APLE Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc. Insider Trading

Executive Chairman Glade Knight buys 5,000 shares at $13.97, extending a pattern of consistent accumulation in his hotel REIT while stock trades modestly below 52-week highs.

Glade Knight, Executive Chairman of Apple Hospitality REIT, continues a disciplined buying pattern with this open-market purchase, his sixth in the company over the past three years. The timing is noteworthy: Knight is adding to his substantial stake while the stock trades modestly below its 52-week high, a less opportunistic entry point than his prior purchases but still within the stock's recent trading range. Looking back at his track record at this specific ticker, Knight's prior five open-market purchases showed mixed near-term results—three proved well-timed as the stock rose afterward, while two were followed by declines—suggesting neither remarkable predictive power nor poor judgment, but consistent long-term conviction. The company itself remains solidly profitable with stable fundamentals, generating substantial net income even as recent revenue trends show slight softness, which may explain why the chairman is accumulating rather than selling. This is not a basement-level bargain-hunting buy; it reflects steady, methodical stake-building by someone with direct operational visibility into the business.

Executive Chairman Knight Glade M buys 5,000 APLE shares at $11.91; holds 710.3K shares post-transaction, stock -25.5% from 52-week high.

Knight Glade M purchased 5,000 shares of Apple Hospitality REIT at $11.91 on 2025-12-11, adding to a substantial position now totaling 710.3K shares. The stock is trading $12.12, down significantly from its 52-week high of $16.26, placing it -25.5% below peak levels. At the same-ticker level, his prior 5 buys at APLE show mixed results: two achieved positive 90-day returns (the 2025-05-06 and 2024-08-08 purchases), while three resulted in 90-day declines ranging from -2.7% to -18.9%, suggesting inconsistent timing. His cross-ticker track record across 8 prior buys shows average 90-day returns of -2.5% with a 37.50% win rate, indicating a pattern of modest underperformance.

Director Hugh Redd buys 1,000 APLE shares at $11.75; holds 138.3K shares as part of ongoing accumulation pattern.

Hugh Redd, a Director at Apple Hospitality REIT, purchased 1,000 shares at $11.75 on 2025-11-13, expanding his holdings to 138.3K shares. This represents a continuation of his buying activity at APLE, with 5 prior trades at this ticker over the past year and a half. Of those 5 prior purchases, 3 demonstrated well-timed 90-day outcomes with positive returns (+4.7%, +10.8%, and +8.9%), though 2 subsequent trades resulted in 90-day losses (-11.7% and -5.5%). The current purchase occurs at $11.75, approximately 29.2% below the 52-week high of $16.32 and near the low end of the 52-week range. Given the company's solid fundamentals—$373.9M quarterly revenue, $50.9M net income, 6.5% annual revenue growth, and a 15.62 P/E ratio—the transaction occurs at a valuation discount relative to recent trading levels, though the timing signal is mixed given his split track record at this specific holding.

Director Woolley Howard E. bought 2,000 shares on 2025-11-11 at $11.94, increasing his holdings to 30,929 shares. The purchase occurred in a stock trading 28.6% below its 52-week high of $16.32, though recent momentum is flat (30-day change: +0.3%). Historically, his prior buys at APLE have shown mixed results: the 2025-05-06 purchase returned +2.6% at the 90-day mark, while the 2024-02-27 purchase declined -9.4% over 90 days, meaning only 1 of 2 same-ticker buys were well-timed. His cross-ticker buy track record across 2 other open-market purchases shows a 50% 90-day win rate, with an average 90-day return of -3.4%. Fundamentals remain stable with $373.9M in quarterly revenue, $50.9M net income, and a moderate P/E of 15.74.

KNIGHT GLADE M purchased 5,000 shares (+0.7% increase to existing holdings of 700.3K shares) at $12.29, with the stock currently trading at $12.32, down 24.5% from its 52-week high of $16.32. His prior trades at APLE show mixed timing: 3 of 5 earlier buys at this ticker yielded positive 90-day returns, but his broader cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -2.0% with a 42.86% win rate, suggesting inconsistent execution. The company's fundamentals remain solid with revenue of $384.4M, net income of $63.6M, and annual growth of +6.5%, at a reasonable 16.21 P/E, yet the stock is near a 52-week low. This modest purchase follows a flat 30-day return (-2.7%) and does not constitute a material position shift relative to existing holdings.

Director Hugh Redd buys 1,000 APLE shares at $11.57; stock now -27.9% from 52-week high.

