We just published a list of 10 Buy the Dip Stocks Insiders Are Loading Up On After the Recent Market Sell-Off, and SPX Technologies Inc. (NYSE:SPXC) ranked 9th on this list.
Thursday, November 5 represented the worst trading session for the U.S. market in over a year. the Nasdaq Composite dropped 5.52%, the S&P 500 fell 4.36%, and the Dow shed 3.44%, as Wall Street's post-midterm optimism could not last long. Concerns around a potential weakness in AI spending reversed the post-election rally and led to almost $2.5 trillion wiped out of the U.S. market.
In the middle of this chaos, many names showed resistance and are still trading at their all-time highs. In our recent list of 10 Best All-Time High Stocks to Buy According to Wall Street, we uncover some of the stocks that still offer captivating upside to investors.
Various market sectors took a hit, including semiconductors which got affected the most. Technology was also amongst the worst-performing segments, dipping almost 8%. Just two days prior to the November 5 crash, we covered Warren Buffett's list of the 10 best stocks with attractive upside potential.
Situations like this trigger fear within the market. But for corporate insiders, including company executives and directors, it offers attractive entry points. These insiders have a more detailed understanding of their businesses compared to investors and analysts. They know about a company's growth prospects, margin potential, and product pipelines way before the market does.
Hence, a drop in share price does not necessarily mean that their stance on the company's outlook would also change. Through open-market purchases out of their own pockets, the insiders send some clear signals to the market. Unlike stock awards or option exercises, these purchases come out of personal savings, and no one is forced to make them.
SPX Technologies Inc. is amongst the stocks that have seen a notable amount of insider purchases from October 6 to November 6, following a major market sell-off. Stock awards and option exercises have been excluded from these qualifying purchases. The share price has fallen almost 21% over a one month period, as of November 6.
SPX Technologies Inc. (NYSE:SPXC) supplies highly engineered and solution-driven infrastructure equipment products and technologies, covering the HVAC and detection and measurement segments. The stock closed at $142.71 on November 6, extending its 2026 decline to more than 24%.
With a market capitalization of $7.15 billion, it has traded within a 52-week range of $137.86 and $251.08, and is currently priced at a trailing earnings multiple of 23.75x. With a forward P/E multiple of 14.41x, analysts are expecting earnings to expand over the coming year. See how Conestoga Capital Advisors highlighted SPX Technologies in its Q3 2026 investor letter.
On November 3, independent board member Brian Deck bought 3,000 shares for a total value of $493,020. The purchase followed the stock's recent bearish run, bringing Deck's total holdings in SPX Technologies to 3,742 shares (see the history of insider purchases in SPXC).
