The sale was conducted in accordance with a trading plan outlined in a June 10, 2026, SEC filing. The shares were sold at a rate of $218.74 each. On the same date, he additionally sold 993 shares at a price of $220.04 per share, totaling $218,499. This transaction was tied to tax withholding requirements. Furthermore, Camposano acquired shares through company awards. He received 856 shares as part of a Conditional Share Award that vested on the same day, and 1,717 shares from a performance-based grant in October 2023, following the verification of his performance on September 14, 2026, by Ferguson's Compensation Committee. The transactions took place as Ferguson's shares were trading near their 52-week low of $212.13, at a current price of $222.94. Analysts view the stock as potentially undervalued, with InvestingPro labeling it as one of the platform's most undervalued stocks. Ferguson Enterprises maintains a \"GOOD\" financial health rating with a P/E ratio of 21.6. Following these share sales, Camposano's beneficial ownership of Ferguson's common stock increased to 10,952 shares. Notably, Ferguson reported a 4.6% increase in net sales to $8.8 billion for its fiscal second quarter of 2026. However, diluted earnings per share fell short of expectations, coming in at $0.04, well below the anticipated $2.94. Revenue for the quarter reached $354.7 million, demonstrating solid sales growth and improved operating trends.
