Sm Energy Co
An independent oil and gas company, SM Energy drills and operates wells to extract crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, with operations across U.S. shale basins including the Permian, DJ Basin, and South Texas. It traces its roots to 1900, when investor Chester Congdon bought marshland in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana, that proved poor for farming; the venture became the St. Mary Parish Land Company in 1908 and later pivoted to energy. The name SM Energy came about in 2010, and the initials quietly nod to that swampy Louisiana origin story.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over all recorded history: -1.58M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
