POPE MARIA M

POPE MARIA M, President and CEO, has demonstrated a clear net buying bias across their disclosed insider transactions, with $12.9 million in total purchases compared to $6.9 million in sales across two companies—primarily Portland General Electric (POR) and a nominal filing for Columbia Banking System (COLB). The activity is heavily concentrated in POR, where recent transactions show a mix of acquisitions and disposals. On February 13, 2026, Pope executed multiple purchases under codes F (tax withholding) and A (award), totaling over $5.6 million in value, including a single $3.2 million award. This follows a September 2025 sale of $803,080 worth of POR shares under code S (sale), alongside a smaller gift transaction (code G) valued at $129,582. Earlier in 2025, Pope acquired substantial POR shares, including a $2.6 million award on February 12. The pattern suggests Pope has been accumulating POR stock through awards and discretionary purchases while periodically liquidating portions, likely for tax or diversification purposes. The absence of recent buys—only one sale in the latest filings—could indicate a pause in accumulation, though the overall trend remains weighted toward ownership growth. Notably, the COLB filing in May 2024 carried no monetary value, making POR the focal point of Pope’s trading activity. The transactions, particularly the large February 2025–2026 awards, reflect a continued alignment with POR, with sales representing a minority of the total activity.
