Introduction

The GuruFocus Guru Trades Dataset returns guru holding change records for a given stock. The dataset is sourced from 140+ premium gurus and reflects the most recent trading quarter available for each stock, using the latest reported portdate.

Each row shows which guru changed their position, how the action is classified, the latest comment on the trade, the guru's remaining share count, the portfolio reporting date, and the stock's position weight within the guru's portfolio.

Use the optional action query parameter to filter the result set to one or more action types, such as buy, sell, reduce, or add.

What's Included

The Guru Trades Dataset includes:

Latest quarter snapshot
Results are drawn from the latest available trading quarter only, based on the most recent portdate.
Guru identity
Guru name and GuruFocus guru ID for each reported trade record.
Trade classification
Action and comment fields that describe whether a guru bought, sold, reduced, added to, or exited a position.
Holdings context
Current shares after the reported portfolio update, the asset class of the position, and the stock's position weight in the guru's disclosed portfolio.
Portfolio date
The reporting period date associated with the disclosed guru position.
Action filtering
Optional action query parameter with support for comma-separated combinations such as sell,buy or reduce,add.

Action Filter

The action query parameter accepts:

sell
buy
reduce
add

You can pass a single action or a comma-separated combination:

action=sell
action=buy,add
action=sell,reduce

Special Change Values

The change field uses special sentinel values in some cases:

-10000 means sold out
10000 means new buy
Any other value represents the percentage change in the guru's position.
