Welcome to this week’s edition of CEO Watcher.

This is the only tool that tracks the returns of insiders so we know which insider trades are worth copying.

This week we tracked 684 insider trades and found:

  • Core Scientific (CORZ) is up over 70% since we found one of the best insiders in our database buying the stock

  • The CFO and CLO at FactSet are buying the dip while the stock trades at its lowest P/E since 2008

  • A director at Scholar Rock Holdings (SRRK) bought $18M of the stock

  • and more…

Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!

👀 Top Insider Trades this Week

🥇 Director at Scholar Rock Holding Corporation ($SRRK)

SRINIVAS AKKARAJU (Director) at Scholar Rock Holding Corporation ($SRRK) purchased 500,439 shares at $37.58/share ($18.81M total) which increased their vested holdings by +8.8%. The current price is $39.65 (+5.5%). Their median purchase size is $6.43M and this is their 1st largest purchase out of 19 all time. link

Historic Returns
1m returns: +3.8% weighted | 29% win rate (4/14)
3m returns: +12.9% weighted | 36% win rate (5/14)
6m returns: +18.4% weighted | 54% win rate (7/13)
1y returns: +36.6% weighted | 33% win rate (4/12)

🥈 CFO and Chief Legal Officer each buy $100k at FactSet Research ($FDS)

FactSet is an interesting play because it was a great short candidate this summer when it was trading just above its average P/E but had a handful of insider selling, declining earnings estimates, and margin/competition concerns because of AI.

However, now we have the CFO and Chief Legal Officer buying the dip, with conservative guidance from management, and the stock trading at its lowest P/E since 2008.

🥉 [SALE] 10% Owner at Aeluma, Inc. ($ALMU)

Mark N. Tompkins (10% Owner) at Aeluma, Inc. ($ALMU) made a large, unusual sale. They just sold 106,908 shares at $17.25/share ($1.84M total) which decreased their vested holdings by -4.0%. The current price is $16.60 (-4.3%). Their median sale size is $480.9K and this is their 2nd largest sale out of 18 all time. link

Historic Returns
1m returns: +4.7% weighted | 60% win rate (9/15)
3m returns: +10.6% weighted | 100% win rate (15/15)
6m returns: +18.2% weighted | 100% win rate (15/15)
1y returns: +31.0% weighted | 100% win rate (15/15)

Note: Selling the rip (stock was up 25.00% in the month before the sale). This is the 3rd insider sale at this company in the last 30 days. This is a risky stock to short (if you’re into that kind of thing) because it’s in a hot space (semiconductors) and has some government contracts (plus the whole thing with China and how much we want to bring to the US). However, the company’s revenue growth is projected to fall from 400%+ in the last twelve months to 0-50% growth in the next twelve months. If this happens, the stock will surely give back a lot of its 400% returns in the last year.
