Leon Francisco, CRC's President and CEO, purchased 5,425 shares at $47.71, a price that sits -19.9% from the 52-week high and -4.2% below the 30-day average. The stock trades at a P/E of 10.39 with strong fundamentals: $855.0M in latest quarterly revenue, $64.0M net income, and +14.2% annual revenue growth. However, Francisco's trading history at CRC shows a consistent pattern of well-timed sells—his three prior transactions in 2024 were all well-timed at the 90-day mark, with post-transaction returns ranging from -3.5% to -6.8% over 90 days. This buy transaction occurs after that string of sales, breaking the sell pattern observed over the prior year. The modest increase of 1.8% to his holdings (from 299,409 to 304,834 shares) following extended selling activity warrants investor attention to understand the change in his transaction profile.
