Insiders at beaten-down US stocks have been putting real money to work. Two names stand out: Group 1 Automotive and Lennar.
Group 1 Automotive carries the strongest one-week insider buying momentum among US stocks with market caps above $1 billion. The auto dealer is down 41% year-to-date. Analysts see 51% upside from current levels. That combination of insider conviction and deep discount rarely goes unnoticed for long. Short interest is elevated, with days-to-cover at 4.9, so any sustained buying could accelerate a move.
Lennar shows the strongest one-month insider buying signal in the homebuilder space. The stock is off 25% in 2026. A Q3 earnings call is approaching, and insiders appear to be stepping in ahead of it. With days-to-cover at 7.9 and short sellers heavily positioned, it is a stock where insider intent matters.
On the selling side, insiders at Diamondback Energy have been the most active US sellers over the past month. Shares are up 28% year-to-date, giving executives a natural window to trim. Dell Technologies and CrowdStrike also appear on the heavy selling list, though Dell's 366% YTD gain makes profit-taking unremarkable rather than alarming.
At Aon and Republic Services, fresh weekly buying signals add to a pattern of management confidence. Aon is down 22% in 2026, and buyers inside the firm appear to disagree with that verdict.
