Delving Into the Significance of Insider Transactions
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
Within the legal framework, an “insider” is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company’s equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
A Closer Look at Important Transaction Codes
Examining transactions, investors often concentrate on those unfolding in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

New Open Space Institute Study Reveals New York State Parks Are Integral to Healthy Communities
New York, NY, Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Open Space Institute (OSI) today issued “The Centennial Pulse of the Parks: State Park Visitor Insights and Recommendations for the Next Century.” The new report, produced from a major study conducted throughout the state, analyzes visitor demographics, experiences, and recreation trends, and demonstrates the tremendous value of state parks and the many ways that they positively impact people and communities. The report’s findings also reveal continued challenges, highlighting the critical need for continued investment in the state park system. Access the full report here.
Major themes revealed by the study include:
- State parks are integral to the fabric of communities throughout New York, enabling people to build meaningful connections with nature and with each other;
- Visitors appreciate recent and ongoing capital investments and improvements in state parks; and
- State parks are worthy of sustained investment—both for current visitors and for generations to come.
Based on the results of the study, the report makes the following recommendations:
- Continue and increase capital and operational investments for state parks;
- Broaden services and amenities to better engage and welcome diverse communities in state parks;
- Accelerate land acquisition, state park creation, and innovative state park development projects to accommodate a growing constituency of visitors and protect important open spaces; and
- Expand programs and amenities that improve access to nature for children and families.
“OSI is proud to share this comprehensive statewide study in celebration of the system’s Centennial anniversary,” said Kathy Moser, OSI’s Chief Conservation and Policy Officer. “This report is a key part of OSI’s ongoing commitment to expanding and improving state parks and making these spaces more welcoming and accessible for all. We believe that the information and recommendations in the report will help our partners at New York State Parks advance their excellent work by strategically investing in state park development, programming, and amenities to accommodate a growing and increasingly diverse audience of state park visitors.
State Parks Commissioner Pro Tempore Randy Simons said, “We are grateful to the Open Space Institute for this comprehensive statewide study. Not only has our Centennial been an exciting celebration, it’s been an opportunity to look back at our history and look forward to our future to better understand what the New York State park system means to our citizens. This detailed input from our visitors will better serve our regular parkgoers and to encourage new and diverse visitors to experience what our parks and historic sites have to offer. We are excited to be working with our partners to make the state park system even better in the next century.”
“The Natural Heritage Trust is proud to have partnered with OSI and OPRHP on the development of the Centennial Pulse of the Parks study which demonstrates the powerful impact of the state park system on the well-being and health of communities across New York. We look forward to our continued work together on behalf of the programs and projects that ensure the park system is welcoming and accessible to all,” said Sally Drake, Executive Director, Natural Heritage Trust (NHT).
In 2023, OSI commissioned a statewide survey of visitors, which assessed recreation and demographic trends from 2,600 visitors at 22 representative New York state parks. The parks were selected across five key regions: Western New York, Central New York, the Hudson Valley and Capital District, New York City and Long Island, and Thousand Islands. More than 116 participants also participated in semi-structured interviews with researchers, sharing deeper insights into individual and group experiences at state parks. Data was collected from mid-July through early September 2023, when park attendance is typically at its highest.
The report was produced in collaboration with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) and the Natural Heritage Trust (NHT), and with the research expertise of the Public Space Research Group. Results from the report will help inform future priorities for state park programs, amenities, improvements, and marketing efforts.
Over the past 50 years, OSI has helped OPRHP add nearly 40,000 acres to its park system, increasing the acreage of the state park system by 10 percent. Over the past decade, OSI has invested millions of private dollars for new and upgraded trails and trailheads, visitor centers, restored carriage roads, and other amenities and enhancements at state parks, in partnership and coordination with New York State agencies.
The “Centennial Pulse of the Parks” report builds on OSI’s ongoing research and advocacy initiatives to support continued investment in New York’s state parks and public lands. From 2013 to 2015, OSI published the initial “Pulse of the Parks” series – a collection of seven reports analyzing visitor demographics, user experiences, and economic impacts at select New York state parks. These reports successfully communicated the value of six individual state parks and demonstrated the need for investments in the state park system to state leadership and policymakers.
The Centennial study and report were funded and developed by OSI in partnership with OPRHP and NHT. This project was made possible with the generous support of the Samuel Freeman Charitable Trust, Overhills Foundation, The New York Community Trust, and other private donors.

