How to Read Insider Trade Disclosures

SEC Form 4 filings disclose transactions by corporate insiders within 2 business days of the trade. Talos surfaces the insider's name, title, number of shares traded, price, and a link to the original SEC filing.

What Insider Buying Signals

Studies show that insider purchases — especially by CEOs and CFOs — predict above-average returns over the following 12 months. The intuition: insiders buy when they believe the stock is undervalued. Selling is less informative due to personal liquidity and diversification needs.
