O. B. Parrish

O. B. Parrish discloses dealings in 2 companies, chiefly Veru Inc. and Zila Inc. We count 38 filings; the first trade dates from 1 May 2006 and the latest from 28 June 2018.

On the open market, the record shows 9 purchases worth €135k and 3 sales worth €418k. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €283k. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. The rest of the record consists of 5 share grants and 5 option exercises.

Half of the purchases are above €12k and half below. On 4 out of 4 purchases, another insider of the same company was buying within the same 30 days. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase. For 8 purchases whose 90-day window has closed, the share price was higher on day 90 than the day after publication in 75% of cases, with a median move of +19.8%. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

The newest entry dates from 29 June 2018: a transaction, in Veru Inc. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 3,451 days ago, on 16 May 2017. 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. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
