Cluster activity
A cluster buy is present: 9 insiders (Noto Anthony, YANG GEOFFREY Y, Waugh Seth H., Friedman Alexander S) traded BEN the same direction within a 7-day window. Shared conviction is a stronger structural signal than a lone trade.

Open-market buys make up 74% of the 53 scoreable BEN transactions on record between Oct 25, 2025 and Oct 19, 2026. Comparing a filing with the company's own buy/sell mix is how you tell a routine disposal from an unusual accumulation.
Methodology and sources
