CEO Hedges buys 1,000 shares at $23.75 as part of coordinated insider buying cluster; stock down from recent highs.

David Hedges, Auburn National's President and CEO, purchased 1,000 shares at $23.75, adding to a demonstrated pattern of consistent buying behavior in this stock—his eight prior trades were all purchases, with mixed timing results showing he caught both strong rallies and modest declines. This current buy is part of a broader wave of insider buying, with three insiders purchasing within a two-week window, suggesting coordinated confidence rather than isolated opportunism. The stock trades well below its recent highs and has declined modestly over the past quarter, creating a more favorable entry point than when Hedges made his most recent purchase just days ago. Auburn National is profitable with reasonable valuation metrics, providing a solid fundamental backdrop for the CEO's continued accumulation of shares.

Significance 6

Director Conn Walton Jr. buys 350 shares of AUBN during near-term pullback while company trades below highs.

Director Conn Walton Jr. made a two-tranche purchase totaling 350 shares at market prices while Auburn National Bancorporation's stock trades meaningfully below its recent highs, following a quarter of double-digit weakness. The timing is notable because insider buying during pullbacks often signals conviction that current prices represent genuine opportunity rather than euphoric entry points — particularly when the purchaser has board-level insight into company direction. Auburn is a profitable regional bank with solid fundamentals and a reasonable valuation, making it the type of company where insider accumulation can indicate disciplined confidence. However, this is a single director's purchase rather than a coordinated insider cluster, and the absolute share count is modest relative to the filer's existing position, so the conviction signal, while positive, should be weighed against the routine nature of individual board-member transactions.

SVP O'Donnell buys 30 shares in 2 trades at $23.61 avg, accumulating to 1,875 shares post-transaction at AUBN.

O'Donnell Shannon, Senior Vice President, purchased 30 shares across 2 separate transactions on 2026-04-14, with a blended average price of $23.61 versus a current price of $23.90. The transaction represents a modest 1.6% increase in her holdings, bringing her total to 1,875 shares. Her prior trades at AUBN show mixed outcomes: of 5 prior buys at this ticker, only 1 was well-timed at the 90-day mark, with recent January purchases declining 7.9% and 7.6% over 30 days. A cluster pattern is present, with 3 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days, though the overall activity remains routine given the small position size and the insider's broader cross-ticker track record showing a 40% 90-day win rate across 20 prior buys.

Director HAM WILLIAM F JR bought 64 shares at $23.64 average (2 transactions); cluster pattern with 3 other insiders in 14 days

HAM WILLIAM F JR purchased 64 shares in two separate transactions totaling $1,513.02, increasing his holdings from 4,973 to 5,037 shares (+1.3%). This filing coincides with a cluster buy pattern: 3 other insiders also purchased within the past 14 days at AUBN, suggesting coordinated or synchronized confidence in the stock at current levels. The director's same-ticker history at AUBN shows mixed timing outcomes—only 1 of 5 prior buys achieved positive 90-day returns, with recent purchases in January 2026 declining 7.9% and 7.6% over 30 days. The stock currently trades at $23.90, down 16.0% from its 52-week high of $28.47, and the company shows modest fundamentals: P/E of 10.44, annual revenue growth of +0.8%, and market cap of $83.5M. The insider cluster activity warrants attention as a potential signal of perceived value, though the director's historical timing at this ticker has been largely unsuccessful.

Significance 4

Director Barrett J Tutt bought 83 shares at blended avg $23.64 at AUBURN NATIONAL BANCORPORATION (AUBN); cluster pattern detected with 3 other insiders buying in past 14 days.

Barrett J Tutt, a director, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 83 shares for $1,962.06 on 2026-04-14 at prices of $23.72 and $23.46, raising his holdings to 9.2K shares. This transaction occurs within a 14-day cluster during which 3 other insiders also purchased shares, suggesting coordinated appetite for the stock at current levels. At AUBN specifically, Tutt's prior 5 trades show mixed outcomes: 1 of 5 prior buys achieved positive 90-day returns, indicating inconsistent timing at this ticker historically. The company trades at a P/E of 10.44 with recent quarterly net income of $2.2M and minimal annual revenue growth of +0.8%, positioning it as a value-traded small-cap; the stock is currently -16.0% from its 52-week high and down -1.7% over 90 days.

