Insider sale notices — Form 144
$9.79M in proposed insider sales are on file from recent Form 144 notices. A Form 144 is filed before an insider sells restricted or control stock — so unlike a Form 4 (which reports a sale after it happens), it's a leading indicator: it shows who intends to sell, how many shares, and roughly when. Not every notice results in a sale, but a cluster of them is worth watching.

Form 144 reports a proposed sale of restricted or control securities, filed when the seller intends to sell within 90 days. It is a notice of intent, not a confirmed transaction — the actual sale (if it occurs) is later reported on Form 4. Values shown are the aggregate market value disclosed on the notice.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Form 144?
A Form 144 is a notice filed with the SEC when an insider or affiliate intends to sell restricted or control stock — typically within the next 90 days. It must be filed when the proposed sale exceeds 5,000 shares or $50,000 in a three-month period.
How is this different from a Form 4 sale?
A Form 4 reports a sale after it happens. A Form 144 is filed before — it discloses the intent to sell. That makes 144 a leading indicator: you can see selling pressure building before it shows up as a completed transaction.
Does a Form 144 mean the insider definitely sold?
No. It is a notice of proposed sale. The insider may sell all, some, or none of the shares within the window. To confirm what actually sold, check the corresponding Form 4. Treat 144 as a signal of intent, not a completed trade.
