What SEC filings does Genie Energy Ltd. submit to the SEC?

Genie Energy Ltd. (GNE) submits several types of SEC filings including Form 4 (insider transactions), Form 144 (proposed insider sales), 8-K reports (material events such as earnings releases, acquisitions, leadership changes), and periodic reports — the 10-Q (quarterly) and 10-K (annual). All filings are publicly available through SEC EDGAR.

What does a Form 4 filing tell me about GNE?

A Form 4 for GNE discloses a transaction by a company insider — typically a director, officer, or 10%+ shareholder. It shows the source-reported date, number of shares, price, and updated ownership. These facts do not establish motive or predict future returns.

How do I interpret an 8-K filing from Genie Energy Ltd.?

An 8-K signals a material event requiring prompt disclosure. Common triggers include earnings pre-announcements, acquisitions, leadership appointments or departures, credit changes, or regulatory actions. Read the item codes inside the filing to understand exactly what was disclosed before drawing conclusions.

What is the difference between a 10-K and 10-Q for GNE?

The 10-K is Genie Energy Ltd.'s annual report with fully audited financial statements, comprehensive MD&A, and complete risk factor disclosures — filed 60–90 days after fiscal year-end. The 10-Q is a lighter quarterly report with unaudited financials filed for the first three quarters. Together they provide a continuous financial picture of the company.

Where can I see all GNE SEC filings directly on EDGAR?

You can view all historical Genie Energy Ltd. filings on the SEC EDGAR company page for GNE. Each filing card on this page links directly to the original SEC document.

How often does Genie Energy Ltd. file with the SEC?

Genie Energy Ltd. files one 10-K per year and up to three 10-Qs per year. Form 4 insider transactions must be reported within two business days of each trade, so the frequency depends on how often insiders are buying or selling GNE shares. 8-K filings occur whenever a material event happens — which can be several times per quarter for an active company.

GNE Filing Activity Snapshot 2026-01-06 — 2026-10-05

Insider Transactions (Form 4)

0 buys vs 0 sells

Insider buying and selling activity is balanced in this period.

Insider Transactions 8 · Forms 3, 4 and 5

A Form 4 is filed within two business days of a company insider — an officer, a director, or a holder of more than ten percent of the stock — changing their position in the shares. All 8 filings in this group are Form 4s for Genie Energy Ltd.

The difficulty with reading these filings as a group is that a single form type covers transactions that mean entirely different things. An executive spending their own money to buy stock and an executive having shares withheld to pay tax on a vesting grant both appear as a Form 4. Every filing below is therefore tagged with the nature of the underlying transaction, taken from the transaction code reported on the form itself.

Across the 8 insider filings shown, the breakdown is 6 tax withholding and 2 compensation award. None of the classified filings involved a discretionary open-market trade, so this period says nothing about what insiders think of the price.

What each transaction type means

Tax withholding ×6: Shares were withheld by the company to settle tax due when equity vested. This is an automatic administrative step and not a decision to sell.
Compensation award ×2: Shares were granted as compensation rather than purchased. No cash changed hands, so the filing reflects a pay decision by the company, not a judgement about the price.
