<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
While insider transactions should not be the sole basis for making investment decisions, they can play a significant role in an investor's decision-making process.
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>Deciphering Transaction Codes in Insider Filings</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.

Brunswick Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BC#NYSE">BC</a>) reported fourth-quarter financial results before the market open on Thursday. Here&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43330764/brunswick-corporation-releases-2024-fourth-quarter-full-year-earnings">rundown of the report</a>.

</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q4 Adjusted EPS: 24 cents, versus estimates of 21 cents</li>
</ul>
Brunswick ended the quarter with $286.7 million in cash and marketable securities, down $193 million from the end of 2023.
&#8220;We had a very solid finish to 2024 characterized by significant cash generation in the fourth quarter, further outboard engine market share gains, successful new product launches, and optimal operating performance in the circumstances, all of which enabled us to conclude full-year 2024 slightly ahead of our recent expectations,&#8221; said David Foulkes, CEO of Brunswick.
Outlook: Brunswick expects first-quarter revenue to be between $1 billion and $1.2 billion versus estimates of $1.27 billion. The marine recreation company expects first-quarter adjusted earnings to be between 15 cents and 25 cents per share versus estimates of $1.08 per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Brunswick sees full-year 2025 revenue in the range of $5.2 billion to $5.6 billion versus estimates of $5.28 billion. The company expects full-year 2025 adjusted earnings of $3.50 to $5.0 per share versus estimates of $5.14 per share.
&#8220;2025 has the potential to be a year of steadily easing financial conditions, and while we enter the year with a cautious outlook, particularly for the first quarter, we have already launched many new products across our businesses and we remain extremely focused on delivering steady free cash flow and resilient EPS, and driving continued strong shareholder returns,&#8221; the company said.
