Analog Devices Inc.’s chair and CEO, Vincent Roche, recently sold 10,000 shares of the company’s common stock, making almost $2 million in the process. On April 1, 2025, the shares were sold for an average of $200.26 per share. On March 1, 2024, Roche enacted a prearranged 10b5-1 trading strategy, which included this transaction.
Roche also exercised options to buy 10,000 shares for $94.41 a share in addition to selling stock. Roche now directly owns 107,912 Analog Devices shares as a result of these trades.
Analog Devices Beats EPS Estimates Despite 4% Revenue Drop
Transparency into the trading activity of the company’s senior executives was provided by the disclosure of the transactions in a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A part of Roche’s shares were withheld to meet tax obligations associated with the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units, according to the filing. Analysts’ price predictions for ADI range from $192 to $300, reflecting their continued optimistic stance.
On the other hand, despite a 4% drop in sales, Analog Devices reported profits per share (EPS) of $1.63 for the January quarter, above the consensus forecast of $1.54. A 19% increase in the consumer segment helped to somewhat offset the decline, which was ascribed to poorer performance in the communications, automotive, and industrial sectors.
