Which of the following is not considered insider information?

  1. Unreleased earnings reports

  2. Planned mergers or acquisitions

  3. Declared stock dividends

  4. Pending lawsuits against the company

The correct answer is: Declared stock dividends

Insider information refers to confidential information that is not available to the general public. Options A, B, and D all involve information that is not yet known by the public, and therefore would be considered insider information. However, stock dividends are a publicly declared distribution of a company's profits to its shareholders and are not considered confidential or privileged information.
