Director Richard Casey Sheahan reported the sale of 7,580 shares of Johnson Outdoors Inc on February 23, 2026, a transaction that the company disclosed in a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing lists the sale price at $49.77 per share, producing proceeds of approximately $377,256.
The disposition occurred while Johnson Outdoors’ stock was trading at $51.20, near its 52-week high of $51.02. Over the prior 12 months the share price had risen by 88%, according to the data reported with the filing.
Following the February 23 sale, Sheahan directly held 5,739 shares of the company. The filing provides the specific trade details but does not comment on any motivations for the sale.
Valuation note and research availability
Analysis from a subscription research service cited in the filing context indicates that Johnson Outdoors appears overvalued relative to that service’s Fair Value assessment at the current market price. The same research channel offers in-depth reports, including a Pro Research Report for JOUT and coverage for more than 1,400 U.S. equities, for subscribers seeking greater detail.
Recent financial results
Johnson Outdoors also released its fiscal first-quarter 2026 results, reporting an earnings per share (EPS) loss of -$0.33, which was better than analysts' forecast of -$0.45. That difference represents a positive surprise of 26.67% relative to consensus expectations. For the quarter, revenue totaled $140.93 million, exceeding the anticipated $121.66 million.
Those results point to notable top-line growth alongside an earnings shortfall that was narrower than expected. The company’s ability to outpace revenue and EPS estimates is highlighted in the reported figures. The filing notes that investors displayed optimism after the release, though it does not detail specific market price reactions.
The SEC Form 4 and the company’s quarterly disclosures together provide the factual basis for Sheahan’s reported sale and for the recent operating performance, while the valuation comment is tied to the assessment from the subscription research service mentioned above.
