Insider buying on Aug 12, 2026

On Aug 12, 2026, 85 insiders at 65 companies filed 120 purchases reported on Form 4, worth $97.4M in all, with a median purchase of $91.2K. The largest was Cascade Investment, L.l.c., 10% owner of Republic Services, Inc. (RSG), who reported buying 88,102 shares worth $18.9M. Officers accounted for 41 purchases, directors who are not officers for 57, and 10% owners with no board or officer role for 18. Chief executives and chief financial officers filed 22 purchases: Hudson Steven Kenneth, Chief Executive Officer, Director, 10% owner of Pinnacle Acquisition Corp (PNAQ); Huang Jack Jiajia, Chief Executive Officer, Director, 10% owner of 51Talk Online Education Group (COE); Foss Eric J, Exec. Chair and CEO, Director of Primo Brands Corp (PRMB) among others. 24 companies showed cluster buying, two or more insiders buying within 7 days, among them BLSM (6 insiders), PNAQ (6 insiders), HEPA (5 insiders), CIK 2089975 (4 insiders). For 32 insiders of 85, this was the first purchase of that company's stock on our record. That is more than the 74 purchases filed on Aug 11, 2026. 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.
