CTO CTO Realty Growth, Inc. Insider Trading

CTO Realty CEO Albright purchases 2,000 shares at $16.38; part of 4-insider cluster buy; CEO holds 634.5K shares post-transaction

John P Albright, President & CEO, purchased 2,000 shares at $16.38 on 2025-09-11 as part of a cluster pattern in which 4 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. The stock trades -20.9% from its 52-week high of $20.68 and has declined 9.5% over the past 90 days, though Albright's cross-ticker track record shows a 100% win rate on prior buys with an average 90-day return of +7.9%. At CTO specifically, his prior buy on 2023-09-25 returned +7.9% at 90 days, though his June 2025 purchase has returned +3.5% at 30 days; his November 2024 sale was well-timed (the stock fell 3.4% subsequently). Against this backdrop, the company's fundamentals are challenged: it reported a net loss of $23.4M in the latest quarter and was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, though annual revenue grew 14.1% year-over-year to $37.6M. The concurrent buying by multiple insiders during a period of negative stock momentum and ongoing unprofitability is the primary signal for monitoring.

CTO SVP & CAO bought 750 shares at $16.60; 4 other insiders also bought in past 14 days amid unprofitability

Vorakoun Lisa, SVP & Chief Accounting Officer, purchased 750 shares at $16.60 on 2025-09-12, increasing her holdings to 46,759 shares. This transaction is noteworthy because it is part of a cluster pattern: 4 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. Notably, the company reported a net income of $-23.4M in its latest quarter and was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, while revenue grew 14.1% year-over-year. The stock is trading 21.8% below its 52-week high of $21.15, and the current price of $16.53 is just 0.07 below the transaction price, suggesting the market has not moved materially since the purchase. The multi-insider buying activity in a period of reported losses and depressed valuation relative to recent highs warrants attention to whether management perceives value at current levels or whether the activity reflects other motivations.

SVP & Chief Investment Officer Greathouse buys 600 CTO shares at $16.70; 4 insiders bought within 14 days amid -21.8% YTD decline.

Greathouse Steven Robert, SVP & Chief Investment Officer, purchased 600 shares at $16.70, bringing his holdings to 184,889 shares post-transaction. This transaction is part of a cluster pattern: 4 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or independently motivated accumulation at a time when CTO trades 21.8% below its 52-week high of $21.15. However, the company reported a net loss of $23.4M in its latest quarter despite annual revenue growth of 14.1%, raising questions about the source of conviction behind multiple insider purchases. The timing coincides with material deterioration in valuation (90-day decline of 8.2%), but without scheduled trading plan disclosure, the motivation for this cluster activity remains unclear.

CTO CEO John P Albright buys 4,200 shares at $16.53; cluster buy pattern with 2 others in 14 days amid unprofitable year.

CEO John P Albright purchased 4,200 shares at $16.53, increasing holdings to 632.5K shares, part of a cluster pattern with 2 other insiders buying within the past 14 days. The company reported negative net income of $-23.4M in its most recent full fiscal year while generating $37.6M in latest-quarter revenue with annual growth of +14.1%. At the transaction price of $16.53, the stock trades -21.6% from its 52-week high of $21.15 and is up +0.5% over 30 days but down -7.9% over 90 days. Albright's cross-ticker track record shows a 100% win rate with an average 90-day return of +7.9% on 4 prior buys, though same-ticker history at CTO is mixed: a buy on 2023-09-25 returned +7.9% at 90 days, but a more recent buy on 2025-06-26 shows +3.5% at 30 days with 90-day outcome not yet measurable. The multi-insider buy activity combined with management accumulation at a depressed price level warrants monitoring.

CFO Philip Mays bought 1,000 shares of CTO at $16.61; stock at $16.58 current, -21.6% from 52-week high; company unprofitable with -$23.4M net income

Philip Mays, SVP, CFO & Treasurer, purchased 1,000 shares at $16.61 on 2025-09-11, increasing his holdings to 14,841 shares. The purchase occurs near the 52-week low ($16.27) and 21.6% below the 52-week high, reflecting a period of significant stock decline. CTO Realty Growth is currently unprofitable (latest full-year net income was -$23.4M) despite showing annual revenue growth of 14.1%, which presents a mixed fundamental picture. A cluster pattern is evident: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. This synchronized insider accumulation near depressed valuations may indicate management sees value at current levels, though the company's ongoing losses and the CFO's modest purchase size ($16.6K) relative to total holdings warrant context on the strength of this signal.

