Methode Electronics Inc: what insiders have been doing
Headquartered in Illinois, United States, Methode Electronics Inc belongs to the Industry sector and traces its origins to 1946. Filings by its managers are published through SEC (Form 4). Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 27 filings were filed, from 10 insiders.
The filings describe grants, exercises and other transfers rather than trades on the open market. Compensation-driven entries like these are tracked, but they say little about how insiders judge the share price.
No insider has bought Methode Electronics Inc shares on the open market in the past twelve months. Filings reach the SEC (Form 4) feed a median of 4 days after the trade. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction.
Compared with its exchange (5,811 companies, median 19 filings), a count of 27 filings is above the norm. Our records for Methode Electronics Inc go back to 2021, with 6 purchases and 13 sales on the open market in total. In its latest annual report filed with the SEC (10-K, fiscal year ended 2 May 2026), the company reported revenue of 1.02 bn USD and net income of -35.7 m USD, with a dividend of 0.22 USD per share.
Other companies in the same sector with recent insider buying flagged by our signals: Tennant Co and Butler National Corp. This summary is built from SEC (Form 4) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.

About Methode Electronics Inc
Methode Electronics Inc. is a U.S.-based industrial technology company listed on the NYSE under the ticker MEI. Its operating headquarters is in Southfield, Michigan, United States. Founded in 1946 by William J. McGinley in Chicago, the company built its business around custom-engineered electronic and electromechanical solutions. Over time, it expanded from its early interconnect heritage into a broader portfolio centered on user interfaces, lighting systems, power distribution, sensors, and other application-specific mechatronic products.
Methode is organized into three core operating segments: Automotive, Industrial, and Interface. This structure reflects its end-market diversification and its focus on engineered-to-order solutions for OEM customers rather than commodity components. The company serves transportation markets, including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, e-bikes, buses, rail, and aerospace-related applications, as well as industrial markets such as construction equipment, energy storage, robotics, renewable energy, power conversion, and cloud computing infrastructure. That mix gives Methode exposure to both cyclical industrial demand and longer-term themes such as electrification, data-center growth, and the increased electronic content of vehicles and machines.

Its product set includes human-machine interfaces, LED lighting systems, sensors, signal and power distribution devices, and specialized electronic modules. In Automotive, Methode has historically been exposed to center-console programs, exterior lighting, signal and power distribution, and EV/hybrid-related content. In Industrial, the company has benefited from demand for power products used in data centers, which has recently been an important growth driver. The Interface segment provides customized solutions for control, connectivity, and interface applications across several industrial and commercial end markets.
Methode operates with sales, engineering, and manufacturing locations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. This global footprint supports close customer collaboration, local production capabilities, and responsiveness to multinational OEM requirements. The company’s competitive position is built on proprietary technology, vertically integrated manufacturing, and a reputation for reliability and customization in demanding applications.
Recent developments have been centered on Methode’s multi-year transformation effort. Management has emphasized portfolio simplification, footprint optimization, improved operational discipline, and a sharper focus on power solutions. Recent disclosures also highlighted record power product sales for data centers, the sale of its dataMate business, the planned sale of an industrial facility, and broader restructuring actions. For investors, Methode looks like a U.S. industrial electronics supplier with meaningful exposure to automotive weakness but also visible optionality from data-center power infrastructure and other electrification-driven end markets.
