Steve and I went live to break down last week’s most notable insider buys, filtering the real “smart money” moves from the noise. 

We ranked them from 1 to 5 based on size, the buyer, and the filing type.

Here’s the replay.

📌 Today's standout insider activity comes from a cluster of Form 4 filings by multiple CEOs

• Pebblebrook Hotel Trust $PEB
• Ulta Beauty $ULTA
• F&G Annuities & Life $FG
• Prospect Capital $PSEC

A CEO buying shares is already a strong bet—but when multiple CEOs step in at once, the signal becomes even more compelling.

📌 Starboard Value increased its stake in Qorvo $QRVO from 7.79...

Some of the most important names in software and semiconductors are seeing fresh buys, perhaps indicating confidence at bargain levels.

📌 Adobe $ADBE

CFO Durn Daniel bought 1,300 shares, equivalent to $507,759. 

Following CFO insider buys is crucial because they know the numbers better than anyone. When a CFO puts their own money on the line, it’s often a strong signal of confidence in the company.

📌 Oracle $ORCL

Director Michael J. Boskin added $111,145—not massive, but still a nod to a software heavyweight that’s been holding key support.

📌 Advanced Micro Devices $AMD & ASML Holding NV $ASML

Sen. Ashley Moody purchased $100,000 to $250,000 worth of AMD and between $50,001 and $100,000 of ASML—two semiconductor powerhouses way off their highs from last year.

Sen. Moody also bought $100,000 to $250,000 of Lilly(Eli) &...

Familiar names top today’s list.

📌 Broadwood Partners, a key stakeholder and long-time believer in Staar Surgical $STAA, just filed a Form 4 revealing a $3.6 million buy.

Broadwood has been deeply involved with STAA for years, making its moves worth watching.

📌Steve Cohen’s Point72 made some serious noise filing an original 13G for  Relay Therapeutics $RLAY revealing a 5.70% stake.

📌 Redwire $RDW CFO Peter Cannito joined an insider wave here with a $175,127 buy.

The chief financial officer’s move, showcases continuing leadership belief in the aerospace and defense company’s future.

A couple of big moves stand out today. 

Lawmakers are jumping into once high-flying momentum names that have recently unwound.

We’re also watching a near-million-dollar purchase in a Dow component that’s just broken down technically, completing a short-term top.

Let’s get into it:

📌 Tesla $TSLA
Rep. Vicente Gonzalez of Texas bought between $15,000 and $100,000 worth of $TSLA across two transactions.

It’s a vote of confidence in the EV giant that has seen its share price tumble from record highs as controversy surrounds its figurehead, Elon Musk. 

📌 Hims & Hers $HIMS
Rep. Tony Wield of Wisconsin also went on a shopping spree in $HIMS, investing somewhere in the vicinity of $250,000.

This health-focused company soared last year but has since pulled back sharply.

When the CEO and CFO start buying with their own cash, I pay close attention.

These are the purchases that really matter. These are the people who know the business inside and out.

This isn’t about stock options or compensation—these are open-market buys

Let’s get into it:

📌 John F. Barry, CEO of Prospect Capital Corp $PSEC, made a bold move with a $2,028,024 purchase.

📌 Andrew Casey, CFO of Amplitude Inc $AMPL, revealed a purchase of $239,765 in his own company’s stock.

The Hedge Fund King is making moves.

📌The biggest insider transaction today comes from Steve Cohen’s Point72, which filed a 13G for a 5% stake in VNET Group $VNET. 

As one of the most sophisticated hedge funds, known for high-conviction bets, their entry signals strong institutional confidence in the stock.

📌In another Form 4, Victoria’s Secret $VSCO saw a $2.18 million insider buy from BBRC International PTE LTD, an investment firm with a history of strategic retail plays.

📌Ares Management $ARES Director Bhutani Ashish put down $1.41 million on his company.

📌Last but not least, Southwest Airlines $LUV had multiple directors stepping in for open-market purchases.

More top decision-makers are buying their own companies’ stock.

📌 Today's most significant insider move comes from LendingTree $TREE Chief Operating Officer Peyree Scott, who purchased $1.3 million worth of shares. 

As COO, Scott has direct oversight of the company’s operations and execution. His buy suggests confidence in LendingTree’s business model and future growth. 

When a top operator puts their own money on the line, it’s worth paying attention.

📌 In energy, Marathon Petroleum $MPC Chief Commercial Officer backed his company with a $269,000 buy. 

As CCO, his focus is on revenue generation and market expansion. His purchase could signal optimism in the oil & gas sector.

📌 Meanwhile...

When CEOs put their own money on the line, it’s worth paying attention. Insiders sell for all kinds of reasons—taxes, diversification, personal expenses. 

But there’s only one reason to buy: They think the stock is going higher.

Today’s standout moves come from top executives making sizable bets on their own companies.

New Fortress Energy $NFE CEO Wes Edens just bought 100,000 shares.

First Citizens $FCNCA Chairman and CEO Frank Holding reported an $824,000 buy.

Funko $FNKO CEO Cynthia Williams filed a Form 4 revealing the purchase of $106,877 worth of shares—small in size but still a bullish statement from leadership.

Activity in Washington, D.C., tops today’s list.

📌 The standout insider move comes from MicroStrategy $MSTR, where Rep. Neal Dunn of Florida disclosed a purchase in an amount between $15,000 and $50,000.

With governments eyeing Bitcoin for strategic reserves, this could be a long-term play—regardless of the near-term chop in crypto.

This marks the second MSTR purchase we’ve seen by lawmakers in recent days. Rep. Jefferson Shreve of Indiana reported a MSTR purchase of $15,000 to $50,000 on March 10.
