Mehta Sanjay, VP and Chief Financial Officer at Teradyne Inc. (TER), has demonstrated a clear selling bias in recent insider transactions, with no recent purchases and $3.86 million in total sales offset by just $270,375 in buys. His trading activity has been concentrated entirely in TER, with all 23 recorded transactions involving the semiconductor test equipment manufacturer. The most notable sale occurred on January 29, 2025, when Mehta disposed of shares worth $656,040, part of a concentrated selling spree that saw him unload over $1.2 million in TER stock across just three trading days from January 28-30, 2025. This follows earlier disposals including a $450,225 sale on May 3, 2024, which coincided with his only recorded acquisition - a $270,375 market purchase the same day.
The pattern shows accelerating divestment, with 10 sales in recent months compared to just one buy (the May 2024 market purchase). Transaction sizes have varied significantly, from smaller sales like $7,428 on January 25, 2024 to six-figure disposals. Several filings with $0 value indicate derivative transactions or awards that didn't immediately change his position. The absence of any purchases since mid-2024, combined with multiple seven-figure sales in early 2025, suggests a sustained reduction in Mehta's TER holdings during this period. His transactions appear clustered in late January across both 2024 and 2025, potentially relating to post-earnings trading windows or vesting schedules.
