5 of 6 listed 2026 trades were purchases
6 trades appear across the listed quarters of 2026: one in Q1, three in Q2 and two in Q3. Q1 had no buys, all three Q2 trades were buys, and Q3 was split between one buy and one non-buy. The other listed quarters show two buys in 2025 Q1, no buys in 2025 Q3 or 2024 Q4, one buy in 2024 Q3, and three buys in 2024 Q1. These quarterly slices are small samples and do not cover every quarter in the full 2020–2026 tracking period.
2 buyers overlap in each of six other stocks
2 of the EL buyers also bought each of ADI, GOOGL, IFNNY, META, AJG and TER. The supplied data does not identify which two buyers correspond to each ticker, so the overlap cannot be attributed more specifically.
Disclosures can be filed up to 45 days after a transaction, meaning reported activity may not reflect current positioning. Transaction amounts are generally disclosed as ranges, so any dollar-value totals derived from them are estimates. The six-trader base and several one- to three-trade quarterly counts are small samples.
