BKE BUCKLE INC Insider Trading

EVP Smith Kari G sold 30,000 shares of BKE at $54.57; post-transaction holdings: 83,814 shares. Stock -13.4% from 52-week high.

Smith Kari G, EVP Stores, sold 30,000 shares (30.0K shares) on 2026-04-10 at $54.57, representing a 26.4% reduction in her holdings to 83,814 shares. The transaction occurred at a price -13.4% below the 52-week high of $61.58 and follows two recent sales (2026-03-16 and 2026-03-17) whose outcomes remain unmeasurable. At her prior BKE trades, the 90-day outcomes for two measurable sales were both negative (−4.9% and −26.8%), and her cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% well-timed rate on sells, with an average 90-day return of −15.8%. The company exhibits healthy fundamentals: annual revenue growth of +6.6%, net income of $48.7M on revenue of $320.8M, and a P/E of 12.46. The current stock price of $53.31 is +6.0% over 30 days but −3.7% over 90 days, positioning this sale within an insider's established pattern of timed exits.

Buckle Inc SVP Sales Michelle Hoffman sells 30,000 shares (39.5% of holdings) for $1,474,195.01 across two days in March 2026

Michelle Hoffman, SVP Sales at Buckle Inc, executed two separate open-market sales totaling 30,000 shares (30.0K shares) on March 19–20, 2026, at a blended average price of $49.14, reducing her holdings by 39.5% from 75,882 to 45,882 shares. Notably, her prior trades at BKE show a 2 of 2 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark (sells on 2025-08-25 with 90d returns of -3.4% and -2.8%), suggesting a historical ability to exit before declines. Against this backdrop, the current 30-day and 90-day price action shows BKE down 7.3% and 7.8% respectively, tracking toward what may become another well-timed exit if the decline extends. The company is trading at a P/E of 12.41 with annual revenue declining 3.4% year-over-year, so the magnitude and timing of this large insider liquidation warrants monitoring to assess whether it reflects concerns about near-term momentum or company fundamentals.

EVP Stores Kari G. Smith sold 50,000 shares (39.4% of holdings) at blended $50.37 on 2 separate days totaling $2.5M at near 52-week high

The 39.4% portfolio reduction was executed at a blended average price of $50.37, only 0.3% below the current price of $50.51 and 18.0% below the 52-week high of $61.58. Her prior trades at BKE show a 2-of-2 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark, though cross-ticker her 90-day well-timed rate stands at 100.00% across 2 prior sells. The stock has declined 5.5% in the 30 days and 10.2% in the 90 days following this filing date, extending the pattern of her prior two same-ticker sales which registered -3.1% and -4.9% at 30 days, and -3.9% and -26.8% at 90 days respectively. Investors should monitor whether this large, deliberate reduction signals a change in executive confidence regarding near-term company trajectory.

Director Shada James sold 20,000 shares (26.5% of holdings) at $59.49 on 2025-09-05 worth $1.2M

Director Shada James executed a material reduction of 26.5% of his holdings, selling 20,000 shares at $59.49 on 2025-09-05, just $0.76 below the 52-week high of $60.25. The sale value of $1,189,716.00 reduced his position from 75,352 to 55,352 shares. The timing occurs amid strong recent momentum: BKE has risen 12.3% over 30 days and 35.2% over 90 days, though the stock trades at 15.42 P/E on recent quarterly net income of $35.2M. The company reported annual revenue decline of -3.4% against a $3.0B market cap, creating a disconnect between short-term price strength and underlying top-line contraction that warrants investor attention.

EVP Kari G Smith sells 20,000 BKE shares for $1.2M, reducing holdings -11.7%; stock up +35.2% in 90d.

Kari G Smith, EVP Stores, sold 20,000 shares at $59.36 on 2025-09-05, exiting -11.7% of her pre-transaction holdings of 170,354 shares. The stock has appreciated significantly since the sale window opened, rising +35.2% over 90 days and +12.3% over 30 days, placing it near its 52-week high of $60.25. Smith's prior sell at BKE on 2024-12-10 generated -26.8% return over 90 days, fitting her cross-ticker pattern of well-timed sells (100% timing rate across all open-market sells). However, the current timing appears inverted: the stock has trended strongly upward post-transaction, contrasting with her historical pattern of selling before declines. Fundamentally, BKE shows moderate strength with $272.1M quarterly revenue, $35.2M net income, and a P/E of 15.42, though annual revenue declined -3.4% year-over-year, which may merit investor attention relative to the stock's recent momentum.

