Worth a closer look

  • Open-market purchase with their own money (Form 4 code P), not a grant or option exercise.
  • Bought by the CEO, one of the two people with the fullest view of the company.
  • Similar past buys beat the S&P 500 50% of the time (165 cases), above the 46% for all buys.

Reasons for caution

  • Held indirectly (a trust, fund or family entity), so the economic owner isn't only the named insider.
