The CEO and a director buying ~$883K in open-market purchases immediately after a severe earnings miss is a high-conviction signal that management views the credit loss as one-time. Monitor for additional insider buying in the next 30 days; if no further purchases occur, the signal weakens. The stock currently trades at $44-45, near the purchase price.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Coastal Financial Corp insiders made two open-market purchases totaling $883K, led by the CEO and a director, immediately following a Q2 2026 earnings miss that triggered a $42.1M net loss due to a $68.8M credit charge on a single CCBX partner. These insider buys signal confidence that the credit issue is isolated, directly contradicting the market's likely bearish revaluation of the BaaS model.
