nVent (NVT) Director Jerry Burris Exercises Options, Sells Shares
What Happened
Jerry W. Burris, a director of nVent Electric plc, exercised 5,244 stock options on Feb 6, 2026 at an exercise price of $19.57 per share (total exercise cost ~$102,625) and immediately sold the 5,244 shares in an open-market sale at $112.27 per share for gross proceeds of ~$588,744.

Context
Because the exercise and sale occurred on the same day and the filing notes a 10b5-1 plan, this appears to be a pre-arranged, routine disposal rather than an ad hoc sale. For retail investors, purchases by insiders are generally more informative about bullish conviction; this filing documents a planned exercise and sale that generated substantial cash to the insider but does not by itself indicate a change in company outlook.
