Sturm Ruger & Co Inc: what insiders have been doing
Every trade that managers of Sturm Ruger & Co Inc disclose to SEC (Form 4) is tracked on this page. The company sits in the Defense & Aerospace sector and is based in Southport, United States. It was founded in 1949. The last twelve months, up to 18 October 2026, brought 23 filings signed by 12 insiders.
Both sides are active: 2 purchases worth €196k and 3 sales worth €56k, from 2 insiders and 2 insiders respectively. The net balance comes to €140k on the buying side. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Among those who bought: 2 senior executives. One trade stands out by size: a purchase of €162k from Widman Phillip, disclosed on 13 May 2026, or 0.031% of market capitalisation.
In all, 1 purchase was made within 30 days of a purchase by another insider of the company. Purchases made close together by different insiders form what is called a cluster. The clock since the last published purchase (15 May 2026) now reads 156 days. Typically, a trade is published a median of 3 days after it takes place. 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.
Across the 5,811 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 19 filings; at 23 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Since 2016, the database holds 9 purchases and 49 sales by insiders of the company. The 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025 shows 546.1 m USD of revenue and -4.4 m USD of net income and a dividend of 0.62 USD per share.

About Sturm Ruger & Co Inc
Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is a U.S.-based firearms manufacturer listed on the NYSE in the United States. For French-, Belgian- and Swiss-based investors, the company is best viewed as a specialty industrial and defense-linked name focused on small arms rather than a broad consumer or general manufacturing business. Founded in 1949 and incorporated in its current Delaware form in 1969, Ruger has built a long-standing reputation around its single flagship brand, “Ruger,” which is associated with durability, functional design and strong distribution in the U.S. market. The company’s headquarters are in Southport, Connecticut, while design and manufacturing are primarily carried out in the United States, with production footprint across New Hampshire, Arizona and North Carolina. Ruger reports that almost all product content is domestic, and export sales are a small portion of firearms sales, around 5% in its latest annual filing.
Ruger’s core business is the design, manufacture and sale of firearms through independent wholesale distributors, with demand concentrated in the U.S. commercial sporting market. Its portfolio spans four main product categories: rifles, pistols, shotguns and revolvers. The company also sells lever-action rifles under the Marlin trademark, giving it a broader position in the heritage and outdoor rifle segment. In addition, Ruger operates a smaller castings and metal injection molding activity, mainly to support its internal firearm operations, with only limited external sales.

From a competitive standpoint, Ruger differentiates itself through vertically oriented U.S. manufacturing, a disciplined balance sheet and a strong cadence of new product introductions. The company remains debt-free and reported $92.5 million of cash and short-term investments at year-end 2025, according to its annual results release. New products accounted for 33% of firearm sales in 2025, highlighting the importance of innovation to the company’s revenue mix. Recent launches cited by management include the RXM pistol, Marlin lever-action rifles and the second-generation American Centerfire Rifle. In the first quarter of 2026, new products represented 41% of firearm sales, signaling continued product momentum.
Recent company highlights also include operational restructuring, cost actions and a strategic agreement with Beretta Holding announced in early May 2026, which has become an important governance and capital-markets event. Ruger therefore remains a cyclical, regulated U.S. firearm manufacturer with strong brand equity, a domestic industrial base and recurring shareholder returns, but its investment profile is also tied to U.S. consumer demand, inventory channel dynamics and firearms regulation. For European investors, it is a niche U.S. industrial/security exposure rather than a traditional defense prime.
