The period balance: money in, money out
In the Form 4 filings submitted between Aug 27, 2025 and Oct 1, 2026 there is not one open-market purchase of Freeport-McMoRan Inc.: 13 sales worth $46.0M 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 Freeport-McMoRan 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, 15 distinct people or entities have filed Freeport-McMoRan Inc. transactions: none bought on the open market and 6 sold. Counted by CIK, the fixed number the SEC gives each filer, and not by name, which each filer types their own way.

How to read this data
None of the 13 sales in the table is flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan), the kind signed months ahead and executed automatically. Freeport-McMoRan 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 1, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.
16 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.
