What stands out

Terry Riesterer sold $1.8M of stock with no disclosed trading plan. The filings don't state a reason.Largest such sale, May 7, 2026

Christian Rothe sold 590 shares (6.9% of starting holdings), but 2.5K more vested, so the stake grew (from 8.5K to 10K).Largest sale, Aug 20, 2026

Percentages cover 11 of 25 officers and directors. 14 are left out

Left out: Blake Moret, Christopher Nardecchia, Rebecca House, Tessa Myers, Cyril Perducat, Matthew Fordenwalt, Robert Buttermore, Terry Riesterer, Scott Genereux and Matheus Bulho (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); John Miller and Isaac Woods (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); William Gipson (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022); David Zapico (held no vested shares at the start).

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.

Blake Moret

President and CEO, Director

Sold $27.8M (plan status beside the amount). That is 29% of the shares held or received (after tax withholding) during the period†. A share of the starting stake is not shown: most of these shares arrived during the period. Why

Common questions

Is the Rockwell Automation CEO selling stock?

Yes. Blake Moret sold 71K shares ($27.8M) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Rockwell Automation insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 96% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 4% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Rockwell Automation insiders buying?

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

How much of their stake did Rockwell Automation insiders sell?

About 2.7% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. These figures leave out Blake Moret, the largest holder (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). 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.

23 of 25 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (17 exactly, 6 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 2 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on their rows explains why. Percentages cover 11 of 25 officers and directors. Left out: Blake Moret, Christopher Nardecchia, Rebecca House, Tessa Myers, Cyril Perducat, Matthew Fordenwalt, Robert Buttermore, Terry Riesterer, Scott Genereux and Matheus Bulho (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); John Miller and Isaac Woods (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); William Gipson (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022); David Zapico (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$64.9M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $64.9M across 161,561 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

Disclosed plan · $62.6M · 96%

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($2.3M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $2.3M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $1.8M of it is Terry Riesterer. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Terry Riesterer, May 7, 2026

Taxes

$9.1M of sales (14.0%) cite tax obligations in their footnotes, $9.1M of them also under a plan. Example: Isaac Woods, Sep 8, 2026

Is this normal? Selling year by year5 earlier years to compare with

More than usual: about 1.9x the 5-year average. 14 insiders sold; the average is 15 a year.

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.

Known gaps and uncertainty2 insiders whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

John Miller: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of 81 shares). Balance changed without a matching transaction, and the footnote does not state the amount: +73.8061 shares on Dec 4, 2025 (Direct). Filing, Dec 4, 2025

Footnote: "Includes shares acquired under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan as reported by the plan administrator on 9/12/2025"

Isaac Woods: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of 17 shares). Balance changed without a matching transaction, and the footnote does not state the amount: +11.0806 shares on Sep 8, 2026 (Savings Plan). Filing, Sep 8, 2026

Footnote: "Includes shares represented by Company stock fund units acquired under the Company Savings Plan since the date last reported for this person based on information furnished by the Plan Administrator as of 6/30/2026. The number of stock fund units represented by the balance of the participant's Company stock fund account may not exactly equal the number of stock fund units represented by a prior balance due to variance in the proportion of uninvested cash held in the reference fund used to determine unit values of the Company stock fund under the Plan."

Blake Moret: minor difference of 7 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Rebecca House: minor difference of 1 share. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Christian Rothe: minor difference of 155 shares. Small increase from dividend reinvestment.

Matthew Fordenwalt: minor difference of 6 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Robert Buttermore: minor difference of 3 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Terry Riesterer: minor difference of 7 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Inferred rename: "Nonqualified Savings Plan" is treated as the same holder as "Nonqual. Savings Plan", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (70 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred typo: the share class "Coomon Stock" is treated as the same class as "Common Stock" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (John Miller, 1,000 shares): old title, new title

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology2,344 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 2,344 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Rockwell Automation (SEC CIK 1024478) from Jun 11, 2003 to Oct 5, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

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".
