Schickling David R

Schickling David R, Vice President of Water Operations, has engaged in 34 reported transactions involving American States Water Company (AWR) since mid-2025, demonstrating a net buying bias with $100,794 in total purchases against $80,985 in sales. His activity primarily consists of smaller, recurring transactions rather than concentrated moves, with the most notable purchases occurring on March 12-13, 2026, when he acquired shares worth $46,921 (twice) and executed multiple smaller purchases totaling $31,126 on March 13 alone. The transactions appear structured, with several same-day filings at identical dollar amounts—such as the paired $6,063 and $19,322 purchases on March 13—suggesting systematic acquisition through planned programs or dividend reinvestment. Selling activity has been minimal and intermittent, with the last disposition occurring on August 12, 2025, for $1,995. The majority of Schickling’s transactions are coded as derivative or equity awards (Codes A, D, F), including grants on June 3, 2025 ($648–$683) and September 3, 2025 ($707). While his recent filings show no sales since mid-2026, the pattern reflects a steady accumulation of AWR shares, with awards and purchases outweighing dispositions by nearly $20,000 overall. The consistency across filings—particularly the mirrored transaction values—indicates adherence to predetermined trading plans rather than discretionary market timing.
