Eight Itron Insiders Sell $9.9M in ITRI Stock — CEO Deitrich Leads with $5.58M
Eight Itron executives sold a combined $9.87M in ITRI stock between Feb 19-24, with CEO Thomas Deitrich's $5.58M sale representing 57% of the total insider selling.
Eight Itron executives sold a combined $9.87 million in ITRI stock between February 19 and 24, 2026. CEO Thomas Deitrich led the pack with a $5.58 million sale — 56,095 shares at $99.54 — representing 57% of all insider proceeds.
The breadth is remarkable: CEO, CFO, General Counsel, and five other SVPs all selling within the same five-day window. When eight out of eight executives sell simultaneously, the signal carries weight.

CEO's $32M Career Selling
Thomas Deitrich has sold $32.3 million in ITRI stock over his tenure as CEO. His latest $5.58M sale on Feb 19 reduced his position by roughly 13%, leaving him with 375,134 shares worth approximately $37.3 million at current prices. That remaining stake still represents meaningful skin in the game.
CFO Hooper Sold Across Two Days
Joan Hooper, Itron's CFO, sold in two tranches: 15,293 shares at $99.54 on Feb 19, then another 962 shares at $94.81 on Feb 24. The second sale came at a 4.7% lower price — suggesting the first sale may have been plan-based while the second was discretionary, or the stock simply declined in the interim.
Everyone Sold at ~$100
Most transactions executed near the psychologically significant $100 per share level. ITRI crossed $100 in mid-February for the first time in months, and the entire management team appears to have used that milestone as a selling trigger:
- Feb 19 (7 sellers): All at $99.54 — likely same 10b5-1 plan trigger
- Feb 20 (2 sellers): Reeves and Wright at $100.17 — just above the round number
- Feb 24 (1 seller): Hooper at $94.81 — stock already pulling back
What It Means for ITRI Investors
When every senior executive sells within a five-day window, it typically means one of two things: coordinated 10b5-1 plans triggered by a price target, or a collective judgment that the stock is fairly valued. Either interpretation suggests the ITRI leadership team views $100 as a level worth taking profits — not a floor to buy from.
The $9.87M total is meaningful for a company with Itron's $4.5 billion market cap. Combined with the 100% participation rate from the C-suite, this is one of the more comprehensive insider selling events of February 2026.
