Largest buyer：BARINGTON COMPANIES EQUITY PARTNERS L P; BARINGTON COMPANIES MANAGEMENT, LLC; MITAROTONDA JAMES A · 123k USD
Gross qualified purchase transaction-line value：424k USD

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.

Insider vs stock price

6 purchase day(s), 15 purchase line(s) in the 180-day window.

Daily close (USD)Day with an insider purchaseTwo or more insiders the same day

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.

If you had followed the purchase

Each row starts on the first close on or after the day a purchase was made public, the earliest a reader could have acted, and ends on the last close shown above.

5 of 5 disclosure day(s) ended ahead of the median peer stock.

Close to close, before costs, taxes, dividends and currency moves. The peer is the median of the other stocks on the same exchange for which this site holds prices (1089 here), not an index. This is what happened, not a forecast: across all purchases on this site the typical gap is close to zero.

Insider timeline

6 insiders bought within 12 days, 5 Jun to 16 Jun: 6 Board member. 4 of them bought again later. The share closed at 21.50 on the first of those days and at 24.59 most recently (+14.4%). That week 192 companies across United States disclosed insider purchases, more than in 81% of the last 26 weeks: insiders often buy together when a closed period ends, so the timing alone says less than it seems.

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 5 Jun – 16 Jun, with 6 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, +12.6% over these six months

The closing price of each day, from 21.84 on 2026-04-21 to 24.59 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 +12.6%, the typical one −11.1%, 23.7 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: 192 companies, number 5 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, large purchases); share price and trading, short sellers, company results were checked and none crosses a bear threshold. No data is held for: company actions.

The insider purchases themselvesBullseveral insiders together, large purchases Bearusual level for this company, buyer's past purchases trailed the benchmark6 checked, under the threshold
Share price and trading2 checked, under the threshold
Short sellers1 checked, under the threshold
Company results1 checked, under the threshold · 1 missing
Company actionsno data held

Bull case · the buying is informative

6 insiders bought within 15 days (2026-06-04 to 2026-06-16). Several people reaching the same decision at the same time is hard to put down to one person's circumstances.
Net purchases of $424k equal 0.29% of the company's market value ($144.7M): large for the size of the business.

Bear case · discount it

Buying at this level is normal here: 9 insiders bought in the previous 180 days and 6 in this one.
The 26 earlier purchases by DiSanto Frederick D. trailed S&P 500 ETF (SPY adjusted close) by a median 3.0% over the following 60 trading days.

Evidence still missing

Only one reading of profitability is held (profit margin 3.4%). Whether earnings and cash flow are rising or falling needs the last two reports side by side.

Checked and under the threshold: 10, 1 close to it

BearFINRA short interest on 2026-09-30 equals 9.8 days of average trading volume and 1.6% of the 6,017,558 shares outstanding, down 7.4% from the previous report. Counted for the bear side from 10 days, or from 10% of the shares outstanding. close to the threshold
BearThe largest buyer accounts for 29% of the value bought. Counted for the bear side from 80%.
BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
EitherThe latest purchase is 32 days old. Bull up to 14 days, bear from 90.
BearThe share price changed +13% over six months (three months −5.2%, one month −4.1%) and stands 18% below its 52-week high. Counted for the bear side from a fall of 20%.
BearOver three months the share price changed −5.2% and the median of 115 Industrials companies changed −12%: ahead by 6 points. Counted for the bear side from 20 points behind.
BearNone of the 13 purchase filings ticks Form 4's 10b5-1 box.
Bull13 of 13 purchase filings state the shares held before and after. The largest addition to an existing holding took it from 4,167 to 5,384 shares (+29%). Counted for the bull side from +100%, for the bear side below +1%.

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.

Results dates are the company's 8-K filings to the SEC under Item 2.02 (results of operations); one filed after the close counts from the next session. Purchases are open-market buys reported on Form 4 (code P), by trade date; a Form 4 can arrive two business days after the trade, so the latest days can still fill in. Facts only; this does not change the score or rank.
