Educational Development Corp is a Media & Communication company. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 3 filings were filed, from 3 insiders.
Only purchases show up on the open market, 3 purchases in all, filed by 3 insiders. No amount is published for 3 filings, which the totals therefore leave out. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. Those buying include 1 finance chief, 1 senior executive and 1 chief executive.
Compared with its exchange (5,458 companies, median 22 filings), a count of 3 filings is below the norm. Our records for Educational Development Corp go back to 2021, with 37 purchases and 2 sales on the open market in total.
In all, 3 purchases were made within 30 days of a purchase by another insider of the company. Such overlaps are known as a cluster signal: distinct people reaching the same decision at about the same time. The last purchase on record was published on 18 November 2025, which is 334 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 4 days after it takes place. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4.

Educational Development Corporation (NASDAQ: EDUC) is a U.S.-listed company traded on NASDAQ in the United States, with headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Founded in 1965 and incorporated in Delaware, the company operates as a niche publisher and distributor of children’s books, educational products, and learning toys. Its business model is built around two complementary segments: PaperPie, a direct-selling and multi-level marketing channel, and EDC Publishing, a trade-focused distribution arm serving retail accounts. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/31667/000118518525000543/educ-ars022825.pdf))
EDUC’s portfolio centers on children’s and educational content. The company is the owner and exclusive publisher of Kane Miller children’s books, Learning Wrap-Ups educational manipulatives, and SmartLab Toys STEAM-based toys and games. It is also the exclusive U.S. multi-level marketing distributor of Usborne children’s books. This gives EDUC a distinctive position in the children’s educational publishing niche: it combines proprietary brands with exclusive distribution rights, allowing it to address both direct consumers and institutional buyers. Its customers include families, schools, public libraries, bookstores, toy stores, gift shops, and home educators across the United States. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/31667/000118518525000543/educ-ars022825.pdf))
From a competitive standpoint, the company competes with larger publishers, online retailers, and other direct-selling or specialty educational product vendors. EDUC’s differentiation lies in brand-led content, curated educational products, and a direct relationship model that leverages independent Brand Partners nationwide. PaperPie uses home shows, social media collaboration platforms, and book fairs to drive sales and recruit reps, while EDC Publishing relies on commissioned trade representatives to reach the retail channel. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/31667/000118518525000543/educ-ars022825.pdf))
Recent developments have been dominated by balance-sheet and financing actions. In 2025, the company pursued a sale-and-leaseback of its Tulsa headquarters and warehouse, then later announced the transaction had been terminated. In March 2026, EDUC entered into a new credit agreement with Regent. For investors, these events matter because they signal ongoing financial restructuring and liquidity management, which can be especially material for a small-cap company with limited scale. Overall, EDUC remains a specialized U.S. microcap in children’s publishing and educational products, with a unique channel mix but also notable execution and financing risk.
