Actual against the consensus estimate at the time. A flag marks a beat or a miss of more than 1.5% either way; inside that band the quarter is in line. A flag reads n/a only when a number is missing. Quarterly EPS is the figure set against the consensus, usually adjusted, so the quarters need not add up to the 12-month net income per share above. An estimate is a forecast made by analysts, not a company target.

We hold no closing prices for any row shown here, so no move is shown. Not investment advice.
Estimated prices are the stock's closing price on the trade date. A disclosure gives a value band, not the price paid. Not investment advice. After a sale a positive figure means the stock kept rising after it. On an option line the prices are the stock's, never the option's: the premium is never disclosed.
A delay above 45 days is the gap between the dates on the report; we mark a filing late only after checking it.
"Not captured" means the band or the transaction type on the original report is missing from our data.
"Dates conflict" marks a row whose disclosure is dated before its trade on the record we hold. Both dates are printed as filed, and no prices or move are shown for that row.

How to read a STOCK Act filing
WHAT THE FILING ACTUALLY SAYS
Congress rows disclose a value range rather than an exact amount, and the STOCK Act allows up to 45 days to report. Full sourcing and the limits of this data are on the methodology page. A filing is a record of a transaction, not a signal, and nothing here is investment advice.
