The most notable discretionary insider purchase in the latest filings came from UBER. Andrew Gordon MacDonald, President and COO, filed on 8 September that he bought 54,325 shares at $75.65 each. The total value was $4.1 million. An open-market purchase by a sitting COO carries real weight. It is not a routine grant or a pre-planned disposal.
The rest of the filing data from that date was dominated by institutional 5%-owner movements, not C-suite discretionary trades. JPMorgan Chase filed reductions across several Hong Kong-listed names. It cut its stake in Kingdee International Software by $84.9 million and trimmed Sunny Optical Technology by $70.8 million. These are passive portfolio adjustments by a custodian bank, not insider conviction signals.
One trade stood out on the buy side outside the US. The chairman of Turkish industrial valve maker Burçelik Vana filed a $12.9 million open-market purchase on the same day an asset manager was selling $13.6 million of the same stock. A chairman buying into a block sale is a meaningful contrarian signal.
ORTEX's first-party SEC EDGAR Form 4 tables were unavailable in this session, so US C-suite trades filed in October 2026 could not be retrieved. The vendor insider data used here runs only to 8 September 2026. Fresher US filings, and any Schedule 13D activist crossings in October, remain unverified.
