<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>The Insider's Guide to Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Taking a closer look at transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, meticulously cataloged in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A signifies a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Top 3 Energy Stocks Which Could Rescue Your Portfolio This Quarter

The U.S. shale sector is capable of ramping up&nbsp;oil production even if prices&nbsp;fall to $50 per barrel, according to&nbsp;U.S. Energy Secretary, Chris Wright.&nbsp;
What Happened: Wright, formerly the CEO of Liberty Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LBRT#NYSE">LBRT</a>), is optimistic about the sector&#8217;s potential to innovate and achieve efficiency gains, thereby enabling higher production at lower prices, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6b7f0af8-6c59-44bb-b07a-43d4768b96fd?">reported</a> The Financial Times. 
He said that they were going to see the same kind of market dynamics at that time. He explained that new supply would drive prices down, companies would innovate and lower their prices, and consumers and suppliers would fluctuate between options.
the U.S. shale sector is well-positioned to fulfill Donald Trump's call to &#8220;drill, baby, drill,&#8221; he added.
However, he anticipates an industry disruption similar to the 2014 price war between OPEC producers and the shale industry. "There were a lot of bankruptcies. There was a lot of disruption, but the end result was far lower costs to produce a barrel of oil," Wright told the publication.
A lot of U.S. oil executives are likely to disagree with Wright&#8217;s remarks amid fear that lower oil prices could reduce profits and force cutbacks in drilling activity, despite President Trump&#8217;s push for increased production.

Why It Matters: This statement comes after a sharp decline in oil prices, with Brent crude dropping below $70 last week for only the third time since Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The recent decline in oil prices has been influenced by several factors, including trade policies and OPEC+ production increases.
In March 2025, West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices fell 6% to reach multi-year lows. President Trump&#8217;s 25% tariff on energy imports from Canada and Mexico disrupted trade flows and raised <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44168987/oil-prices-hit-multi-year-lows">concerns about slower </a>global growth and reduced energy demand.
Award-winning energy historian, Daniel Yergin told the Financial Times, "at $50 a barrel the economics of shale don't work.&#8221; 
Furthermore, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) warned that a proposed 10% U.S. oil tariff could lead to a $10 billion annual loss for foreign producers, posing a significant threat to Canadian and Latin American <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/02/43900287/trumps-10-oil-tariff-could-deal-10-billion-annual-blow-to-canada-and-other-foreign-producers-goldman-sachs-warns">heavy crude suppliers</a> that depend on U.S. refiners. 
Noble Corporation plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NE#NYSE">NE</a>) plunged over 22% during the last 30 days to close at $24.71 on Friday, while Western Midstream Partners (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WES#NYSE">WES</a>) declined 4.07% during the same period.
