SWKSSkyworks Solutions · Insider ownership research

Skyworks Solutions insiders sold $765K in the past 12 months. How much of their stake is that?

About 3.2% of the shares they held or received (after tax withholding) during the period. The usual measure, against starting holdings alone, can't be used here because most of the shares sold arrived during the period.

Oct 5, 20262 insiders had 153K shares ($12.9M) withheld by the company for taxes (not a market sale). That is between 9.2% and 37% of each person's total stake held that day. 451K shares came in from vesting or option exercises the same day, so their combined holdings rose by 298K net.

"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Is this normal? Less than usual: about one-seventh of the 5-year average. 2 insiders sold; the average is 5 a year. Year by year

Left out: Philip Carter (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Jason Givens, Robert Bruggeworth, Chris Koopmans and Richard Clemmer (held no vested shares at the start).

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is the insider's vested stake at the start of the period (Oct 8, 2025). The gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the Skyworks Solutions CEO selling stock?

No. Philip Brace reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are Skyworks Solutions insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 100% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Skyworks Solutions insiders buying?

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

How much of their stake did Skyworks Solutions insiders sell?

About 3.2% of the shares they held or received (after tax withholding) during the period. The usual measure, against starting holdings alone, can't be used here because most of the shares sold arrived during the period. That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

16 of 17 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (13 exactly, 3 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 1 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on that row explains why. Percentages cover 12 of 17 officers and directors. Left out: Philip Carter (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Jason Givens, Robert Bruggeworth, Chris Koopmans and Richard Clemmer (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$765K of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $765K across 12,277 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

Taxes

198,522 shares ($16.1M) 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.

Known gaps and uncertainty1 insider whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

Philip Carter: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of 632 shares). Balance changed without a matching transaction, and the footnote does not state the amount: +463 shares on Nov 11, 2025 (401(k) plan). Filing, Nov 11, 2025

Footnote: "This total represents the number of shares of common stock held by the Reporting Person in the Skyworks Solutions, Inc. 401(k) plan based on the latest plan statement dated 10/31/2025."

Karilee Durham: minor difference of 232 shares. Difference is stated in footnotes (unreported vesting, exempt acquisition or transfer).

Reza Kasnavi: minor difference of 377 shares. Small increase from a 401(k) plan.

Robert Terry: minor difference of 131 shares. Small increase from a 401(k) plan.

Inferred rename: "Retirement Savings Plan" is treated as the same holder as "Rockwell Retirement Savings Plan", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (22,352 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "immediate family members" is treated as the same holder as "Immediate Family", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (1,179 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Allan Kline Grandchildren's Trust" is treated as the same holder as "Allan Kline's Grandchildren's Trust", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (250 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred typo: the share class "Comon 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 (David Aldrich, 423,164 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 methodology1,166 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,166 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Skyworks Solutions (SEC CIK 4127) from Nov 10, 1997 to Oct 7, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 2 filings were left out because Skyworks Solutions filed them as an owner of another company's stock. 20 older filings exist only on paper and could not be read.

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".
