What stands out
Melissa Kapity sold $1.4M of stock with no disclosed trading plan. The filings don't state a reason.Largest such sale, Feb 27, 2026
Four officers sold shares but ended with larger stakes, because more shares came in than were sold: Jennifer Honeycutt (sold 14K, 13% of starting holdings; 41K added), Mattias Bystrom (sold 1K, 3.1% of starting holdings; 4.1K added) and Surekha Trivedi (sold 986, 12% of starting holdings; 2.3K added), plus 1 more.Jennifer Honeycutt: largest sale, Jul 29, 2026 · Mattias Bystrom: largest sale, Dec 1, 2025 · Surekha Trivedi: largest sale, Aug 17, 2026
Selling picked up in the last 90 days: officers and directors sold 15K shares, against an average of 5.3K per 90 days earlier in the period. Most of it was Jennifer Honeycutt (14K shares in the last 90 days, 13% of holdings) and Surekha Trivedi (986 shares in the last 90 days, 12% of holdings); 100% of these sales were under disclosed plans.Jennifer Honeycutt: largest recent sale, Jul 29, 2026 · Surekha Trivedi: largest recent sale, Aug 17, 2026
Percentages cover 18 of 20 officers and directors. Left out: Melissa Kapity (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Kimberly Chainey (held no vested shares at the start). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Common questions
Is the Veralto Corp CEO selling stock?
Yes. Jennifer Honeycutt sold 14K shares ($1.4M, 13% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.
Why are Veralto Corp insiders selling?
Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 49% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 51% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.
Are any Veralto Corp insiders buying?
No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.
How much of their stake did Veralto Corp insiders sell?
About 3.8% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. The biggest seller whose stake can be measured, Jennifer Honeycutt, sold shares equal to 13% of starting holdings, but more vested, so the stake grew. 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.

20 of 20 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (20 exactly, 0 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 18 of 20 officers and directors. Left out: Melissa Kapity (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead); Kimberly Chainey (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$3.1M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month
Officer and director open-market sales: $3.1M across 31,320 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.
The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($1.6M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.
No plan disclosed · $1.6M
Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $1.4M of it is Melissa Kapity. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Melissa Kapity, Feb 27, 2026
Taxes
23,952 shares ($2.3M) 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.

Sources and methodology176 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them
All 176 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Veralto Corp (SEC CIK 1967680) from Sep 11, 2023 to Aug 19, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 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".
