Director John J Kelley III bought 10,000 BZH shares at $21.50; holdings surge 169.0% to 15,917 shares

Director John J Kelley III purchased 10,000 shares of Beazer Homes at $21.50 on 2025-05-09, increasing his holdings by 169.0% from 5,917 to 15,917 shares and committing $215,000 to the position. The transaction occurred at a price 38.8% below the 52-week high of $35.73, though the stock has gained 19.9% over the prior 30 days and declined 8.3% over 90 days. Beazer Homes trades at a P/E of 6.96 with recent quarterly revenue of $565.3M and net income of $12.8M, suggesting a modestly valued homebuilder. The director's prior open-market trading history across all tickers shows 18 sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 33.33%, indicating mixed execution discipline, though this particular transaction reflects a material commitment to accumulate equity in this ticker at current levels.

Director SHEPHERD DANNY R bought 4,125 shares of BZH at $24.29 on 2025-02-13; cluster buy pattern with 5 other insiders in past 14 days.

Director SHEPHERD DANNY R purchased 4,125 shares at $24.29 on 2025-02-13, bringing his holdings to 91,919 shares—a +4.7% increase from pre-transaction holdings of 87,794 shares. This purchase occurs within a cluster pattern: 5 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated confidence in the stock. The purchase price is notably below the current price of $25.10 and well below the 52-week high of $35.73 (stock now trading -29.8% from high and -11.7% over 30 days). BZH's fundamentals show modest strength with annual revenue growth of +5.6% and a low P/E of 6.44, though the latest quarter net income of $3.1M is modest relative to quarterly revenue of $469.0M. The convergence of multi-insider buying activity during a period of significant price decline warrants monitoring to establish whether this reflects viewed value or signals broader conviction.

Director Johnson Lloyd Emerson doubles BZH stake to 45,000 shares at $22.23; cluster of 4 other insiders bought in past 14 days.

Johnson Lloyd Emerson, a Director, purchased 22,500 shares of Beazer Homes on 2025-02-10 at $22.23, doubling his holdings from 22,500 to 45,000 shares. This transaction occurs within a cluster context: 4 other insiders have also purchased shares within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated conviction among the leadership group. The timing context is mixed—BZH trades at $23.82 today, down 33.3% from its 52-week high of $35.73 and down 25.5% over 90 days, placing the purchase near a recent trough. Emerson's cross-ticker track record shows limited scale (1 prior buy, 1 prior sell) with positive historical returns (+2.9% avg 30d, +8.7% avg 90d across all tickers), but his timing accuracy on prior sells is 0.00%, indicating sells have not been well-timed. The company's fundamentals show compressed valuation at a P/E of 6.11 against $469.0M quarterly revenue and $3.1M net income, with 5.6% annual revenue growth. The accumulation pattern among multiple insiders at depressed share prices suggests management views current levels as attractive for capital allocation.

Significance 6/10

Director Johnson Lloyd Emerson buys 22,500 (22.5K shares) of BZH at $22.68; cluster activity from 4 other insiders in past 14 days.

Johnson Lloyd Emerson, a director at Beazer Homes, purchased 22,500 shares at $22.68 on 2025-02-07, establishing an initial stake. The transaction occurs within a broader cluster pattern: 4 other insiders have also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or coincident director-level purchasing activity. BZH trades at $22.60 currently, down 36.8% from its 52-week high of $35.73 and down 29.5% over the past 90 days, indicating the purchase was executed into a period of significant price weakness. The company maintains a low P/E ratio of 5.79 and reported $469.0M in quarterly revenue with modest annual growth of 5.6%, though recent net income of $3.1M reflects operational tightness relative to revenue scale. The cluster activity and price action warrant monitoring to determine whether this represents genuine insider confidence or other positioning factors.

BZH CFO David I Goldberg buys 443 shares at $22.80; 4-insider cluster within 14 days as stock trades -36.8% from 52-week high

SVP and CFO David I Goldberg purchased 443 shares at $22.80 on 2025-02-07, expanding his holdings to 137,094 shares. This transaction occurs in a cluster pattern: 4 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or reactive positioning by multiple officers. The stock has declined significantly from its 52-week high of $35.73, trading at $22.60 currently (-36.8% from peak), and has fallen 29.5% over the past 90 days and -11.8% over 30 days. While BZH's fundamentals show revenue of $468,953,000.00 and positive net income of $3,130,000.00 with annual revenue growth of +5.6%, the P/E of 5.79 and market cap of $705,189,788.80 position the stock at a compressed valuation relative to its recent trading range. The cluster buy pattern during a period of sustained price decline warrants examination of whether this reflects board or management-level conviction about value at current levels or other strategic considerations.

