The period balance: money in, money out

In the Form 4 filings submitted between Oct 3, 2025 and Oct 5, 2026 there is not one open-market purchase of Applied Materials, Inc.: 23 sales worth $180.6M and zero dollars bought.

Only codes P and S count, where an insider puts in or takes out their own money. A selling balance like Applied Materials, Inc.'s is the norm in the S&P 500, where much of the pay comes as stock. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell: it is what was filed.

Who has traded

Over the 15 months of history, 17 distinct people or entities have filed Applied Materials, Inc. transactions: none bought on the open market and 9 sold. Counted by CIK, the fixed number the SEC gives each filer, and not by name, which each filer types their own way.

Of the 9 who sold on the open market (23 sales in all), the three biggest sellers account for $157.1M of the $180.6M: 87% of the money in three people.

How to read this data

None of the 20 sales in the table is flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan), the kind signed months ahead and executed automatically. Applied Materials has no open-market purchase (code P) in the history, the most common case in the S&P 500: insiders are already paid in stock. The latest filing is from Oct 5, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.

19 of the 20 rows in the table carry footnotes from the Form 4 itself, folded into the code column and copied verbatim; a row with no footnote means the filing has none.
