๐Ÿ‘€ Spooky share size for MBX

Director Patrick J. Heron recently purchased 666,666 shares of MBX Biosciences stock at $18.00 per share, totaling almost $12 million....

Good afternoon and happy Sunday! Here is a quick market rundown and an โ€˜insideโ€™ peek behind the curtains of what C-Level Execs, Wall St. Hedge Fund Gurus, and politicians are trading right nowโ€ฆ!

๐Ÿ“Š Market Recap โ€” Week Ending Oct 3, 2025

  • S&P 500: +0.1% (touching fresh highs)

  • Dow Jones: +0.5% to +0.7%

  • Nasdaq Composite: โ€“0.3%, pressured a bit by rotation away from some high-beta names

  • Russell 2000 / Small Caps: underperformed, with flows favoring large caps

Despite a federal government shutdown delaying key data releases (e.g. the monthly jobs report), markets shrugged and pushed higher โ€” tech and AI names carried the show.

๐Ÿ” Key Drivers

๐Ÿง  AI & Tech Still Leading

Semiconductors and AI-related plays got renewed attention (thanks to OpenAIโ€™s latest developments), providing the primary upside fuel.

๐Ÿ“‰ Bond Yields & Labor Weakness

Treasury yields nudged lower, especially after dismal private job data (ADP) raised hopes for Fed rate easing.

๐Ÿ”„ Large-Cap Rotation & Fund Flows

U.S. equity funds saw sizable inflows (~$36.4B net) this week, largely into large-cap names. Small and mid-cap funds saw modest outflows.

๐Ÿšช Shutdown, Data Gaps & Sentiment

With the government shuttered, scheduled economic releases were delayed. That ambiguity nudged traders to lean hard on forward signals (earnings, insider activity).

๐Ÿ•ด Insider Trades to Watch

Here are standout insider transactions (i.e. in U.S. equities, sizable value or share volume) from the week:

โœ… Top Insider Buys (U.S. Stocks)

  • ADCAgree โ€“ Joey Agree, President & CEO
    Bought 3,528 shares at ~$70.63 โ€” buys like this in U.S. mid-caps speak of conviction.

  • PEPG (PepGen Inc.) โ€“ Director
    Bought 9,375,000 shares at ~$3.20 (โ‰ˆ $30M) โ€” huge, high-leverage move in a U.S. small cap.

  • MBX Biosciences โ€“ Director
    Acquired 666,666 shares at $18.00 ($12M) โ€” one of the more liquid, mid-tier biotech bets.

โŒ Top Insider Sells (U.S. Stocks)

  • NVIDIA โ€“ Jensen Huang (CEO)
    Sold 75,000 shares at ~$189.32 (~$14.2M) via a 10b5-1 plan. Still, when the top exec sells into strength, itโ€™s a signal to note.

  • VST (Vista Energy Services) โ€“ James Burke (CEO / Officer)
    Sold ~21,371 shares (~$4.3M) in recent filings. U.S. energy / services names like this often reflect trimming at peaks.

  • Roku โ€“ Charles Collier (President / Officer)
    Sold 112,961 shares at $105.00 (~$11.86M) โ€” a liquid tech name, so moves are more visible.

โœ… Why It Matters

  • Liquid buys (PEPG, MBX, ADCAgree) show insiders committing real capital in U.S. stocks that arenโ€™t just mumblings โ€” these are bets you can (to some degree) follow.

  • Liquid sells in mega names (NVIDIA, Roku) often hint at taking profits or resetting exposure โ€” not necessarily negatives, but worth noting when timing is key.
