How to read this data
15 of the 16 sales in the table are flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan): signed months ahead and executed automatically, so they say nothing about what the insider thinks today. VeriSign's 4 open-market purchases (code P) are the rare signal: insiders are already paid in stock, so buying more means putting in their own money. The latest filing is from Oct 14, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.
17 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.

- Who really moves the market: the types of investorWho sits on the other side of each order, and where a company's own insiders fit among them.
- Supply, demand and price: why it rises and falls constantlyHow a piece of news ends up inside the price, and why the reaction to a filed sale is rarely the one you would expect.
