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.
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.
