Insider buying report — Tuesday, October 13, 2026: 44 open-market buys worth $55.0M
On Tuesday, October 13, 2026 the SEC published 44 open-market insider purchases worth $55.0M across 35 companies, against 27 insider sales of $1M or more worth $776.6M. By dollar value the selling outweighed the buying, which is the usual state of affairs — executives at large companies sell on schedule, and buy only on purpose.
The largest purchase
Cohen Ryan (president, ceo and chairman) at GameStop Corp. (GME) filed the day's largest purchase: 844,130 shares at $26.98, $22.8M in total, transacted on Oct 13, 2026 and filed Oct 13, 2026. What makes it notable: it is part of a cluster — three or more insiders buying the same stock within a short window; the buyer is the chief executive.
Behind it: Troim Tor Olav at BORR ($11.8M), Life Insurance Co Nippon at CRBG ($9.0M), Sgk 2018 Revocable Trust at PED ($1.9M).

Signals in the day's buying
Of the purchases filed: 10 purchases by a chief executive (API, DLPN, GME, HEI, HEI.A, PED, QTEX); 1 by a CFO (WVVI); 14 that belong to an active cluster (ALP, BORR, CINT, GME, HEI, HEI.A, SWZ); 24 first-ever purchases by the insider; 22 bought at least 25% below the recent high. These are the flags the members area scores on — a CFO buying with their own money has historically been the strongest single-insider signal, and a cluster of three or more buyers the strongest of all. The cluster guide explains the scoring.
GME — two years of insider activity on the price
BORR — two years of insider activity on the price
CRBG — two years of insider activity on the price

The largest sale was GIC Private Ltd at Medline Inc. (MDLN), $274.8M. Sales are shown from $1M upward only; below that they are overwhelmingly scheduled 10b5-1 plans and tax-driven, and listing them would bury the signal.
Context: the market-wide picture
For the week starting Oct 5, 2026, 22% of open-market insider filings across the whole market were buys (166 buys against 597 sales). The long-run average sits near a third, because insiders buy for one reason and sell for many. The full weekly series since 2019 is on the insider sentiment index.
Questions this post answers
Which insiders bought stock on Oct 13, 2026?
44 open-market purchases were filed with the SEC on Oct 13, 2026, worth $55.0M across 35 companies. The largest was Cohen Ryan at GameStop Corp. (GME), $22.8M. The ten largest are listed above.
Were insiders net buyers or net sellers on Oct 13, 2026?
By dollar value, sellers: $55.0M bought against $776.6M in sales of $1M or more. Selling normally dominates because executives sell on pre-set schedules; what matters is the buying, which is voluntary.
What counts as an insider buy here?
Only Form 4 transactions with code P — an open-market purchase paid for with the insider's own money. Grants (A), option exercises (M) and shares withheld for tax (F) are excluded, because they follow vesting schedules set years earlier and say nothing about what the insider thinks of the price.
How current is this?
The SEC publishes Form 4 filings through about 10 pm Eastern each business day. This report covers everything published on Oct 13, 2026 and was generated early the next morning from the same data the members area uses.
