The strongest recent filing
Weiler Melissa (Director) bought 5,461 shares of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. on Mar 26, 2026, a filing that scored 93 (Strong). It scored Strong because several insiders moved the same way within a week and it was direct personal ownership. The score describes the filing, not future returns. This is not investment advice.
Cluster activity
A cluster buy is present: 8 insiders (Weiler Melissa, O Kane Michael T, Katz Jacob M, JONES THOMAS W) traded JEF the same direction within a 7-day window. Shared conviction is a stronger structural signal than a lone trade.
How this compares with Jefferies Financial Group Inc.'s own history
Open-market buys make up 92% of the 48 scoreable JEF transactions on record between Nov 26, 2025 and Aug 28, 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
Scores come from six published, user-adjustable factors (insider role, cluster activity, trade size versus the insider's own history, position impact, filing urgency, and direct versus indirect ownership). The score describes the filing, not future returns. This is not investment advice.
