Frank Pacholec is a declared insider of Stepan Co, with filings sourced from SEC (Form 4). In total, 313 filings cover trades dated from 16 June 2005 to 13 December 2019.

The open-market side counts 22 purchases for €99k alongside 168 sales for €5.0M. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €4.9M. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. The rest of the record consists of 57 share grants and 55 option exercises. So far in 2019, the count stands at no purchases and 2 sales.

In size, the median ticket on the buying side is €2,246. Looking at 22 purchases old enough to measure, the stock rose over the following 90 days in 45% of cases; the median change was -14.7%. Past outcomes like these are no guarantee of what comes next.

Most recently, on 17 December 2019, the filings show a share grant worth €8,238 in Stepan Co. The most recent open-market purchase was published on 4 March 2013, 4,997 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 2 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
