Insider buying report — Wednesday, October 21, 2026: 24 open-market buys worth $38.8M
On Wednesday, October 21, 2026 the SEC published 24 open-market insider purchases worth $38.8M across 23 companies, against 11 insider sales of $1M or more worth $163.9M. By dollar value the selling outweighed the buying, which is the usual state of affairs — executives at large companies sell on schedule, and buy only on purpose.
The largest purchase
Global X Management Company, Inc. (10% owner) at Global X Venture & Innovation Fund (GXVIX) filed the day's largest purchase: 1,945,525 shares at $12.85, $25.0M in total, transacted on Oct 19, 2026 and filed Oct 21, 2026. What makes it notable: it is this insider's first open-market purchase on record.
Behind it: Life Insurance Co Nippon at CRBG ($5.6M), Ramin Kamfar at BPRE ($3.3M), Orrin H Ii Ingram at FBK ($1.5M).

Signals in the day's buying
Of the purchases filed: 3 purchases by a chief executive (DX, OWLS, UXIN); 1 by a CFO (RAPP); 2 that belong to an active cluster (BPRE, DX); 7 first-ever purchases by the insider; 11 bought at least 25% below the recent high. These are the flags the members area scores on — a CFO buying with their own money has historically been the strongest single-insider signal, and a cluster of three or more buyers the strongest of all. The cluster guide explains the scoring.

Questions this post answers
Which insiders bought stock on Oct 21, 2026?
24 open-market purchases were filed with the SEC on Oct 21, 2026, worth $38.8M across 23 companies. The largest was Global X Management Company, Inc. at Global X Venture & Innovation Fund (GXVIX), $25.0M. The ten largest are listed above.
Were insiders net buyers or net sellers on Oct 21, 2026?
By dollar value, sellers: $38.8M bought against $163.9M in sales of $1M or more. Selling normally dominates because executives sell on pre-set schedules; what matters is the buying, which is voluntary.
What counts as an insider buy here?
Only Form 4 transactions with code P — an open-market purchase paid for with the insider's own money. Grants (A), option exercises (M) and shares withheld for tax (F) are excluded, because they follow vesting schedules set years earlier and say nothing about what the insider thinks of the price.
How current is this?
The SEC publishes Form 4 filings through about 10 pm Eastern each business day. This report covers everything published on Oct 21, 2026 and was generated early the next morning from the same data the members area uses.
