Filings by Amos R. Mcmullian span 2 companies, the busiest being Flowers Foods Inc and Hughes Supply Inc. We count 62 filings; the first trade dates from 15 February 2006 and the latest from 23 May 2019.

In open-market terms, that means 5 purchases worth €1.3M on one side and 7 sales worth €14.7M on the other. On balance, insiders were net sellers of €13.4M. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. The rest of the record consists of 20 option exercises.

Half of the purchases are above €304k and half below. Of 3 purchases, 2 formed part of a group of insiders buying within 30 days of each other. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase. After 4 purchases with a full 90-day history, the hit rate stands at 100% and the median 90-day move at +10.5%. Past outcomes like these are no guarantee of what comes next.

The latest filing, published on 28 May 2019, reports an option exercise in Flowers Foods Inc. The most recent open-market purchase was published on 15 August 2017, 3,372 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
