CEO and director buying at current levels near $6.38-$6.91 suggests insiders see value below analyst consensus. Monitor upcoming quarterly earnings for potential positive catalyst. The cluster is small but C-suite participation makes it a modest bullish signal — consider accumulating on weakness if price dips below $6.38.
