TMOThermo Fisher Scientific · Insider ownership research

Thermo Fisher Scientific insiders sold $158M in the past 12 months. How much of their stake is that?

About 4.3% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. These figures leave out Marc Casper, the largest holder (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead).

Aug 31, 2026Gianluca Pettiti sold 4.1K shares ($2.5M) under a disclosed trading plan. That is 15% of the total stake held that day. 3.7K shares came in from vesting or option exercises the same day, so the holding fell by 400 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? In line with the past 5 years. 7 insiders sold; the average is 7 a year. Year by year

What stands out

Two officers sold $68.2M with no disclosed plan: Michel Lagarde ($51.3M) and Lisa Britt ($16.9M). The filings don't state a reason.Michel Lagarde: largest such sale, Dec 2, 2025 · Lisa Britt: largest such sale, Aug 19, 2026
Gianluca Pettiti sold 40% of vested holdings: 8.7K shares for $5.1M, all under a disclosed plan.Largest sale, Aug 31, 2026
Joseph Holmes sold 420 shares (18% of starting holdings), but 1.2K more vested, so the stake grew (from 2.3K to 2.9K).Largest sale, Aug 7, 2026

Left out: Marc Casper, Michel Lagarde, Michael Shafer, Lisa Britt and Frederick Lowery (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead).
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 Thermo Fisher Scientific CEO selling stock?

Yes. Marc Casper sold 94K shares ($53.9M) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Thermo Fisher Scientific insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 57% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 43% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Thermo Fisher Scientific insiders buying?

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

How much of their stake did Thermo Fisher Scientific insiders sell?

About 4.3% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. These figures leave out Marc Casper, 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.

21 of 21 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (17 exactly, 4 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 16 of 21 officers and directors. Left out: Marc Casper, Michel Lagarde, Michael Shafer, Lisa Britt and Frederick Lowery (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$158M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $158M across 271,554 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($68.4M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $68.4M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $51.3M of it is Michel Lagarde. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Michel Lagarde, Dec 2, 2025

Taxes

14,347 shares ($7.9M) 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 uncertaintyEvery officer and director reconciles

Every officer and director reconciles for this period.

Michael Shafer: minor difference of -12 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Frederick Lowery: minor difference of -52 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

James Meyer: minor difference of 28 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Joseph Holmes: minor difference of -6 shares. Difference is stated in footnotes (unreported vesting, exempt acquisition or transfer).

Inferred rename: "Marc N. Casper 2020 Irrevocable Trust" is treated as the same holder as "MNC 2020 Irrevocable Trust", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (34,825 shares). Old name, new name

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

Sources and methodology1,766 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,766 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Thermo Fisher Scientific (SEC CIK 97745) from Jun 3, 2003 to Sep 29, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 13 filings were left out because Thermo Fisher Scientific filed them as an owner of another company's stock.

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".
