Worth a closer look
- Open-market purchase with their own money (Form 4 code P), not a grant or option exercise.
- Raised their own holding by 21%.
Reasons for caution
- Other insiders sold $386K in the same 90 days, more than was bought (100% of it pre-planned).
- Held indirectly (a trust, fund or family entity), so the economic owner isn't only the named insider.
- Similar past buys beat the S&P 500 only 46% of the time (2,821 cases); the typical one trailed it by 1.1%.
