Superinvestors (SEC 13F-HR, Q2 2026) (FLS)
2 of 80 tracked investors hold FLS. Each row is the investor's latest 13F; change is vs their prior-quarter share count.
| Investor | Firm | % of portfolio | Value | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Henry Ellenbogen | Durable Capital Partners | 2.10% | $216M | Added +205.8% |

Insider purchases (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (FLS)
2 purchases, $232K. Private placements, offerings, dividend reinvestment and employee stock purchase plan buys are excluded.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | Avg price | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-05-18 | McMurray Michael C. | Director | 2,500 | $164K | 65.71 | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023–2025) |
| 2026-05-14 | Savoy Brian D | Director | 1,000 | $67K | 67.34 | 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.
