[Form 4] Quest Diagnostics Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On 07/21/2025, Quest Diagnostics Inc. (DGX) executive Mark E. Delaney, SVP & Chief Commercial Officer, reported acquiring 17 common shares at $167.491 each through a dividend reinvestment plan, a transaction eligible for deferred Form 5 reporting but voluntarily disclosed early on this Form 4. After the purchase, Delaney directly owns 7,515 DGX shares. No derivative securities were involved, and the filing indicates a routine, non-material change in insider ownership.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Minor DRIP purchase (17 shares) by DGX SVP; negligible ownership change, neutral signal, no impact on valuation.

The transaction represents less than 0.01% of Quest Diagnostics’ outstanding shares and appears to stem from automatic dividend reinvestment rather than discretionary buying. While insider acquisitions can be a confidence indicator, the immaterial size and routine nature limit its relevance for investors. No derivatives or complex structures were disclosed, and total direct holdings now stand at 7,515 shares. Overall, I view the filing as administratively neutral with no actionable investment implications.
