Insider Buying Stocks — SEC Form 4 Insider Purchases

SEC Form 4 must generally be filed within two business days of a trade by a director, officer, or 10%+ shareholder. The form discloses the transaction code, share count, price, and resulting ownership. Market Census reads Form 4 filings straight from SEC EDGAR for the stocks it scores, re-checking each stock about every two days (ETFs about monthly), so a new filing usually reaches our data within two to three days of appearing on EDGAR. This page shows only the ten purchases with the newest trade dates, so most filings never appear here. Only non-derivative transactions (shares, not options) are read, and an amended filing (4/A) replaces the original filing it restates. This page is not a complete record of insider trading.

This page shows only transaction code P (a purchase on the open market or in a private sale) with a positive share count. Sales (S), grants and awards (A), option exercises (M), gifts (G) and shares withheld for tax (F) are left out. A purchase differs from compensation because the insider spent their own money, but the filing does not say why they bought, and this page makes no claim about what the stock does next.

The date in each row is the trade date reported on the filing. The rows behind this page do not carry the filing date, so it cannot show the gap between the two. Each row links to the ticker’s page. The Form 4 list in the app (Premium) shows up to 200 of the newest Form 4 transactions in our data (all transaction codes), filterable by ticker, by a lookback of up to 90 days and to purchases only, also newest trade first.
