Synaptics Inc (NASDAQ:SYNA) disclosed recent stock transactions involving Vikram Gupta, the company's Senior Vice President & General Manager of the Edge Compute & Connectivity Division and its Chief Product Officer.
On April 20, 2026, Mr. Gupta sold 1,548 shares of Synaptics common stock at a price of $80.95 per share, generating proceeds of $125,310. That sale was executed under a pre-established 10b5-1 trading plan that was put in place on March 14, 2024.
Separately, on April 17, 2026, Mr. Gupta disposed of 5,518 shares of Synaptics common stock at $80.22 per share, a transaction valued at $442,653. According to the company disclosure, those shares were withheld by Synaptics to meet tax withholding obligations arising from the settlement of restricted stock units.
After accounting for the April transactions, Mr. Gupta directly holds 88,930 shares of Synaptics common stock.
The company’s share price has moved notably over the past year. The stock reached $86.84 at one point, representing a 70% gain year-over-year. Following the release of Synaptics’ second-quarter fiscal 2026 results, the stock closed at $85, down from the prior close of $87.70 and experienced further pressure in after-hours trading.
Synaptics reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 results that beat consensus expectations. The company posted earnings per share of $1.21 versus an expected $1.15, a positive surprise of 5.22%. Revenue for the quarter came in at $302.5 million compared with expected revenue of $300.05 million.

Context and implications
The April 20 sale was carried out through an existing 10b5-1 plan, a mechanism companies often use to allow insiders to trade according to a predetermined schedule. The April 17 withholding transaction reflects settlement mechanics for restricted stock units and tax obligations rather than an open-market sale.
Synaptics’ latest quarterly results showed modest upside relative to analyst expectations on both the earnings and revenue lines, yet the stock did not gain in the immediate trading session following the announcement.
