Tulsa Wealth Advisors Invest Millions in Key Companies Amidst Bullish Forecasts and Insider Sales
Key Points
For Air Products (APD), Tulsa Wealth Advisors’ filing notes the stock is about 1.5% of its portfolio and the firm’s 20th-largest holding; it also details an APD insider sale by CFO Melissa N. Schaeffer of 2,714 shares at an average price of $303.76 (total about $824,404.64), a 16.03% reduction, leaving her with 14,212 shares valued at about $4,317,037.12.
For Comcast (CMCSA), the article specifies the dividend timetable: a quarterly dividend of $0.33 per share, with investors of record on July 1 and payment scheduled for Wednesday, July 22.
Dycom (DY) research updates included multiple, named target changes: Cantor Fitzgerald raised its price target from $436 to $654 and kept an “overweight” rating; Wedbush set a $654 target; Guggenheim increased its target from $575 to $620 with a “buy” rating; UBS restated a “buy” rating with a $611 target; and Zacks upgraded DY from “hold” to “strong-buy.”
For Dycom, additional trading/financial context was provided in the same reporting: DY opened at $456.23, and the company was described as having a current ratio of 2.58, quick ratio of 2.46, and debt-to-equity ratio of 1.48.
For ConocoPhillips (COP), the reporting adds specific insider-sale details: CEO Ryan Michael Lance sold 113,221 shares in a transaction dated Tuesday, March 31, at an average price of $132.71 (the article notes this as part of a reduction from his prior holdings).
Tulsa Wealth Advisors quietly entered four major stock positions in the fourth quarter, with its biggest move being an $4.66 million bet on Air Products and Chemicals (APD) — 18,862 shares that now rank as the firm's 20th-largest holding, according to Watchlist News. The Oklahoma-based wealth manager also picked up stakes in Comcast, ConocoPhillips, and Dycom Industries, spending a combined $6.59 million across the three names.
The buying spree comes with a catch: top executives at two of those same companies were selling. Air Products' CFO and ConocoPhillips' CEO both dumped large blocks of stock — even as institutional money like TWA's kept flowing in.
Dycom Industries Becomes Wall Street's New Favorite
Of the four new positions, Dycom (DY) drew the most analyst attention. Cantor Fitzgerald raised its price target from $436 to $654 and kept an "overweight" rating, according to Watchlist News. Wedbush set the same $654 ceiling. Guggenheim lifted its target from $575 to $620 with a "buy" rating, and UBS held firm at $611. Zacks went further, upgrading DY outright from "hold" to "strong buy."
The optimism follows a massive revenue beat. Dycom reported record fiscal Q1 2027 revenue of $1.96 billion — a 56% jump year over year — driven by the federal push for universal broadband. Shares surged 25% in a single day after the report. The stock opened at $456.23, and the company carries a current ratio of 2.58 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.48. Its backlog stands at $11.91 billion. Cantor analyst Manish Somaiya said "underlying demand" for fiber infrastructure is outstripping the industry's ability to build it.
APD and COP Insiders Cash Out While Institutions Buy In
Air Products CFO Melissa N. Schaeffer sold 2,714 shares on May 1 at an average price of $303.76 per share — a total of $824,404.64, according to Watchlist News. That cut her direct stake by 16.03%, leaving her with 14,212 shares worth roughly $4.32 million. At ConocoPhillips, CEO Ryan Michael Lance sold 113,221 shares on March 31 at $132.71 each, a transaction worth more than $15 million.
Neither sale wiped out the executives' skin in the game. Schaeffer still holds over $4 million in APD stock. Lance's family trust holds a 350,000-share stake. Still, the back-to-back selling from two C-suites — right as a regional advisor was buying in — creates what analysts call "divergent signaling." Institutional ownership at both companies sits above 81%, suggesting big money overall remains committed.
Comcast Dividend Anchors a Defensive Play for TWA
Tulsa Wealth Advisors bought 93,622 shares of Comcast (CMCSA) for roughly $2.80 million, according to Watchlist News. The position fits a clear strategy: Comcast pays a quarterly dividend of $0.33 per share. The record date is July 1, with payment scheduled for July 22. For a regional wealth manager navigating a volatile market, that steady payout acts as a cushion.
The firm also added 34,615 shares of ConocoPhillips for about $3.24 million. Together, the Comcast and ConocoPhillips positions reinforce a "return to dividends" theme — stable, income-generating assets that hold up when growth stocks stumble. Institutional ownership across all four TWA picks ranges from the low 80s to the high 90s percent, which means TWA is buying alongside — not against — the crowd.
Air Products' Green Hydrogen Bet Attracts Sticky Institutional Money
TWA's largest new position, the $4.66 million APD stake, reflects a longer-term thesis. Air Products is pivoting from its traditional industrial gas business toward green hydrogen — a shift that has drawn "sticky money" from institutions that plan to hold for years, not months. The stock was trading around $303 per share when TWA made its move, and the position now equals about 1.5% of the firm's total portfolio.
Institutional ownership in APD sits at 81.66%, according to Watchlist News. That high concentration of professional investors tends to reduce volatility but also means any shift in sentiment can move the stock fast. For now, the consensus leans bullish — even with the CFO's recent sale. ConocoPhillips also beat earnings estimates in Q2 2026, posting $1.89 EPS against a $1.72 consensus, adding a fundamental backbone to TWA's energy bet.