SVP/GC Dunn buys 449 shares at $22.28 as 4 other insiders also buy within 14 days; stock -36.8% from 52-week high.

Michael Anthony Dunn, SVP, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Beazer Homes, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 449 shares for $10,003.81 at an average price of $22.28. This purchase increases his holding from 11.2K shares to 11.6K shares. Notably, this transaction occurs within a cluster pattern—4 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days—suggesting coordinated or simultaneous conviction among the company's leadership. The stock is currently down 36.8% from its 52-week high of $35.73 and down 11.8% over the past 30 days, trading at $22.60. The company trades at a P/E of 5.79 with recent quarterly net income of $3.1M on revenue of $469.0M, and has posted 5.6% annual revenue growth. The cluster buying pattern during a period of significant price decline warrants attention to whether insiders view the current depressed valuation as attractive relative to forward fundamentals.

Beazer Homes CEO Merrill bought 5,000 shares at $21.83; 4 other insiders bought within 14 days as stock down 36.8% from 52-week high

MERRILL ALLAN P, as Chairman, President and CEO, purchased 5,000 shares at $21.83 on 2025-02-07, increasing his holdings from 1,261,201 to 1,266,201 shares. This open-market buy coincides with a documented cluster pattern: 4 other insiders also purchased shares within the past 14 days. The timing context is significant—BZH trades at $22.60 currently, down 36.8% from its 52-week high of $35.73 and down 29.5% over 90 days, representing a material depreciation from recent highs. The company reports a low P/E of 5.79 and posted recent quarterly net income of $3.1M on revenues of $469.0M, with annual revenue growth of 5.6%, suggesting fundamental stability despite price weakness. Coordinated insider purchases across multiple officers during a period of pronounced stock decline and depressed valuation levels warrant investor attention to the underlying signals.

Significance 6/10

Director Provencio buys 5,000 BZH shares at $21.93; 4 other insiders bought within 14 days as stock down 36.8% from 52-week high.

Director Norma Ann Provencio purchased 5,000 shares at $21.93, increasing her holdings by 89.3% to 10,600 shares. This purchase is part of a cluster pattern with 4 other insiders buying within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated internal reassessment despite significant recent price weakness. The stock has fallen 36.8% from its 52-week high of $35.73 and is down 29.5% over 90 days, though it trades at a notably low P/E of 5.79 relative to $469.0M in quarterly revenue. The cluster buying activity at depressed valuations may warrant investor attention as a signal of insider assessment, particularly given the company's modest profitability of $3.1M and recent 5.6% annual revenue growth.

Significance 4/10

Belknap Keith L Jr (EVP, General Counsel) sold 80,738 shares of BZH at $33.06 on 2024-07-16, reducing holdings by 53.5% to 70,081 shares post-transaction.

Belknap sold a substantial portion—80,738 shares (53.5% of pre-transaction holdings)—in a series of transactions at BZH, with this specific trade on 2024-07-16 at $33.06 for $2,669,359.76. The sale occurred near the 52-week high ($35.43), with the stock currently trading 7.1% below that peak. Across his prior four trades at BZH, two measurable outcomes showed mixed results: a -2.0% return 30 days post-sale (2024-05-07) and a +1.6% return 30 days post-sale (2024-05-06), with no 90-day outcomes yet available to assess longer-term timing quality. The company's fundamentals show modest weakness—annual revenue declined 4.8% year-over-year and net income of $39.2M on $541.5M quarterly revenue—while valuation at a P/E of 6.47 remains compressed relative to broader market multiples. The large reduction in equity stake, combined with the series of consecutive sales (including trades on 2024-07-15 and 2024-07-12), represents a meaningful shift in personal exposure to this business.

Significance 5/10

BZH EVP & General Counsel Belknap sold 26.8K shares in 2 transactions for $828.2K; stock up 26.8% in 90 days

Belknap Keith L Jr executed two separate sales totaling 26,762 shares for $828,248.26 at blended average price $30.95 on 2024-07-12 and 2024-07-15, reducing his holdings by 15.1% from 177,581 to 150,819 shares. At current price $33.04, the stock has appreciated 6.8% above the transaction blended average and posted a 26.8% 90-day return, substantially outperforming his cross-ticker sell track record average 90-day return of -0.2%. The sales occurred against a backdrop of deteriorating fundamentals: annual revenue declined 4.8% year-over-year, and the company carries a below-market P/E of 6.49 on quarterly net income of $39.2M. The magnitude of the liquidation and its timing relative to subsequent price strength warrant monitoring of whether this reflects either portfolio rebalancing or forward-looking sentiment about near-term capital needs.
