<h3>Uncovering the Importance of Insider Activity</h3>
It's important to note that insider transactions alone should not dictate investment decisions, but they can provide valuable insights.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Navigating the World of Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
Examining transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often concentrate on those unfolding in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Stepan Insider Trades Send A Signal

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Stepan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCL#NYSE">SCL</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Tuesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 37.5 cents per share. On Thursday, Stepan will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 37.5 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Thursday. Shareholders who own SCL as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 37.5 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on March 15, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

Stepan Earnings Preview

Stepan Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scl#NYSE">SCL</a>) is expected to release earnings results for its fourth quarter, before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SCL/earnings">opening bell on Feb. 20, 2024.</a>
Analysts expect the Northbrook, Illinois-based company to report quarterly earnings at 37 cents per share, down from year-ago earnings of 59 cents per share. Stepan is projected to post revenue of $534.53 billion for the latest quarter, compared to $627.18 million in the year-earlier quarter, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Stepan recently announced the appointment of Susan M. Lewis as a director, effective on Feb. 15.
During October, the company reported a third-quarter FY23 sales decrease of 22% year-on-year, to $562.226 million, missing the analyst consensus of $603.72 million owing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/23/10/35306559/stepan-company-q3-earnings-miss-lower-sales-volume-dividend-hike-more">lower selling prices</a>.
With the recent buzz around Stepan, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company&rsquo;s dividends. As of now, Stepan has a dividend yield of 1.68%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 37.50 cents a share ($1.50 a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Stepan dividends, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Stepan&rsquo;s $1.50 dividend: $6,000 / $1.50 = 4,000 shares
So, an investor would need to own approximately $373,400 worth of Stepan, or 4,000 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $1.50 = 800 shares, or $74,680 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.

Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
SCL Price Action: Shares of Stepan gained 4.4% to close at $93.35 on Thursday.
