 3 Insider Purchases on May 14: What Signals for Small Business Insiders (CEOs, directors, major shareholders) buy shares of their own companies only in one case — when they are confident the price will rise. On May 14, 2026, three notable purchases were recorded. I break down what this means for a small business owner considering investments. 1. Okta (OKTA) — Cybersecurity Insiders are increasing their positions in Okta. The company is a leader in identity and access management. For small businesses, this is a signal: demand for data protection is growing. If you have an online service or work with client data, cybersecurity will only become more expensive. Insiders are betting that Okta will benefit from this trend. 2. Abbott Laboratories (ABT) — Healthcare Over the past 3 months, two Abbott insiders purchased shares worth about $3.1 million. Abbott is a healthcare giant (diagnostics, devices, medications). Signal: in any economy, healthcare remains a stable sector. Small business owners should look at companies whose products/services are in demand regardless of crises. 3. Republic Services (RSG) — Waste Management and Environmental Services RSG insiders are buying regularly, week after week. Republic Services is the second-largest waste collection and recycling company in the U.S. Signal: "boring" monopoly businesses with stable cash flow provide returns without volatility. Lesson for small businesses: look for niches with recurring subscriptions and low competition. Why is this important for you? Insiders have information not available in the news. They buy with their own money — not corporate funds. Tracking such deals manually means hours of work with SEC forms. ASI Biont analyzes insider trades in seconds.
