Murphy USA's President & CEO Malynda K West sold 4,051 shares worth approximately $1.7 million on January 7 through a net exercise of stock options. The transaction was executed under a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted in August, indicating administrative rather than opportunistic timing. Despite the sale reducing direct holdings to 117,388 shares, West maintains a substantial $50 million stake. The company continues to demonstrate strong operational performance with robust cash flow, merchandise growth, and aggressive capital returns through stock buybacks and dividend increases.
