Sterling Infrastructure shares are under pressure as investors react to heavy insider selling, profit-taking after a long rally, and worries about a softer residential housing market that could hurt its Building Solutions segment. The selling wave follows a major disposal by CEO Joseph Cutillo, who unloaded 50,000 shares worth about $22.6 million.
Adding to the negative mood, Wall Street Zen cut its rating on Sterling Infrastructure, lowering the stock from “strong-buy” to “buy” on valuation concerns. The downgrade has reinforced doubts about how much upside remains after the stock’s strong multi-year run, prompting some shareholders to lock in gains and step to the sidelines.
