Insider Trading Activity: Curtis C Griffith, the Chairman and CEO of $SPFI, sold 21,443 shares for an estimated $758,224. This sale represents approximately 2.6% of their shares of this class. Overall, within the past 6 months, $SPFI has had 6 insider trades, with 5 being sales and only 1 being a purchase, specifically by Noe G Valles, who purchased 50,000 shares for an estimated $1,675,000. This trend of more sales than purchases could signal a lack of confidence in the stock's performance moving forward, which might concern investors.

Hedge Fund Activity: The hedge fund activity indicates mixed sentiment among institutional investors. In the most recent quarter, 50 institutional investors added shares of $SPFI, while 47 decreased their positions. Notable moves include JPMorgan Chase & Co adding 71,656 shares (+40.8%) and several other firms increasing their investments, which could demonstrate certain confidence in the company's future prospects.

This mixed insider and institutional activity could lead to volatility in $SPFI’s stock price in the near future as investor sentiment fluctuates based on these trading behaviors.
