Insider buying on Oct 16, 2025

On Oct 16, 2025, 28 insiders at 15 companies filed 37 purchases reported on Form 4, worth $56.6M in all, with a median purchase of $16.0K. The largest was Sprott Eric, 10% owner of Hycroft Mining Holding Corp (HYMC), who reported buying 7,690,000 shares worth $50.0M. Officers accounted for 14 purchases, directors who are not officers for 17, and 10% owners with no board or officer role for 5. Chief executives and chief financial officers filed 4 purchases: Sack Peter, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Director of Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc. (REFI); Virtue Robert A, CEO, Director of Virco Mfg Corporation (VIRC); Chung Jane, Chief Executive Officer, Director of Sutro Biopharma, Inc. (STRO) among others. 5 companies showed cluster buying, two or more insiders buying within 7 days, among them REFI (5 insiders), STRO (5 insiders), EDUC (4 insiders), GABC (4 insiders). For 9 insiders of 28, this was the first purchase of that company's stock on our record. That is more than the 19 purchases filed on Oct 15, 2025. A Form 4 is due within two business days of the trade, so most of these purchases were made earlier in the week. Code P also covers shares bought privately from the company, so one large figure can be a negotiated placement rather than buying on the exchange.
