UBER President and COO Andrew Gordon MacDonald filed a pair of open-market purchases totalling $5.3M in early September, picking up roughly 70,000 shares. The trades were discretionary, carrying no 10b5-1 plan disclosure, which makes them a stronger signal of management confidence. Uber's short interest sits at just 2.4% of free float, so bears are not pressing hard against the stock.
At ESTC, the picture runs the other way. Two insiders filed sales worth a combined $45M in September. That cluster of selling at Elastic, which carries a 5.2% short interest, is worth watching ahead of any catalyst.
Belgian biotech ARGX saw three insiders report sales totalling $24.3M. Argenx has a market cap above $53B, so the dollar amounts are modest relative to size, but three executives moving in the same direction in a short window is a pattern that bears noting.
On the activist front, the vendor data shows JPMorgan disclosed a move into Huaneng Power, buying $26.9M worth of shares in early September, filed on 8 September.
Separately, GM reports earnings on 20 October. ORTEX German car registration data, which leads GM revenue by 15 days with a strong fit, is running 133% above the same quarter last year, a reading that points to a strong print.
