CEO David A Peacock purchases 1,600 shares at $34.60 in 2 transactions totaling $55,360.00

David A Peacock, Chief Executive Officer, made 2 separate purchases totaling 1,600 shares for $55,360.00 on consecutive days (2026-05-18 and 2026-05-19) at $34.60 per share, bringing his holdings to 217,164 shares. This purchase occurs while the company reported net income of $-71,831,000.00 in the latest quarter and annual revenue growth of -0.7%. Notably, his prior 5 purchases at ADV showed a 100% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, with returns ranging from +1,915.2% to +5,315.4% at the 90-day interval, suggesting a consistent pattern of purchase timing relative to subsequent price appreciation at this specific ticker. The current stock price of $35.89 is -33.1% from the 52-week high of $53.62, and the stock has risen +6.3% over the past 30 days and +132.6% over the past 90 days.

Significance 7

Director James M Kilts bought 64,553 shares at $0.78 blended average; post-transaction holdings 1,596,659 shares (+4.2%).

James M Kilts (Director) executed two separate purchases totaling 64,553 shares for $50,296.14 over four trading days (2026-03-20 and 2026-03-23), lifting his holdings by 4.2% to 1.60M shares. The $0.78 blended average purchase price sits far below the current price of $19.64, a 25× valuation spread; however, the stock is -59.9% from its 52-week high of $49.00, placing this purchase within a recent decline. Across five prior trades at ADV alone, Kilts' two oldest measurable purchases (2025-06-05 and 2025-06-06) both showed strong 90-day returns (+3314.7% and +3279.7%), and the three most recent ADV purchases (2026-03-09 through 2026-03-11) are still in a measuring window with no outcome yet visible. The company reported latest-quarter revenue of $915.0M with net income of $20.6M, but was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, and annual revenue growth declined -0.7%. Insider's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 100% 90-day win rate and average +3543.8% return, but this cross-ticker metric does not predict ADV-specific outcomes; focus should remain on ADV's operating trajectory and the timing alignment of his same-ticker history.

Significance 8

Director James M. Kilts buys 16.8K shares of ADV at $0.70; part of cluster with 2 other insiders in 14 days.

Director James M. Kilts purchased 16,759 shares at $0.70 on 2026-03-11, adding to holdings that now stand at 1,532,106 shares. This buy occurs alongside purchases by 2 other insiders within the past 14 days, forming a coordinated cluster acquisition pattern. Notably, Kilts has executed 3 prior buys at ADV (on 2025-06-04, 2025-06-05, and 2025-06-06), all of which demonstrated exceptional 90-day returns ranging from +2936.0% to +3314.7%, with a 100% well-timed outcome rate at this ticker specifically. The current stock price of $18.50 sits 62.2% below the 52-week high, yet remains substantially above the $0.70 transaction price, suggesting either a significant recovery since June 2025 or a dramatic repricing event. The company remains unprofitable on a full-year basis despite positive net income of $20.6M in the latest quarter, presenting a mixed fundamental picture that contextualizes insider accumulation during a period of depressed valuation relative to recent highs.

Significance 8

Director Kilts buys 141,867 shares across 2 days at blended $0.65 avg; 3rd insider buy within 14 days at ADV.

James M. Kilts (Director) executed 2 separate purchases totaling 141,867 shares for $92,922.09 at blended average price $0.65 on March 9–10, 2026. His post-transaction holdings reached 1,515,347 shares, a +10.3% increase. This filing is significant because it occurs within a 14-day cluster pattern in which 2 other insiders also acquired shares—a synchronized buying signal at the same company. At the current price of $18.75, ADV trades -68.2% from its 52-week high of $59.00, and the stock has declined -22.3% over 90 days despite a +8.4% rebound in the past 30 days. Kilts' cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market buys with a 100% 90-day win rate and avg 90d return of +3387.9%, and his 4 prior measurable same-ticker ADV purchases all delivered 90-day gains exceeding +2900%, demonstrating consistent timing accuracy at this ticker. The simultaneous buying activity by multiple insiders during a period of significant stock weakness and technical recovery warrant investor scrutiny of the underlying business drivers and forward-looking catalysts.

CFO Growe Christopher buys 50.0K shares of ADV at $0.60; stock down 71.8% from 52-week high; cluster buy pattern with 2 insiders in 14 days

Growe Christopher, Chief Financial Officer, purchased 50,000 shares at $0.60 on 2026-03-06, increasing his holdings to 244.0K shares (+25.8%). The timing coincides with material stock weakness: ADV trades at $16.83, representing a -71.8% decline from the 52-week high of $59.75, and has fallen -11.4% in the past 30 days and -25.0% over 90 days. At ADV, his prior 5 open-market buys (2023–2025) posted a 100% well-timed rate with 90-day returns ranging from +1954.2% to +4982.0%, indicating a consistent pattern of purchasing near significant upswings. The buy appears within a 14-day cluster that includes 2 other insiders, suggesting coordinated confidence at depressed levels. However, the company's fundamentals remain mixed: latest-quarter revenue was $915.0M with net income of $20.6M, but full-year net income was negative and annual revenue growth was -0.7%, warranting closer examination of the catalyst behind this simultaneous insider accumulation.

