Delving Into the Significance of Insider Transactions
Insider transactions should never be the sole basis for investment decisions, but they can offer valuable insights into a company’s outlook and influence investor sentiment.
Legally, an ‘insider’ refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than 10% of a company’s equity securities, as defined under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This group includes C-suite executives as well as major institutional investors such as hedge funds. By law, insiders must disclose their trades via a Form 4 filing within two business days of the transaction.
An insider’s purchase of company shares is often considered a bullish signal, reflecting confidence in the company’s future prospects. Conversely, insider sales are not automatically negative — they may stem from personal or financial considerations, rather than concerns about business performance.

Essential Transaction Codes Unveiled
