Insider selling dominated US equity filings over the past month, with ORTEX screening data showing the heaviest net outflows concentrated in a handful of large-cap technology and financial names.

AppLovin stands out as the starkest case. The stock has lost 66% year to date. Yet insiders rank among the most aggressive sellers in the US universe by value over the past month, according to ORTEX insider momentum data. That combination, price collapse paired with continued insider distribution, is a pattern worth watching ahead of the company's Q3 results.

Arista Networks and Snowflake also appear among the top sellers by value over the past 30 days. Both stocks have posted strong year-to-date gains, up 29% and 40% respectively, which may explain executives locking in profits. Dell Technologies insiders have also been net sellers. Dell is up 237% year to date, the biggest gain in the cohort.

On the buying side, Lennar and Corebridge Financial show the largest insider purchase values over the past month among large-cap US names. Lennar is down 15% this year, making the buying more credible as a signal.

Medline tops the insider selling table by euro value over the one-month window. The healthcare supply company is down 24% year to date.

Note: ORTEX's first-party SEC EDGAR Form 4 transaction table was not accessible in this session. Individual trade details, exact dollar amounts, executive names, and 10b5-1 plan flags could not be confirmed. The patterns above are drawn from ORTEX aggregate insider momentum and value-sold scores.