CEO David A Peacock bought 200,000 shares of ADV at $0.64 on 2026-03-05; stock now $15.79, down 73.6% from 52-week high.

CEO David A Peacock purchased 200,000 shares at $0.64, bringing holdings from 3,501,366 to 3,701,366 shares (+5.7%), during a period of significant stock weakness: the stock has declined 73.6% from its 52-week high of $59.75 and dropped 28.4% over 90 days. His prior trades at ADV show a strong timing pattern—all 5 of his previous buys at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with returns ranging from +1736.1% to +3949.5%. A cluster pattern is present: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. The company posted $915.0M in quarterly revenue with $20.6M net income but was unprofitable on a full-year basis (negative full-year net income) with flat annual revenue growth (-0.7%), indicating structural profitability challenges. This buy occurs against both positive insider trading history at the ticker and material company weakness.

Significance 3

Director James Kilts buys 9,700 shares of ADV at $1.29 (2025-06-06); stock now at $36.75, -64.1% from 52-week high.

James Kilts, a director, purchased 9,700 shares at $1.29 on 2025-06-06, adding to a position already containing 1,363,780 shares. The transaction occurred at a significantly depressed price relative to the 52-week high of $102.25—the stock is currently trading at $36.75, down 64.1% from its peak. Notably, Kilts executed five consecutive buy orders over a three-business-day window (2025-05-30 through 2025-06-06), suggesting responsive accumulation during market weakness. However, the company's fundamentals remain challenged: it reported a net loss of $56,130,000.00 on quarterly revenue of $821,792,000.00 and experienced full-year revenue decline of 15.6%. Without near-term measurable outcomes on the recent trades and given the company's unprofitability, the forward signal from this activity remains limited.

Significance 4

Director James M. Kilts bought 21,249 shares over 2 days at avg $1.25 while stock down 39.5% in 90 days

Director James M. Kilts executed 2 separate purchases totaling 21,249 shares for $26,596.30 at prices of $1.29 and $1.24 on June 4-5, 2025, increasing his holdings by 1.6% to 1,363,780 shares. This activity occurs within a deteriorating stock price context: the stock is down 39.5% over the past 90 days and trades at $32.50, which is 68.2% below its 52-week high of $102.25. The company carries negative fundamentals—it posted a net loss of $56,130,000 on revenue of $821,792,000 in the latest quarter, with annual revenue declining 15.6% year-over-year. Notably, Kilts' same-ticker purchase history at Advantage Solutions shows 5 recent buys (May 29–June 6) with outcomes not yet measurable, and his cross-ticker track record across all prior buys shows an average 30-day return of 1778.0%, though this historical pattern does not yet bear on outcomes specific to ADV.

Significance 4

Director James M. Kilts purchases 39,805 shares across 2 transactions for $48,787.32 at ADV

Director James M. Kilts executed 2 separate purchases totaling 39,805 shares for $48,787.32 (blended average $1.23) on June 2–3, 2025, increasing his holdings to 1,342,531 shares (+3.1% vs pre-transaction). The current stock price of $31.25 stands 69.4% below the 52-week high of $102.25, with the stock down 47.0% over the past 90 days. Despite his strong cross-ticker track record (20 prior buys averaging +1778.0% 30-day returns), his prior 5 trades at ADV remain too recent to measure outcomes. The company reported $-56,130,000 net income on $821,792,000 revenue (latest quarter) and faces 15.6% annual revenue decline, with negative full-year net income. The timing and scale of this accumulation warrant monitoring given the fundamental headwinds and stock's recent steep decline.

Significance 4

Director James M Kilts buys 31,027 shares in 2 tranches at $1.25 avg; stock down 71.9% from 52-week high and -50.0% in 90d.

Director James M Kilts purchased 31,027 shares across 2 transactions on 2025-05-29 and 2025-05-30 at a blended average price of $1.25, investing $38,662.48 total. The stock is currently trading at $28.75, down 71.9% from its 52-week high of $102.25 and has declined 50.0% over the last 90 days, indicating significant momentum against the purchase. The company's fundamentals show negative net income of $-56,130,000.00 in the latest quarter, annual revenue declined 15.6%, and the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. Kilts' 5 prior purchases at ADV all occurred within the recent trading period (2025-05-22 through 2025-06-02), and none have yet accumulated measurable 90-day outcomes, making this pattern difficult to contextualize against his cross-ticker track record average of 30-day return +1778.0%.
