AAPL insider transactions
Officers, directors and 10% owners must tell the SEC when they buy or sell Apple stock, within two business days. These are the most recent, straight from EDGAR.
I read the 8 insider filings below, filed between Sep 29 and Oct 5, 2026, all on Form 4. Each one is about Apple stock and links to the original on EDGAR. They name 5 insiders: 5 officers. Of the filings, 4 report an open-market sale, 4 an option exercise, 4 shares withheld for tax, and 1 a gift (some filings report more than one type). None of the 4 filings reporting a sale also reports an option exercise by the same person on the same trade date. Apple's SEC record shows its latest 10-K filed Oct 31, 2025, its latest 10-Q Jul 31, 2026, and its latest 8-K Jul 30, 2026.

Transaction wording follows the code on the filing itself — what each Form 4 code means. An option exercise or a tax withholding is not a market decision, and is not shown as one.
- Form 4 — An insider bought or sold company stock

Reading these accurately
A Form 4 records what happened, precisely and on the record — it has no field for why. A sale can be scheduled months in advance under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, and vesting and option exercises appear alongside open-market decisions. The fuller version is in what insider buying and selling actually signals; to look up any other company, use the insider filing tracker.
