The weekly read · Aug 15, 2026 – Aug 22, 2026
Who actually chose to sell this week
Headlines count all insider selling as one number. Most of it is a Rule 10b5-1 plan — sales scheduled months in advance, executing on autopilot, saying nothing about what the insider thinks today. The number that can carry information is the other kind: a sale someone decided to make now. Here is this week's split, straight from SEC Form 4 filings.
Open-market selling
