EOGEOG Resources · Insider ownership research

EOG Resources insiders sold $10.8M in the past 12 months. How much of their stake is that?

About 6.5% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. The biggest individual seller, Ezra Yacob, sold shares equal to 14% of starting holdings, but more vested, so the stake grew.

"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Sep 15, 20265 executives had 22K shares ($3.3M) withheld by the company for taxes (not a market sale). That is between 2.0% and 6.5% of each person's total stake held that day.

What stands out

Two officers sold $6.6M with no disclosed plan: Ezra Yacob ($5.5M, 14% of holdings) and Michael Donaldson ($1.1M, 4.4%). The filings don't state a reason.Ezra Yacob: largest such sale, Aug 24, 2026 · Michael Donaldson: largest such sale, Sep 11, 2026
Jeffrey Leitzell sold 40% of vested holdings: 23K shares for $3.1M, 72% under a disclosed plan.Largest sale, Sep 25, 2026
Selling picked up in the last 90 days: officers and directors sold 52K shares, against an average of 7.2K per 90 days earlier in the period. Most of it was Ezra Yacob (36K shares in the last 90 days, 14% of holdings) and Jeffrey Leitzell (9K shares in the last 90 days, 16% of holdings); 16% of these sales were under disclosed plans.Ezra Yacob: largest recent sale, Aug 24, 2026 · Jeffrey Leitzell: largest recent sale, Sep 25, 2026

Percentages cover 13 of 14 officers and directors. Left out: John Chandler (held no vested shares at the start). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is 100% of that person's own stake; not comparable between people. The stake is the vested shares held at the start of the period (Oct 9, 2025); the gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the EOG Resources CEO selling stock?

Yes. Ezra Yacob sold 36K shares ($5.5M, 14% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, none of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are EOG Resources insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 20% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 80% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any EOG Resources insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did EOG Resources insiders sell?

About 6.5% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. The biggest individual seller, Ezra Yacob, sold shares equal to 14% of starting holdings, but more vested, so the stake grew. That covers the 12 months to Oct 9, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

14 of 14 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (13 exactly, 1 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 13 of 14 officers and directors. Left out: John Chandler (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$10.8M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $10.8M across 74,434 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($8.6M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $8.6M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $5.5M of it is Ezra Yacob. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Ezra Yacob, Aug 24, 2026

Taxes

55,670 shares ($7.7M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Charitable gifts · 10K shares

Gifts the filings describe as charitable. Gifts are not sales and are not included in the sale totals.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Known gaps and uncertaintyEvery officer and director reconciles

Every officer and director reconciles for this period.

Jeffrey Leitzell: minor difference of 7 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Inferred rename: "Custodial Account (KRT)" is treated as the same holder as "Child (KRT)", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (3,000 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "401(k) Plan" is treated as the same holder as "EOG 401(k) Plan", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (30,078 shares). Old name, new name

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology2,655 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 2,655 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for EOG Resources (SEC CIK 821189) from Sep 12, 2002 to Sep 29, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 59 older filings exist only on paper and could not be read.

Probable 2-for-1 stock split on or before Mar 7, 2005 (first filing that shows post-split balances). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 15 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.

Probable 2-for-1 stock split on or before Mar 31, 2014 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 22 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
