Brannan Andrew

Andrew Brannan, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Cirrus Logic (CRUS), has been a consistent seller of company stock over the past year, with no open-market purchases recorded in his SEC Form 4 filings. Across 38 total transactions, his cumulative sales reached approximately $2.91 million, all in CRUS shares, while his acquisition activity consisted entirely of option exercises, restricted stock grants, and tax-withholding events—none of which represent a discretionary buy signal. The most recent cluster of trades, filed in late June 2026, shows a single open-market sale of $935,405.44 paired with an option exercise valued at $568,832, a pattern that suggests the sale was tied to the exercise rather than a fresh bearish conviction. The selling cadence has been steady but not frantic. In November 2025, Brannan executed three open-market sales totaling roughly $1.06 million, alongside two option exercises worth a combined $618,461.20. A smaller sale of $107,105.28 occurred on the same date, bringing that day’s total disposition to over $1.17 million. More recently, in May 2026, he sold $289,108.75 in CRUS stock, again following a zero-value option exercise, and in February 2026, he saw $347,954.86 in shares withheld to cover tax liabilities from vesting awards. The absence of any "P" (purchase) codes across the entire filing history—combined with the mechanical nature of the "M" and "F" transactions—points to a seller who is monetizing equity compensation rather than actively trimming a position on valuation concerns. The data also reveals a strong reliance on equity-based compensation. Brannan received multiple "A" grants in February 2025 and February 2026, each valued at $0 on the filing, which are typical annual retention awards. His option exercises, while frequent, are largely offset by same-day sales or tax withholdings, meaning his net share count has likely declined over the period. With no buys and a clear pattern of converting vested options into cash, the insider activity at CRUS skews heavily toward distribution, though the dollar amounts are modest relative to the company’s market cap and reflect standard executive compensation cycles rather than an urgent exit.
