Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (ES)
0 of 2 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | % of holdings sold | 10b5-1 plan | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-24…2026-08-25 | Conner Penelope M | EVP-Cust Exp & Energy Strategy | 3,000 | $214K | 25.5% | No | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023) |
| 2026-06-04 | Butler Gregory B | Executive VP & General Counsel | 7,000 | $489K | 9.7% | No | Opportunistic (traded every year 2023–2025, no repeating month) |
% 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.
Insider purchases (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (ES)
1 purchase, $50K. Private placements, offerings, dividend reinvestment and employee stock purchase plan buys are excluded.
