CMTG Claros Mortgage Trust, Inc. Insider Trading

CFO McGillis buys 20,000 CMTG shares at $2.34; stock down 34.6% in 90d, company unprofitable, 2 other insiders also bought in 14d window

McGillis Mike, President and CFO, purchased 20,000 shares at $2.34, increasing his holdings to 603,007 shares (+3.4%). This transaction occurs as CMTG stock trades at $2.31, down -44.3% from its 52-week high of $4.15 and down -34.6% over the 90-day period. The company is unprofitable with net income of $-9,528,000.00 for the latest quarter and faces significant headwinds, including -24.4% annual revenue decline and a market cap of $323,905,344.84. Notably, this purchase is part of a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. His same-ticker history is mixed: a prior March 2025 buy saw a -9.3% 90-day return, while a May 2024 buy returned +6.5% over 90 days. The timing and coordination with other insiders' purchases, combined with the company's deteriorating fundamentals and steep recent price declines, suggests monitoring for additional context.

CEO Mack Richard buys 50,000 shares of CMTG at $2.41; stock down -44.3% from 52-week high, -34.6% in 90 days

Mack Richard purchased 50,000 shares at $2.41 on 2026-02-27, increasing his holdings to 2.72M shares. The purchase occurs in a deteriorating context: CMTG stock is trading at $2.31 (current), down 44.3% from its 52-week high of $4.15, and has declined 34.6% over the past 90 days. The company is unprofitable with annual revenue contraction of -24.4% and most recent quarterly net income of -$9.5M. His prior buys at CMTG show a mixed timing record: two purchases in May 2024 generated positive 90-day returns (+16.2% and +12.8%), but three purchases in March 2025 yielded negative 90-day returns (-36.8%, -31.7%, -13.9%). A cluster pattern is present with two other insiders also buying within the past 14 days. The transaction itself is modest relative to his existing position (+1.9% increase) and total portfolio value.

Director Walter W Edward buys 25,000 shares of CMTG at $2.28, tripling holdings to 32,000 shares amid -29.4% 90-day decline.

Director Walter W Edward purchased 25,000 shares (25.0K shares) at $2.28 on 2026-02-24, increasing his holdings from 7,000 to 32,000 shares (+357.1% increase). The purchase occurred as the stock trades 43.4% below its 52-week high of $4.15 and down 29.4% over the prior 90 days. His prior CMTG purchase in May 2024 at this same price level showed a +13.3% 90-day return, suggesting the current valuation may align with historically favorable entry points for this insider. However, the company's fundamentals remain challenged: the latest quarter showed revenue of $46.1M against net income of $-9.5M, with annual revenue declining 24.4% year-over-year and the company unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. The timing and magnitude of this accumulation warrant investor scrutiny given the stock's sustained weakness and the company's deteriorating operational performance.

CEO Mack Richard bought 35,000 CMTG shares ($121.1K) over 2 days at $3.38–$3.66; blended avg $3.46. Stock now $3.99 (+27.1% in 30d).

Mack Richard (CEO and Chairman) made 2 separate purchases totaling 35,000 shares for $121,059.00 on March 12–13, 2025, at an average price of $3.46 per share. The stock currently trades at $3.99, up 27.1% over the past 30 days but down 59.9% from its 52-week high of $9.95, reflecting significant volatility and an unprofitable financial position (net income: -$56.2M, revenue down 19.0% annually). His prior trades at CMTG (3 measurable outcomes from May and June 2024) each showed positive 90-day returns of +15.8%, +13.8%, and +7.9%, establishing a pattern of well-timed purchases at this specific ticker. The filing discloses a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated conviction among the leadership team. This transaction increases his post-position to 2.60M shares (+1.4% vs prior holdings), representing a meaningful accumulation signal despite the company's recent operational challenges and depressed valuation relative to 52-week highs.

CMTG President and CFO McGillis buys 24,115 shares at $3.30; cluster pattern with 2 other insiders buying within 14 days amid -19.0% revenue decline and negative net income.

McGillis Mike, President and CFO of Claros Mortgage Trust, purchased 24,115 shares at $3.30 on 2025-03-12, adding 5.3% to his holdings of 451,830 shares. The purchase occurs within a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, which may indicate coordinated confidence from management. However, the company's fundamentals are severely challenged: revenue declined 19.0% annually, the firm reported a net loss of $56.2M on quarterly revenue of $64.9M, and the stock trades 63.7% below its 52-week high of $9.95. McGillis's prior buy at this ticker on 2024-05-24 delivered positive 90-day returns of 6.5%, suggesting his earlier judgment proved sound over that horizon. The current transaction at $3.30 is substantially below historical highs, and his prior timing pattern at CMTG was well-timed at the 90-day mark, but execution in a loss-making, revenue-shrinking business warrants scrutiny of whether prior returns reflect broader market movement or company-specific recovery signals.

Director Richman Steven Leonard bought 5,000 shares of CMTG at $3.40 on 2025-03-12, part of a 3-insider cluster buy while company is unprofitable and stock down 63.7% from 52-week high.

Richman Steven Leonard purchased 5,000 shares at $3.40, increasing his holdings by 37.0% to 18,500 shares, while the stock trades 63.7% below its 52-week high of $9.95 and the company reports a negative net income of $-56,218,000.00 for the latest quarter. A cluster pattern emerged with 2 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or coincidental insider accumulation during a period of significant stock depreciation. The company also experienced annual revenue decline of -19.0% year-over-year and is unprofitable on a full-year basis, creating a complex backdrop where insider buying occurs amid deteriorating financial performance and a deeply depressed stock price. This combination—multiple insider purchases at depressed valuations coupled with negative earnings and declining revenues—warrants examination of whether insiders perceive value at current levels or if other factors explain the buying pattern.

CEO Mack Richard bought 115,000 shares of CMTG at $3.19 on 2025-03-10 (total $367.2K), raising holdings to 2.56M shares amid cluster buy pattern.

Mack Richard, as CEO and chairman, purchased 115,000 shares at $3.19, a notable 4.7% increase to his 2.56M share position at a time when the stock is -65.6% from its 52-week high of $9.95. The transaction occurred as part of a cluster buy pattern, with 2 other insiders also purchasing within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated confidence at depressed valuations. His same-ticker trade history at CMTG shows 3 prior buys all achieved positive 90-day returns (ranging from +7.9% to +15.8%), demonstrating consistent well-timed entry discipline at this specific ticker. However, the company's fundamentals present material headwinds: CMTG posted negative net income of $-56.2M over its most recent full fiscal year, with annual revenue declining 19.0% year-over-year and the latest quarterly revenue at only $64.9M, indicating structural profitability challenges independent of near-term stock price recovery.
