Patrick D. de Maynadier, EVP, General Counsel & Secretary at Church & Dwight (CHD), has demonstrated a clear selling bias in his recent insider transactions, with $11.47 million in total sales outweighing $6.86 million in purchases across 28 filings. His activity has been concentrated exclusively in CHD shares, with two notable bulk sales dominating the pattern: a $6.32 million disposition on March 10, 2025, preceded by a $4.95 million sale on March 5, 2024. Both transactions coincided with equity award exercises (coded "M") totaling $6.64 million, suggesting planned dispositions of vested shares. The executive's most recent activity in March 2026 shows smaller-scale acquisitions through automatic transactions (coded "A"), including a $134,095 purchase on March 2 and two $20,106 acquisitions on March 9, alongside routine dividend reinvestments (coded "F") typically under $15,000. This pattern indicates de Maynadier has systematically reduced his CHD position through prearranged sales while maintaining modest ongoing equity accumulation through compensation-related mechanisms. The absence of open-market purchases outside automatic plans since at least 2024 reinforces the predominantly divestment-oriented nature of his transactions in Church & Dwight stock.
