The short answer

Orin Hirschman filed a Schedule 13G on Oct 19, 2026, reporting 3,855,000 shares, or 8.3% of the class of Aeye (LIDR). The filing came 55 days after Aeye’s Aug 6, 2026 results announcement. It reports ownership, not when shares were bought, and does not explain price moves around the filing.

What did Orin Hirschman file?

The SEC Schedule 13G records Orin Hirschman’s report of 3,855,000 shares, 8.3% of the class of Aeye (LIDR), filed on Oct 19, 2026.

A Schedule 13G is an ownership filing, not a trade record. It does not say when the shares were bought.

How does the filing line up with Aeye’s results?

The Schedule 13G was made 55 days after the company announced results on Aug 6, 2026, in an 8-K under Item 2.02.

Finnhub lists the headline “AEye Reports Q2 2026 Results: Full Earnings Call Transcript,” published by Benzinga on Oct 13, 2026. The headline is available here; OQRO has not checked the headline or summarized the article.

What other filings were reported around the date?

Aeye filed a Form 8-K on Sep 15, 2026, 15 days before the Schedule 13G. OQRO classifies the filing as reporting that the company signed an important agreement and ended an important agreement.

Aeye also filed a Form 8-K on Sep 9, 2026, 21 days before. OQRO classifies it as reporting a change to a top executive or board member. Its opening sentence says the Compensation Committee approved a one-time award of 100,000 restricted stock units to Conor Tierney, the Company’s Chief Financia...

What do short interest and 13F filings show?

FINRA short interest for LIDR on the settlement date of Sep 30, 2026 was 2,589,132 shares, down 6.25% on the previous report, and about 5.38 days of average volume.

In 13F filings for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, no largest positions that grew were on record. The largest position that shrank was Flputnam Investment Management Co, reduced by 750 shares. A 13F is a quarter-end snapshot and does not provide a trade date.

How did LIDR’s share price move around the filing?

LIDR closed at $1.20 on Sep 30, 2026, the last session on or before the filing date. From Aug 31, 2026 to Sep 30, 2026, the close moved from $1.15 to $1.20, a change of +4.3%.

From Sep 30, 2026 to Oct 19, 2026, the close moved from $1.20 to $0.855, a change of −28.7%. These price moves are context only; the filing does not explain them, and other news can move a price. See Aeye on OQRO.

What this does not tell you?

The Schedule 13G does not say when shares were bought. It is an ownership filing, not a trade record, and the filing does not explain share-price moves.

An 8-K item says what the company reported, not what it means for the share price. Headlines are listed as published by the outlets; OQRO has not checked them and does not summarize the articles. This describes public filings and is not investment advice.
