AMPY Amplify Energy Corp. Insider Trading

Director Clint Coghill sold 1,000,000 shares (28.5% of holdings) for $6,454,821.89 across three transactions at $6.31–$6.66.

Director Clint Coghill executed 3 separate sales totaling 1,000,000 shares for $6,454,821.89, reducing his stake from 3,504,347 shares to 2,504,347 shares—a 28.5% reduction of his pre-transaction holdings. The sales occurred at prices ($6.31–$6.66) near the 52-week high of $6.54, and the blended average price of $6.45 is only 4.4% below the current stock price of $6.18 and 1.4% below the 52-week high, suggesting the sales were executed at elevated levels. Notably, his prior 5 purchases at AMPY were all well-timed at the 90-day mark (positive returns post-purchase), but this large discretionary sale warrants scrutiny given the company's deteriorating fundamentals: annual revenue declined 10.6% year-over-year, net income was negative at -$20,966,000.00, and the stock currently trades at a P/E of 77.25. The timing and magnitude of the sale—eliminating nearly one-third of holdings at valuation peaks—contrasts with his prior accumulation pattern and suggests a material reduction in exposure to Amplify Energy.

AMPY director Coghill purchases 350,000 shares for $1.3M across 3 days at $3.82–$3.89 avg; holdings rise 11.1% to 3.50M shares

Clint D Coghill, a director of Amplify Energy, executed 3 separate open-market purchases totaling 350,000 shares for $1,335,988.85 between August 12–14, 2025, at prices ranging from $3.69 to $3.89 (blended average $3.82). This transaction increases his post-transaction holdings to 3,504,347 shares from 3,154,347 shares—a net addition of 350,000 shares (+11.1% versus pre-transaction holdings). The current price of $3.95 sits 45.4% below the 52-week high of $7.23 but 22.3% above the 30-day prior level and 35.7% above the 90-day prior level. His prior 4 purchases at AMPY since June 2025 show a -11.2% 30-day return on the June 20 buy, with 3 other purchases still awaiting 90-day outcome measurements. Cross-ticker, his track record on 4 prior buys averages a -5.9% 30-day return. The company trades at a P/E of 10.13 with $68.4M quarterly revenue, $6.4M net income, and an annual revenue decline of 4.2%. The timing of this acquisition—a substantial 11.1% increase in holdings over three consecutive trading days in a stock down 45.4% from its 52-week high—falls against a backdrop of prior buys at this ticker showing underwater 30-day returns and a cross-ticker pattern of negative average returns within 30 days of purchase.

Insider purchases 75,000 AMPY shares in 2 transactions for $267,500, raising holdings +138.3%; prior AMPY buys returned -24.4% and -2.3% over 90 days.

James Frew made two separate open-market purchases totaling 75,000 shares for $267,500.00 at a blended average price of $3.57, increasing his holdings from 54,222 to 129,222 shares (+138.3%). The current price of $3.87 is -48.5% from the 52-week high of $7.51, and the stock has appreciated +15.2% over the past 30 days and +33.0% over 90 days. However, his track record at this ticker is unfavorable: his 2 prior purchases at AMPY resulted in 90-day returns of -24.4% (from March 2025) and -2.3% (from November 2023), with a 0% win rate at the 90-day mark. His cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -9.4%, also with a 0% win rate, suggesting a consistent pattern of unfavorable timing on purchases across holdings.

Director Coghill buys 150,000 AMPY shares at $3.67; stock down 59.9% from 52-week high but up 18.2% in 30 days.

Clint D Coghill, a Director at Amplify Energy Corp., purchased 150,000 shares at $3.67 on 2025-06-20, increasing his holdings from 3,004,347 to 3,154,347 shares. The transaction occurred as the stock trades at $3.19, substantially below its 52-week high of $7.96 but in the context of a recent 18.2% 30-day gain. Prior same-ticker buys by Coghill on 2025-06-04, 2025-06-05, and 2025-06-06 remain too recent to assess outcomes. The underlying business faces headwinds: annual revenue contracted 4.2% year-over-year, with the latest quarter showing a $5.9M net loss against $72.0M in revenue. This is a modest-scale purchase by the director relative to his substantial existing position and occurs in a security with sharply depressed valuation, warranting observation of whether this pattern continues or reverses.

Director Christopher W. Hamm buys 77,176 shares of AMPY at $3.67; position grows to 244,547 shares (+46.1%)

Director Christopher W. Hamm purchased 77,176 shares for $283,235.92 at $3.67, increasing his holdings by 46.1% from 167,371 to 244,547 shares. This substantial accumulation occurs as Amplify Energy reports negative net income of $-5.9M despite $72.0M in revenue, and the stock trades 54.0% below its 52-week high of $7.96, though it has gained 37.1% over the past 30 days from its recent lows. The purchase size and director-level position suggest material conviction, but the company's current profitability loss and revenue decline of 4.2% year-over-year add complexity to the signal. The stock's recent 30-day rebound warrants attention to whether the insider purchase precedes or follows broader sentiment shifts.

