Insider buying on Aug 19, 2026

On Aug 19, 2026, 64 insiders at 55 companies filed 86 purchases reported on Form 4, worth $27.7M in all, with a median purchase of $24.6K. The largest was Walters Group, 10% owner of Zentalis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ZNTL), who reported buying 4,335,000 shares worth $15.2M. Officers accounted for 38 purchases, directors who are not officers for 30, and 10% owners with no board or officer role for 17. Chief executives and chief financial officers filed 27 purchases: Goh Kok E, Chairman and CEO and COO, Director of CCH Holdings Ltd (CCHH); Cappell Anthony, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Director of Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc. (REFI); Correll Jesse T, Chairman & CEO, Director, 10% owner of Utg Inc (UTGN) among others. 17 companies showed cluster buying, two or more insiders buying within 7 days, among them ACON (6 insiders), LIEN (4 insiders), REFI (3 insiders), AFCG (3 insiders). For 18 insiders of 64, this was the first purchase of that company's stock on our record. That is fewer than the 87 purchases filed on Aug 18, 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.
