Solaris Energy Infrastructure (SEI) Director Makes $501,000 Open-Market Share Purchase Amid 146% Annual Gain

Board of Directors member A. James Teague and his spouse purchased 7,800 shares of Solaris Energy Infrastructure (NYSE: SEI) on September 8, 2026, according to a recent SEC Form 4 filing.

The transaction was executed at a weighted average price of $64.23 per share, bringing the total capital committed to approximately $501,000.

Teague acquired 3,900 shares directly while an additional 3,900 shares were purchased indirectly through his spouse, splitting the position evenly between the two structures.

Following the transaction, Teague holds 116,865 shares directly and 14,960 shares indirectly, placing the total post-transaction value at approximately $8.4 million based on the September 8 market close price of $63.96.

The 7,800 shares purchased represent approximately 6% of the total equity position Teague held prior to the SEC filing date.

The purchase was made during a period when SEI stock has delivered a 146% return over the 12 months ending September 8, 2026, a notable performance by any market standard.

Teague’s current direct holdings also include 3,075 shares of Class A common stock from previously granted restricted stock awards that remain subject to vesting conditions.

Collectively, insiders now hold approximately 0.22% of Solaris Energy Infrastructure’s outstanding equity following this latest transaction.

Solaris Energy Infrastructure engineers, manufactures, and delivers specialized equipment and systems designed for oil and natural gas exploration and production operations as well as data center power generation, producing revenue through equipment sales and complementary service offerings.

The Houston-based company serves major integrated oil and gas companies, independent exploration and production firms, oilfield service providers, and more recently, data centers operating across the United States, with a market capitalization of $4.0 billion.

The company reported trailing twelve-month revenue of $762.2 million and net income of $54.8 million, reflecting its vertically integrated model that combines proprietary manufacturing with technical support services.

One factor potentially driving Teague’s bullish move is Solaris’s expanding presence in the data center market, which management predicts could become the world’s fifth largest consumer of energy behind Japan by 2029.

Solaris is also projecting sharply accelerating adjusted EBITDA growth, with Q3 guidance set at a range of $110 million to $130 million before climbing to between $145 million and $180 million in Q4.

The company then expects adjusted EBITDA to jump to at least $200 million in the first quarter of 2027, which helps explain why an insider of Teague’s seniority is increasing exposure at current prices.

Open-market purchases by board members remain one of the more closely watched insider signals, as they represent voluntary capital commitment rather than compensation-related share grants or option exercises.
