An SEC filing shows that William M. Gottwald, listed as a ten percent owner of TREDEGAR CORP (NYSE: TG), sold a total of 5,484 shares of the company's common stock in two separate trades on February 20 and February 23, 2026.
The sales generated approximately $48,278 in proceeds. Traded prices ranged narrowly from $8.803 to $8.806 per share. The filing breaks the sales down by date: 1,023 shares were sold on February 20 and 4,461 shares were sold on February 23.
The prices at which the shares moved align closely with the prevailing market quote of $8.82. That market level is about 6% below the stock's 52-week high of $9.43. Over the year to date, the share price has appreciated by 22%. Available analysis indicates the shares are slightly overvalued relative to a stated Fair Value estimate.
Holdings after the transactions
The filing details Gottwald's continued holdings across several accounts and trusts. Following the disposals, his direct holding stands at 578,483 shares, held as co-trustee of the Residual 10-Year CLAT UA FDGJR Living Trust. He is also recorded as indirectly holding 6,197 shares owned by his wife. Additional positions tied to him include 847,470 shares held as co-trustee FBO the reporting person’s family u/w Floyd D. Gottwald, and 211,260 shares held as trustee of the William Michael Gottwald Revocable Trust.
Context and market signals
The narrow range of trade prices and the timing across two days produced modest proceeds relative to Gottwald's larger, continuing ownership positions. The filing provides no explanatory commentary on the rationale for the sales; it supplies the transactional facts and the post-transaction ownership totals.
From a market-data perspective, the transactions occurred at prices essentially in line with the market quote and below the year's peak price, while year-to-date performance shows a positive return of 22%. Concurrent valuation commentary notes a slight overvaluation versus an internal Fair Value estimate.
