Ametek Inc/: what insiders have been doing
This page follows insider dealings at Ametek Inc/ as filed with SEC (Form 4), a company from the Industry sector based in Berwyn, United States. The group dates from 1930. In the past year (18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026), 53 filings came from 19 insiders.
The record shows 1 purchase on the open market worth €886k, made by 1 insider, against 4 sales worth €4.1M by 4 insiders. On balance, insiders were net sellers of €3.3M. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. The largest single trade was a sale of €2.5M by Marecic Thomas C, published on 16 December 2025. The buyers include 1 senior executive.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 5,813 companies) published 19 filings over the same period, against 53 filings here. Over the whole record (from 2016), the tally stands at 1 purchase and 36 sales. The 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025 shows 7.40 bn USD of revenue and 1.48 bn USD of net income.
The most recent open-market purchase was published on 12 August 2026, 67 days ago. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
Elsewhere in the same sector, our signals recently picked up insider purchases at Tennant Co and Butler National Corp. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.

About Ametek Inc/
AMETEK Inc. (NYSE: AME) is a U.S.-listed industrial technology company headquartered in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, United States. Founded in 1930, the group has evolved from its original industrial roots into a global provider of specialized technology solutions serving attractive niche markets. AMETEK emphasizes a disciplined growth model built around operational excellence, new product development, geographic expansion and strategic acquisitions, with a strong focus on cash generation and long-term shareholder value. ([ametek.com](https://www.ametek.com/?utm_source=openai))
The company operates through two core segments: Electronic Instruments Group (EIG) and Electromechanical Group (EMG). EIG is centered on advanced analytical, test, measurement and calibration instruments, while EMG provides engineered electromechanical components and solutions. AMETEK’s products are used across a broad range of end markets, including energy, aerospace and defense, industrial processing, research, medical and other precision-oriented applications. This mix gives the company exposure to structurally attractive end markets and helps reduce dependence on any single industry cycle. ([ametek.com](https://www.ametek.com/?utm_source=openai))

From a competitive standpoint, AMETEK is positioned as a high-value supplier in technical niches where reliability, precision and service matter more than commoditized pricing. Its competitive edge tends to come from deep customer relationships, application-specific engineering, and a long track record of successfully integrating bolt-on acquisitions. The company’s strategy is to acquire well-positioned businesses, fit them into its operating platforms, and improve performance through scale, commercialization and operational discipline. ([ametek.com](https://www.ametek.com/?utm_source=openai))
Geographically, AMETEK has a broad international footprint and generates meaningful sales outside the United States, with operations and customer relationships spanning North America, Europe and Asia. That global reach supports market diversification, but it also exposes the company to foreign exchange volatility, trade frictions, tariffs and supply-chain disruptions. ([ametek.com](https://www.ametek.com/-/media/project/oneweb/oneweb/ametek/overview/documents/ametek-annual-report-2022.pdf?hash=8871AB8CCA7D2A778383D2A35CBBF67B&la=en&revision=3d4832fd-246e-45d0-8f5c-2e2faf97dc0e&utm_source=openai))
Recent developments reinforce the investment case. In early 2026, AMETEK reported record full-year 2025 results, underscoring the resilience of its portfolio and the execution of management. More recently, on May 6, 2026, the company announced an agreement to acquire Indicor Instrumentation, with the acquired businesses expected to be integrated into EIG and EMG. For investors, AMETEK remains a quality industrial compounder: a U.S.-listed NYSE company with a long operating history, a niche-led portfolio, and an M&A-driven growth model backed by financial discipline.
