Background
Price and liquidity context
median 30-day company return · 40 companies
median daily turnover
companies with buy / ADTV
Price movement is a descriptive comparison. Buy / ADTV is shown only when the insider value and turnover use the same currency; it is not an estimate of market impact.
Coverage and evidence quality
Eligible companies: 172 · Buying companies: 5 · Price history: 40 · Complete purchase values: 5
Not available yet: earnings-related buying (no results dates captured for these companies in the last 180 days); outcomes after earlier buying (no archived snapshot has 20 days of prices after it yet).
A missing value is reported as unavailable and does not lower a signal. Source filing links remain the audit record.
Participation is not a return forecast. No sector score is added. Missing detail is not zero activity.
Market breadth & relative performance
Price participation, separate from insider buying.
