Why Focus on Top Insider Buys?
Insiders sell for many reasons—taxes, diversification, or personal expenses. However, they buy for only one reason: they believe the stock price will rise. By tracking the largest purchases from the last 7 days, we filter out small, routine acquisitions and focus on top insider buys that represent significant personal financial risk and high conviction from corporate leadership.
Identifying Market Value
Our Top Insider Buys feed provides a real-time snapshot of where institutional-level money is flowing within the corporate world. Large-scale purchases by Directors or CEOs often precede positive earnings reports or strategic shifts. Using this data, investors can identify which sectors and companies are seeing the strongest internal support before the broader market reacts.
UNDERSTANDING THE DATA
FILING DATE: The date and time when the transaction was reported to the SEC. This is when the public first receives the information.
TRADE DATE: The actual day the insider executed the purchase or sale in the market.
INDUSTRY: The specific market sector the company operates in. Useful for identifying broader institutional capital flows across sectors.
OWNED AFTER: The total number of shares held by the insider following the transaction. This highlights the insider's remaining conviction in the company.
CHANGE %: The percentage increase or decrease of the insider's total position. Large percentage changes often carry more weight than the dollar amount alone.
TRADE TYPES DEFINITIONS
BUY: An open market purchase. Typically indicates an insider's belief that the stock is undervalued or poised for growth.
SELL: An open market sale. While often used for diversification or liquidity, large or unexpected sales can be a warning signal.
OPT+S (OPTION EXERCISE & SALE): This occurs when an insider exercises their stock options and sells them immediately. Often part of a structured compensation plan.
