Ricardo S. Malfitano

This profile gathers the share dealings of Ricardo S. Malfitano in Praxair Inc. We count 48 filings; the first trade dates from 18 January 2006 and the latest from 23 February 2012.

Both buying and selling appear: 1 purchase worth €737, against 29 sales worth €43.2M. Netting one side against the other leaves €43.2M of net selling. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. Outside the open market, there are 4 share grants and 14 option exercises. In 2012 alone, the filings show no purchases and 8 sales.

On 24 February 2012 came the latest disclosure, an option exercise for €2.1M in Praxair Inc. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 7,558 days ago, on 1 March 2006. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification. This summary is built from SEC (Form 4) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.
