Insider Form 4 transactions: 35 in the week of Oct. 12, against a median of 39
SEC EDGAR recorded 35 insider Form 4 transactions in the week of Oct. 12, 2026, Monday through Sunday, against a median of 39 over 18 earlier complete weeks.
A Form 4 is the filing a company insider makes to tell the SEC about their own trades in the company's stock and about shares handed to them as pay, so the weekly count tracks how much insider activity is being disclosed.
The count covers Form 4 transaction records dated in the week of Oct. 12, 2026, running Monday to Sunday, as filed in SEC EDGAR. That is 35 transactions, against a median of 39 in each of 18 earlier weeks. The records are complete through Oct. 24, with no filing lag seen.
Form 4s are filed by directors, officers and large shareholders. Each record carries a transaction code: P means shares or securities acquired, S means disposed of by sale, F means shares withheld to cover taxes, and M means shares acquired through conversion of a derivative such as an option. A Form 4 reports a transaction, not a reason for it, and the filings here do not state whether any trade was made under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan.
Among the week's larger records: Gerald J. Cardinale reported code P, an acquisition of 4,900,000 warrants in PSKY on Oct. 16, with the filing listing a value of $13,720,000. Gustav Soderstrom, Co-Chief Executive Officer of SPOT, reported code S, a disposal of 6,282 ordinary shares on Oct. 12, listed at $3,323,844.52, and separately code M, an acquisition of 20,910 ordinary shares. Nayaab Islam reported code F, 441,247 Class A common shares of STUB withheld for taxes on Oct. 16, listed at $2,585,707.42.
Weekly totals in this series are uneven: they ran from 5 in the week of July 27 to 125 in the week of Oct. 5, with 17, 57 and 34 in the three weeks before that. The 35 recorded for the week of Oct. 12 sits below the 39 median but well inside the range of recent weeks.
All figures come from SEC EDGAR Form 4 filings, the same filings the SEC publishes for public inspection.
Room for disagreement
Weekly totals in this series have swung between 5 and 125 in recent months, so one week at 35 against an 18-week median of 39 may be ordinary week-to-week variation rather than a change in insider activity.
