What Happened
Wang Cheng-Wei, General Manager of Garmin Corp., reported multiple open-market sales on August 18, 2026, disposing of a total of 9,941 shares for total proceeds of $2,975,982. The sales occurred in seven tranches with reported weighted-average prices ranging from about $296.92 to $303.36 (actual trade price ranges reported between $296.50 and $303.44 across the trades).

Context

• This was an open-market sale (transaction code S). Sales by insiders are common for reasons like diversification, tax needs, or liquidity and do not by themselves indicate company performance or insider sentiment. Purchases generally convey a clearer bullish signal for retail investors.
• The filing contains weighted-average prices and ranges because each tranche was executed in multiple trades; detailed per-trade prices are available from the filer upon request to the SEC staff.
