Monitoring Apple's insider sentiment can offer insights into its future performance, as insiders often have access to more information about their company's operations, financial health, and upcoming initiatives than the general public. However, it's essential to note that insider trading is regulated by securities laws, and insiders are required to disclose their trades publicly to ensure transparency and prevent unfair advantages based on non-public information.

Acquired vs Disposed

Filed vs Not Filed

Insider sentiment refers to the collective sentiment or feeling of Apple's insiders - typically its officers, directors, and beneficial owners holding more than a certain percentage of the company's stock - about the future prospects of Apple Inc. This sentiment is often gauged based on the trading activities of these insiders. If insiders are purchasing more shares of their own company, it may be interpreted as a bullish sentiment, indicating that they believe Apple's stock will rise in value. Conversely, if insiders are selling shares, it might be seen as bearish, suggesting they expect the stock price to drop.

Apple Insider Trading History

Some recent studies suggest that insider trading raises the cost of capital for securities issuers and decreases overall economic growth. Trading by specific Apple insiders, such as employees or executives, is commonly permitted as long as it does not rely on Apple's material information that is not in the public domain. Local jurisdictions usually require such trading to be reported in order to monitor insider transactions. In many U.S. states, trading conducted by corporate officers, key employees, directors, or significant shareholders must be reported to the regulator or publicly disclosed, usually within a few business days of the trade. In these cases, Apple insiders must file a Form 4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when buying or selling shares of their own companies.

The market value of Apple Inc is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Apple that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Apple's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Apple's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Apple's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Apple's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Apple's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Apple is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Apple's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
