Boehly Todd L Sell
4,889,159 shares
$72,604,011
@ $14.85
Significance 6/10

10% Owner Boehly Todd L sold 4,889,159 shares of LXU for $72.6M at $14.85; retains 10.37M shares.

Boehly Todd L, a 10% owner, sold 4,889,159 shares at $14.85, reducing his stake by 32.0% and generating $72,604,011.15 in proceeds. The sale occurred while the stock has risen 89.7% over the past 90 days and 35.8% over 30 days, trading at $15.78 against a 52-week high of $16.88. The company has demonstrated strong fundamentals with 17.8% annual revenue growth, a $1.1B market cap, and positive net income of $7,115,000.00 in the latest quarter. This partial liquidation by a controlling owner during a sharp upward trajectory—while maintaining a substantial 10.37M share position—reflects a portfolio action on an appreciated holding rather than a confidence signal.

BEHRMAN MARK T Sell
President and CEO
250,000 shares
$2,937,500
@ $11.75
Significance 5/10

LSB Industries CEO BEHRMAN MARK T sold 250,000 shares at $11.75 for $2.9M; stock now at $12.66, 52-week high

BEHRMAN MARK T, as President and CEO, sold 250,000 shares on 2026-03-02 at $11.75 per share, reducing his holdings by 14.4% from 1,737,195 shares to 1,487,195 shares. The sale occurred when the stock was trading $0.91 below the current $12.66 price and at the 52-week high of $12.66. His cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -2.5% and a 90d win rate of 0.00%, suggesting limited predictive value from his prior open-market activity. The company's fundamentals remain sound with annual revenue growth of +17.8% and a P/E of 21.10, though the stock has rallied +38.4% in 30 days and +39.0% in 90 days, leaving limited context for understanding the discrete motivation of this sale.

GOLSEN BARRY H Sell
118,980 shares
$1,196,201
@ $10.05
Significance 6/10

Director Barry Golsen sold 118,980 shares at $10.05 avg, reducing stake by 77.2% to 35,043 shares post-transaction

Barry Golsen, a director at LSB Industries, executed 6 separate sales totaling 118,980 shares for $1,196,201.02 over three consecutive trading days (January 21–23, 2026) at prices clustered tightly between $10.02 and $10.06 (blended average $10.05). The transactions reduced his holdings from 154,023 shares to 35,043 shares, a -77.2% reduction. The current stock price of $9.88 is 0.8% below the 52-week high of $9.96, indicating the sales occurred near recent highs. LSB Industries reported revenue of $155,431,000.00 for the latest quarter with net income of $7,115,000.00, but the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year and has experienced -12.0% annual revenue growth. Prior to this filing, Golsen had conducted multiple sales at LXU (five prior trades within the last month, with the most recent measurable outcome showing -5.5% 30-day return on a December 5 sale), and his cross-ticker track record across all open-market sells shows an average 30-day return of -6.0%. The concentration of these sales near recent highs, the substantial reduction in directorship stake, and the underlying profitability challenges warrant monitoring of potential directional concerns.

GOLSEN BARRY H Sell
175,697 shares
$1,609,380
@ $9.16
Significance 6/10

Director Barry H. Golsen sold 175,697 shares over 2 days for $1,609,380.40, reducing stake 57% at LXU amid -12% annual revenue decline.

Director Barry H. Golsen executed 4 separate sales totaling 175,697 shares for $1,609,380.40 on January 8–9, 2026, with a blended average price of $9.16, reducing his holdings from 308,308 shares to 132,611 shares (a -57.0% reduction). The timing is noteworthy given the company's financial headwinds: annual revenue declined -12.0%, the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, and his prior 4 sales at this ticker have each posted negative 30-day returns (-5.5%, -5.5%, -6.4%, -6.4%), suggesting a pattern of selling into price strength rather than at opportune moments. Against this backdrop, a 57% reduction in holdings by a sitting director merits attention as a significant portfolio action during a period of revenue contraction and full-year losses.

GOLSEN BARRY H Sell
139,322 shares
$1,273,755
@ $9.14
Significance 6/10

Director Barry H. Golsen sold 139,322 shares at blended $9.14 for $1.3M at LXU (34.1% of holdings)

Barry H. Golsen, a director at LSB Industries, executed 4 separate sales totaling 139,322 shares for $1,273,754.66 at a blended average price of $9.14 across December 4-5, 2025, reducing his holdings by 34.1% from 408,349 to 269,027 shares. This material reduction in director stake occurs against a backdrop where the company posted negative full-year net income, revenue contracted 12.0% year-over-year, and the current stock price of $8.77 sits 11.7% below the 52-week high of $9.93. The timing of this significant director liquidation—executed at prices near recent highs—warrants investor attention given the company's recent profitability challenges and revenue decline.

CHANDLER JOHN D Buy
8,000 shares
$52,560
@ $6.57
Significance 4/10

Director John D Chandler buys 8,000 shares of LXU at $6.57 amid -12.0% revenue decline and unprofitability.

John D Chandler, a director, purchased 8,000 shares at $6.57 on 2025-05-05, his first recorded position in LSB Industries. The purchase occurs against a backdrop of material operational headwinds: annual revenue contracted -12.0% year-over-year and the company posted negative net income of $-1.6M in its most recent full fiscal year. The stock is currently trading at $6.47, down 35.0% from its 52-week high of $9.96, though it has recovered 18.5% over the past 30 days. This insider buy into a fundamentally distressed business—at a price within the lower half of the 52-week range—warrants scrutiny into whether this reflects director conviction in an operational turnaround or whether other factors (board-mandated minimums, option exercises, or other incentives not reflected here) drove the transaction.
