Booth Thomas Ryder

Booth Thomas Ryder, Chief Technology & Engineering Officer at Chevron (CVX), has demonstrated a clear selling bias in recent transactions, with all five of his most recent trades involving disposals of CVX shares. Between February 11 and February 13, 2026, Ryder sold shares worth approximately $2.25 million, including a single transaction valued at $1.95 million on February 12. This follows another significant sale of $1.07 million on February 3, 2026, indicating a sustained reduction in his holdings. His total sell transactions amount to $3.95 million since July 2025, far outweighing his $1.85 million in purchases during the same period. Ryder’s activity has been concentrated exclusively in Chevron, with no trades in other companies. The transactions include a mix of open-market sales (code S) and dispositions due to the withholding of shares for tax obligations (code M). Notably, his largest sales occurred in early February 2026, with no offsetting purchases during this period. While some of the dispositions were routine (such as tax-related withholdings), the repeated open-market sales suggest a deliberate effort to reduce his stake in CVX. The absence of recent buys further reinforces this trend, marking a shift from earlier periods where acquisitions were more frequent.
