HP CFO Vann J Kevin bought 3,300 shares at $30.19 on 2024-09-27; stock now -29.2% from 52-week high
Senior VP and CFO Vann J Kevin purchased 3,300 shares at $30.19, establishing an initial open-market position in Helmerich & Payne. The transaction occurred when HP traded near the lower-middle band of its 52-week range ($29.65–$44.61) and has since declined a further 3.2% over 30 days and 12.4% over 90 days, leaving the stock 29.2% below its 52-week high. Kevin's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with an average 90-day return of -2.2% and a 0.00% win rate, providing no evidence of timing acuity. While HP's fundamentals remain solid—revenue growth of +39.5%, P/E of 9.00, and net income of $88.7M on $697.7M revenue—the subsequent price weakness and the CFO's limited prior success in open-market equity purchases suggest investors should monitor whether additional insider activity materializes before drawing confidence from this single transaction.
