% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

From CSW Industrials, Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-05-26)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- Our products are sold directly to end-users or through designated channels in over 100 countries around the world, primarily including the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia.
- We remain disciplined in our approach to acquisitions, particularly as it relates to our assessment of valuation, prospective synergies, diligence, cultural fit and ease of integration, especially in light of economic conditions.
Partnerships
- The decrease in other expense was due to the above mentioned releases of non-cash tax indemnification assets, as well as a $1.4 million gain reported in the previous year in connection with the sale of a property previously held for investment that did not recur.
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- Regulatory and statutory changes applicable to us or our customers could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
- We and many of our customers are subject to various national, state and local laws, rules and regulations. Changes in any of these areas could result in additional compliance costs, seizures, confiscations, recalls or monetary fines, any of which could prevent or inhibit the development, distribution and sale of our products.
- Compliance with extensive environmental, health and safety laws could require material expenditures, changes in our operations or site remediation.
- We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws, as well as other laws governing our operations. If we fail to comply with these laws, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, other remedial measures, and legal expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
