Timothy M. Knavish, Chairman and CEO of PPG Industries (PPG), has demonstrated a clear selling bias in his recent insider transactions, with $2.39 million in total sales compared to $744,367 in purchases across 71 reported trades involving PPG and Rockwell Automation (ROK). His most significant transaction occurred on February 18, 2026, when he disposed of PPG shares worth approximately $1.27 million (coded "F" for gift or transfer). Smaller but consistent sales occurred throughout early 2026, including multiple transactions in March 2026 valued between $101 and $11,928. The pattern shows recurring dispositions at regular intervals, with additional sales in January and February 2026 typically ranging from $97 to $1,150 per transaction.
Prior to 2026, Knavish engaged in more balanced activity, with December 2025 showing both acquisitions and dispositions of PPG shares. Notable purchases included two transactions on December 12, 2025, totaling $16,015, followed by smaller buys later that month. His only activity involving Rockwell Automation (ROK) was a minor, zero-value transaction on December 8, 2025, suggesting PPG remains his primary focus. The data indicates a shift toward consistent divestment in early 2026, though the dollar amounts of recent sales have been relatively modest compared to his earlier high-value transfer. No transactions have been reported in the most recent months.
