[Form 4/A] Comstock Resources, Inc. Amended Insider Trading Activity
Comstock Resources, Inc. (CRK) – Amended Form 4 filing (4/A) reports a routine equity award to outside director Elizabeth B. Davis.
The amendment clarifies that on 06/03/2025 Ms. Davis received 8,396 shares of restricted common stock at a cost basis of $0.00. The grant, coded “A(1),” reflects a stock-based compensation award that vests after one year of service. Following the transaction her total direct beneficial ownership rises to 118,753 shares. The filing also notes that the share balance was corrected from the original Form 4 filed 06/04/2025; no other changes were made and no derivative securities were involved.
Because the shares were awarded rather than purchased on the open market, there is no immediate cash outlay and the transaction does not signal a valuation view. However, the additional equity modestly strengthens director-level alignment with common shareholders. The quantity represents a minor percentage of CRK’s 288 million shares outstanding and is unlikely to affect supply-demand dynamics or valuation multiples.
No insider sales, option exercises, or 10b5-1 plan activity were reported, and there is no impact on earnings, liquidity, or capital structure. Overall, the Form 4/A is an administrative update with limited market significance, but it confirms proper Section 16 reporting and clarifies the director’s actual ownership position.
- None.
- None.
Insights
TL;DR: Administrative amendment; director granted 8,396 restricted shares, ownership now 118,753; no strategic or valuation signal.
The filing simply corrects and restates Ms. Davis’s June 3 grant, satisfying Section 16 accuracy requirements. Grants that vest in one year are standard board compensation, so corporate-governance risk is minimal. The clarification enhances disclosure integrity, but the share count is immaterial to float (<0.01%). Investors should not expect board influence on capital allocation or policy from this small incremental stake.
TL;DR: Insignificant ownership change; does not alter CRK investment thesis or trading outlook.
From a portfolio standpoint, the 8.4k-share award adds roughly $100k in paper value (assuming ~$12 CRK price) to the director’s skin in the game, but provides no buy-signal because it is compensation, not discretionary purchase. The corrected 118.8k total holdings still equal less than 0.05% of insider holdings. Liquidity, EPS, leverage and macro gas-price drivers remain the determinants of CRK performance; this filing is not impactful.
