Superinvestors (SEC 13F-HR, Q2 2026) (GGG)
1 of 80 tracked investors hold GGG. Each row is the investor's latest 13F; change is vs their prior-quarter share count.
| Investor | Firm | % of portfolio | Value | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mairs & Power | Mairs & Power Funds | 2.63% | $287M | Reduced -0.5% |
Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (GGG)
0 of 1 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-03 | Etchart Eric | Director | 3,218 | $257K | 6.5% | No | Opportunistic (traded every year 2023–2025, no repeating month) |
% 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.
Insider purchases (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (GGG)
1 purchase, $100K. Private placements, offerings, dividend reinvestment and employee stock purchase plan buys are excluded.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-04-27 | Simon Andrea Helen | Director | 1,240 | $100K | 80.53 | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023–2025) |
