No insider purchase over the last 90 days. The latest was filed 19 Sept 2022.
Astronics Corp, classified in the Defense & Aerospace sector, is a listed company. Its insiders report their share dealings to SEC (Form 4). Between 18 October 2025 and 18 October 2026, 13 insiders published 56 filings.
The flow runs one way only: 1 sale worth €447k, from 1 insider, and no purchase. At €447k, the sale published on 3 December 2025 by Mulato James is the largest of the period.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 5,810 companies) published 19 filings over the same period, against 56 filings here. The full history, which starts in 2016, counts 3 purchases against 9 sales. On the fundamentals side, the SEC filing (10-K) for the period ending 31 December 2025 lists revenue at 862.1 m USD and net income at 29.4 m USD.
Filings reach the SEC (Form 4) feed a median of 2 days after the trade. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
For comparison within the same sector, see the insider buying recorded at Heico Corp. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
Entry is the close on the day after publication, the first price a reader could act on. Prices in the listing currency. Past moves are not a forecast.
This score ranks the purchase within its own market. A position size is suggested only on the venues of the backtested strategy universe; elsewhere, signals stay on watch. Not investment advice.
Transparent value + quality ranking, distinct from the insider signal.

Astronics Corp. (NASDAQ: ATRO) is a U.S.-based industrial technology company focused on mission-critical products for aerospace, defense, and other demanding end markets. Headquartered in East Aurora, New York, United States, the company was founded in 1968. For international investors, Astronics is best understood not as a broad-based aircraft manufacturer, but as a specialized supplier of engineered solutions embedded in aircraft and in test environments used by OEMs, airlines, defense customers, and government agencies.
Astronics operates through two main segments. Its Aerospace business is the core growth engine and covers electrical power and motion systems, cabin connectivity, lighting and safety products, avionics, structures, and systems certification services. These offerings are sold across commercial transport, business aviation, military aircraft, and certain niche applications. That mix gives the company exposure to multiple aviation demand pools while keeping it tied to the broader aerospace cycle. Its Test Systems segment provides test equipment and automated validation solutions, primarily for government and defense customers, where technical specifications, reliability, and qualification requirements are especially stringent.
The company’s competitive position is built on engineering depth, certification capability, customization, and long product lifecycles. Astronics typically competes in areas where performance, integration, and regulatory compliance matter more than commodity pricing. This makes it a niche player with meaningful barriers to entry, especially in cabin power, connectivity, and safety-related applications. Management consistently emphasizes customer intimacy and responsiveness, which are important differentiators in aerospace supply chains.
Recent operating updates point to a stronger Aerospace trajectory. In the first quarter of 2025, Astronics reported record Aerospace sales, driven by higher demand for cabin power and in-flight entertainment and connectivity products, along with a sharp increase in military aircraft sales linked to the FLRAA program. In the second quarter of 2025, management raised full-year revenue guidance at the midpoint, citing stronger business momentum, a more dependable supply chain, and a near-record backlog. In February 2026, Astronics reported Aerospace backlog of $600.8 million and record Aerospace sales in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a 19.0% operating margin in Aerospace.
Overall, Astronics remains a specialist aerospace and defense supplier with a cyclical but improving earnings profile. Listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, the company offers exposure to commercial aviation recovery, defense spending, and the ongoing electrification and connectivity trends inside modern aircraft.
