Understanding Insider Transactions
While insider trading activity should not be the sole basis for investment decisions, it can offer valuable insights for investors.
Legally, an "insider" includes any executive, director, or major shareholder (holding over 10% of a company's shares) as defined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These individuals must report their trades via Form 4 within two business days of the transaction.
Insider purchases are often viewed as a sign of confidence in the company's future, while sales may occur for a variety of reasons and do not always indicate negative sentiment.
How to Interpret Insider Filing Codes
Investors often pay close attention to open market transactions, which are listed in Table I of Form 4 filings. The codes used include: P for purchases, S for sales, C for option conversions, and A for grants, awards, or other acquisitions from the company.
