[144] CarGurus, Inc. SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Church & Dwight (CHD) – Form 4 filing, 1 Aug 2025. EVP Chief Technology & Global New Products Carlos G. Linares reported the automatic acquisition of 27.338 phantom shares on 31 Jul 2025 at an imputed price of $93.77 each. The phantom stock was credited under the company’s Deferred Compensation Plan and will be settled in cash; no common shares were purchased on the open market. Following this routine accrual, Linares now holds 17,085.092 phantom units linked 1-for-1 to CHD common stock, all shown as directly owned.

The transaction is coded “A” (acquisition) and appears to reflect ongoing compensation deferral rather than an active investment decision. There are no dispositions, option exercises or open-market buys/sells disclosed in the filing, and no change to Linares’s ownership of non-derivative CHD shares was reported.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Small, routine phantom-stock accrual under deferred comp; negligible market impact.

The 27-share addition (≈$2.6k) is immaterial relative to CHD’s 242 m outstanding shares and the insider’s existing 17 k phantom units. Because phantom stock settles in cash, it does not contribute to share count dilution or signal direct equity conviction. The filing contains no insider sales and therefore offers no negative sentiment, but the scale is too small to be a positive indicator. Overall, it is a normal compensation deferral entry with neutral valuation implications.

Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR: Compensation-related credit; governance posture unchanged.

Deferred-compensation phantom stock aligns executive pay with share performance without issuing new equity. The mechanism is standard practice and does not affect voting power or trigger Rule 10b5-1 safe-harbor considerations. No red flags appear in timing or structure. Investors should view this as administrative, not a signal of insider sentiment.
