CLRO CLEARONE INC Insider Trading

First Finance Ltd. (10% owner) purchases 437,500 shares of CLRO for $1.8M; stock down 65.7% from 52-week high, company posted -$13.7M net income.

First Finance Ltd., already holding a substantial 1.20M shares, invested $1,750,000.00 to purchase an additional 437,500 shares at $4.00 on March 2, 2026, increasing its stake by 36.3% to 1.64M shares total. The company exhibits severe operational distress: revenue is $0.00 for the latest quarter, net income stands at -$13,736,000.00 for the fiscal year, and annual revenue declined 39.1% year-over-year, while the market cap sits at just $7,890,837.50. The stock is currently trading at $4.55, down 65.7% from its 52-week high of $13.27 and down 29.2% over the past 30 days, indicating sustained deterioration in investor confidence. An insider with existing material ownership expanding an already-significant position by over one-third into a company with zero current quarterly revenue and substantial ongoing losses presents a pattern that warrants investor scrutiny into the insider's strategic rationale and access to non-public information about operational recovery prospects.

10% owner Edward D Bagley sells 700,000 CLRO shares at $3.00; stock now $4.68, down 76.2% from 52-week high

Edward D Bagley, a 10% owner, sold 700,000 shares (83.3% of his pre-transaction holdings) at $3.00 on 2025-11-24, reducing his stake from 840,668 shares to 140,668 shares. The sale occurred at a price significantly below the current market price of $4.68 and well below the 52-week high of $19.65 (stock has declined 76.2% from its peak and 21.0% over the past 30 days). At the same ticker, Bagley's 5 prior trades were all buys executed between 2023 and 2025, each followed by substantial 90-day returns (ranging from +1091.7% to +3714.8%), indicating a consistent pattern of well-timed entry points. The company's fundamentals are severely deteriorated: revenue is $0.00 (latest quarter), full-year net income was $-13,736,000.00, and annual revenue contracted 39.1% year-over-year, with a market cap of only $8,116,290.00. Bagley's shift from a pattern of accumulative buys to a massive liquidation of 83.3% of holdings, executed into a collapsed stock price and declining business, stands in sharp contrast to his historical timing acumen at this ticker.

10% owner BAGLEY purchases 2,000,000 shares at $0.50; replicates pattern of 5 prior CLRO buys, each generating 90d gains exceeding 1,500%.

Edward D. Bagley, a 10% owner of ClearOne Inc., acquired 2,000,000 shares at $0.50 per share on 2025-02-26, bringing his holdings to 12,590,528 shares (+18.9% increase). This transaction mirrors the timing and structure of his five prior purchases at CLRO on consecutive dates from 2023-12-06 through 2023-12-14, each of which produced 90-day returns ranging from 1,586.9% to 3,714.8%. The company's fundamentals remain challenged—latest quarterly revenue was $2,504,000 with a net loss of $-2,062,000, and annual revenue contracted 25.8% year-over-year—yet Bagley's historical success at this ticker (5 of 5 prior buys achieving 90-day gains) suggests he may have identified opportunities within these depressed conditions. The current share price of $7.76 sits 74.9% below the 52-week high of $30.90, creating price contrast with his prior purchase points, and his cross-ticker open-market track record shows 20 prior buys with a 100.00% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of 1,878.2%. This large accumulation by a significant shareholder, combined with his consistent pattern of well-timed buys in a fundamentally distressed company, warrants monitoring for any emerging strategic catalysts or restructuring signals.
