Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-06-17 to 2025-10-15. Excludes option exercises, grants, gifts and tax withholding. Amended filings replace the originals; joint filings count once. Foreign private issuers do not file Form 4. Many insider sales are pre-scheduled (10b5-1 plans) and are not by themselves a sign of wrongdoing.

Verified excerpt

"On the Closing Date, and prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Company changed its name from "Southport Acquisition Corporation" to "Angel Studios, Inc." On September 15, 2025, the audit committee of the Board approved the appointment of Tanner LLC, (" Tanner ") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements effective for the year..."

What this means

The company changed its outside auditor (8-K Item 4.01). A dismissal or resignation, especially near an annual report or with reported disagreements, is a warning sign. Changes caused by audit firms merging are usually routine.

Type: changed
Disagreements reported: no
New auditor: Tanner LLC

Why this score: also within 90 days: Going-concern doubt
