Insider purchases (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (CMCO)
2 purchases, $195K. Private placements, offerings, dividend reinvestment and employee stock purchase plan buys are excluded.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | Avg price | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-20 | Stephens Christopher J | Director | 2,750 | $47K | 17.14 | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023) |
| 2026-07-31 | Linker John R | EVP, Finance and CFO | 7,500 | $148K | 19.67 | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023–2025) |
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.
