<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions contribute to decision-making but should be supplemented by a comprehensive investment analysis.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Exploring Key Transaction Codes</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Orion S.A. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oec#NYSE">OEC</a>) recently broke ground on a plant in Texas that will be the sole facility in the United States producing acetylene-based conductive additives for lithium-ion batteries and other applications critical to the global transition to electrification. 
The location in La Porte, southeast of Houston, will generate much high-skilled employment in construction and technological areas, as well as contribute breakthrough technology to the American economy. The battery additives manufactured by Orion&#39;s facility will be extremely clean, with one-tenth the carbon footprint of other regularly used materials. 
The plant in La Porte will be a critical step in increasing the regional supply of conductive additives in the rapidly expanding U.S. battery market. All batteries require conductive additives. They allow for a more efficient flow of electricity and improve the life of lithium-ion batteries, the most valuable component of electric vehicles. The material is also vital in high-voltage cables used in wind and solar farms. 
The additives manufactured at the La Porte plant will be made from acetylene, a colorless gas that Orion&#39;s manufacturing method converts into powder of the exceptional purity required by major battery manufacturers. Equistar Chemicals LP, a LyondellBasell subsidiary, will supply the acetylene from an adjacent site. 
Orion&#39;s facility in La Porte is similar to one located in Berre-l&#39;Etang, southern France. LyondellBasell supplies acetylene to the site as well. The LaPorte project&#39;s major equipment procurement and off-site fabrication are already well underway. Field construction works are speeding up, and the facility is anticipated to start operations in the second quarter of 2025. 
Shares of OEC have lost 3.4% over the past year compared with a 7.2% decline of its industry.

Orion S.A. 2024 Q3 - Results - Earnings Call Presentation

Orion S.A. (OEC) Q3 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

Wall Street favors small caps for their high growth potential, broad sector exposure, and strong performance during economic recoveries, especially as rate cuts lower borrowing costs. Hence, it may be wise to consider buying high-potential small-cap stocks: Owens & Minor (OMI), Orion (OEC), and Cerus (CERS). Read on... Small-cap stocks benefit greatly from lower interest rates, as they typically carry higher debt levels than large-cap companies. Moreover, small-cap stocks offer diverse industry exposure beyond tech, including in medical, biotech, and chemical industries, providing growth potential across multiple sectors.
Therefore, for investors seeking high-upside opportunities, fundamentally strong small-cap stocks like Owens &amp; Minor, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/OMI/">OMI</a>), Orion S.A. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/OEC/">OEC</a>), and Cerus Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CERS/">CERS</a>) are worth considering.
Historically, small-cap stocks have outperformed large caps during economic recoveries. As inflation stabilizes and if the economy strengthens, small-cap stocks could benefit significantly. Small-cap stocks offer broad sector exposure, which helps reduce regulatory and sector-specific risks while providing diverse investment opportunities.
With inflation currently at <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/rates-bonds/traders-stick-bets-25-bps-fed-rate-cuts-nov-dec-2024-10-31/">2.1%</a>, just above the Fed's target, rate cuts are anticipated in December. These cuts could reduce borrowing costs, stimulate consumer spending, and boost small-cap stock valuations. Alongside, the U.S. economy expanded by an annualized <a href="https://www.conference-board.org/brief/global-economy/gdp-q3-2024">2.8% in the third quarter</a>, highlighting further optimism for the small caps.
Furthermore, small-cap stocks often yield higher returns in volatile markets due to increased investor demand for growth-oriented opportunities. Considering these conducive trends, let's examine the fundamentals of the above-mentioned small-cap stocks.
