Frank E. Walsh III is Director at ACACIA RESEARCH CORP (ACTG). They have made 10 open-market trades across 1 company since 2016, most recently 2018-06-29.
Unrated. We grade insiders only on stock they chose to buy on the open market. Grants, option exercises and vesting say nothing about timing, so they don't count — which is why someone can file often and still have no grade. It isn't a bad sign: unrated buys beat every graded tier below A.
10 open-market purchases totalling $1.7M since 2016, never a sale. Across 10 scored buys the stock is up 12.6% at ninety days, and 7.7 points ahead of the S&P over the same stretch.
