The period balance: money in, money out
In the Form 4 filings submitted between Aug 26, 2025 and Aug 20, 2026 there is not one open-market purchase of Chevron Corporation: 40 sales worth $696.8M and zero dollars bought.
Only codes P and S count, where an insider puts in or takes out their own money. A selling balance like Chevron Corporation's is the norm in the S&P 500, where much of the pay comes as stock. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell: it is what was filed.

Who has traded
Over the 15 months of history, 20 distinct people or entities have filed Chevron Corporation transactions: none bought on the open market and 9 sold. Counted by CIK, the fixed number the SEC gives each filer, and not by name, which each filer types their own way.
Of the 9 who sold on the open market (40 sales in all), the three biggest sellers account for $620.4M of the $696.8M: 89% of the money in three people.

How to read this data
10 of the 20 sales in the table are flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan): signed months ahead and executed automatically, so they say nothing about what the insider thinks today. Chevron has no open-market purchase (code P) in the history, the most common case in the S&P 500: insiders are already paid in stock. The latest filing is from Aug 20, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.
20 of the 20 rows in the table carry footnotes from the Form 4 itself, folded into the code column and copied verbatim; a row with no footnote means the filing has none.
