CFO J Kevin Willis buys 10,000 VVV shares at $31.80; stock down 21.2% from 52-week high of $41.33

CFO J Kevin Willis purchased 10,000 shares at $31.80 on 2026-05-14, increasing his holdings from 22.7K to 32.7K shares. The current price of $32.57 is down 21.2% from the 52-week high, placing the purchase below recent peaks. Examining his same-ticker history at VVV, Willis has made 5 prior trades—primarily clusters of buys on 2025-08-14 and another buy on 2025-11-21—with mixed post-purchase outcomes: only 1 of 5 prior trades showed positive 90-day returns, indicating inconsistent timing success at this specific stock. The company reports net income of $44,800,000 on quarterly revenue of $503,800,000 with a P/E of 44.62, suggesting a valuation that may warrant investor scrutiny relative to earnings quality.

Director Freeland Richard Joseph buys 3.1K VVV shares at $32.37; stock down 21.2% from 52-week high at $32.57 current.

Director Freeland Richard Joseph purchased 3,100 shares of Valvoline at $32.37, increasing his holding from 13,012 to 16,112 shares. The transaction occurs with VVV trading 21.2% below its 52-week high of $41.33 and down 15.5% over the past 90 days, suggesting the purchase follows a material pullback in valuation. His cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior open-market buys with an average 30-day return of +26.1%, though prior trade outcomes at VVV are not yet measurable. The company carries elevated valuation metrics (P/E of 44.62) relative to modest fundamentals—$503.8M quarterly revenue and $44.8M net income with 5.6% annual revenue growth—creating tension between the insider's buying signal and the stock's recent price momentum.

VVV President & CEO Flees purchases 4,500 shares at $30.82, bringing holdings to 69,267 shares amid -22.2% pullback from 52-week high

Flees Lori Ann, the company's President & CEO, acquired 4,500 shares of Valvoline at $30.82 on 2025-11-24, increasing her holdings by 6.9% to 69,267 shares. The transaction occurred at a price 22.2% below the 52-week high and follows a 20.2% decline over the prior 90 days, providing context for the timing of the purchase. Looking at her same-ticker history at VVV, prior buys on 2025-05-27 and 2023-08-29 generated positive 90-day returns, suggesting the CEO has demonstrated timing accuracy on this stock before. Valvoline's fundamentals remain solid with $439.0M in latest quarterly revenue, $56.5M net income, and a P/E of 14.50, indicating the business is not in distress despite recent price weakness.

VVV CFO Kevin Willis buys 10,000 shares at $31.41; stock down 25.3% from 52-week high, holdings +78.6%

Kevin Willis, CFO of Valvoline, purchased 10,000 shares at $31.41 on 2025-11-21, increasing his holdings from 12.7K shares to 22.7K shares (+78.6%). The transaction occurs with VVV trading at $30.38 current price, down 25.3% from its 52-week high of $40.67 and down 9.9% over the prior 30 days. Willis's prior trading history at VVV shows five earlier buys conducted on 2025-08-14, all exhibiting similar outcomes: modest 30-day gains (+2.7% to +2.8%) followed by larger 90-day declines (-18.6% to -18.8%), with zero of those five prior buys proving well-timed at the 90-day mark. This current purchase follows the same recent pattern—recent 90-day performance across his prior VVV trades has been consistently negative. The stock's fundamental profile shows moderate growth (annual revenue growth +5.6%, P/E of 13.94, net income $56.5M on quarterly revenue of $439.0M), but the repeated pattern of insider buys followed by extended declines merits attention to whether operational headwinds or market dynamics have emerged since his prior August purchases.

CFO Kevin Willis purchases 12,725 shares of VVV for $501,505.85 at blended average of $39.41 on 2025-08-14

Kevin Willis, the Chief Financial Officer of Valvoline Inc, executed 5 separate purchases totaling 12,725 shares for $501,505.85 at a blended average price of $39.41 on 2025-08-14. This transaction establishes his initial shareholding (previously held 0 shares), representing a material entry position for the company's finance leader. The timing follows a 30-day period where VVV shares rose +9.9% and a 90-day period with +12.7% appreciation, yet the current price of $39.33 reflects the stock still trading -9.4% below its 52-week high of $43.41. In his cross-ticker track record across all prior sales, Willis demonstrates a 100.00% well-timed rate, indicating his prior sells consistently occurred before the stock declined, though this metric cannot predict performance of his first purchase at this ticker.

VVV President & CEO Flees buys 3,000 shares at $33.78; stock -28.8% from 52-week high.

Lori Ann Flees, President & CEO of Valvoline, purchased 3,000 shares at $33.78 on 2025-05-27, increasing her holdings to 46.6K shares. The transaction occurred as VVV trades -28.8% from its 52-week high of $47.60, suggesting a material pullback from recent peaks. Her prior two trades at this ticker (buys on 2024-11-27 and 2023-08-29) showed mixed timing outcomes: the more recent buy posted -8.2% over 30 days and -5.6% over 90 days, while the earlier buy returned -5.0% at 30 days but +3.1% at 90 days. Her cross-ticker track record across 2 prior buys at other companies averaged -6.6% at 30 days and -1.2% at 90 days with a 50% win rate, indicating inconsistent predictive value. Fundamentally, the company shows healthy metrics with FY revenue growth of +12.2%, a P/E of 16.15, and net income of $37.6M on $403.2M quarterly revenue; however, the stock's current -2.2% 30-day and -8.3% 90-day declines suggest near-term momentum headwinds that may warrant monitoring against broader market conditions.

CEO Flees buys 2,500 VVV shares at $39.64; holdings now 39,851 shares (+6.7%). Stock -17.1% from 52-week high.

Lori Ann Flees, President & CEO of Valvoline, purchased 2,500 shares at $39.64 on 2024-11-27, increasing her holdings to 39,851 shares. The company shows solid fundamentals with annual revenue growth of +12.2%, quarterly revenue of $421.4M, net income of $45.9M, and a P/E of 24.20. The purchase occurs with the stock trading at $39.44, down 17.1% from its 52-week high of $47.60 and down 2.3% over the past 30 days. His prior buy in VVV on 2023-08-29 achieved a +3.1% 90-day return, indicating historically successful entry timing at this security.

Director Charles M Sonsteby purchases 10,000 VVV shares at $39.50; holdings rise 60.8% to 26.4K shares

Director Charles M Sonsteby executed a $395.0K open-market purchase of 10,000 shares of Valvoline Inc at $39.50 on 2024-11-25, expanding his holdings by 60.8% from 16.4K to 26.4K shares. His prior buy at this ticker on 2023-11-14 produced a 90-day return of +14.5%, establishing a pattern of well-timed accumulation. However, the current trading environment presents headwinds: the stock is -18.5% from its 52-week high of $47.60 and has declined -6.5% over the past 30 days. The company shows solid fundamentals with $421.4M in quarterly revenue, 12.2% annual revenue growth, and a $5.0B market cap, though the P/E of 23.80 sits at an elevated valuation. This significant block purchase—a material increase in his personal stake—occurs against a backdrop of recent price weakness, warranting monitoring of whether this represents conviction in mean reversion or a reversal of the momentum that characterized his prior successful VVV trade.
