Stephen A. Van Oss

Stephen A. Van Oss is a declared insider at 3 companies (board member); the most frequent names are Wesco International Inc, Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. and Williams Scotsman International Inc. Over a trading history stretching from 21 February 2006 to 4 March 2022, the count stands at 117 filings.

In open-market terms, that means 14 purchases worth €931k on one side and 68 sales worth €11.7M on the other. On balance, insiders were net sellers of €10.8M. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Besides market trades, the filings include 8 share grants and 24 option exercises. So far in 2022, the count stands at 4 purchases and no sales.

Half of the purchases are above €19k and half below. On 4 out of 7 purchases, another insider of the same company was buying within the same 30 days. Such overlaps are known as a cluster signal: distinct people reaching the same decision at about the same time.

The latest filing, published on 4 March 2022, reports an open-market purchase of €100k in Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
