Superinvestors (SEC 13F-HR, Q2 2026) (EDU)
1 of 80 tracked investors hold EDU. Each row is the investor's latest 13F; change is vs their prior-quarter share count.

| Mason Hawkins | Southeastern Asset Management | 0.99% | $18.9M | Reduced -21.2% |
Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (EDU)
0 of 2 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | % of holdings sold | 10b5-1 plan | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-07…2026-08-10 | Zhou Chenggang | Director | 70,000 | $4.0M | 14% | No | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023–2025) |
| 2026-07-31…2026-08-03 | Zhuge Yue | Director | 2,170 | $129K | 100% | No | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023–2025) |
% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
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.
