Executive-Departure & Insider-Filing Signal

CEO exits are announced in an 8-K, but the tell often comes earlier: a cluster of Form 4 insider sales, a board-committee change, a quietly removed executive bio page. Markets asking whether a named executive leaves by a date are priced on speculation. You monitor the filing stream and corporate web pages for those precursors and take positions before the announcement makes it unanimous.

What you need to run it

  • Form 4 and 8-K monitoring with per-company insider baselines to spot unusual clusters
  • Change-detection on leadership pages and board committee rosters
  • Base rates for executive tenure by sector to anchor the prior probability

Where this applies

Markets on Polymarket where executive-departure & insider-filing signal is the natural play:

  • Will this CEO leave the company before the end of 2027?
  • Will Intel name a new CEO in 2027?
  • Will a Fortune 100 CEO resign in Q4 2026?
