Recent Insider Trades
Insider activity at Ralliant has shown notable confidence in early February 2026, with multiple directors and executives making open-market purchases on February 6, 2026, following a significant stock price decline. These buys, executed near the lower end of the recent trading range, total several hundred thousand dollars and reflect a cluster of accumulation:
Kevin E. Bryant, an Independent Director, purchased 1,250 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $39.97 per share, for a total value of $49,962. This increased his holdings to 4,653 shares.
Amir A. Kazmi, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), bought 2,545 shares at $39.27 per share, amounting to $99,942, bringing his ownership to 39,699 shares.
Ganesh Moorthy, an Independent Director and Chairman, acquired 2,000 shares at $39.74 per share, valued at $79,480, raising his stake to 8,434 shares.
Brian Worrell, an Independent Director, purchased 2,500 shares at $39.93 per share, for $99,825, resulting in holdings of 5,904 shares.
These transactions occurred shortly after a sharp stock drop of nearly 30-32% following the company's Q4 and full-year 2025 earnings release on February 4, 2026. The insider cluster, totaling over $329,000 in buys, signals to investors that leadership views the current valuation as attractive relative to the company's long-term potential.
Related Company News
Ralliant has faced headwinds in early 2026, primarily from its Q4/full-year 2025 results released on February 4, 2026. The company reported a significant $1.44 billion non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to its EA Elektro-Automatik acquisition, tied to a weaker outlook in the electric vehicle industry impacting high-power supplies and battery test systems. This contributed to a sharp stock decline of over 30% in subsequent trading, closing near $38.39 on February 5, 2026, and triggering securities investigations by some law firms.
Despite the impairment (excluded from adjusted metrics), the company provided 2026 guidance: full-year revenue of $2.1-$2.2 billion (with sequential quarterly increases), adjusted EBITDA margin of 18-20%, and adjusted EPS of $2.22-$2.42, signaling expectations for profitability and growth.
On a positive note, Ralliant declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, payable March 23, 2026, underscoring commitment to shareholder returns. The insider buys following the dip suggest leadership sees the reaction as overdone, with fundamentals like strong free cash flow yield (~8%) and exposure to resilient secular trends (electrification, digitalization, defense) supporting a potential rebound.
