89 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.

Valuation

Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.

Seeded from HWC's reported EPS growth of 2.2% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$6.52
Implied price
$71.69
Return from $78.92
-1.9% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $35.64 -54.8% below today's price.

How sensitive is that answer?

Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.

growth \ P/E79111315
-7.8%-19.2%-15.0%-11.5%-8.5%-5.8%
-2.8%-14.8%-10.4%-6.7%-3.5%-0.7%

7.2%-6.0%-1.2%2.9%6.4%9.5%
12.2%-1.6%3.5%7.7%11.4%14.6%

This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.
