<h3>Uncovering the Importance of Insider Activity</h3>
While insider transactions provide valuable information, they should be part of a broader analysis in making investment decisions.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Essential Transaction Codes Unveiled</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 Preview Of Acme United's Earnings

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Acme United (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACU#AMEX">ACU</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Wednesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 15 cents per share. On Thursday, Acme United will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 15 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Thursday. Shareholders who own ACU as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 15 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on January 26, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
