Terex (TEX) Insider David Dauch Buys $105K of Stock

David Dauch added to his position in Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) on June 26, 2026. He bought 1,467 shares at an average price of $71.81 each, bringing the total value of the transaction to roughly $105,345.

This purchase was part of a broader trend of buying within the company's leadership on that specific Friday. The trade was not made through a pre-planned 10b5-1 schedule, which is a tool insiders sometimes use to sell or buy stock at set times to avoid concerns about having private information. Instead, this appears to be a direct decision to increase his stake.

Wave of Insider Buying at Terex

Dauch was not the only person at the company to buy shares on June 26, 2026. Srikanth Padmanabhan, Kathleen Steele, Oluseun Salami, and Sandra O'Connor all purchased 3,760 shares each at the same $71.81 price, with each trade valued at $270,005. Maureen Oconnell also bought 1,880 shares for $135,002, while Paula Cholmondeley acquired 1,128 shares for $81,001. All seven insiders bought their shares on the same day at the same price point, showing a collective move by the board and leadership team.

Terex Stock Performance and Valuation

On Tuesday, Terex shares were trading around $73.57. This price sits near the top of the company's 52-week range, which has seen a low of $41.70 and a high of $74.69. The stock is currently priced at about 28 times its trailing earnings, but that number drops significantly when looking at future expectations; its forward P/E ratio is just 9.88. This lower forward multiple often suggests that analysts expect the company's profits to rise in the coming year.

Recent Earnings and Growth

In its most recent financial updates, the company reported annual revenue of $6.68 billion, representing a 50.5% growth rate. While the company is profitable with $2.09 in earnings per share, its net margin is relatively thin at 2.23%. The company's return on equity, a measure of how effectively it uses shareholder money to generate profit, stands at 4.2%. Investors looking for the next update can mark October 29, 2026, on their calendars for the next earnings announcement.

Dividend Data

Terex currently pays its shareholders an annual dividend of $0.68 per share. At recent prices, this provides a dividend yield of 1.15%. The company maintains a payout ratio of 32.5%, which shows it distributes about one-third of its profits back to investors while keeping the rest to reinvest in the business or pay down debt.

Analysts Set New Price Targets

Wall Street analysts have issued mixed updates recently. On October 12, 2026, Citigroup kept a Buy rating on the stock but trimmed its price target to $65.00. JP Morgan also lowered its target to $58.00 on October 8, maintaining a Neutral stance. However, Truist Securities remains more optimistic, holding a Buy rating with an $85.00 target as of October 5. The average price target among 13 analysts is $79.94, which is higher than where the stock trades today.

What's Ahead for Terex Corporation

This cluster of insider buying is a data point for investors to consider alongside the company's upcoming earnings report in late October.

Monitoring whether these insiders hold their new shares through the next financial cycle will be a key factor for those following the company.
