At Extreme Investor Network, we go beyond the headlines to provide you with valuable insights into the world of investing. Corporate insiders play a crucial role in the stock market, and their buying and selling activities can offer valuable clues for investors. In May, we saw some interesting insider transactions that are worth paying attention to.
One notable insider purchase came from Shift4 Payments CEO Jared Isaacman, who made a significant investment in his company’s stock. VerityData labeled this as a “High IQ buy,” as Isaacman has a track record of seeing positive returns on his previous purchases. However, it’s important to note that not all insiders were bullish on their own companies, as seen with Shift4’s Chief Financial Officer selling shares the same week.
Similarly, at Akamai Technologies, CEO Tom Leighton made a sizable purchase of stock, which was also labeled as a “High IQ buy” by VerityData. Despite this positive move, there were insider sales within the company as well, which could temper the optimism surrounding Leighton’s purchase.
On the other hand, Biohaven saw a more unified front with director John Childs buying over $1 million worth of stock. This, along with other insider purchases by directors and the CEO, shows a strong vote of confidence in the company despite its year-to-date performance.
In contrast, there were also significant insider sales during the same period, with some CEOs offloading millions of dollars worth of stock. Understanding the reasons behind these sales, such as reaching all-time highs or upcoming buyout deals, can provide valuable insights for investors.
