ALL ANALYSIS
EXPLAINER · PLAN TRADES · OCT 2026
When an insider sale was decided months ago
Paycom’s founder just told the SEC his bank may sell up to 1.09 million of his shares between December and June. Come December, that will look like a decision. It was made in September. How Rule 10b5-1 plans work, and why the tracker now tags them.
ACTIVISTS · SCHEDULE 13D · SEP 2026
Who bought 5% this week, and what they said they want
Cross 5% of a company with any intent beyond sitting still and you have five days to tell the SEC why. The first week of September brought a fund that switched from passive to not, a founder setting up a sales plan, and a rights offering in the oil patch.
