@ $3.88
Significance 4/10

Director Joseph Patrick Daly buys 1,000 shares of BUKS at $3.88 on 2026-03-20; stock up 22.4% in 30 days.

Joseph Patrick Daly purchased 1,000 shares at $3.88, bringing his holdings to 4,500,000 shares. The purchase comes as BUKS has experienced strong near-term momentum: +22.4% over the prior 30 days and +36.0% over 90 days, now trading at $4.04. Daly's same-ticker history at BUKS shows 5 prior trades, with one measurable 90-day outcome (a buy on 2025-12-23 that returned +29.5%), though most recent trades do not yet have measurable outcome windows. His cross-ticker track record reflects a 100.00% 90-day win rate with 20 prior buys averaging +62.4% 90-day returns, though this cross-ticker pattern may not predict performance at this specific ticker. The company's fundamentals are modest: $26.9M quarterly revenue, $6.7M net income, 13.03 P/E, and 7.1% annual revenue growth.

@ $3.93
Significance 4/10

Director Joseph Patrick Daly bought 745 BUKS shares at $3.93; stock +23.1% in 30 days, +38.2% in 90 days

Director Daly purchased 745 shares at $3.93 on 2026-03-19, a discretionary open-market buy that brought his total holdings to 4,500,000 shares. The transaction follows a pattern of prior BUKS purchases concentrated in late December and January; his only prior trade at this ticker with a measurable 90-day outcome (buy on 2025-10-06) realized +33.0% returns, marking 1 of 1 well-timed outcomes at this ticker. Cross-ticker, Daly's track record across 20 prior buys shows an average 90-day return of +61.0% with a 100.00% win rate. The stock has advanced +23.1% over 30 days and +38.2% over 90 days from his purchase date, outpacing his cross-ticker average; current price of $3.94 is -3.9% from the 52-week high of $4.10. The company reports a P/E of 12.71 and delivered net income of $6,699,000.00 on revenue of $26,913,000.00 in the latest quarter. The modest transaction size ($2,927.85 total value) and incremental share increase (+0.0% vs existing 4.50M holdings) suggest opportunistic accumulation rather than material repositioning.

Significance 5/10

Director Joseph Patrick Daly buys 2,678 shares of BUKS at $3.04 on 2026-01-02 amid 30-day +28.0% rally; stock near 52-week high.

Joseph Patrick Daly, a Director, purchased 2,678 shares of Butler National Corp at $3.04 on 2026-01-02, increasing his holdings to 4,360,000 shares. This transaction occurs with the stock at $3.06 (−0.6% from its 52-week high of $3.08) and follows a sharp 30-day gain of +28.0%. At the same ticker, Daly has completed four prior transactions in the past month (buys on 2025-12-29, 2025-12-26, 2025-12-23, and 2025-10-06), suggesting a pattern of frequent accumulation. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 100.00% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of +59.0%, though same-ticker outcomes are mixed—only one of five prior BUKS trades has a measurable 90-day outcome (2025-09-26: +70.6%). The fundamentals are stable: Butler National reported $23.3M revenue and $6.0M net income in the latest quarter, with 7.1% annual revenue growth and a modest P/E of 12.24, suggesting the stock is not deeply discounted. The repeated purchases near current 52-week highs warrant observation to assess whether this reflects conviction or represents opportunistic accumulation during a brief rally.

Significance 7/10

Director Daly purchases 7,322 shares (2 transactions) for $21,849.90; holdings now 4,357,322 shares; stock +27.7% (30-day), +36.9% (90-day); prior 3 buys at BUKS all well-timed at 90-day horizon.

Daly Joseph Patrick, Director of Butler National Corp, executed 2 separate open-market purchases totaling 7,322 shares for $21,849.90, increasing his holdings to 4.36M shares (a +0.2% net change). The stock has appreciated 27.7% over 30 days and 36.9% over 90 days, well above the 52-week range low of $1.38. Critically, Daly's prior 3 discretionary buys at BUKS (executed on 2025-09-24, 2025-09-25, and 2025-09-26) were all well-timed at the 90-day mark, with subsequent gains of 65.0%, 70.6%, and 70.6% respectively, demonstrating a consistent pattern of purchasing ahead of material price appreciation at this ticker. The current filing arrives during a period of strong 30- and 90-day momentum, and the blended purchase price of $2.98 sits below the current price of $3.04, positioning the insider favorably in a stock with a reasonable P/E of 12.16 and solid fundamentals ($23.3M quarterly revenue, $6.0M net income, 7.1% annual revenue growth).

Significance 6/10

Director Joseph Patrick Daly buys 472 BUKS shares at $3.12; 5th purchase in 3 months amid +63.2% 90-day surge.

Director Daly purchased 472 shares at $3.12 on 2025-12-23, adding to a substantial pre-existing position of 4,494,528 shares. This represents his fifth discretionary open-market buy at BUKS within a tight 3-month window (2025-09-23 through 2025-12-23), with four of the prior five trades showing strong subsequent returns: 30-day returns of +6.5% to +31.2% and two measurable 90-day returns of +65.0% and +75.7%. The stock has appreciated 63.2% over the past 90 days and +24.3% over the past 30 days, now trading at $2.97 versus his purchase price of $3.12. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 100% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of +48.2%, though this ticker-specific pattern of repeated purchases during a sustained price appreciation run differs from the typical sporadic insider buying signal. The company's fundamentals remain modest but stable: $23.3M quarterly revenue, $6.0M net income, and an 11.88 P/E ratio, supporting a $190.9M market cap. The repeated purchasing at progressively higher price levels warrants tracking against the insider's established timing accuracy.

Director Daly bought 4,308 shares of BUKS at $2.30 on 2025-10-06, bringing holdings to 4,490,000 shares; stock +53.9% in 30 days.

Daly Joseph Patrick, a Director, purchased 4,308 shares at $2.30 on 2025-10-06, extending a pattern of five separate buys within a single week at BUKS in late September and early October. The stock has appreciated 53.9% over the trailing 30 days and is trading at $2.37, near its 52-week high of $2.37. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market buys with an average 90-day return of +5.2% and a 100% win rate; however, these outcomes are not yet measurable for his five recent BUKS purchases. The company trades at a P/E of 10.77 with $20.1M quarterly revenue and $3.7M net income. The rapid-fire purchasing pattern, combined with substantial recent price momentum, merits monitoring to determine whether this activity correlates with material developments or reflects organic accumulation in a recovering stock.

The stock has appreciated 13.3% over 30 days and 25.5% over 90 days, and is trading at $1.87 near its 52-week high of $1.91. Across his cross-ticker track record, Daly has logged 20 prior open-market buys with an average 90-day win rate of 100.00%, though his same-ticker history at BUKS shows no yet-measurable outcomes and 0 of 0 prior buys at this ticker classified as well-timed at the 90-day mark. Fundamentals appear modest: P/E of 8.50, recent quarterly revenue of $20,125,000.00, and net income of $3,685,000.00, with annual revenue growth of +7.1%. The rapid-fire accumulation pattern warrants monitoring for disclosure of underlying catalysts or strategic intent.
