What the filings show

2024-10-18 – 2026-10-16: 5,731 purchase filings at 358 companies by 1,228 filers. Median time from trade to publication: 2 business days; 7% took longer than 5 business days.

Latest purchase filings

Dates are the ones stated in the filing. Where a filing gave no separate trade date, most sources repeat the publication date, so same-day figures are overstated and the share that took longer is a lower bound. Gaps under zero or over 250 business days are treated as date errors and left out. A late filing can have an ordinary cause, such as a correction of an earlier notice.
