HMN HORACE MANN EDUCATORS CORP /DE/ Insider Trading

HMN CMO Chauby Steven R purchased 180 shares at $42.40; holds 4,643 post-transaction.

Chief Marketing Officer Chauby Steven R acquired 180 shares of Horace Mann Educators Corp at $42.40 on 2026-03-26, a modest addition to his 4,463-share position (net change +4.0%). The stock is trading at $43.11, near the lower end of its 52-week range ($38.84–$47.59), down 9.4% from its 52-week high and down 7.2% over the last 90 days. The company's fundamentals appear stable with annual revenue growth of 6.7%, a low P/E of 7.81, and a market cap of $1.7B, though the recent downward price drift may reflect broader market conditions or sector-specific pressures. The transaction represents routine insider activity at modest scale relative to both the insider's total holdings and the company's market capitalization; no material pattern or urgent signal is evident from this purchase alone.

Horace Mann director Fetter Victor buys 3,500 shares at $42.73; +18.6% portfolio increase despite stock down 8.6% from 52-week high

Director Fetter Victor purchased 3,500 shares of HMN at $42.73 on 2026-02-25, increasing his holdings by 18.6% to 22,291 shares total. This represents a $149.5K commitment at a price near the lower end of the 52-week range ($38.84–$47.59), 8.6% below the recent peak. Examining his same-ticker history, his prior three HMN purchases show mixed near-term results (30-day returns ranging from -4.4% to +5.2%) but indicate 2 of 3 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with one delivering +9.6% upside. His cross-ticker track record reflects a 66.67% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of +2.0%, suggesting consistent but not exceptional execution across positions. The stock currently trades at $43.51, roughly 1.8% above his transaction price, and fundamentals are modest (P/E of 7.88, revenue growth of 6.7%, $58.3M net income on $438.5M quarterly revenue)—context that merits observation of whether this purchase proves prescient or merely adds to a large existing position in a lower-multiple equity.

EVP Conklin sells 20,200 shares at avg $43.44 for $877,545.28; reduces stake 26.4% to 56,362 shares.

Bret A. Conklin, EVP of Horace Mann Educators Corp (HMN), executed 3 separate sales totaling 20,200 shares for $877,545.28 on May 28–29, 2025, reducing his holdings by 26.4% to 56,362 shares. The blended average price of $43.44 aligns closely with the current price of $43.43 and sits within 1.2% of the 52-week high of $43.96, suggesting the sales occurred near peak valuation. Notably, Conklin's prior 4 sales at HMN achieved a 100% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, with all four trailing sales showing negative 90-day returns; this track record at the specific ticker demonstrates consistent downside capture. The company's fundamentals remain solid—revenue of $416,400,000.00, net income of $38,200,000.00, annual revenue growth of +6.9%, and a P/E of 15.46—but the material reduction in an executive's stake at peak price warrants monitoring of subsequent stock performance and any developments in the company's strategic outlook.

Director Fetter Victor bought 3,500 shares of HMN at $44.03 for $154,105.00, raising holdings to 14,654 shares (+31.4%).

The transaction occurred near the upper end of the 52-week trading range ($32.13–$43.96), with the stock currently trading at $43.04, close to its 52-week high. His same-ticker history shows mixed timing outcomes: one prior buy at HMN in 2024 generated a negative 90-day return of -5.0%, while an earlier 2023 purchase achieved a +9.6% 90-day return. The company's fundamentals remain stable with Revenue of $416,400,000.00 in the latest quarter, Net income of $38,200,000.00, and a P/E of 15.32. The timing of this purchase during a near-peak price level and the mixed track record on same-ticker buys merit investor attention to monitor subsequent stock performance.

EVP Bret Conklin sells 27,017 shares of HMN for $1.1M at blended avg $41.50 across 4 separate transactions on Nov 7-8

Bret Conklin, Executive Vice President of Horace Mann Educators, executed 4 separate sales totaling 27,017 shares for $1,121,294.56 at a blended average price of $41.50 on November 7-8, 2024. The sale reduced his holdings by 31.4%, from 85,913 shares to 58,896 shares post-transaction. The stock is currently trading at $42.06, near its 52-week high of $42.64, and has gained 20.6% over the past 30 days and 25.8% over the past 90 days, suggesting strong recent momentum at the time of the sale. With a P/E of 16.49 and annual revenue growth of 7.9%, the company shows stable fundamentals, but the size and pattern of this multi-tranche sale warrants review of the filing details and any associated disclosures regarding timing and authorization.

HMN CEO Marita Zuraitis sold 69,925 shares for $2.9M across 6 transactions (Nov 7-11) at $41.48 blended average.

Marita Zuraitis, HMN President & CEO, executed 6 separate sales totaling 69,925 shares for $2,900,306.52 ($2.9M) at a blended average price of $41.48 between November 7 and 11, 2024, reducing her holdings by 18.7% from 374,466 to 304,541 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $42.64 (-1.4%) and follows strong recent momentum: the stock gained 20.6% over 30 days and 25.8% over 90 days. The magnitude of this equity reduction by the CEO—nearly 70K shares—is material in absolute terms and represents a significant portfolio adjustment. Critically, Zuraitis's cross-ticker track record shows poor sell timing overall: her 6 prior open-market sells posted an average 90-day return of -1.0% (well-timed rate 100.00%, meaning those sells preceded declines); however, at HMN specifically, her 2 measurable prior sells (January 2024) achieved -0.8% and -1.1% 90-day returns, while 3 more recent October sells are not yet measurable. The stock's fundamentals remain solid (P/E 16.49, $1.7B market cap, 7.9% revenue growth), but the timing of a large CEO equity reduction following a steep recent rally warrants investor attention.

HMN CEO Marita Zuraitis sold 42,117 shares for $1,560,894.42 on 2024-10-17 at blended average $37.06.

Marita Zuraitis, President & CEO of Horace Mann Educators Corp, executed three separate sales on 2024-10-17 totaling 42,117 shares for $1,560,894.42, reducing her holding by 12.4% to 296,335 shares post-transaction. The current price is $36.66, reflecting a -6.4% decline from the 52-week high of $39.17, while the stock is up 5.5% over the prior 30 and 90 days. Zuraitis's prior trading history at HMN shows strong timing discipline: all three prior HMN sales on 2024-01-29 exhibited negative 90-day returns (-0.8% and -1.1%), and her cross-ticker track record reports a 100.00% well-timed rate on prior sells. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $388,100,000.00, net income of $3,800,000.00, and 7.9% annual revenue growth, with a P/E of 18.33 and market cap of $1,494,584,684.58. This sale warrants review given the scale of the reduction and the insider's demonstrated ability to execute well-timed exits.
