📉 Insiders Buying After Price Drops
Price-dip buying fires when an insider purchases shares after the stock has already fallen 10–60% from a recent high. Buying into a decline — with personal money, after the bad news is public — is a different, often stronger signal than routine buying at a 52-week high.

Why buying into weakness is informative
Anyone can buy a stock that's going up. Buying after a meaningful decline requires an insider to conclude that the market has overreacted, or that the underlying business is worth more than the current price implies — a judgment made with material non-public context about the actual operating picture, not just the headline that moved the stock.
Detection methodology
InsidersAlpha flags a purchase as a price-dip buy when the stock has fallen between 10% and 60% from its recent high at the time of the transaction. The 60% cap excludes cases likely caused by stock splits, spin-offs, or delisting-adjacent situations rather than a genuine drawdown. Grants and non-market-price acquisitions are excluded.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as a "price dip" for this signal?
A share price decline of 10% to 60% from a recent high, measured at the time of the insider's purchase. Declines beyond 60% are excluded since they are more likely to reflect a stock split, spin-off, or data anomaly than a genuine drawdown.
Is buying the dip always a bullish signal?
It is one input, not a guarantee. A stock can keep falling after an insider buys, and insiders are not always right. It is best read alongside other signals — cluster buying or executive buying after a dip is a stronger combination than a price-dip buy alone.
How is the price decline measured?
Against the stock's own recent trading history at the time of the transaction, using daily closing prices. This is calculated automatically for every covered company, not self-reported by the insider.
Other insider signals
InsidersAlpha tracks several distinct insider trading signals. They can fire independently or in combination — co-occurrence of multiple signals on the same transaction is associated with higher conviction.
