Kleiser executed a multi-leg transaction on 2026-06-10, selling 6,000 shares across 2 transactions and purchasing 6,200 shares across 3 transactions, resulting in a net addition of 200 shares to his holdings at CLST. The purchase prices ranged from $16.09 to $16.13, while sales averaged $16.04, slightly below the purchase prices. At the current price of $16.02, the stock is trading 11.8% below its 52-week high of $18.16, having declined 2.7% over the past 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 8 prior buys averaging +4.9% 30-day return and +8.3% 90-day return (100% win rate), though his prior sales at other tickers have been poorly timed (17.0% average 90-day return, 0% well-timed rate). At CLST specifically, his 5 prior trades showed mixed timing, with 2 of 5 well-timed at the 90-day mark.

Director Kleiser Kirk E. nets 4,750-share buy (4.8K shares) at CLST; offsetting sales total same volume for near-zero net.

Kleiser Kirk E., a director at Catalyst Bancorp, executed 5 offsetting transactions on 2025-10-28, with 3 separate sales totaling 4,750 shares for $63,668.05 and 2 purchases totaling 4,750 shares for $63,696.04—resulting in zero net change to his position. The transactions were concentrated at prices between $13.39 and $13.43, within a narrow band near the current price of $13.66. His prior trades at CLST have consistently demonstrated positive 90-day returns (ranging 5.7%–6.2% across 4 trades in June 2025, and +0.6% from a November 2024 buy), with all 5 prior CLST purchases well-timed; however, this filing's structure—equal buys and sells at nearly identical total values—does not reflect conviction-driven accumulation. The company's fundamentals remain challenged: although the most recent quarter posted net income of $521,000, the full fiscal year was unprofitable, and the stock trades at a P/E of 25.77 on a $56.5M market cap. The near-neutral execution suggests portfolio rebalancing rather than a directional signal.

Director Kleiser Kirk E. bought 1,750 shares at blended avg $12.28 in 4 transactions on 2025-06-11

Kleiser Kirk E., a Catalyst Bancorp Director, executed 4 separate purchases totaling 1,750 shares for $21,492.35 on 2025-06-11 at prices ranging from $12.24 to $12.30, with a blended average price of $12.28. His prior 5 open-market trades at Catalyst Bancorp show a consistent pattern of well-timed buying: 5 of 5 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with positive 90-day returns ranging from 0.6% to 25.4%. His cross-ticker track record is equally strong, posting a 100% win rate on his prior 5 buys with an average 90-day return of 14.4%. The current purchase at $12.28 is trading at -0.1% from the 52-week high of $12.29, suggesting the director is buying near the upper end of recent price ranges. However, context matters: the company reported a negative net income over its most recent full fiscal year despite the current P/E of 23.62, indicating he is accumulating shares in a company with concerning recent profitability despite near-52-week-high pricing.

Catalyst Bancorp CEO Joseph B Zanco buys 14,583 shares for $172,423.15 across 2 purchases, increasing stake 196.4%

Zanco Joseph B, President and CEO of Catalyst Bancorp, Inc., executed 2 separate open-market purchases totaling 14,583 shares for $172,423.15 at a blended average price of $11.82, nearly tripling his shareholding from 7,426 to 22,009 shares. The purchases occurred on 2024-12-02 and 2024-12-03 at prices ($11.79 and $11.87) very close to the current market price of $11.80 and within the 52-week range of $10.71–$12.10. With a P/E of 84.29 and net income of only $447,000.00 against a $51.2M market cap, the company exhibits highly compressed earnings relative to valuation, making the motivation for the CEO's substantial increase in personal exposure worth close monitoring. The magnitude of the stake increase—a 196.4% addition to prior holdings—represents a material reallocation of the CEO's personal capital into the company.

Director Kleiser Kirk E. buys 1,900 shares of CLST at $11.64, increasing holdings 76.0% to 4,400 shares; prior four trades at this ticker well-timed at 90-day horizon.

Kleiser's purchase of 1,900 shares represents a material 76.0% increase in his shareholding at Catalyst Bancorp. His timing pattern across this ticker is notably consistent: all 4 prior CLST trades showed positive 90-day returns (ranging from +7.9% to +25.4%), indicating a sustained track record of purchasing before upward moves. His cross-ticker track record reinforces this pattern, with a 100.00% win rate over 90 days across 4 prior buys (average +17.8% return). The stock currently trades at $11.65, near the lower end of its 52-week range ($10.87–$12.05), having risen 3.9% over 30 days and 0.0% over 90 days. The high P/E of 83.21 against modest net income of $447,000.00 suggests the equity market has priced in growth expectations; Kleiser's accumulation at these levels merits investor attention given his demonstrated ability to enter at favorable timing windows at this ticker.
