Industry Rankings
Industry Rankings
This section highlights which industries
show the most insider activity in the
accumulation or distribution of stock.
We use the S&P industry categories and
rank the buy side (accumulating) first,
then neutrals (equal amount of buying
and selling) and finally sell side
(disposing). The sector ranking is
simply the difference between all buyers
and sellers across the entire industry
(not just the S&P 500) for the last 90
days. We provide both this weeks ranking
and last weeks ranking for comparison
purposes.
