Michael S. Polacek

Michael S. Polacek is a declared insider at 2 companies; the most frequent names are Knowles Corp and National Semiconductor Corp. Between 1 June 2009 and 12 February 2020, the trades on record add up to 35 filings.

Market trades split into 20 purchases (€299k) and 1 sale (€132k). On balance, insiders were net buyers of €167k. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. The rest of the record consists of 6 share grants and 4 option exercises.

A typical purchase (the median) is worth €13k. Clusters matter here: 2 out of 20 purchases overlapped with buying by a colleague within 30 days. Such overlaps are known as a cluster signal: distinct people reaching the same decision at about the same time. Ninety days after publication, 20 purchases show a median change of +1.7%, with the price up in 55% of them. These figures describe past trades and do not predict future prices.

Most recently, on 14 February 2020, the filings show a share grant worth €199k in Knowles Corp. The last purchase on record was published on 4 June 2019, which is 2,698 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 2 days. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
