During his time at Watts Water Technologies, David J. Coghlan engaged in substantial insider trading. His holdings fluctuated significantly from $10.30 million in September 2019 to a peak of $22.07 million by December 2024. The fluctuations indicate his active participation in managing his investment and aligning it closely with the company’s performance. Notably, at one point in 2021, his holdings spiked to $21.82 million, showcasing a period of confidence in the stock's value. However, as he stepped down from his CEO role in early 2014, these holdings reflected turbulent times with significant sell-offs, even as recent reports in 2024 show the value stabilizing. This trajectory illustrates a significant contrast between ambition in leading a manufacturing firm and the ups and downs of the stock market.
