SM Energy CEO Vogel buys 1,000 shares at $21.32; stock -55.4% from 52-week high, P/E 3.18

Herbert S Vogel, as President & CEO, purchased 1,000 shares of SM Energy Co at $21.32 on 2025-05-06, adding to his holdings of 488.1K shares post-transaction. The purchase occurs at a significant discount to the company's 52-week high of $51.16, with the stock currently -55.4% below that peak. SM Energy's fundamentals show strong profitability: Revenue $844.5M, net income $182.3M, with annual revenue growth of +13.3% and a notably low P/E of 3.18. However, Vogel's prior trading history at SM shows mixed results: his three preceding open-market buys at this ticker each produced negative returns within 30 days (ranging from -10.1% to -9.4%), and the stock has declined -38.9% over the past 90 days despite a recent +12.0% 30-day recovery. The modest share count increase (0.2% vs pre-transaction holdings) suggests a limited open-market commitment relative to his existing position.
