TER Insider Trade: Mercedes Johnson Sells 625 Shares via 10b5-1 Plan

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SEC Form 4 – Teradyne, Inc. (TER)

• Director Mercedes Johnson sold 625 common shares on 08/05/2025 at $106 per share.
• The disposition was made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted 02/03/2025, indicating a pre-scheduled, compliance-driven sale.
• Post-transaction ownership: 11,363 shares held directly; an additional 1,876 shares held indirectly through The Mercedes Johnson Trust.

No derivative securities were reported and no other transactions were disclosed. The 625-share sale represents a small fraction of the director’s total holdings; therefore, the filing appears routine with limited immediate investment significance.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Minor, pre-planned insider sale; neutral signal for TER investors.

The 625-share sale equates to roughly 5% of Ms. Johnson’s direct stake and less than 0.01% of TER’s float. Because the trade was executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted months earlier, it is unlikely to reflect real-time sentiment about Teradyne’s fundamentals. With total beneficial ownership still over 13 k shares, there is no evidence of broad insider unloading. I view the disclosure as routine compliance rather than a catalyst. Market impact should be negligible unless followed by larger or multiple insider disposals.