SVP Daniel Earl Smith purchased 1,000 shares of CTO at $16.50; 2 other insiders bought within 14 days

Smith Daniel Earl, SVP and General Counsel, purchased 1,000 shares at $16.50 on 2025-09-11, adding to holdings of 194.5K shares post-transaction. The transaction occurs while CTO trades at $16.58 (current), down 21.6% from its 52-week high of $21.15. At the same-ticker level, Smith's two prior purchases at CTO (on 2025-06-26 and 2023-03-17) achieved 90-day returns of +3.8% (outcome not yet measurable) and +5.6% respectively, with the 2023 trade showing 100% accuracy on timing. The filing also identifies a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders acquired shares within the past 14 days. The company's fundamentals show recent quarterly revenue of $37.6M with an annual growth rate of +14.1%, but the company posted a net loss of $-23.4M in its most recent quarter and was unprofitable over the full fiscal year. The purchase price sits well below the 52-week high, and the concurrent cluster buy by other insiders within a 14-day window may suggest internal assessment of value at current levels despite the company's negative profitability.

Director George R Brokaw bought 2,000 shares of CTO at $16.94; 3 other insiders also bought in past 14 days amid -18.2% 52-week decline.

Director George R Brokaw purchased 2,000 shares at $16.94 on 2025-06-26, increasing his holdings from 89,701 to 91,701 shares. This transaction occurs within a cluster pattern: 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. The timing is notable given CTO's recent price weakness—the stock trades at $17.30, -18.2% from its 52-week high and down 10.4% over the past 90 days. Contextually, CTO reported revenue of $35.8M with net income of $2.3M last quarter, though the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, creating mixed fundamental signals. The cluster buying activity by multiple insiders warrants attention as a potential signal of management's assessment of valuation at current depressed levels.

CTO CFO Mays buys 1,000 shares at $17.29; 3 other insiders bought within 14 days as stock down 18.2% from 52-week high

Philip Mays, serving as SVP, CFO & Treasurer, purchased 1,000 shares at $17.29 on 2025-06-26, increasing his holdings from 12,841 to 13,841 shares. This transaction is noteworthy because it is part of a cluster buy pattern—3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days—suggesting coordinated or consensus-driven acquisition activity at the executive level. The stock is currently trading at $17.30, down 18.2% from its 52-week high of $21.15, and has declined 10.4% over the past 90 days, creating a context of recent price weakness. However, CTO reported full-year net income was negative despite posting quarterly revenue of $35.8M and annual revenue growth of +14.1%, indicating the company faces profitability headwinds even as top-line momentum persists. The convergence of executive buying during a period of stock decline and sub-par profitability metrics warrants investor scrutiny of management's confidence in near-term operational improvement.

CTO President & CEO Albright buys 3,800 shares at $17.05; 3 other insiders bought in past 14 days; stock down 18.2% from 52-week high.

John P. Albright, President & CEO of CTO Realty Growth, purchased 3,800 shares at $17.05 on 2025-06-26 worth $64,808.24, increasing his holdings from 624,547 shares to 628,347 shares. This buy coincides with a cluster pattern: 3 other insiders have also purchased within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated conviction at management levels. However, context matters: the stock is currently trading 18.2% below its 52-week high and down 5.3% over the past 30 days, while the company reported full-year net income was negative despite quarterly revenue of $35,811,000 and annual revenue growth of 14.1%. At the same ticker, Albright's prior trades show a 2 of 2 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark (a 2023 buy returned +7.9% over 90 days, and a 2024 sell preceded a -3.4% decline), though such small sample sizes carry limited predictive power.

CTO SVP/General Counsel bought 1,000 shares at $17.00; stock down 18.2% from 52-week high; 3 other insiders bought within 14 days

Smith Daniel Earl, SVP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, purchased 1,000 shares of CTO Realty Growth at $17.00 on 2025-06-26, expanding his post-transaction holdings to 193,496 shares. The purchase occurs as the stock trades -18.2% from its 52-week high of $21.15 and -5.3% below its 30-day average, suggesting acquisition at a relatively depressed price point within recent trading ranges. A cluster pattern emerges: 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, indicating coordinated senior-level confidence in the valuation despite the company's unprofitability over its most recent full fiscal year. This insider's own prior trade at CTO (a buy on 2023-03-17) delivered +5.6% gains over 90 days, and his cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% win rate with an average 90-day return of +5.6%, though the single prior transaction at this ticker and limited sample size warrant caution in extrapolating predictive power.