Shytoshi Kusama Touts Shiba Inu Lifetime Gains Of 33774726%: 'We Still Have Far To Go And Much Work To Be Done'
Shytoshi Kusama, the mysterious lead of the Shiba Inu SHIB/USD ecosystem, highlighted the coin’s impressive growth since its launch and the work ahead to gain further recognition.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Kusama took to X to talk about the SHIB’s lifetime growth, which stood at a staggering 33,774,726.7% from its all-time low, higher than those of Dogecoin DOGE/USD, Solana SOL/USD, and Binance Coin BNB/USD.
The pseudonymous personality added that this wasn’t enough and efforts were in place to further enhance the ecosystem.
“So, don’t ignore Shib. Or do, until you can no longer,” Kusama said, pointing toward critics.
See Also: MSTR Vs. RIOT Vs. COIN: Which Crypto Stock Stands Out Ahead Of Q3 Earnings?
Why It Matters: Kusama’s post comes in the wake of a broader cryptocurrency market rally that witnessed Bitcoin BTC/USD come within touching distance of a new all-time high.
SHIB, the second-largest meme coin by market capitalization, has gained 83% this year, exceeding SOL’s spike of 77% but trailed behind DOGE and BNB, which were up 95% and 92%, respectively.
The people at the helm of affairs have been making attempts at transforming Shiba Inu into a serious decentralized blockchain project.
Recently, Shiba Inu announced a partnership with Mass, a financial solutions company, to build the finance layer of its ambitious “Shiba State.”
Price Action: At the time of writing, Shiba Inu was exchanging hands at $0.00001901, up 2,60% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Altrio Launches First Unified Deal Execution Platform For Commercial Real Estate Brokers
TORONTO, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Altrio, provider of Origin, the world’s leading real estate deal management software platform, is excited to announce the launch of a new version of Origin designed for investment sales and mortgage brokers.
Commercial real estate brokers have long relied on fragmented systems, manual workflows, and siloed information to manage complex transactions, with no way to support the many phases and facets of a real estate transaction in a single integrated system — until now.
A New Era for Commercial Real Estate Brokers
To outperform the competition, brokers rely on deep market knowledge, access to the right buyers, and the ability to provide exceptional client service. However, they are too often forced to rely on spreadsheets and cobbled together systems to manage critical data and stay on top of deal execution.
Origin changes the game by empowering brokers with a unified system that covers every stage of deal execution. By combining Pipeline Tracking, CRM, Market Data Management and Digital Deal Marketing, capabilities typically found in multiple point solutions, Origin gives brokers an unprecedented opportunity to simplify their workflows and centralize key data.
Designed in collaboration with leading institutional brokerage teams, Origin’s automation features allow brokers to track and execute every aspect of their deals in a single integrated platform, improving efficiency and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
The Future of Real Estate Capital Markets
“At Altrio, we see a future in which investors, lenders, brokers and sponsors execute deals online, not via email,” said Altrio CEO, Raj Singh. “We’re giving brokers a single platform to manage their business, end-to-end, allowing them to focus on building strong client relationships and getting deals done instead of getting bogged down by administrative tasks and data wrangling.”
About Altrio
Altrio is a leading global provider of software, data and services to real estate capital markets professionals. The company’s data-driven deal management platform, Origin, helps investors, lenders, brokers and sponsors harness proprietary and market data, automate business processes and close deals faster. Altrio was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Toronto, Canada. For more information, visit altrio.com.

Fosun Pharma Announces 2024Q3 Financial Results
Revenue Exceed RMB30.9 Billion with R&D Expenditure RMB3.9 Billion
Continuing to Consolidate its Dominant Position In The fields of Breast Cancer and Lung Cancer
SHANGHAI, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On October 29, Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., Ltd. (“Fosun Pharma” or “the Group”; Stock Code: 600196.SH; 02196.HK), announced its operating performance for the first three quarters of 2024. From January to September 2024, Fosun Pharma achieved revenue of RMB30.91 billion, an increase of about 5.74% YoY after excluding COVID-related products. The net profit attributable to owners of the parent of the Group after deducting extraordinary gain or loss amounted to RMB1.84 billion, up by 24.58% YoY.
In 2024, Fosun Pharma will further focus on innovative drugs and high-value devices, and continue to promote lean operations, cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and asset rationalization to optimize assets and financial structure, actively promote supply chain management and operational efficiency, and achieve healthy operating cash flow. In the first three quarters of 2024, the net cash flow from operating activities of Fosun Pharma was RMB2.99 billion, a year-on-year increase of 21.33%; the management expense ratio decreased by 0.15 percentage points YoY; excluding the impact of newly acquired companies, management expenses decreased by approximately RMB300 million on the same basis.
