Stephen M. Bunker

Stephen M. Bunker is a declared insider of Natures Sunshine Products Inc, with filings sourced from SEC (Form 4). Between 24 September 2012 and 31 May 2016, the trades on record add up to 21 filings.

The open-market side counts 4 purchases for €82k alongside 9 sales for €463k. The amount is not disclosed for 1 filing. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. Outside the open market, there are 5 share grants and 3 option exercises. In 2016 alone, the filings show 3 purchases and no sales.

Half of the purchases are above €37k and half below. 3 out of 3 purchases came within 30 days of a purchase by at least one other insider of the same company. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. Ninety days after publication, 3 purchases show a median change of +27.1%, with the price up in 100% of them. These figures describe past trades and do not predict future prices.

The newest entry dates from 31 May 2016: an open-market purchase of €37k, in Natures Sunshine Products Inc. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning.