Director Coghill buys 304,000 shares over 3 days at avg $3.28; holdings rise 11.3% to 3.00M shares

Director Clint D Coghill purchased 304,000 shares in three separate transactions on 2025-06-04 through 2025-06-05, paying $997,190.00 at prices ranging from $3.26 to $3.40—each within 1-3 cents of the current price of $3.25. This purchase increased his holdings by 11.3%, from 2.70M shares to 3.00M shares. The stock is currently trading 59.2% below its 52-week high of $7.96, despite a 20.8% gain over the past 30 days. Against this backdrop, the company is generating negative net income of $-5.9M on quarterly revenue of $72.0M, with annual revenue declining 4.2% year-over-year. The multi-day accumulation at depressed valuations warrants monitoring of whether this represents conviction in a turnaround or a test of floor-building support.

Insider buys 10,000 AMPY shares at $2.97, expanding position 25.5%; stock down 60.3% from 52-week high; prior same-ticker buy underperformed

FURBEE DANIEL purchased 10,000 shares of Amplify Energy Corp. at $2.97 on 2025-05-30, increasing his holdings from 39.2K to 49.2K shares. The transaction occurs when the stock trades at $3.16, down 60.3% from its 52-week high of $7.96, yet the company reported negative net income of $-5.9M against $72.0M in quarterly revenue, with annual revenue declining 4.2%. His prior same-ticker buy on 2023-11-07 showed a 90-day return of -4.7%, marking his sole AMPY-specific transaction ending with a loss. Across all insider holdings, his track record shows a 0% win rate on buys at the 90-day horizon, with his historical purchases averaging -4.7% returns over that window. The 30-day tailwind following this purchase (+14.1%) contrasts sharply with his longer-term underperformance pattern and the company's operational headwinds.

Director Deborah G Adams bought 10,000 AMPY shares at $4.14 on 2025-03-11; stock now down 26.8% in 30 days.

Deborah G Adams, a director of Amplify Energy Corp., purchased 10,000 shares at $4.14 on 2025-03-11, increasing her holdings by 19.2% to 62.0K shares. The transaction occurred amid a sharp decline: the stock is down -26.8% over the past 30 days and -50.9% from its 52-week high of $7.96, trading now at $3.91. Her prior buy at this ticker in September 2023 also underperformed, returning -14.5% over 90 days. A cluster pattern is present: 3 other insiders also purchased AMPY shares within the same 14-day window, which may reflect coordinated board or management confidence. However, the fundamental backdrop is mixed—the company reported revenue of $69.9M and net income of $22.7M with modest valuation (P/E 12.61), though annual revenue is declining at -4.2%. The timing of this buy into a depressed price environment, combined with coordinated insider activity, presents a data point for monitoring whether this represents a floor or further deterioration.

AMPY insider FREW JAMES buys 15,000 shares at $3.85; stock down 50.2% from 52-week high amid cluster activity.

FREW JAMES purchased 15,000 shares at $3.85 on 2025-03-07, increasing holdings by 38.2% from 39,222 to 54,222 shares. The transaction occurs in a context of material deterioration: the stock has fallen -50.2% from its 52-week high and -23.8% over the past 30 days. Notably, 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated accumulation at depressed levels. However, the insider's cross-ticker track record shows a 0% 90-day win rate with average 90-day returns of -3.1%, and his sole prior trade at AMPY (buy on 2023-11-08) likewise posted negative 90-day performance. The company itself shows modest fundamentals (P/E 12.77, $22.7M net income) but contracting revenue (-4.2% year-over-year), which combined with the insider's poor prior timing history, provides limited conviction signal for this accumulation.

Willsher Martyn bought 15,000 shares of AMPY at $3.84; stock down 50.2% from 52-week high. Cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within 14 days.

Willsher Martyn purchased 15,000 shares at $3.84, increasing his holdings to 310,794 shares (+5.1% vs. pre-transaction). The transaction occurs while AMPY trades at $3.96, down 50.2% from its 52-week high of $7.96 and down 23.8% over the past 30 days, suggesting material near-term weakness. Notably, this is part of a cluster pattern in which 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, indicating coordinated or independently aligned insider activity at depressed valuation levels. With a P/E of 12.77 and positive net income of $22.7M on annual revenue of $69.9M, the company is not in financial distress, which adds weight to the insider purchases occurring in a period of significant share price decline.
