Considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In the context of legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as outlined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Despite insider sells not always signaling a bearish sentiment, they can be driven by various factors.
<h3>Unlocking the Meaning of Transaction Codes</h3>

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
While insider transactions provide valuable information, they should be part of a broader analysis in making investment decisions.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Cracking Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Polaris <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45061142/polaris-inc-first-quarter-2025-financial-results-available-on-companys-website" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>a first-quarter adjusted loss of 90 cents per share, beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">street view of 91 cents loss</a>.

Primary factors affecting first-quarter sales were lower volume due to planned shipment reductions and lower net pricing driven by higher promotional spend.

&#8220;While consumer uncertainty and a dynamic tariff environment are near-term hurdles, we are thoughtfully navigating these challenges,&#8221; said Mike Speetzen, Chief Executive Officer of Polaris. However, the company noted minimal first-quarter tariff impact due to timing.
The adjusted gross profit margin of 16.6% decreased by 242 basis points, primarily due to higher promotional activity and negative foreign exchange.
Operating expenses were $303 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $313 million in the year-ago period.
Polaris exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $291.7 million and inventories of $1.748 billion.
Outlook: The company introduced second-quarter 2025 sales guidance of $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion versus the $1.820 billion estimate.
Polaris said it is withdrawing the full-year 2025 guidance due to trade and economic uncertainty.
Price Action: PII shares traded higher by 0.27% to $33.83&nbsp;on Tuesday.
