OEC Orion S.A. Insider Trading

CEO Painter Corning F. buys 20,000 shares of OEC at $11.08; stock now -57.1% from 52-week high of $25.95

CEO Painter Corning F. purchased 20,000 shares at $11.08 on 2025-05-13, increasing holdings to 1.08M shares. This buy occurs amid significant weakness: OEC is trading -57.1% below its 52-week high of $25.95 and down -21.4% over the past 90 days. Notably, the insider's prior four trades at OEC show poor timing, with only 1 of 4 prior buys well-timed at the 90-day mark; the three most recent OEC purchases (all in August 2024 and earlier) yielded 90-day returns of -0.6%, -11.5%, and -14.9%. The insider's broader cross-ticker track record is similarly weak: 4 prior buys averaged -3.7% over 30 days and -4.8% over 90 days, with a 25% win rate. Fundamentals remain challenged with flat annual revenue growth (-0.9%) and net income of $9.1M on $477.7M revenue, alongside a P/E of 23.70. This purchase lacks a pattern of well-timed accumulation at this ticker.

Sr. VP Global Operations buys 3,300 shares of OEC at $13.07; stock down 50.9% from 52-week high, trading near 52-week low of $12.74.

Quinones Carlos (Sr. VP Global Operations) purchased 3,300 shares at $13.07 on 2025-03-12, increasing holdings by 4.3% to 79,702 shares. The transaction occurs as the stock trades at $12.74—just 0.3 points above its 52-week low of $12.74 and 50.9% below its 52-week high of $25.95. The company reported $-20.2M net income despite $463.4M in quarterly revenue and negative annual revenue growth of -0.9%, signaling operational pressure. Notably, his sole prior purchase at this ticker (2024-06-10) delivered a 90-day return of -29.6%, and his cross-ticker track record shows 0% win rate on buys across all holdings with an average 90-day return of -29.6%, indicating a consistent pattern of buying at points that subsequently decline further.

CEO Painter Corning F. buys 10,000 shares at $17.69 as stock slides -36.1% from 52-week high.

Painter Corning F., the Chief Executive Officer, purchased 10,000 shares at $17.69 on 2024-08-22, increasing his holdings to 958.8K shares. This open-market purchase comes as Orion S.A. (OEC) trades at $18.10, down -36.1% from its 52-week high and -26.2% over the past 90 days. The CEO's prior buy at this ticker on 2024-08-07 was made at prices unavailable for outcome measurement, making direct comparison difficult; however, his cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior buys averaging +7.9% return over 90 days with a 100% win rate. The company's fundamentals show a 4.3% net profit margin ($20.5M net income on $477.0M revenue) with annual revenue declining -6.8% year-over-year, and the stock trades at a P/E of 13.51. The significance of this transaction lies in timing: the CEO is accumulating equity after a substantial drawdown, with measurable success in prior open-market buys, though the same-ticker purchase history is too recent to determine if this price level represents value or a potential trend reversal.

Director Dan F Smith bought 2,500 shares of OEC at $18.53 on 2024-08-09; cluster buy with 2 other insiders in 14 days

Director Dan F Smith purchased 2,500 shares at $18.53, increasing holdings by 3.3% to 78,772 shares post-transaction. This buy occurs within a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also purchased shares within the past 14 days. The timing is notable given current price headwinds—the stock trades at $17.87, down 20.3% over 30 days and 29.8% over 90 days from recent levels. The company shows mixed fundamentals with $477.0M quarterly revenue but annual revenue growth declining 6.8% year-over-year and net income of $20.5M, yielding a P/E of 13.34. The convergence of multiple insider purchases during a period of significant price weakness, combined with the stock trading 36.9% below its 52-week high of $28.31, warrants examination of management's assessment of intrinsic value relative to current market pricing.
