Rowe Robert Scott

Rowe Robert Scott, President and CEO of Flowserve Corporation (FLS) and Quanta Services (PWR), has maintained a consistently one-sided insider trading profile across 66 SEC Form 4 filings, with zero open-market purchases and approximately $15 million in total sales. The most recent transactions, all dated December 2, 2025, show three open-market sales of FLS stock totaling roughly $14.99 million—$178,505.64, $6,702,746.97, and $8,108,079.22—representing the entirety of his sell-side activity in the trailing period. No corresponding buys appear in the data, underscoring a clear disposition bias. The pattern surrounding these sales is dominated by mechanical and compensatory events rather than discretionary trading. In the months leading up to the December sales, Scott received recurring FLS stock awards (coded "A") valued between roughly $4,400 and $6,600 monthly, alongside option exercises (coded "M") with zero reported value. Notably, on March 2, 2026, he exercised multiple FLS options and had shares withheld to cover taxes (coded "F") in amounts of $594,942.92 and $852,890.20, followed by a larger tax-withholding event on February 13, 2026, at $6,658,944.44. These transactions, while substantial in dollar terms, are automatic consequences of equity compensation rather than signals of market conviction. Across both FLS and PWR, Scott’s insider activity reflects a pattern of accumulation through grants and exercises, offset by periodic sales and tax-related withholdings. The absence of any open-market purchases (code "P") across all 66 filings, combined with the concentrated December 2025 sales, indicates a net seller posture. However, the recent 2026 filings show no new sales, only awards and exercises, suggesting the selling burst may have concluded. The data offers no evidence of opportunistic buying, leaving the overall trajectory firmly weighted toward distribution.