Hugh Redd acquired 1,000 shares at $11.57 on 2025-06-04, adding to a position that now stands at 137,254 shares post-transaction.

Redd's same-ticker history shows mixed outcomes: his 2024-08-21 and 2023-05-31 purchases both delivered positive 90-day returns (+8.9% and +5.3%), but his 2025-02-28 and 2024-05-16 buys yielded negative results (-18.6% and -5.5% at 90 days). The most recent same-ticker purchase on 2025-05-06 shows +1.8% over 30 days, though the 90-day outcome is not yet measurable. This buy occurs at a depressed valuation relative to recent highs and within a company posting $327.7M in quarterly revenue and $31.2M in net income, with a P/E of 14.71.

CFO Perkins buys 2,100 shares of APLE at $11.72; 4 other insiders bought within 14 days

Elizabeth Perkins, SVP & Chief Financial Officer, purchased 2,100 shares at $11.72 on 2025-05-09, adding to her holdings of 362,644 shares post-transaction. This open-market buy occurs as the stock trades 25.1% below its 52-week high of $16.32, having declined 20.1% over the past 90 days. The transaction is notable because four other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, forming a cluster buy pattern—a rare signal of coordinated insider confidence during a period of relative weakness. Perkins' prior buy at this ticker on 2023-11-10 achieved a 90-day return of +1.8%, and her cross-ticker track record shows a 100% win rate across her prior opens-market buys with an average 90-day return of +1.8%. The company's fundamentals remain solid with $327.7M in quarterly revenue, net income of $31.2M, annual revenue growth of +6.5%, and a P/E of 15.28, suggesting the insider purchases may reflect conviction in valuation at current levels.

SVP & Chief Accounting Officer buys 1,000 shares of APLE at $11.45; 4 other insiders bought within 14 days

Rachel Labrecque, the SVP & Chief Accounting Officer, purchased 1,000 shares at $11.45 on 2025-05-08, increasing her holdings to 234,932 shares. This transaction is noteworthy because it occurs as part of a broader cluster pattern: 4 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. The stock currently trades at $11.74, down 28.1% from its 52-week high of $16.32 and down 25.1% over the past 90 days, while the company maintains solid fundamentals with $327.7M in latest quarterly revenue, 6.5% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 14.68. The convergence of multiple insider purchases during a period of significant recent price decline, combined with the company's stable operational metrics, merits observation of whether this cluster activity reflects independent execution or a coordinated signal.

Director Woolley Howard E. bought 2,000 shares of APLE at $11.34; stock down 28.9% from 52-week high, joins 3 other insiders buying within 14 days.

Woolley purchased 2,000 shares at $11.34 on 2025-05-06, increasing his holdings from 22,247 to 24,247 shares (a 9.0% increase). The transaction occurs in an environment of significant recent weakness: the stock is currently trading 28.9% below its 52-week high of $16.32, though it has recovered 8.9% over the past 30 days. The filing shows a cluster pattern—3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days—which suggests coordinated confidence at current valuations. However, his prior open-market buy at APLE on 2024-02-27 delivered a 90-day return of -9.4%, indicating his previous purchases at this security have not been well-timed. The company's fundamentals remain intact (P/E of 14.51, annual revenue growth of 6.5%), but the timing signal is mixed: insider buying in a depressed price environment alongside peer purchases, offset by a historical pattern of underwater post-purchase performance at this ticker.

Executive Chairman KNIGHT GLADE M bought 10,000 shares of APLE at $11.43 on 2025-05-06; stock now -28.9% from 52-week high amid cluster activity

KNIGHT GLADE M purchased 10,000 shares at $11.43, expanding holdings to 700,344 shares, while the stock trades at $11.61 (current price), down 28.9% from its 52-week high of $16.32. His cross-ticker track record shows mixed timing: 6 prior open-market buys averaged -1.4% over 30 days and +0.5% over 90 days, with a 40% win rate. At APLE specifically, he has executed 5 prior buys over the past 2 years; 2 of 4 measurable outcomes were well-timed at the 90-day mark (2024-08-08 returned +12.1%, 2023-08-11 returned +3.5%), while the other two declined (-2.7% and -5.0%). This buy occurs as 3 other insiders purchased within the past 14 days, forming a cluster pattern. The company's fundamentals remain stable: P/E of 14.51, $327.7M quarterly revenue, and 6.5% annual revenue growth. The significance is tempered by the stock's recent weakness (-25.9% over 90 days) and the insider's uneven timing history even at this specific ticker.
