This cluster of insider buying, particularly the CFO's first open-market purchase, is a strong vote of confidence. The stock has been under pressure (trading near $26 vs. likely book value above $40), and insiders are putting capital to work. Traders should watch for a potential catalyst (e.g., earnings, capital return announcement) in the coming weeks.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
