Analysis of eligible SEC Form 4 activity for BDX indicates a bearish 30-day signal. The selected window contains transactions from 5 distinct reporting insiders, with aggregate nominal activity of $15.73M.
Open-market purchases minus open-market sales produce a negative net flow of $1.21M. Compensation-related awards and option exercises represent more nominal activity than directional open-market trades, so the signal should be interpreted cautiously.
The largest open-market sale in the selected window was attributed to Polen Thomas E Jr (Director, Chairman, CEO and President). Form 4 activity provides useful ownership context, but it should not be treated as a standalone prediction of future price performance.
