Patricia B. Melcher

Patricia B. Melcher has filed trades across 2 companies (mainly through SEC (Form 4)), most often in Hornbeck Offshore Services Inc /LA and NOV Inc. In total, 99 filings cover trades dated from 30 December 2005 to 20 May 2025.

Both buying and selling appear: 8 purchases worth €216k, against 47 sales worth €1.1M. Netting one side against the other leaves €917k of net selling. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. Besides market trades, the filings include 35 share grants and 5 option exercises.

In size, the median ticket on the buying side is €15k. Of 5 purchases, 4 formed part of a group of insiders buying within 30 days of each other. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase.

On 22 May 2025 came the latest disclosure, a share grant in NOV Inc. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 3,050 days ago, on 3 July 2018. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
