No insider purchase over the last 90 days. The latest was filed 04 Mar 2026.
Marcus Corp, founded in 1935, is a Retail company based in Milwaukee, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). In the past year (18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026), 43 filings came from 16 insiders.
Both sides are active: 1 purchase and 5 sales worth €1.7M, from 1 insider and 4 insiders respectively. No amount is published for 2 filings, which the totals therefore leave out. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. At €1.2M, the sale published on 24 September 2026 by Gershowitz Diane M is the largest of the period (0.16% of market cap). Those buying include 1 senior executive.
The last purchase on record was published on 4 March 2026, which is 228 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 2 days. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification.
With 43 filings in twelve months, the company is more active than the median of 19 filings across the 5,808 companies we follow on the same exchange. Since 2016, the database holds 3 purchases and 14 sales by insiders of the company. The 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025 shows 758.5 m USD of revenue and 12.7 m USD of net income.
In the same sector, recent insider purchases at GameStop Corp. and Celsius Holdings, Inc. also feature in our signals. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.

The Marcus Corporation (NYSE: MCS) is a U.S.-listed company headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with operations focused on entertainment and hospitality. For international investors, it represents a hybrid profile combining consumer cyclicality, real estate ownership, and operational exposure to moviegoing, travel demand, and discretionary spending. Founded in 1935 by Ben Marcus with the purchase of a single theatre in Ripon, Wisconsin, the company has developed from a one-screen exhibitor into a diversified owner-operator with meaningful company-owned real estate assets.
Marcus is organized around two core business segments. Marcus Theatres operates a multi-state cinema circuit under the Marcus Theatres, Movie Tavern by Marcus, and BistroPlex brands. The company describes this division as the fourth-largest theatre circuit in the United States, giving it scale in film programming, studio relationships, premium format deployment, and food-and-beverage monetization. Its theatre model is not limited to ticket sales: upgraded amenities, recliner seating, premium large-format screens, and dining concepts are central to the customer proposition. The second segment, Marcus Hotels & Resorts, owns and/or manages hotels, resorts, and other lodging properties, with an operating footprint concentrated in several U.S. states. This lodging platform is supported by a real estate-heavy model that can enhance long-term asset value and provide balance sheet flexibility relative to pure management companies.
From a competitive standpoint, Marcus is best viewed as a regional leader with national relevance in cinema and a selective, quality-focused hotel portfolio. In theatres, it competes against large national chains and independent exhibitors, but differentiates through experience-led offerings, premium amenities, and a strong Midwest footprint. In hospitality, the company competes in upper-upscale and resort lodging, where execution, guest experience, and asset quality matter more than simple scale. Its ownership bias also makes the investment case different from many asset-light peers.
Recent company updates show an active modernization agenda. In 2025, Marcus celebrated its 90th anniversary and continued expanding premium cinema technologies such as SCREENX in several states. On the hotel side, the company highlighted renovation activity and the planned reopening of a wing of Hilton Milwaukee under a new identity. Its latest reported results pointed to improved theatre performance supported by a favorable film slate and solid hotel results driven by stable leisure demand and strong group bookings. For investors monitoring insider activity via SEC Form 4 filings, MCS remains a cyclical but established U.S. consumer and real-estate-backed operator with a long operating history and recognizable brand equity on the NYSE.
