Price vs insider buying
WAST · USD● Purchase × Sale ◇ Public disclosure ▥ 15-day cluster ·
Circles and crosses mark trade dates; diamonds below the axis mark later public disclosures. The trade became public on its disclosure date. Prices are nearest-session closes, not insider execution prices. Marker sizes are not compared when values or currencies differ.
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
The two kinds of evidence disagree: the purchases themselves carry bull lines (bought in the last two weeks), while share price and trading argue against (price down over six months, price trails its sector). No data is held for: company results, company actions.

Bull case · the buying is informative
- The latest purchase is 14 days old (2026-10-22). The buying is current, not left over from an earlier quarter.
Bear case · discount it
- Only one insider bought. A single purchase can reflect that person's own finances rather than a view on the company.
- Share price and tradingThe share price is down 97% over six months (three months −81%, one month −35%) and stands 98% below its 52-week high. Insiders have bought into a fall the market has not reversed.
- Share price and tradingOver three months the share price changed −81% and the median of 115 Industrials companies changed −17%: 65 points behind. The market has marked this company down against its own sector.
Evidence still missing
- The recorded purchase value is under $1,000, which usually means a price or unit was not captured from the source. Check the amounts against the filing before weighing size.
- No buyer here has 5 or more completed earlier purchases on record, so there is no track record to weigh.
- 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: 5
- Either1 insider bought in the last 180 days and 0 in the 180 days before. Bull when the number at least doubles and rises by two; bear when at least two bought before and no more buy now.
- BearNone of the 1 purchase filing ticks Form 4's 10b5-1 box.
- Bull1 of 2 purchase filings states the shares held before and after. The largest addition to an existing holding took it from 1,305,714 to 1,730,714 shares (+33%). 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 2026-10-15 equals 1.0 days of average trading volume and 0.87% of the 149,220,840 shares outstanding, up 142% from the previous report. Counted for the bear side from 10 days, or from 10% of the shares outstanding.

How many different insiders bought within 15 days
Amount bought+12.5 / 25
The value bought, net of any insider sales
Buyers' roles+13.0 / 20

Lower when insiders also sold
What is holding the score back?
- ⚠ Few buyers · fewer than 4 different insiders
- ⚠ Buyers' roles add little · most senior buyer: Chairman and CEO; the most senior score lowest
- ✓ Recent buying · latest purchase 2026-10-22
Buyers' roles follow the US order of roles: CEOs, chairs and 10% owners score lowest.

Largest buyer：GALLAGHER SCOTT · 219 USD
Purchases counted, before sales：219 USD
The amount at the top of the page is purchases minus sales; this one counts purchases only, in the filing currency, so the two can differ. The score counts how many people bought; this shows separately who bought the most.
This is a ranking under the current US screening rules—not a probability of gain, return forecast, or buy recommendation.

Insider timeline
One insider bought, 3 times, the latest (22 Oct). The share closed at 0.00 that day and at 0.00 most recently (+30.0%).
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. A filing that states no amount gets the smallest dot.
Blue line: this share's price, −97.6% over these six months
The closing price of each day, from 0.05 on 2026-05-11 to 0.00 on 2026-11-05. 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, −9.6%
Taken from the 1610 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 −97.6%, the typical one −9.6%, 88.0 points behind. It is not an index and not a comparison within one industry.

Insiders' buying price vs the latest close

Insider profile outcomes
Historical performance following insider filings. The company role is translated below each name while preserving the original title.
- Excess return = stock return − S&P 500 ETF (SPY adjusted close) return over the same period.
- Hit rate = completed events with positive excess return ÷ total completed events.
- Price coverage = valid point-in-time prices ÷ events mature enough for that period.
- Returns start on the first shared trading session on or after publication.
- Small-sample rule: n<5 is shown for transparency and is not scored.
Events are disclosure-level observations; related disclosures published on the same date may share a return path and may not be statistically independent. This research enrichment does not affect the insider score or ranking.
Signal outcomes
Calculated from immutable US ranking snapshots; excess return is stock return minus SPY return. Newly saved snapshots remain pending until each forward horizon matures. This never affects the US score.

These are underlying national-feed records from the 365-day window ending on the saved ranking snapshot. The score uses only the latest 180 days; older qualifying equity purchases remain visible for audit but do not enter the current score. The original filer, role, transaction classification, instrument, price, volume, value and source fields are retained. The first three rows are shown; remaining records can be unfolded for audit.
