NE Noble Corp plc Insider Trading

CEO Robert W. Eifler sold 50,000 shares for $2,275,389.59 on 2026-06-15 as stock declined -20.9% in 30 days.

Robert W. Eifler, President & CEO, executed 2 separate sales totaling 50,000 shares ($2.3M) at a blended average price of $45.51 on 2026-06-15, reducing his holdings by 4.0% to 1,193,828 shares. The timing is notable: the stock is currently trading at $43.03, down 20.9% over the prior 30 days and 21.7% below its 52-week high of $54.98, suggesting the sales occurred as momentum deteriorated. At the same ticker (NE), Eifler's prior 2 sells both posted negative 90-day returns (-6.3% and -7.6%), indicating a pattern of exiting before declines; however, his cross-ticker track record on sells shows an average 90-day return of -7.0% with a 100% well-timed rate, a sample of only 2 prior sales. Fundamentals remain solid (revenue $785.7M, net income $120.7M, P/E 29.88), so the sale does not signal distress but rather a reduction in his already-substantial 1.19M-share position amid current price weakness.

SVP of Operations sells 40,000 shares for $2M, half his holdings; stock trades below recent highs as company remains profitable.

Joey M Kawaja, SVP of Operations at Noble Corp, sold 40,000 shares—half his total holdings—in a single transaction worth approximately $2 million. This represents a significant reduction in his personal stake at a time when the stock is trading noticeably below its recent highs, suggesting he may be diversifying while the company is still operationally strong and profitable. Kawaja has now sold shares on three separate occasions, and his most recent prior sale resulted in the stock posting modest gains afterward, indicating that particular exit was poorly timed. However, a second prior sale from late 2024 remains too recent to evaluate, so a complete pattern of his selling success cannot yet be determined. The underlying company shows solid fundamentals—it's profitable with growing revenue—making this a measured exit from a fundamentally sound business rather than a distress sale.

SVP Blake sells roughly half his Noble Corp stake; prior exits at this stock have shown poor timing.

Denton Blake, SVP of Marketing & Contracts, sold approximately half his Noble Corp holdings in a single transaction. This represents his third sale at Noble on record, following two prior dispositions—though the outcome of his oldest sale remains too recent to evaluate. His most recent prior sale at Noble earlier this year saw the stock rise afterward, indicating poor timing on that exit. The company itself is profitable and growing revenue, and the stock remains slightly below its year highs, but Blake's divestiture adds to a pattern of open-market sales with no open-market purchases in his filing history. The sale occurred as the stock pulled back modestly from recent peaks, though it is still elevated compared to its 52-week low.

Noble Corp CEO Eifler sells 100,000 shares in 2 transactions for $4,661,764.48, reducing stake to 1,243,828 shares

Eifler, President & CEO of Noble Corp plc, executed two separate open-market sales on 2026-03-18, disposing of 100,000 shares (7.4% of his pre-transaction holdings) at blended average price $46.62. The stock is currently at $47.75, near its 52-week high, and has gained 70.7% over 90 days and 9.8% over 30 days. His prior sell at this ticker (2023-05-26) was not well-timed, with a positive 90-day return of 24.3% — meaning the stock rose after his sale. His one prior buy at NE (2025-02-20) declined 16.4% over 90 days. Company fundamentals show negative net income of $-21,095,000.00 against revenue of $798,017,000.00, though annual revenue growth stands at 7.4%. With P/E at 35.11 and the stock at multi-month highs, this sale by the top executive merits attention, particularly given the company's current profitability challenges.

CFO Barker sells 150,000 NE shares for $6,994,494.40; post-sale holdings drop to 164.8K (-47.7%)

Richard B. Barker (EVP and CFO) executed 2 separate sales totaling 150,000 shares for $6,994,494.40 on 2026-03-18, reducing his stake from 314,781 shares to 164,781 shares (a -47.7% reduction). The blended average sale price of $46.63 occurred as the stock trades at $47.75 current price, near its 52-week high, and has gained 70.7% over the past 90 days. Barker's cross-ticker track record shows a 33.33% well-timed rate on 4 prior open-market sells, but his same-ticker history at NE is notably poor: of his 4 prior measurable trades at this ticker, only 1 was well-timed, and his prior sell on 2025-01-30 was followed by a -32.9% 90-day decline. Negative net income of $-21.1M in the latest quarter contrasts with the elevated valuation (P/E of 35.11) and strong recent stock performance, warranting examination of whether this substantial insider reduction reflects confidence constraints given fundamental challenges.

