Insider tapeFilings through Fri, Oct 2

Our picks

Every stock with insider purchases filed in the last 45 days gets a score out of 100 from seven rules. These are the 10 highest. Each card shows how the score was earned, what could go wrong, and what has happened since the insiders bought.

Rule-based rankings for research and education, not personal investment advice. Scores use public data that can be wrong or out of date. Do your own research. See how past picks have done →

How the score works

ComponentPointsWhat earns points
Insider conviction30More insiders buying, the CEO or CFO buying, and purchases that are large relative to the company's value.
Insider track record15The best Insider Score among the buyers. Unscored insiders get a neutral 7.
Valuation15Trailing P/E compared with the median of the same sector. Lower scores higher; loss-making companies score low.
Profitability10Profit margin, with a small adjustment for revenue growth or decline.
Volume10Average volume over the last 5 sessions vs. the prior 50. Rising volume suggests other buyers are noticing.
Entry price10Best when the stock is still near what insiders paid. Stocks that have already run up more than 25% score low.
News & events10Headline tone since the first purchase, minus points for negative 8-K filings (restatements, impairments, restructurings) and repeated policy or regulatory headlines.

The weights are set by hand from published research on insider buying. They have not yet been backtested on this site's data. Full methodology
