Reported by company insiders to the SEC on Form 4, usually within two business days. Data through Nov 14, 2026. Not all transactions are open-market trades; see the type of each row. Names and roles are shown as filed, usually surname first; a joint filing shows its first reporting owner.
Rows marked “in the IPO” are treated as part of the offering itself and are not counted in the totals: purchases at the offer price within 7 days of pricing (IPO allocations, concurrent private placements), sales at 90% to 100% of the offer price within 3 business days of pricing (selling stockholders at the closing), and sales within 35 days at the offer price or at the offer price less the underwriting discount in the prospectus (the over-allotment; 92.5% to 95% of the offer price when the discount is not found). The rule uses only price, date and the prospectus discount and can misclassify a trade.
Value is shares times the reported price; a dash means no usable price was reported (a sale or purchase without one counts in the totals in shares only). Owned after: shares held after the transaction; “indirect” marks holdings through trusts, funds or family members.
Form 4 shows what insiders reported, not why; sales can have many reasons, such as paying taxes or diversifying. This is information, not a research signal: no IPO Arc rule uses it. How this data is collected and its limits.

Research signals
- Sell or shortRule E1: sell or short signal for 60 sessionsAug 13, 2026 · Weak earnings reactionPast signals (184, deals of $50M and over): fell 70% · median -12.5% · rallied 25%+ during the hold 34%Historical
Short-selling risk: losses on a short position have no limit and can exceed the amount put up; brokers can demand more margin, recall borrowed shares or close the position; borrow fees and any dividends are owed while short and are not in the figures shown; recent IPOs are often hard to borrow and prone to squeezes.
Signals from Oct 29, 2026 onward are recorded live; earlier ones show what the rules would have flagged at the time. Signals of the pre-unlock rules RL, T1, O1 and L2 are recorded live from Nov 16, 2026; these four rules have no signals dated Oct 29, 2026 to Nov 15, 2026. See methodology.
