Catherine A. Gridley, holding the dual roles of Executive Vice President and A&D Sector President at TTM Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: TTMI), executed a significant divestment of company equity on June 25, 2026. The transaction involved the sale of 3,056 shares of the company's common stock. The total value of these sales reached approximately $638,511. The execution of these trades occurred within a specific price band, with individual share prices ranging from $204.95 to $218.27.
Regulatory filings confirm that these transactions were not discretionary but were executed under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan. This strategic framework was initially adopted by Gridley on February 24, 2026. The documentation accompanying the filing explicitly states that the shares were sold solely to cover tax liabilities that arose incident to the vesting of restricted stock units. Following the completion of these sales, Gridley's direct ownership position in TTM Technologies common stock stands at 71,866 shares.
The timing of this equity reduction coincides with a period of market fluctuation for TTMI. Over the week preceding the sale, the stock experienced a decline of 13.5%. This recent dip contrasts sharply with the company's longer-term performance, which has delivered exceptional returns of 376% over the past year. Despite this strong historical performance, analysis from InvestingPro suggests that the stock currently appears overvalued relative to its Fair Value.
