P. James Debney

All filings by P. James Debney on record concern Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. The record holds 71 filings, for trades running from 1 October 2012 to 1 May 2019.

Market trades split into 8 purchases (€1.2M) and 9 sales (€16.1M). The net balance comes to €14.9M on the selling side. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. Besides market trades, the filings include 41 share grants and 13 option exercises.

The median purchase comes to €193k. 6 out of 6 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. After 8 purchases with a full 90-day history, the hit rate stands at 100% and the median 90-day move at +3.6%. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

On 2 May 2019 came the latest disclosure, a share grant in Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. The most recent open-market purchase was published on 17 January 2017, 3,582 days ago. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
