Investors and analysts keep a close eye on the insider trading activities of publicly listed companies, as executives, directors, and major shareholders typically have a deeper understanding of the company's internal affairs. Their stock transactions may hint at significant information that has not yet been disclosed to the public, which could have a substantial impact on the company's future trajectory. Moreover, the trading decisions of these insiders might be based on their unique interpretation of publicly available information, thereby offering the market clues about potential changes in stock prices. Thus, such trading activities hold significant value for analyzing the company's prospects and forecasting stock price movements.
This data captures insider trading activity at publicly traded companies. The Securities and Exchange Commission has made these insider trading reports available on its web site in a structured format since mid-2003. The presented dataset is created from the original regulatory filings; it is updated daily and includes all information reported by insiders without alteration.
