Hot Corner Insider Articles

Every weekend, I dive into our insider activity tracker looking for the most interesting and bullish buys — and let me tell you, this week stood out with a rare mix of high-conviction buys.

Let’s break it down:

The most important insider buy this week came from Organon & Co $OGN.

Both the CEO and CFO stepped in together, scooping up nearly $400K worth of stock. 

You don’t often see that kind of coordinated action from the top two execs — and when you do, it usually means they’re expecting significant upside, and soon. 

Next, we’ve got MiMedx Group $MDGX, where the CEO Joseph H. Capper bought over $1.2 million worth. 

That’s a strong show of confidence in a biotech name that’s been flying under the radar.

Hillman Solutions $HLMN also saw some bullish buying — their CFO & Treasurer reported nearly...

Every day, we sift through the filings to spot where the real conviction lies — cutting through the noise to highlight the most meaningful insider moves.

Here's what stood out today:

📌 KKR $KKR – Director Robert Scully bought 13,250 shares, equivalent to $1.5 million.

This is the largest Form 4 of the day and a notable show of conviction.

📌 Caterpillar $CAT – Director David MacLennan disclosed a $120,000 buy, putting fresh skin in the game at this industrial bellwether.

CAT often acts as a leading indicator for the broader economy — and insider interest here could be telling.

Every day, we sift through the filings to spot where the real conviction lies — cutting through the noise to highlight the most meaningful insider moves.

Here's what stood out today:

📌 Powell Industries  $POWL — This is the headliner. Kovitz Investment Group just filed a 13G, revealing a 13.49% passive stake in this small-cap electrical equipment name.

Kovitz is a value-focused investment firm known for taking concentrated, long-term positions in underappreciated companies. When they show up with a size like this, it sends a clear signal.

📌 The CEOs of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust $PEB, Huntsman Corp $HUN, and WillScot Holdings $WSC just filed Form 4s revealing open market buys of $600,000, $493,000, and $268,000 worth of their own stock, respectively.

Every day, we sift through regulatory filings to spot where real conviction lies — cutting through the noise to highlight the most timely and meaningful insider moves.

Here's what stood out today:

📌Organon & Co $OGN — CEO Kevin Ali and CFO Matthew Walsh filed separate Form 4s, collectively scooping up nearly $399,918 in stock. 

This is easily the standout trade of the day. When the top two executives double down at the same time, that’s a serious vote of confidence — and a signal we don’t ignore.

📌Ardelyx Inc $ARDX — Foresite Capital Fund is back with a massive $1.6 million buy. 

When a fund known for backing early-stage innovation leans in this hard, it tells us they like what they see under the hood.

Here are the most significant insider buys we’re tracking right now — starting with a major bet in Biotech and ending with a familiar name in Big Tech.

📌 Mimedx Group $MDXG – CEO Joseph H. Capper stepped in to buy 200,000 shares, equivalent to $1.27 million.

When the person steering the ship is buying with that kind of size, it usually means they believe in what’s ahead — or they know something we don’t.

📌 Hillman Solutions $HLMN – CFO Robert Kraft dropped nearly $1 million into his own stock.

If the finance chief is bullish, we take notice. It’s often one of the most telling insider signals out there.

📌 Algoma Steel $ASTL – Maple Rock Capital just upped its stake from 5.85% to 7.2%,...

Insiders loaded the cart in the packaging space today—tossing in a few jets, biopharma, and an office REIT for good measure.

📌 Sonoco $SON – CEO Howard Coker and several directors teamed up for a $1.14 million aggregate purchase, a collective vote of confidence as the packaging giant hunts for margin upside.

When top brass move together like this, it usually signals high conviction — and, often, they’re seeing something the rest of the market hasn’t caught onto yet.

📌 FTAI Aviation $FTAI – Chairman and CEO Wes Edens joined forces with COO David Moreno to scoop up a total of $908,000 in FTAI stock.

Every weekend, I dive into our insider activity tracker looking for the most interesting and bullish buys — and let me tell you, this week stood out with a rare mix of high-conviction buys.

Let’s break it down:

The most important insider buy this week came from Tesla $TSLA.

Airbnb co-founder and Tesla board member Joe Gebbia bought 4,000 shares on April 28 at around $256 per share — dropping over $1 million into the stock.

This was Tesla’s first insider purchase in nearly five years. 

A move like this from someone on the board suggests a signal of confidence 

Remember that there are many reasons an insider would sell… to buy a house, pay for a wedding, go on vacation. But there’s only one reason they buy:

They think the stock’s going higher.

And with all the bearish sentiment surrounding...
