<h3>Unmasking the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
It's important to note that insider transactions alone should not dictate investment decisions, but they can provide valuable insights.
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes Worth Your Attention</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates 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.

Strategic Sale: EIRY ROBERTS Decides To Exercise Options Worth $334K At Neurocrine Biosciences

On Monday,&nbsp;AbbVie&nbsp;Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) stock plunged after two trials investigating emraclidine as a once-daily, oral monotherapy treatment for adults with schizophrenia failed&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41884798/abbvies-emraclidine-for-schizophrenia-surprisingly-disappoints-analyst-says-pipeline-is-underappreciated" rel="noreferrer noopener">two Phase 2 trials</a>.
The studies did not meet their primary endpoint of showing a statistically significant improvement in the change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to the placebo group at week 6.
Truist says due to the failure, Bristol Myers Squibb&nbsp;&amp; Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Cobenfy (xanomeline and trospium chloride, KarXT) is poised to have less commercial competition.
The analyst also adds that the update will likely raise questions about strategy in neuroscience for AbbVie, which was highlighted during their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41626490/abbvie-tops-q3-expectations-as-skyrizi-rinvoq-drive-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter earnings call</a>.
The analyst, with a Buy rating and $215 price target, is still positive on AbbVie&#8217;s growth prospects particularly from their immunology I&amp;I franchise.
Emraclidine was part of AbbVie&#8217;s acquisition of Cerevel last year, which also included Tavapadon, which recently reported positive Phase 3 results in Parkinson&#8217;s disease.
The trial met its primary endpoint – patients treated with tavapadon in both dose groups experienced a statistically significant reduction (improvement) from baseline compared to placebo (placebo: +1.8; 5 mg: -9.7; 15 mg: -10.2 versus placebo) in the Movement Disorder Society – Unified Parkinson&#8217;s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Parts II and III <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41050209/abbvie-says-pivotal-trial-for-parkinsons-candidate-meets-its-primary-goal-in-patients-with-early-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">combined score at week 26</a>.

BMO Capital Markets writes, &#8220;AbbVie core I&amp;I thesis intact, but this one stings.&#8221;
The analyst has lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABBV/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $228</a> to $208 and maintains the Outperform rating, citing confidence in the immunology portfolio.
BMO analyst writes that While Neurocrine Biosciences Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBIX#NASDAQ">NBIX</a>) mixed phase 2 data from NBI-1117568 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40632561/neurocrine-biosciences-lower-dose-data-puts-its-schizophrenia-candidate-in-the-game" rel="noreferrer noopener">showed some efficacy</a>, there was absolutely no benefit in these trials. Bristol&#8217;s Cobenfy is now poised to dominate the schizophrenia market, the analyst adds.
BMO has reduced the probability of success for emraclidine to 0%, which was previously estimated to reach a potential $3.9 billion in global unadjusted peak sales in the Schizophrenia indication.
Price Action: ABBV stock is down 0.84% at $172.96 at last check Tuesday.
