Every row comes from the reporting owner's Form 4 as filed with the SEC (EDGAR ownership XML), read daily. "Value" is shares × the reported price; code P is an open-market purchase, S a sale, M an option exercise, A a grant. The lag is the filing date minus the trade date; Form 4 is due within two business days. Amendments (4/A) are not merged. Details on the methodology page; report an error on corrections.
