AI Insider Summary

Timothy M. Knavish (CIK 0001669058) has filed 307 transactions at PPG Industries Inc. (PPG) since 2016, and the file is almost entirely A-coded plan-award events (2,061 buy-side shares) paired with F-coded tax-withholding settlements (72,227 sell-side shares). The most recent session, February 18, 2026, is typical: a 25,408-share plan award alongside a 9,886-share withholding sale at $128.25 on the same date, the kind of plan-administrator pairing that looks like a decision but is actually a mechanical tax settlement. No open-market buy (P) appears anywhere in his PPG history. Three recent Rockwell Automation (ROK) plan awards in late 2025 (498 shares) form a small secondary position. His Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) entry stems from a February 2017 family-vehicle transaction initiated after Knavish married into the Cleveland family, not from a personal market conviction. The honest read: a payroll-and-plan register with no straightforward directional signal on PPG.

Knavish's lifetime PPG buy-to-sell ratio is 2,061-to-72,227 across 304 transactions — roughly 1:35. That is the signature of an executive harvesting employer equity through tax-withholding events that accompany plan awards and option exercises. Every F-withholding sale is triggered by an A-award or M-exercise; it is not an independent decision to sell.

The February 18, 2026 filing exemplifies the pattern: a 25,408-share A-award at no disclosed price, paired with an F-withholding of 9,886 shares at $128.25 on the same date. The timing coincides because the plan administrator processes both the award and the tax settlement in the same filing window. Reading the F-sale as a bearish signal on PPG would be an error — it is compensation mechanics, not a portfolio decision.
