Lance Ryan Michael sold 113,221 shares of COP at $132.71 on 2026-03-31, reducing holdings by 24.4%; stock up 16.3% in 30 days, 41.0% in 90 days.
Lance Ryan Michael, Chairman and CEO of ConocoPhillips, sold 113,221 shares for $15,025,389.08, reducing his stake from 463,221 to 350,000 shares (a 24.4% reduction). The sale occurred at $132.71, near the 52-week high of $133.80, just as the stock has experienced strong momentum with 90-day returns of 41.0%. Notably, this marks the second sale within an 11-day window (a prior sale on 2026-03-20 also remains immeasurable). His same-ticker sales history shows mixed timing: 2 of 3 measurable COP sales yielded negative 90-day returns, indicating some success identifying peaks, though the most recent completed sale (2025-12-19) resulted in a +36.2% 90-day return, meaning the stock continued rising after his sale. The transaction size and timing merit monitoring as the stock consolidates near decade-high valuations and the executive continues to liquidate positions.
