Hot Corner Insider Articles

Paul J. Friborg director at Estee Lauder Companies $EL continues to build a position in his own company’s stock.

This time, Friborg revealed a $5 million purchase, following a $10 million purchase earlier this week.

Here’s The Hot Corner, with data from November 20, 2024:

In another Form 4, Merchants Bank $MBIN director Patrick D. O'brien revealed a purchase of MBIN stock with a total value of $2,000,000.

The CEO of Enphase Energy $ENPH revealed the acquisition of 5,000 shares, equivalent to $308,727.

Solar stocks have fallen off a cliff since they peaked in 2021. But we’re now seeing multiple executives stepping in to buy shares in their own companies.

We’ve seen filings from top decision-makers at SolarEdge Technologies $SEDG, Sunnova Energy...

Thanks to everyone who joined us for today's Hot Corner Insider Weekly Strategy Session.

Here are the top three takeaways from the call:

• Small-caps hold the line

The S&P Small Cap 600 Index $IJR pulled back to test former resistance, which is now acting as support.

Buyers stepped in to defend this critical level, leaving the post-election gap partially filled:

As long as prices hold above the prior cycle highs, this is a bullish pattern resolution.

• Big-cap tech losing leadership?

The summer sell-off looks like the initiation of a new downtrend for the XLK/SPY ratio.

This is happening exactly where the ratio peaked during the dot-com bubble.

The current market playbook has shifted: smaller, more speculative stocks are stepping up as the new leaders while the...

Solar stocks are lighting up our Hot Corner universe again.

This time, Form 4 purchases are stealing the spotlight:

• Sunnova Energy International $NOVA director Mohamed Akbar just dropped $389,728 on his own stock.
• Array Technologies’ $ARRY CEO stepped up too, buying 14,430 shares.

When these executives start putting their skin in the game, and it comes in clusters, it's worth taking notice.

Even though solar stocks have been among the most hated in the entire market, they might be close to a turning point…

Here’s ARRY consolidating at a shelf of former lows:

There isn’t a more logical place for ARRY to dig in and rebound, than at the current support level.

The biggest insider move today comes from Paul J. Fribourg, a director at Estee Lauder Companies $EL, who purchased $10,045,534 worth of shares, as reported in a Form 4 filing.

The stock has dropped 82% from its all-time highs and is now trading at its lowest level in a decade.

This significant insider buy signals confidence in the company's potential recovery.

Here’s The Hot Corner, with data from November 15, 2024:

In another Form 4, director Alfred W. Zollar revealed a purchase of $203,970 in Nasdaq Inc $NDAQ.

We continue to witness insider activity in solar stocks. Today, we have data from the president and CEO of Enphase Energy $ENPH, who made a purchase of 5,000 shares.

Enphase has fallen 30% in the last two weeks, as solar stocks have collapsed following the election.

With the stock trading at its lowest level in more than four years...

The biggest insider move on today's list comes from a Form 4 filing by Charlie Ergen, co-founder and chairman of EchoStar Corporation $SATS.

Ergen made a power move, buying 1,551,355 SATS shares, for a value of $43.5 million.

This purchase not only is a vote of confidence—it’s the kind of buy an insider makes for only one reason. They believe the stock price will rise considerably from here. 

Here’s The Hot Corner, with data from November 14, 2024:

Divisadero Street Capital Management filed a 13G for Rush Street Interactive $RSI, revealing an increase in their stake from 5.78% to 7.80%.

The CEO of Lyft Inc $LYFT revealed a purchase of $250,271 in its latest Form 4.

Manuel Anja, a director at Hims & Hers Health $HIMS bought 5,000 shares.

The stock looks poised to break out of a massive base:

SolarEdge Technologies $SEDG director Avery More has made waves with a bold $2.1 million insider purchase of 156,000 shares.

Despite the solar industry becoming the market's "ugly duckling," More is stepping in at a key support level for SEDG. 

This area marks where prices bottomed out in 2016, sparking a historic rally:

With SEDG back at the scene of the crime, if there's a logical level for it to stop falling, we believe this is it.

That doesn't mean we’re going to get involved right here, right now, though.

Rather, we prefer to wait for a tradeable low and have enough conviction the trend is shifting higher.

Here’s The Hot Corner, with data from November 13, 2024:

Maria Angelidis-Smith, a director at Lemonade $LMND, bought 33,554 shares, equivalent to $1,007,444.

LMND has a 30% short...

In a significant move, Greenoaks Capital just revealed a $54 million purchase of Coupang $CPNG shares in a Form 4 filing.

The investment firm is known for its focus on high-growth tech companies, having previously backed game-changers like Discord and Stripe.

With this purchase, Greenoaks is betting big that Coupang is positioned for further upside.

We mentioned CPNG in our Screamin' Hot Report back in August, when the stock was resolving higher from a bottoming formation.

Fast-forward to today, and the stock looks poised to continue grinding higher, with a valid trend reversal in place. 

As long as we’re above 21, we want to err in the direction of the underlying trend.

The Greenoaks filing is just additional confirmation that we’re onto something good with this name.

Here are the top three takeaways from the call:

• The riskiest stocks are embarking on a new leg higher:

Think small-caps, Ark funds, banks, and biotech. They’re all making new highs.

• On Tuesday, the S&P 500 tested the election gap VWAP for the first time:

And then it did it again today. Buyers showed up to defend this level both times. As long as it holds, the bulls can keep running this short-term rally higher.

• With crypto in "rally mode," BTC miners offer leveraged vehicles that can help add extra exposure:

In July, Coatue Management filed a 13G revealing a 9.2% stake in Hut 8 Corp $HUT. The stock is now completing a rounding-bottom formation. If it sticks the landing, this is a brand-new uptrend.
