GOOGL insider transactions
Officers, directors and 10% owners must tell the SEC when they buy or sell Alphabet stock, within two business days. These are the most recent, straight from EDGAR.
I read the 8 insider filings below, filed between Sep 16 and Oct 2, 2026, all on Form 4. Each one is about Alphabet stock and links to the original on EDGAR. They name 7 insiders: 1 director and 6 officers. Of the filings, 1 reports an open-market sale, 6 shares withheld for tax, and 1 a grant or award. That filing does not also report an option exercise by the same person on the same trade date. Alphabet's SEC record shows its latest 10-K filed Feb 5, 2026, its latest 10-Q Jul 23, 2026, and its latest 8-K Aug 10, 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.
