Hastings Jonathan J, Senior Vice President at Minerals Technologies Inc. (MTX), has demonstrated a clear selling bias in recent years, with $4.98 million in total sales against $2.68 million in purchases across 33 reported transactions. The activity has been exclusively concentrated in MTX shares, with no trades in other securities. Recent filings show a pattern of consistent option exercises (code M) and sales (code S) in 2024, followed by a shift to smaller, more frequent transactions coded as gifts or other dispositions (code F) in 2025 and 2026. The most significant disposals occurred in mid-2024, including a $1.82 million sale on June 18 alongside option exercises worth $1.21 million, followed by additional sales totaling $1.36 million earlier that month.
More recently, Hastings' transactions have involved smaller dispositions, typically under $100,000, with five filings between January 2025 and January 2026 showing gifts or other transfers ranging from $88,200 to $107,801. Notably, there have been no open market purchases since at least 2024, and the last recorded buy activity appears to predate the current dataset. The shift from large-scale sales in 2024 to smaller, periodic dispositions suggests either a change in liquidity needs or a structured divestment approach. All transactions were executed under Rule 10b5-1 plans, indicating prearranged trading schedules.
