Stocks With Heavy Insider Buying Last Week

In terms of sheer size, though, Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPRT) takes the cake. Multiple Form 4 filings with the SEC recently revealed several purchases made by Willis J. Johnson, Chairman of the Board, and John Lindle, the Special VP of Strategic Growth for the company. The former, who originally founded Copart and served as its CEO between 1982 and 2010, bought more than $20 million worth of Copart stock in four separate transactions over the past two weeks. The total value of Johnson’s reported position in Copart now exceeds $240 million and comprises a stake of more than 7% in the company. Lindle, meanwhile, owns a little under $500,000 worth of shares following his latest move.

TriQuint Semiconductor (NASDAQ:TQNT) is another name with some insider buying activity surrounding it. The RF technology company has seen its shares pop 4% over the past week in step with VP Timothy Dunn’s reveal that he bought 10,000 shares of TriQuint stock at $4.55 in late February. Dunn’s dated disclosure indicates that he’s made an 86% gain on the trade in a little under eight months. Fellow insider Todd Debonis also reported that he now owns over 18,000 shares of TriQuint valued at close to $160,000.
