NDSN insider ownership: who sold, why, and what they still hold

What stands out

Two officers sold $21.5M with no disclosed plan: Sundaram Nagarajan ($12.3M) and Joseph Kelley ($9.2M). The filings don't state a reason.Sundaram Nagarajan: largest such sale, Feb 24, 2026 · Joseph Kelley: largest such sale, Feb 23, 2026

Two insiders sold shares but ended with larger stakes, because more shares came in than were sold: Milton Morris (sold 666, 29% of starting holdings; 860 added) and Jennifer McDonough (sold 260, 5.2% of starting holdings; 2.3K added).Milton Morris: largest sale, Apr 15, 2026 · Jennifer McDonough: largest sale, Aug 27, 2026

Percentages cover 9 of 20 officers and directors. 11 are left out

Left out: Sundaram Nagarajan, Joseph Kelley and Daniel Hopgood (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); James DeVries, Srinivas Subramanian, Annette Clayton and Justin Hall (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Michael Merriman, Victor Richey Jr. and Frank Jaehnert (most holdings were last confirmed in 2021); Stephen Lovass (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022).

Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is 100% of that person's own stake; not comparable between people. The stake is the vested shares held at the start of the period (Oct 9, 2025); the gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the Nordson Corporation CEO selling stock?

Yes. Sundaram Nagarajan sold 42K shares ($12.3M) in the past 12 months, none of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Nordson Corporation insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 15% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 85% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Nordson Corporation insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did Nordson Corporation insiders sell?

About 5.4% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. These figures leave out James DeVries, the largest holder (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled). That covers the 12 months to Oct 9, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

16 of 20 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (7 exactly, 9 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 4 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on their rows explains why. Percentages cover 9 of 20 officers and directors. Left out: Sundaram Nagarajan, Joseph Kelley and Daniel Hopgood (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); James DeVries, Srinivas Subramanian, Annette Clayton and Justin Hall (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Michael Merriman, Victor Richey Jr. and Frank Jaehnert (most holdings were last confirmed in 2021); Stephen Lovass (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$26.7M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $26.7M across 93,932 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

Disclosed plan · $4.1M · 15%

85%

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($22.5M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $22.5M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $12.3M of it is Sundaram Nagarajan. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Sundaram Nagarajan, Feb 24, 2026

Taxes

7,227 shares ($1.8M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Inferred rename: "Company ESOP and 401(k) Plan" is treated as the same holder as "Company ESOP and 401(k) Plans", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (58,968 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Company Saving Plan" is treated as the same holder as "Company Savings Plan", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (273 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred typo: the share class "COMMON SHAERS" is treated as the same class as "COMMON SHARES" on 5 holding lines, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Stephen Hardis, 400 shares): old title, new title

Inferred typo: the share class "COMMON SHAERS" is treated as the same class as "Common Shares" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (William Robinson, 3,000 shares): old title, new title

Inferred typo: the share class "COMMON SHARS" is treated as the same class as "COMMON SHARES" on 2 holding lines, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Nicholas Pellecchia, 67,968 shares): old title, new title

Inferred typo: the share class "COMMON SHARE" is treated as the same class as "COMMON SHARES" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Edward Campbell, 413,602 shares): old title, new title

Inferred typo: the share class "COMMON SHSARE" is treated as the same class as "COMMON SHARES" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (David Ignat, 3,193,676 shares): old title, new title

Inferred typo: the share class "COMMON SARES" is treated as the same class as "COMMON SHARES" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Michael Groos, 23,586 shares): old title, new title

Sources and methodology2,328 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 2,328 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Nordson Corporation (SEC CIK 72331) from Dec 3, 1996 to Sep 16, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 504 older filings exist only on paper and could not be read.

Probable 2-for-1 stock split on or before Apr 12, 2011 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 19 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
