Score anatomy

Each bar shows the contribution to the current score; the weights and formula stay unchanged.

Cluster+35.0 / 35

How many distinct insiders bought in the cluster

Purchase size+10.3 / 25

Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity

Role+7.0 / 20

The seniority and relevance of participating insiders

Conviction+10.0 / 10

How clearly buying stands out from other activity

What is holding the score back?

  • ⚠ Purchase size is modest relative to the model scale
  • ⚠ Insider role contributes less on the current role scale
  • ⚠ Purchase activity is becoming less recent
  • ✓ Broad buyer cluster · 4+ distinct filers

The role contribution follows the US model's seniority ladder.

The headline $ total is net buying for the screen; this module uses gross qualified purchase transaction-line values in the filing currency, so the amounts can differ. The current 15-day buyer-breadth input counts distinct buyers; value concentration is disclosed separately here.

This is a ranking under the current US screening rules—not a probability of gain, return forecast, or buy recommendation.

Markers sit on the closing price of the transaction day. They show when insiders traded, not the price they paid or received. "Since" compares that day's close with the last close shown; it is what happened at this company, not a forecast.

Insider timeline

9 insiders bought within 2 days, 27 May to 28 May: 5 Board member, 1 Executive, 1 CEO / chair, 1 CFO, 1 Associated person. The share closed at 15.50 on the first of those days and at 14.66 most recently (−5.4%). That week 171 companies across United States disclosed insider purchases, an ordinary week (10 of the last 26).

Tap an item for what it means.

●A purchase: the bigger the dot, the more was bought

Each dot is one insider's purchases on one day. The dot's area follows the amount: the largest purchase here gets the largest dot. Hold the pointer over a dot to see the date and the amount.

▮Purple band: several insiders bought within 15 days

The band marks the stretch with the most different buyers: at most 15 days long and at least two people. Here it is 27 May – 28 May, with 9 insiders. Only the strongest stretch is marked. Several people deciding the same thing is harder to explain by one person's private reasons, but insiders often buy together just after a closed period ends, so compare it with the grey weekly bars.

Blue line: this share's price, −7.8% over these six months

The closing price of each day, from 15.90 on 2026-04-21 to 14.66 on 2026-10-09. The line has no scale; read it for high and low: a dot on a low stretch was bought cheaply, a dot on a high stretch was not.

Dashed line: the typical stock on the same exchange, −11.1%

Taken from the 1230 other stocks on the same exchange that this site holds prices for. Each is measured from the first day of the window, and every day the middle one is drawn. It starts where the blue line starts, so the gap between the two is the difference: this share −7.8%, the typical one −11.1%, 3.3 points ahead. It is not an index and not a comparison within one industry.

▂Grey bars: companies across United States disclosing purchases each week

A taller bar is a week in which more companies disclosed insider purchases. The purple bar is the week of the band above: 171 companies, number 10 of the last 26 weeks. If that week was a peak anyway, buying together is less special than it looks.

BULL VS BEAR

Two readings of this buying

The same filings, read two ways. Each line is a fact stored for this company with the number behind it, and appears only when that number crosses a fixed threshold. Neither side is a forecast and no winner is declared.

Where the evidence comes from

Independent evidence does not object: the purchases themselves carry bull lines (several insiders together, more buyers than usual here); share price and trading, short sellers were checked and none crosses a bear threshold. No data is held for: company results, company actions.

  • The insider purchases themselvesBullseveral insiders together, more buyers than usual here Bearlatest purchase is old6 checked, under the threshold · 1 missing
  • Share price and trading2 checked, under the threshold
  • Short sellers1 checked, under the threshold
  • Company results2 missing
  • Company actionsno data held

Bull case · the buying is informative

  • 9 insiders bought within 15 days (2026-05-27 to 2026-05-28). Several people reaching the same decision at the same time is hard to put down to one person's circumstances.
  • No insider bought in the 180 days before this window; 9 have bought in it. The buying is new for this company, not a habit.

Bear case · discount it

  • The latest purchase was 143 days ago (2026-05-28). A reporting period has passed since, so what the buyers knew then may already be public.

Evidence still missing

  • No buyer here has 5 or more completed earlier purchases on record, so there is no track record to weigh.
  • The company's market value is not captured, so the purchases cannot be stated as a share of the business or of its trading volume.
  • No earnings, margin or cash-flow figures are captured for this company. The latest annual and interim reports are where to check whether the business is improving or deteriorating.
Checked and under the threshold: 9
  • BearThe largest buyer accounts for 26% of the value bought. Counted for the bear side from 80%.
  • EitherNet purchases of $201k in 180 days. Bull from $1.0M, bear when all purchases total under $25k.
  • BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
  • BearThe share price changed −9.6% over six months (three months −4.2%, one month −6.4%) and stands 15% below its 52-week high. Counted for the bear side from a fall of 20%.
  • BearOver three months the share price changed −4.2% and the median of 143 Financial Services companies changed −1.2%: behind by 3 points. Counted for the bear side from 20 points behind.
  • BearNone of the 9 purchase filings ticks Form 4's 10b5-1 box.
  • Bull9 of 9 purchase filings state the shares held before and after. The largest addition to an existing holding took it from 19,282 to 20,457 shares (+6.1%). Counted for the bull side from +100%, for the bear side below +1%.
  • BearNo insider filing in the last 180 days opened a hedge on this stock.
  • BearFINRA short interest on 2026-09-30 equals 1.0 days of average trading volume and 0.12% of the 5,735,518 shares outstanding, down 4.4% from the previous report. Counted for the bear side from 10 days, or from 10% of the shares outstanding.
