How to read this data
None of the 2 sales in the table is flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan), the kind signed months ahead and executed automatically. Stanley Black & Decker 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 Sep 24, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.
18 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.
