Beckwith Van H.

Beckwith Van H., EVP, Secretary, and Chief Legal Officer at Halliburton (HAL), has demonstrated a clear pattern of stock accumulation followed by recent divestment, according to SEC Form 4 filings. Over 23 transactions since early 2024, Beckwith has acquired shares worth approximately $13.4 million while selling $7.7 million worth of stock—a net buying bias. The activity has been exclusively in HAL, with major awards (coded "A") totaling $5.96 million on February 27, 2024, and $2.11 million on March 3, 2025, supplemented by smaller discretionary purchases (coded "F"). However, the trend shifted decisively toward selling in 2026, with four disposals including a $1.9 million sale on January 23 and a $663,481 transaction on March 16. The transactions reveal a cyclical rhythm tied to equity awards, with large "A"-coded acquisitions typically occurring in Q1—$888,660 on January 2, 2024; $962,481 on January 2, 2025; and $1.04 million on January 2, 2026. These were often followed by partial sales, such as the $574,875 disposal on January 9, 2026. The most recent activity shows accelerated selling, with $3.18 million in shares sold year-to-date in 2026 compared to just $458,244 in purchases. While Beckwith retains significant holdings, the shift from accumulation to distribution—particularly the absence of buys in recent months—marks a notable change in trading behavior.
