Net insider buying, 12 months (Insider net 12m)
Open-market purchases less open-market sales filed by insiders on Form 4 over the last twelve months, in dollars.
A year smooths the single sale an executive makes every quarter on a schedule.
How it is computed here
Sum of filed open-market purchase values - sum of filed open-market sale values
Measured over the trailing twelve months. Form 4 filings over the last twelve months, ending on the day our Form 4 record was last read, and only when that record reaches back a year. Filed under risk. Neither a high nor a low reading is good on its own, so it is never coloured as one.
No published threshold exists for this figure, so this page prints none. Read it against the company's own history and its peers instead.
When it misleads
- Not shown when our Form 4 record does not reach back a year.
- A transaction filed without a price withholds the dollar total for the whole window.