Focusing on advantageous therapeutic areas with innovative R&D pipelines continue to advance
In terms of innovative R&D, Fosun Pharma continues to focus on advantageous pipelines to achieve efficient results and continuous implementation of innovative products. In the first three quarters of 2024, Fosun Pharma’s R&D expenditure totaled RMB3.92 billion. In particular, R&D expenses were RMB2.65 billion. In addition to independent R&D, the Group fully implemented an open R&D model, and incubated and invested in R&D projects by initiating/managing industrial funds and other diversified ways, so as to ensure the sustainability of innovation and R&D.
Fosun Pharma’s innovative drug business mainly covers the core therapeutic areas of solid tumors, hematological tumors and immuno-inflammatory diseases, with emphasis on the enhancement of the core technology platforms of antibody/ADCs, cellular therapy and small molecules, to create an open and global innovative R&D system, continuously enhance pipeline value, and promote the development and commercialization of its products.
In the field of tumor immunotherapy, on September 13, 2024, Fosun Pharma announced it will acquire the 50% stake in Fosun Kite and will wholly own Fosun Kite (now renamed as “Fosun Kairos”). In the future, Fosun Kairos will serve as the core platform of Fosun Pharma’s cell therapy, continue to focus on the field of tumor immunotherapy, as well as to promote the development and commercialization of existing licensed products, Axi-Cel (i.e. Fosun Kite’s marketed product “Yi Kai Da”) and Brexu-Cel (i.e. Fosun Kite’s pipeline project FKC889), in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR with Kite Pharma.
In the third quarter of 2024, Fosun Pharma’s multiple independently developed innovative products and pipeline clinical trial results were announced in industry conferences and journals, further consolidating its dominant position in the fields of hematological tumors, breast cancer, lung cancer and other tumors. Particularly, the interim analysis results of the Phase III study of Foritinib Succinate (SAF-189s), an innovative drug independently developed to treat ALK-positiveb advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), were released during the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (“WCLC”). The above-mentioned studies have found that the overall efficacy of Foritinib Succinate is good. Compared with crizotinib treatment, it can significantly improve PFS and reduce the risk of CNS progression. Its safety is controllable, and no new safety signals appeared after treatment. Faritinib Succinate is expected to break through the current clinical difficulties faced in the treatment of ALK-positive NSCLC and bring new treatment options to NSCLC patients.
The multicenter real-world study of Fosun Pharma’s self-developed serplulimab-based immunochemotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer was released at the 2024 WCLC. The ASTRUM-005R study provides additional empirical evidence to support the therapeutic value of serplulimab plus chemotherapy and complements the pivotal data from the ASTRUM-005 clinical trial. Additionally, during the reporting period, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) issued a positive opinion recommending approval for Fosun Pharma’s self-developed serplulimab injection in combination with carboplatin and etoposide for the first-line treatment of adult patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The CHMP’s opinion will be submitted to the European Commission (EC) as a reference for marketing authorization approval.
Results of the phase 2 study of HLX22, an innovative anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb), in combination with Han Qu You (trastuzumab) and chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of HER2-positive advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer were presented on 2024 ESMO Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress (ESMO GI) and MED, a flagship clinical and translational research monthly journal by Cell Press. The results showed that add HLX22 to HLX02 (trastuzumab) and chemotherapy as first-line therapy improved efficacy in HER2-positive G/GEJ cancer patients with manageable safety.
In September 2024, Fosun Pharma announced the Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for the licensed product RT002 (DaxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm, Chinese trademark: 达希斐®) for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity in adult patients, was approved by the National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”), becoming the first DaxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm approved for marketing in Chinese mainland. Additionally, the results of a Phase III multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in China for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines were published in the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery (JPRAS). The study demonstrates that the product provides durable efficacy and high safety in Chinese patients with moderate to severe glabellar lines.

Fosun Pharma, a company listed on both the A-share and H-share markets, and its controlling shareholder Fosun High Tech have actively engaged in share repurchases and increased holdings this year, demonstrating confidence in the Company’s future development and further boosting market confidence. In the first three quarters of 2024, Fosun Pharma spent approximately RMB127 million and approximately HKD66.9 million to repurchase around 5.68 million A shares and 5.47 million H shares respectively.

Google Bought YouTube For $1.65B And Now It Prints $50B In Revenue Just In 1 Year — Sundar Pichai Says Alphabet 'Leaning Into The Living Room Experience'
YouTube, the video platform Google acquired for $1.65 billion in 2006, has generated $50 billion in combined advertising and subscription revenue over the past four quarters, marking a milestone in its evolution from a user-generated content site to a major streaming player.