Director David E. Housel purchases 58 shares at $23.58 avg; 3 other insiders also bought within 14 days (cluster pattern).

David E. Housel, Director, made 2 separate open-market purchases totaling 58 shares for $1,367.78 on 2026-04-14, bringing his holdings to 9,114 shares (+0.6% vs pre-transaction). A cluster buy pattern is present: 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. However, context tempers the signal—Housel's prior trades at AUBN show poor timing outcomes: 0 of 5 prior buys at this ticker achieved positive 90-day returns, with returns ranging from -12.5% to +8.6%. His cross-ticker track record shows modest results with a 40% win rate and average 90-day return of +2.7%. The company has low valuation fundamentals (P/E: 10.44) but shows minimal growth (+0.8% annual revenue growth) and operates at a small scale ($83.5M market cap). The modest purchase size ($1.4K) and Housel's mixed historical outcomes at this ticker do not suggest significant conviction signal.

Conn Walton Jr. purchased 200 shares of Auburn National Bancorporation at $24.10 on 2026-03-11, increasing his post-transaction holdings to 1,250 shares.

Across his open-market history on other stocks, Walton's 6 prior buys have averaged -0.9% return at 30 days and -2.6% at 90 days, with a 0.00% win rate at the 90-day mark. At AUBN specifically, his prior five trades show negative outcomes: the January 29 buys each posted 30-day returns of either -3.6% or -5.1%, with 90-day outcomes not yet measurable.

Director Conn Walton T Jr. purchases 200 shares of AUBN at $24.75 in 2 separate transactions ($4,950.00 total)

Director Conn Walton T Jr. executed 2 separate purchases totaling 200 shares at $24.75 on 2026-02-24, increasing his holdings from 850 to 1,050 shares (+23.5%). The current stock price of $24.75 matches the transaction price exactly, placing the stock -13.1% from its 52-week high of $28.47. His prior AUBN transaction on 2026-01-29 is recent and outcomes remain unmeasurable, while his cross-ticker track record shows 4 prior buys with an average 30d return of +8.9%. The company trades at a P/E of 12.07 with modest annual revenue growth of +1.8%, suggesting steady but not accelerating fundamentals. This purchase represents a meaningful addition to his stake at a price point that is neither near recent lows nor highs.

Significance 4

Director Conn Walton T Jr. bought 275 shares of AUBN across 3 transactions for $6,905.00, raising holdings 47.8%

Conn Walton T Jr., a Director at Auburn National Bancorporation, executed 3 separate purchases totaling 275 shares for $6,905.00 at prices ranging from $25.00 to $25.40 on 2026-01-29, increasing his holdings from 575 to 850 shares (+47.8%). The blended average purchase price of $25.11 sits 1.0% above the current price of $24.86, placing the transaction near recent market levels. Auburn National trades at a P/E of 12.13 with modest 1.8% annual revenue growth and $86.9M market capitalization, a micro-cap financial institution. His prior open-market buy at AUBN on 2025-12-01 has not yet accumulated sufficient history to evaluate outcome; his broader cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with a 30d return of +8.9%, though timing data at the 90-day mark remains unavailable. The substantial 47.8% increase in position size warrants attention to insider intention, but the magnitude cannot yet be contextualized against his historical accumulation patterns.

SVP O'Donnell Shannon buys 27 shares at $27.06–$27.14 amid cluster activity; stock down 9.4% in 30 days but P/E 11.86 offers valuation context.

O'Donnell Shannon, Senior Vice President at Auburn National Bancorporation, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 27 shares for $731.56 at a blended average price of $27.09 on 2026-01-14. The current price of $24.31 sits 9.4% below the 30-day average and 14.6% below the 52-week high, yet the company trades at a P/E of 11.86 with net income of $2.2M and annual revenue growth of 1.8%. Notably, 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, forming a cluster buy pattern. At the same ticker, Shannon's prior 5 trades show mixed outcomes: 3 of 5 achieved positive 90-day returns, suggesting variable execution timing on this name. The 27-share addition represents a modest 1.8% increase to his 1.6K-share post-transaction holdings, reflecting a small but deliberate commitment during a period of moderate price weakness and concurrent insider accumulation.
