Mark A. Nelson, Vice Chairman of Chevron (CVX), has demonstrated a clear selling bias in his recent insider transactions, with no open-market purchases recorded in the latest filings. His activity is concentrated exclusively in Chevron stock, with 32 reported transactions totaling $41.1 million in sales against $21.2 million in buys—a nearly 2:1 ratio favoring dispositions. The most significant transactions occurred on March 2, 2026, when Nelson sold $14.5 million and $11.8 million worth of CVX shares alongside smaller derivative transactions. Earlier that month, on February 2, he disposed of $4.8 million and $3.2 million in stock. These high-value sales contrast with smaller, sporadic acquisitions—primarily through awards and derivative transactions—such as a $236,108 disposition on January 31, 2026, and a $238,795 transaction in February 2025. The pattern suggests an ongoing reduction in Nelson’s Chevron holdings, with the most aggressive selling occurring in early 2026. While some transactions appear routine (such as tax-related sales or awards), the scale and timing of the March disposals indicate a deliberate shift in his position. No other securities are involved in Nelson’s recent filings, underscoring his exclusive focus on Chevron.
