Unmasking the importance of insider transactions

Insider transactions should not be the primary basis for an investment decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.

Legally, an “insider” is any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company’s stock registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This may include senior executives and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions to the public via a Form 4, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.

When a company insider makes a new purchase, it is an indication that he or she expects the stock price to rise.

Insider sales, on the other hand, can occur for a variety of reasons and do not necessarily mean that the seller expects a drop in share price.

Cracking transaction codes

Investors prefer to focus on transactions that take place in the open market, as set out in Table I of Form 4. P in Box 3 means a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C refers to the conversion of an option and the transaction code A means the granting, awarding or other acquisition of securities of the company.
