Following the purchase, Levy owns 1,727,191 shares. →Builders FirstSource director Levy added $4.4M to reach a 1.7M share position as lumber prices retreat and mortgage applications drop 8% year-over-year. The buy signals board confidence despite housing starts falling to pandemic lows, BLDR has shed 22% since January as homebuilder sentiment weakens. |
| | HBAN | Stephen D Steinour buys $500K of HBAN Stephen D Steinour, President, CEO and Chairman at Huntington Bancshares, purchased 32,277 shares at $15.49 per share for a total value of $500,000. Following the purchase, Steinour owns 1,442,844.55 shares. →Huntington CEO Steinour's $500K open-market buy comes as regional banks face Commercial Real Estate maturity walls and deposit repricing pressure. The purchase lifts his stake to 1.4M shares, notable given HBAN trades at 0.9x tangible book while peer Zions just reported office loan charge-offs doubling sequentially. |

Sale $2.2B SGF FANG Holdings, LP sold 12.65 million shares of Diamondback Energy (FANG) for approximately $2.15 billion at $170.19 per share, according to a Form 4 filing. The 10% owner retains 84.04 million shares following the transaction. This sale represents one of the largest insider dispositions by dollar value in recent months. →SGF FANG Holdings just unloaded $2.2 billion in Diamondback Energy shares, roughly 13% of its position, marking one of the largest insider sales in the Permian pure-play sector this year. The 10%-plus beneficial owner still holds 84 million shares, but selling 12.6 million outside a 10b5-1 plan suggests either strategic portfolio rebalancing or distribution pressure from the LP structure. For context, Diamondback's recent M&A appetite (Endeavor Energy acquisition closed in 2024) has nearly doubled its enterprise value since 2022, creating natural exit windows for early-stage financial backers. |
Also Filing Today | COP | Andrew D Lundquist exercises $1.7M in COP options Andrew D Lundquist, Senior Vice President at ConocoPhillips, exercised options to acquire 34,500 shares at $49.76 per share for a total value of $1.7 million. Following the transaction, Lundquist owns 51,969 shares. →ConocoPhillips SVP Lundquist exercised options at a $49.76 strike while COP trades near $119, a 140% gain that reflects awards granted during the 2020 oil crash. Energy executives are crystallizing compensation gains as crude stabilizes above $70, though Lundquist retained 60% of his position post-exercise. |
| | PSX | Brian Mandell exercises $3.8M in PSX options Brian Mandell, Executive Vice President at Phillips 66, exercised options to acquire 42,800 shares at $89.57 per share for a total value of $3.8 million. Following the transaction, Mandell owns 104,394.92 shares. →Phillips 66 EVP Mandell's $3.8M option exercise at $89.57 comes as refining margins compress from 2022 peaks. The move follows peer Marathon Petroleum's recent executive stock activity, signaling senior leadership is monetizing equity awarded during the pandemic refining drawdown, when crack spreads were negative. |
| | WBD | Paul A Gould sells $16.4M of WBD Paul A Gould, a director at Warner Bros. Discovery, sold 600,000 shares at $27.35 per share for a total value of $16.4 million. Following the sale, Gould owns 244,357 shares. →Warner Bros. Discovery director Gould dumped $16.4M, 71% of his stake, days after WBD announced its merger with Paramount Skydance. The sale wasn't under a 10b5-1 plan, raising questions about board-level conviction in the $52B media mega-deal that CEO Zaslav is getting an excise tax gross-up to complete. |
| | COP | Nicholas G Olds sells $1.7M of COP Nicholas G Olds, Executive Vice President at ConocoPhillips, sold 14,522 shares at $119.36 per share for a total value of $1.7 million. Following the sale, Olds owns 12,389 shares. →ConocoPhillips EVP Olds sold at $119.36, near 52-week highs, while his colleague Lundquist exercised low-strike options on the same day. The divergence is notable: Olds reduced his stake by 54%, suggesting profit-taking rather than the compensation crystallization seen in Lundquist's transaction. |
| | KR | Ronald Sargent sells $2.0M of KR Ronald Sargent, Chairman of the Board at Kroger, sold 26,567 shares at $75.60 per share for a total value of $2.0 million. Following the sale, Sargent owns 254,998 shares. →Kroger Chairman Sargent sold $2M two weeks after the FTC's challenge to the Albertsons merger was dismissed, yet with state-level lawsuits still pending. The timing sits between legal victory and operational uncertainty, Sargent retained 93% of his holdings while the combined entity's integration strategy remains contested in Colorado and Washington. |

Dunne will remain on the Board and the Compensation and Management Resources Committee until the meeting. →AIG director Dunne exits after the 2026 annual meeting, the fourth board departure since 2024 as CEO Zaffino reshapes governance following the life insurance unit carve-out. Dunne joined in 2017 during AIG's post-crisis restructuring; his exit continues the transition from turnaround-era directors to Zaffino's strategic realignment. |
