Bargain hunters are wise to pay careful attention to insider buying, because although there are many various reasons for an insider to sell a stock, presumably the only reason they would use their hard-earned dollars to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money. Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.

At Science Applications International, a filing with the SEC revealed that on Friday, Chief Executive Officer Toni Townes-whitley bought 3,000 shares of SAIC, for a cost of $125.96 each, for a total investment of $377,894.

Science Applications International is trading up about 2.2% on the day Tuesday.

And at Blend Labs, there was insider buying on Friday, by HEAD OF FINANCE AND ADMIN. Amir Jafari who bought 6,265 shares at a cost of $2.65 each, for a total investment of $16,588.
