Leitzell Jeffrey R., the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of EOG Resources (EOG), has filed 43 Form 4 transactions over the past year, all in a single company. The pattern is overwhelmingly one of disposition: his total open-market sales reached approximately $6.07 million, while his only open-market purchase was a nominal $754.80. The remaining activity consists of routine compensation mechanics—equity awards (code A), option exercises (code M), and shares withheld for taxes (code F)—none of which reflect discretionary buying.
The recent trading direction reinforces the sell bias. In the first quarter of 2026 alone, Leitzell executed two open-market sales on March 2 and March 3, totaling roughly $484,535, followed by a much larger sale of $856,523 on March 31. That same day, he also exercised options worth $520,475 and $323,481, with corresponding shares surrendered to cover tax obligations. A subsequent sale-back to the issuer (code D) of $520,475 on March 31 and another of $1.41 on April 30 further reduced his holdings. The April 30 award of $615.56 in stock (code A) is negligible relative to the cash flows out.
Notably, there are no recent open-market purchases—the last seven trades are all sales, tax withholdings, option exercises, or issuer redemptions. The largest single transaction was the March 31 sale of $856,523, which dwarfs the earlier $260,000 and $224,535 sales from early March. Over the trailing twelve months, Leitzell’s selling has been steady and recurring, with quarterly sales of roughly $211,000 to $260,000 in late 2025 and early 2026, punctuated by the much larger March 2026 liquidation. The data show a consistent reduction in his EOG stake, driven by open-market sales and option-related dispositions, with no corresponding accumulation.
