On August 27, TTM Technologies Inc rose 6% overnight, trading at $129.0/share, with turnover of $35,700. The stock gained after a regulatory filing revealed that CEO Edwin Roks purchased 10,000 shares on August 26 for approximately $1.1 million, bringing his total holdings to 64,814 shares.

The CEO's purchase follows director Geveden Rex D's acquisition of 5,000 shares at $104.90 per share on August 24, totaling approximately $524,500. The back-to-back insider buying by two senior executives within days represents a strong internal confidence signal, particularly as the stock had been under pressure following the company's announcement on August 17 of an approximately $1.1 billion all-cash acquisition of Epiq Design Solutions, which aims to expand its RF, software-defined radio, and space computing portfolio across defense markets including missile defense, communications, and electronic warfare.

The company's fundamentals remain supportive, with Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.99 beating analyst consensus of $0.90, and revenue growing 37.42% year-over-year to $1.004 billion. Management expects the Epiq acquisition to be immediately accretive to adjusted EBITDA margin and accretive to non-GAAP diluted EPS in 2028.
