Form 144 Notices
1
Proposed insider sale filed — Form 144 is a notice of intent, not a confirmed transaction. Actual sales are confirmed via Form 4.
Insider Transactions 13 · 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 13 filings in this group are Form 4s for Valvoline Inc.

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 13 insider filings shown, the breakdown is 10 compensation award, 1 option exercise, 1 open-market purchase and 1 open-market sale. 2 of them involved a discretionary open-market trade; the rest are compensation and administrative mechanics.

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.
Open-market purchase ×1
The insider bought shares on the open market with their own money. This is the only Form 4 category that requires a discretionary cash outlay at the prevailing price.
Open-market sale ×1
The insider sold shares on the open market. Sales may be discretionary or executed automatically under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, and a Form 4 does not always make clear which applies.

Proposed Insider Sales 1 · Form 144

A Form 144 is a notice of intent to sell restricted or control securities. It is not a record that anything was sold. Valvoline Inc. has 1 such notice in this period.

The distinction matters because a Form 144 is frequently reported as though it were a completed insider sale. The filer may sell all of the shares covered, some of them, or none at all, and there is no obligation to update the notice either way. A sale that is actually executed by an officer or director shows up separately on a Form 4, which is the filing to check before treating a proposed sale as a real one.

Form 144 Proposed Insider Sale 2026-08-21

VVV Form 144 filed for proposed insider sale by O'Daniel Julie Marie (3,700 shares) ~$125.1K

O'Daniel Julie Marie filed a Form 144 with the SEC indicating intent to sell VVV (VALVOLINE INC) shares. Form 144 reflects a proposed sale, not a completed transaction. The actual execution, if any, would typically appear later in a Form 4.

Material Events 5 · Form 8-K

An 8-K reports a material event in the window between scheduled reports. There are 5 in this period for Valvoline Inc. 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 1 · Forms 10-K and 10-Q

The periodic reports are where the audited and reviewed financial statements live. This period contains 1 quarterly report (10-Q) for Valvoline Inc.

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.

Form 10-Q Quarterly Report 2026-08-05

VVV filed Quarterly Report (10-Q)

VALVOLINE INC filed its quarterly report with the SEC. This report includes unaudited financial statements and management discussion for the quarter.

How we classify Valvoline Inc.'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 VVV. Read these alongside the fundamentals rather than in isolation.
