Some institutional investors establish a significant position in stocks such as Verizon Communications in order to find ways to drive up its value. Retail investors, on the other hand, need to know that institutional holders can own millions of shares of Verizon Communications, and when they decide to sell, the stock will often sell-off, which may instantly impact shareholders' value. So, traders who get in early or near the beginning of the institutional investor's buying cycle could potentially generate profits.

Verizon Communications Insider Trading Activities

Some recent studies suggest that insider trading raises the cost of capital for securities issuers and decreases overall economic growth. Trading by specific Verizon Communications insiders, such as employees or executives, is commonly permitted as long as it does not rely on Verizon Communications' 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 Verizon Communications insiders are required to file a Form 4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when buying or selling shares of their own companies.
