Ingredion Inc (INGR), a global provider of ingredient solutions, has recently seen significant stock activity from its Director, President, and CEO, James P. Zallie. On August 12, 2025, Zallie engaged in a series of transactions, including the purchase and sale of common stock. These transactions reflect a substantial level of activity in the company's stock by its top executive.

According to a Form 4 filing submitted by Ingredion Inc to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Zallie purchased 96,316 shares at a price of $91.85 per share and sold 81,634 shares at $126.46 per share, 128,522 shares at $88.35 per share, 106,917 shares at $126.54 per share, and 36,287 shares at $126.52 per share [1].

The transactions indicate that Zallie exercised employee stock options, which is a common practice among executives to benefit from the company's stock performance. The Form 4 filing also notes that applicable taxes were withheld from the transactions, with 11,677.519 shares and 17,183.160 shares being withheld for tax purposes from the reported transactions [1].

These transactions come amid Ingredion Inc's recent financial performance. The company's Form 10-Q report for the second quarter of 2025 revealed a net sales decrease of 2% from the previous year, primarily due to lower raw material costs and reduced volume in the Food & Industrial Ingredients (F&II) segments. However, the company's gross profit margin improved to 26% from 24%, driven by lower raw material and input costs [2].

The stock market reaction to Zallie's transactions is yet to be determined, as investors typically look at the overall financial health and strategic direction of the company. However, these transactions highlight the active participation of Ingredion Inc's top executive in the company's stock, which can influence investor sentiment.
