The strongest recent filing
Cherry Pedro P. (President) sold 4,237 shares of SOUTHERN CO on Feb 11, 2026, a filing that scored 94 (Strong). It scored Strong because a senior insider was trading and several insiders moved the same way within a week. The score describes the filing, not future returns. This is not investment advice.
Cluster activity
A cluster buy is present: 13 insiders (WOMACK CHRISTOPHER C, Kerr, II James Y, Kim Matthew M., Cherry Pedro P.) traded SO the same direction within a 7-day window. Shared conviction is a stronger structural signal than a lone trade.
How this compares with SOUTHERN CO's own history
Open-market buys make up 41% of the 124 scoreable SO transactions on record between Jan 2, 2026 and Oct 1, 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.