Director Karen B. Rhoads sold 20,000 shares of BKE at $55.82, retaining 194,776 shares post-transaction.

Director Karen B. Rhoads executed a sale of 20,000 shares at $55.82 on 2025-08-25, reducing her holdings by 9.3% to 194,776 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $57.26, with the stock at $55.13 currently. BKE is trading at a P/E of 14.39 with revenue growth declining 3.4% annually, though the stock has risen 12.4% over the past 30 days and 27.7% over 90 days. The transaction represents a modest adjustment to her position in a mid-cap company with stable profitability, occurring in a recent period of strong stock performance.

SVP Sales Michelle Hoffman sells entire 39,008-share position in BKE for $2.2M after stock +27.7% in 90 days

Michelle Hoffman, SVP Sales at Buckle Inc, executed 2 separate sales on 2025-08-25, disposing of her entire holding of 39,008 shares for $2,186,258.42 at a blended average price of $56.05. The timing follows a sharp appreciation: BKE stock is up 27.7% over the preceding 90 days and +12.4% over 30 days, trading near its 52-week high of $57.26. A complete exit by a senior sales executive during a strong momentum period warrants investor attention, particularly given the company's -3.4% annual revenue decline and modest P/E of 14.39. The full liquidation of holdings by a key revenue officer signals either personal capital reallocation or a material shift in conviction at a technologically sensitive price point.

BKE CEO Nelson Dennis H sells 20,453 shares at $43.52; stock at $43.65, down 19.3% from 52-week high

NELSON DENNIS H, President & CEO of BUCKLE INC, sold 20,453 shares (20.5K shares) at $43.52 on 2025-06-11 for $890,149.33 ($890.1K), retaining 1,655,204 shares (1.66M shares) post-transaction.

His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sells with a 46.67% well-timed rate at the 90-day horizon, indicating modest success timing market downturns, though his prior five sales at BKE have not yet produced measurable 90-day outcomes. The company trades at a P/E of 11.40 with annual revenue growth of -3.4%, reflecting revenue decline from the prior fiscal year.

BKE CEO Nelson Dennis H sold 74,593 shares for $2,988,891.49 in two separate transactions (May 14-15)

CEO Dennis H executed 2 separate sales totaling 74,593 shares for $2,988,891.49, reducing his holdings from 1,750,250 to 1,675,657 shares (a -4.3% reduction). The stock has appreciated +19.3% over the past 30 days and is trading at $40.84, currently -24.5% from its 52-week high of $54.08. At the cross-ticker level, his prior 20 open-market sells have generated an average 90-day return of -2.5% with a 46.67% well-timed rate, but his same-ticker history at BKE shows 0 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with recent BKE sells (Feb 25 through May 9) showing mixed near-term outcomes ranging from -6.4% to +1.9% at the 30-day mark. The company's fundamentals show modest valuation (P/E 10.42) with annual revenue declining -3.4% year-over-year, net income of $44.2M on $293.6M quarterly revenue, and a market cap of $2.1B. The timing of this sale follows recent shares sales at the same ticker within the past two months, suggesting a pattern of periodic liquidity rather than a decisive response to recent price appreciation.

BKE President & CEO Nelson sold 15,340 shares for $560,206.84 across two trades at $36.31–$36.56; stock now down -34.6% from 52-week high.

Dennis H. Nelson, President & CEO of BUCKLE INC (BKE), executed 2 separate sales totaling 15,340 shares (a -0.9% reduction from 1.75M pre-transaction holdings) on April 8–9, 2025 at an average price of $36.52. The stock has since fallen 4.4% over 30 days and 29.9% over 90 days, currently trading at $35.35, which is 34.6% below the 52-week high of $54.08. Across his broader transaction history, Nelson's prior sells have generated an average 90-day return of +2.5% with a 30.77% well-timed rate, suggesting mixed execution; at BKE specifically, however, his 5 prior open-market sales have all been followed by declines within the 30-day window (ranging from -1.5% to -19.0%), with no yet-measurable 90-day outcomes. The company's fundamentals show a P/E of 9.02 and recent revenue contraction of -3.4% year-over-year, but the sale represents a modest position reduction from an executive holding 1.73M shares post-sale, and there is no disclosed material event or strategic driver in the filing.
