Benton Patrick M.

Benton Patrick M., president of UFP Construction, has filed 37 Form 4 transactions over roughly two years, all in UFP Industries (UFPI). The pattern is heavily skewed toward compensation and automatic events rather than discretionary market moves. Across all filings, he recorded no open-market purchases and three open-market sales totaling approximately $2.82 million, with the largest single sale of $1.43 million occurring on March 3, 2025. A second pair of sales on June 13, 2024, brought in roughly $1.39 million combined. His total sell value across all codes reached $4.22 million, while acquired value—mostly grants and option exercises—totaled $3.35 million. The most recent activity, however, shows no selling at all. Since the March 2025 sale, Benton’s filings consist exclusively of grants (code A), option exercises (code M), and shares returned to the issuer (code D) to cover exercise costs. In February 2026 alone, he received awards valued at roughly $842,000, and a single grant on February 27, 2026, was worth $205,623. The last open-market sale was over a year ago, and the most recent transaction, on April 1, 2026, was a small option exercise paired with a $14,309 disposition back to the company. That stands in contrast to a March 8, 2024 disposition of $1.36 million, which was also a return-to-issuer event. The overall direction is neutral-to-accretive: Benton has not bought shares outright, but his selling has tapered off completely in the last twelve months. His activity is dominated by recurring equity grants and the mechanical exercise of options, with no recent indication of a bearish stance. The absence of open-market purchases means there is no conviction-buy signal, but the halt in sales suggests a shift away from monetizing his position.
