Some institutional investors establish a significant position in stocks such as Equifax in order to find ways to drive up its value. Retail investors, on the other hand, need to know that institutional holders can own millions of shares of Equifax, and when they decide to sell, the stock will often sell-off, which may instantly impact shareholders' value.

Equifax Insider Trades History

Less than 1% of Equifax are currently held by insiders. Unlike Equifax's institutional investors, corporate insiders most likely have a limit on the maximum percentage of share ownership.

The good rule to have in mind is that the maximum share ownership percentage of the corporate insiders should not surpass 25%. View all of Equifax's insider trades

Equifax Insider Trading Activities

Some recent studies suggest that insider trading raises the cost of capital for securities issuers and decreases overall economic growth. Trading by specific Equifax insiders, such as employees or executives, is commonly permitted as long as it does not rely on Equifax's material information that is not in the public domain. Local jurisdictions usually require such trading to be reported in order to monitor insider transactions. In many U.S. states, trading conducted by corporate officers, key employees, directors, or significant shareholders must be reported to the regulator or publicly disclosed, usually within a few business days of the trade. In these cases Equifax insiders are required to file a Form 4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when buying or selling shares of their own companies.
