MUR Filing Activity Snapshot 2026-04-01 — 2026-10-13
Insider Transactions (Form 4)
0 buys vs 0 sells
Insider buying and selling activity is balanced in this period.
Insider Transactions 11 · Forms 3, 4 and 5

A Form 4 is filed within two business days of a company insider — an officer, a director, or a holder of more than ten percent of the stock — changing their position in the shares. All 11 filings in this group are Form 4s for Murphy Oil Corporation.

The difficulty with reading these filings as a group is that a single form type covers transactions that mean entirely different things. An executive spending their own money to buy stock and an executive having shares withheld to pay tax on a vesting grant both appear as a Form 4. Every filing below is therefore tagged with the nature of the underlying transaction, taken from the transaction code reported on the form itself.

Across the 11 insider filings shown, the breakdown is 10 compensation award and 1 option exercise. None of the classified filings involved a discretionary open-market trade, so this period says nothing about what insiders think of the price.

What each transaction type means

Compensation award ×10
Shares were granted as compensation rather than purchased. No cash changed hands, so the filing reflects a pay decision by the company, not a judgement about the price.
Option exercise ×1
The insider converted options into shares. The exercise price was fixed when the options were granted, so the timing usually tracks an expiry schedule.

Material Events 7 · Form 8-K

An 8-K reports a material event in the window between scheduled reports. There are 7 in this period for Murphy Oil Corporation. Each 8-K names the item number it is filed under, and that number is the fastest way to tell a routine disclosure from a consequential one.

Item 2.02 is an earnings release, Item 5.02 is a change of directors or officers, and Item 1.01 or 2.01 covers a material agreement or a completed acquisition. Item 7.01 and Item 8.01 are the general-purpose disclosure items and carry no fixed meaning on their own.

Periodic Reports 2 · Forms 10-K and 10-Q

The periodic reports are where the audited and reviewed financial statements live. This period contains 2 quarterly reports (10-Q) for Murphy Oil Corporation.

The two are not equivalent in weight. A 10-K is audited by an external firm and includes the full risk factor disclosure, business description and management discussion; a 10-Q is unaudited, reviewed rather than examined, and much shorter. When a figure in a quarterly report is later revised, the annual report is usually where the correction appears.

An amended report — 10-K/A or 10-Q/A — restates or corrects something in the original filing, and is worth reading against the version it replaces.

How we classify Murphy Oil Corporation's filings

Straight from EDGAR

Each displayed record links to an original source document. StrongBuyAnalytics provides navigation and brief excerpts or summaries, not the filing itself. Parsing may omit context or contain errors, so read the original document in full.

Transaction codes, not guesswork

The nature shown on each insider filing comes from the transaction code the filer entered on the form itself — P for an open-market purchase, A for a compensation award, F for shares withheld to pay tax, M for an option exercise. Where one filing contains several codes, the transaction table lists them line by line.

Why the distinction matters

Insider activity is routinely summarised as buying or selling, which flattens together decisions that mean very different things. Shares withheld for tax on a vesting grant are an automatic administrative step; shares bought on the open market are someone committing their own money at the current price.

What this page does not tell you

A filing records what happened, not why. Form 4 does not always disclose whether a sale was executed under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan, and no single filing is a basis for a decision on MUR. Read these alongside the fundamentals rather than in isolation.
