Superinvestors (SEC 13F-HR, Q2 2026) (COO)
2 of 80 tracked investors hold COO. Each row is the investor's latest 13F; change is vs their prior-quarter share count.
| Investor | Firm | % of portfolio | Value | Change |

Insider purchases (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (COO)
4 purchases, $1.9M. Private placements, offerings, dividend reinvestment and employee stock purchase plan buys are excluded.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | Avg price | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-16 | Kurzius Lawrence Erik | Director | 10,000 | $549K | 54.93 | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023 or 2024) |
| 2026-09-11…2026-09-14 | Rosebrough Walter M Jr | Director | 10,000 | $542K | 54.16 | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023–2025) |
| 2026-09-14 | Kurzius Lawrence Erik | Director | 10,000 | $539K | 53.91 | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023 or 2024) |
| 2026-09-11 | Keel Paul A | Director | 4,701 | $250K | 53.18 | 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.