What Happened: The achievement, announced during Alphabet Inc.‘s GOOGL GOOG third-quarter earnings call, reflects YouTube’s successful expansion into premium services and living room entertainment, competing directly with traditional television and streaming services.
“Together, YouTube TV, NFL Sunday Ticket and YouTube Music Premium are driving subscription growth for the platform,” said Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company. “We are leaning into the living room experience with multi-view and a new option for creators to organize content into episodes and seasons, similar to traditional TV.”
The platform has secured its position as the leading streaming service in the United States, according to Nielsen data. Philipp Schindler, Google’s chief business officer, reported that creators optimizing content for television viewing are seeing significant returns, with the number of creators earning the majority of their YouTube revenue from TV screens increasing by more than 30% year-over-year.
Sports content has emerged as a key growth driver. The platform’s Olympics coverage garnered over 12 billion views, with 850 million unique viewers watching more than 40 billion minutes of content.
Notably, 35% of Olympic content was viewed on television screens, highlighting YouTube’s successful transition to larger formats.

Why It Matters: The platform’s advertising business has also shown strong momentum, with upfront advertising commitments increasing approximately 20% year-over-year, according to Schindler.
These results contributed to Alphabet’s strong quarterly performance, with the company reporting overall revenue of $88.27 billion, a 15% increase year-over-year, exceeding Wall Street expectations of $86.31 billion.
Looking ahead, YouTube plans to integrate Google DeepMind‘s video generation model into YouTube Shorts later this year, furthering its investment in artificial intelligence and creator tools.
Price Action: Alphabet Inc Class A shares closed at $169.68 on Tuesday, up 1.78% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose by an additional 5.80%. Alphabet Inc Class C shares ended the day at $171.14, climbing 1.66%. After hours, the stock advanced a further 5.89%. Year to date, Alphabet Class C shares have risen by 22.63%, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes certain key performance metrics and financial measures not based on GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and free cash flow, as well as operating metrics, including GMV, active buyers, spend per buyer and take rate. Some amounts in this release may not total due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.
We define each of our non-GAAP measures of financial performance, as the respective GAAP balances shown in the above tables, adjusted for, as applicable, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, contingent consideration revaluation, acquisition related costs and other, income taxes, amortization of discount and issuance costs of convertible note, financial (income) expenses, net. Non-GAAP gross profit margin represents non-GAAP gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by GAAP weighted-average number of ordinary shares basic and diluted. We use free cash flow as a liquidity measure and define it as a net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
We define GMV or Gross Merchandise Value as the total value of transactions ordered through our platform, excluding value added tax, goods and services tax, service chargebacks and refunds. Active buyers on any given date is defined as buyers who have ordered a Gig or other services on our platform within the last 12-month period, irrespective of cancellations. Spend per buyer on any given date is calculated by dividing our GMV within the last 12-month period by the number of active buyers as of such date. Take rate is revenue for any such period divided by GMV for the same period.
Management and our board of directors use certain metrics as supplemental measures of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. We also use these metrics for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections, to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and capital expenditures and to evaluate our capacity to expand our business. In addition, we believe that free cash flow, which we use as a liquidity measure, is useful in evaluating our business because free cash flow reflects the cash surplus available or used to fund the expansion of our business after the payment of capital expenditures relating to the necessary components of ongoing operations. Capital expenditures consist primarily of property and equipment purchases and capitalized software costs.
Free cash flow should not be used as an alternative to, or superior to, cash from operating activities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as well as operating metrics, including GMV, active buyers, spend per buyer and take rate should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or superior to net income (loss), revenue, cash flows or other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. These metrics are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP metrics is an appropriate measure of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of expenses that do not relate directly to the performance of our underlying business.
These non-GAAP metrics should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or other items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP metrics used herein are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not reflect our tax payments and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future, including, among other things, cash requirements for costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP metrics as supplemental measures of our performance. Our measure of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and other non-GAAP metrics used herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.
See the tables above regarding reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
We are not able to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and long term to net income (loss), the nearest comparable GAAP measure, because certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin cannot be reasonably predicted or are not in our control. In particular, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, we are unable to forecast the timing or magnitude of share based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, impairment of intangible assets, income or loss on revaluation of contingent consideration, other acquisition-related costs, convertible notes amortization of discount and issuance costs and exchange rate income or loss, in each case, as applicable without unreasonable efforts, and these items could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, GAAP measures in the future.
