USA Insider Trading Pulse — September 02, 2026
Today's insider trading pulse reveals a stark divergence: a massive $40M insider purchase by a 10% owner in AMG Pantheon Infrastructure Fund signals strong conviction in infrastructure assets, while multiple C-suite sales under 10b5-1 plans at Sea Ltd, Deere & Co, and Verizon suggest pre-planned but still notable profit-taking. The overwhelming theme is equity awards at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), where 19 executives—including the Chairman/CEO—received shares totaling ~500K+ units, reinforcing a long-term alignment culture. On the sell side, a Deere & Co president cashed out ~$1.9M, and a Watts Water director sold $518K, both material. On the buy side, RGC Resources and Granite Ridge Resources saw director purchases at modest levels, signaling local confidence. Period-over-period trends are limited in this batch, but the absence of forward-looking guidance changes across filings is notable—most activity is transactional, not directional. The key takeaway: infrastructure and energy attract insider capital, while tech and industrials see planned liquidation.
