in the next several years, while the shares trade at a low forward earnings multiple of 11.8x at the time of writing.
