Details

Common questions

Is the PBF Energy Inc. CEO selling stock?

Yes. Matthew Lucey sold 368K shares ($26.7M) in the past 12 months, none of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are PBF Energy Inc. insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 0% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 100% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any PBF Energy Inc. insiders buying?

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

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 uncertainty19 officers and directors not confirmed

Holdings and share of stake are being verified. Balances, unit counts and every share-of-stake figure for PBF Energy Inc. are held back until that check is finished. Sales, proceeds, plan and tax status, titles and dates come straight from individual filings and are complete.

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

Sources and methodology721 filings on record, 117 filed in the 12-month period, and how we read them

All 721 Forms 3, 4 and 5 on record for PBF Energy Inc. (SEC CIK 1534504), filed from Dec 13, 2012 to Oct 7, 2026; 117 of them were filed in the 12 months this page covers, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 13, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 7 filings were left out because PBF Energy Inc. filed them as an owner of another company's stock.

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".
