Florence John M, Vice President, General Counsel, Secretary, and CHRO, has demonstrated a clear buy-heavy trading pattern in Sonoco Products Co. (SON) over the past year, with $4.35 million in total acquisitions compared to $915,780 in sales. The transactions, primarily automatic (code "A") or tax-related (code "F"), show consistent accumulation through periodic purchases, including a notable $517,694 acquisition on February 19, 2026, followed by a $200,220 buy the same day. Smaller but repeated purchases—such as four transactions totaling $77,771 on March 10, 2026—suggest a disciplined, recurring investment approach rather than opportunistic trading.
While sales have occurred, they are sporadic and significantly smaller in value, such as a $52,781 disposition on February 21, 2026, likely tied to tax obligations or option exercises. The absence of recent sales and the sustained buying activity indicate a long-term holding bias. Florence’s transactions are concentrated solely in SON, reflecting confidence in the company without diversification across other equities. The pattern aligns with executive compensation structures, where equity awards and periodic acquisitions outweigh discretionary selling. No trades have been reported in recent months, leaving the current stance unchanged.
