Top Insider Scores

Top Insider Scores displays the best stocks according to our IQ Score — a 0–99 measure of how strong and meaningful a company’s insider buying is, built from six components: the buying itself (including insider ownership and selling), sector strength, management’s own outlook, trading momentum, the caliber of the insiders buying, and share dilution — less a deduction for confirmed litigation. Only stocks with real analyst coverage appear here: every name below carries a published price target from at least 2 analysts. Anyone can preview the first six ranked names — no account needed. Insider Access counts the list down to #1.

How we rank Top Insider Scores

Stocks are ranked by our Insider Score, a 0–99 composite that weighs the dollar size of insider purchases relative to the company’s market cap, the number of distinct insiders buying (a cluster of buyers carries more signal than a lone trade), the seniority of the buyers’ roles (a CEO or CFO buy outweighs a director’s), and how much each insider grew their existing stake. A higher score is more bullish — even when the share price is falling — because it measures buying quality, not price momentum. Informational, not a trade recommendation.

FAQ

How does the IQ Score work?

It is a 0–99 composite of six weighted parts: the quality of the insider buying itself (45%), how strong the company's sector is right now (22%), the tone of management's own discussion in their latest filing (10%), how busy the stock's trading is versus normal (10%), the caliber of the insiders doing the buying (8%), and how much the company is diluting shareholders (5%) — minus a deduction of up to 15 points for confirmed litigation against the insiders. The buying part looks at purchase size against market cap, how many separate insiders bought, how senior they are, how much they grew their own stake, whether the stock trades below what they paid, how much of the company insiders own in total, and insider buying versus selling.

Why do some stocks with insider buying not appear here?

This list only includes companies with genuine analyst coverage — a published price target from at least 2 analysts. Plenty of scored companies have insider buying but no sell-side coverage, so there is no price target or upside to show. Those still appear in the full rankings, just not on this list.

Does a high IQ Score mean the stock will go up?

No. The score measures the quality and conviction of insider buying, not price direction. A company can score highly while its share price falls — that is by design, since insiders often buy into weakness. It is one input for research, not a recommendation to buy or sell.

How often is the list updated?

Insider filings are ingested from SEC EDGAR continuously — companies must report an open-market purchase within two business days — and scores are recalculated daily. Prices and analyst targets refresh throughout the trading day.
