No officer or director trades were reported for the past 30 days. The most recent before that:

Sep 3, 2026Joe Perkins gave away 8.4K shares as a gift. That is 5.2% of the total stake held that day.

"% 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.

Is this normal? Less than usual: about a third of the 5-year average. 10 insiders sold; the average is 10 a year. Year by year

What stands out

Scott Pryor sold 50% of vested holdings: 38K shares for $7.5M, none under a disclosed plan.Largest sale, Nov 14, 2025
Four insiders sold $24.2M with no disclosed plan: Patrick McDonie ($7.5M, 10% of holdings), Jennifer Kneale ($6.8M, 13%) and Robert Muraro ($5.9M, 12%), plus 1 more. The filings don't state a reason.Patrick McDonie: largest such sale, Mar 2, 2026 · Jennifer Kneale: largest such sale, Feb 24, 2026 · Robert Muraro: largest such sale, Mar 5, 2026
Four insiders sold shares but ended with larger stakes, because more shares came in than were sold: Jennifer Kneale (sold 30K, 13% of starting holdings; 63K added), Robert Muraro (sold 25K, 12% of starting holdings; 63K added) and Gerald Shrader (sold 2.8K, 8.5% of starting holdings; 6.7K added), plus 1 more.Jennifer Kneale: largest sale, Feb 24, 2026 · Robert Muraro: largest sale, Mar 5, 2026 · Gerald Shrader: largest sale, Dec 5, 2025

Percentages cover 19 of 21 officers and directors. Left out: Joe Perkins (most holdings were last confirmed in 2011); Thomas Mathiasmeier (held no vested shares at the start). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Common questions

Is the Targa Resources CEO selling stock?

No. Matthew Meloy reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are Targa Resources 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 Targa Resources insiders buying?

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

How much of their stake did Targa Resources insiders sell?

About 4.9% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. The biggest individual seller, Patrick McDonie, gave up 10% of starting holdings. That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

21 of 21 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (20 exactly, 1 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 19 of 21 officers and directors. Left out: Joe Perkins (most holdings were last confirmed in 2011); Thomas Mathiasmeier (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$34.3M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $34.3M across 148,755 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

No plan disclosed · $34.3M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $7.5M of it is Patrick McDonie. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Patrick McDonie, Mar 2, 2026

Taxes

162,958 shares ($30.7M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

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.

Benjamin Branstetter: minor difference of 3 shares. Difference is stated in footnotes (unreported vesting, exempt acquisition or transfer).

Inferred rename: "McParland Family Trust" is treated as the same holder as "Sarah McParland Family Trust", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (372,634 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "wife, through Willie Lump Lump and His Sisters" is treated as the same holder as "wife, through MBE Management, LLC", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (27,000 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 methodology829 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 829 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Targa Resources (SEC CIK 1389170) from Dec 6, 2010 to Sep 8, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 9 filings were left out because Targa Resources 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".
