Insider Form 4 filings: 12 in the week of Oct. 19, against a 39 weekly median
What's new SEC EDGAR recorded 12 insider Form 4 transactions in the week of Oct. 19, 2026, Monday through Sunday, against a median of 39 a week over the 17 earlier weeks used as the baseline.
Why it matters A Form 4 is the filing a company officer, director or large shareholder makes when their holdings in the company's stock change, so the weekly count is one gauge of how much of that disclosure activity is public.
The count covers Form 4 filings logged by the SEC's EDGAR system for the week of Oct. 19, 2026. The baseline is a median of 39 filings a week across 17 earlier weeks. A Form 4 is the ownership report an insider — an officer, director or major shareholder — files with the SEC when their stake in the company changes.
Measured a second way, the week's 12 filings rank at the 21st percentile of 24 earlier complete weeks, which had a median of 34.5 filings and a typical spread of about 20 records a week. Twelve sits about 1.1 typical spreads below that median. The weekly counts are complete through Oct. 28, seven days after the week ended, and the source notes that recent weeks can look short when first sighted.
Several of the week's entries come from one issuer, SEAT, where named insiders each reported disposing of 245 restricted stock units under transaction code M, with the direction recorded as disposed. Transaction codes describe the kind of change being reported; these records do not say whether any transaction was made under a 10b5-1 trading plan.
The measure is a count of filings, not of shares, dollar values or the size of anyone's stake. Each figure here comes from SEC EDGAR Form 4 filings, including the Oct. 19 filing by Donnini David for SEAT.
Room for disagreement
Twelve is a single week in a series that has ranged from 5 to 125 filings a week since early July, so one quiet week does not establish a trend.