CFO Richard Barker sold 20,000 shares of Noble Corp (NE) at $42.96; holdings drop to 314.8K shares as stock trades near 52-week highs.

Richard B. Barker, EVP and CFO, sold 20,000 shares on 2026-02-19 at $42.96, reducing his holdings by 6.0% to 314.8K shares. The transaction occurred as NE traded within -0.6% of its 52-week high ($45.82) and follows a sharp +51.4% appreciation over the prior 90 days. Examining his prior trades at NE over 5 transactions shows a timing pattern of 1 of 5 well-timed at the 90-day mark, with his prior two sales at this ticker returning -20.1% and -32.9% over 90 days respectively—both favorable exits. However, his cross-ticker sell history shows a 33.33% well-timed rate with only -0.5% average 90-day return across all prior sales, a modest track record. The company's fundamentals show an ongoing operating loss of $-21.1M in the latest quarter against $798.0M in revenue, with a high P/E ratio of 33.47, suggesting the stock's recent rally may reflect sentiment decoupled from profitability. The sale near 52-week peaks warrants attention to whether Barker perceives valuation risk relative to core economics.

SVP Blake sold 23,255 shares of NE at $43.50; holds 79,261 post-sale amid 45.1% 90-day rally

Denton Blake, SVP of Marketing & Contracts, reduced his stake in Noble Corp plc by 23,255 shares (22.7% of pre-transaction holdings) in a single open-market transaction at $43.50 on 2026-02-17, realizing $1,011,592.50. The sale occurs after the stock has rallied 45.1% over 90 days and 33.0% over 30 days, currently trading 5.1% below its 52-week high of $45.82. His prior sale at this ticker (2024-11-11) was well-timed, with the stock declining 13.2% in the 90-day window post-sale, matching a 100% well-timed rate across his same-ticker history. However, context is important: while the stock has appreciated significantly in the recent period, Noble's fundamentals show a $-21.1M net loss in the latest quarter despite 7.4% annual revenue growth, and the P/E of 31.96 sits elevated relative to profitability. Blake retains 79,261 shares, maintaining material exposure to the company.

SVP Kawaja sells 35,000 shares of Noble Corp at $28.62; 90-day track record shows 100% well-timed sell rate.

SVP Kawaja Joey M executed a discretionary sale of 35,000 shares at $28.62, reducing holdings by 30.8% to 78,464 shares. His prior open-market sell at NE on 2024-11-11 delivered a -13.3% 90-day return, exemplifying his cross-ticker track record's 100.00% well-timed sell rate at the 90-day mark. The current price of $28.60 sits 24.5% below the 52-week high of $37.89, though the stock has risen 4.1% over the past 30 days. Noble Corp's fundamentals remain solid with $848.7M in latest quarterly revenue, $42.9M in net income, 18.1% annual revenue growth, and a 14.67 P/E ratio, leaving the timing signal as the most distinctive element of this filing.

Director Al J. Hirshberg purchases 10,000 shares of NE at $23.00, adding to position amid 56% decline from 52-week high.

Al J. Hirshberg, a Director, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 10,000 shares for $230,000.00 on 2025-03-11 at $23.00 per share, bringing his post-transaction holdings to 5,000 shares. The transaction occurs when the stock is trading at $22.46, down 56.0% from its 52-week high of $51.06, and down 29.2% over the prior 30 days. Despite the significant recent price decline, the company maintains operational scale with $800.5M in quarterly revenue, $61.2M in net income, and an 18.1% annual revenue growth rate, trading at a P/E of 7.64. The insider's purchase at reduced valuation levels against the backdrop of strong fundamentals and growth metrics merits investor attention, though the specific motivation and timing context require deeper review to assess conviction.

Director Charles M. Sledge bought 9.0K shares of Noble Corp at $27.83; stock now $27.19, down 46.8% from 52-week high. Cluster buy signal.

Director Charles M. Sledge purchased 8,992 shares at $27.83 on 2025-02-20, part of a cluster pattern with 2 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days. The stock is currently trading at $27.19, down 46.8% from its 52-week high of $51.06, and has declined 18.2% over the past 30 days and 19.0% over 90 days. Fundamentals remain solid: the company posted $800.5M in quarterly revenue with $61.2M in net income and 18.1% annual revenue growth, with a P/E of 9.25. The coordinated insider purchasing activity against a backdrop of significant stock price weakness relative to the 52-week range and the company's strong financial performance presents a material signal for investors to monitor, though the timing and intent of the cluster cannot be inferred from the filing alone.
