DIN Dine Brands Global, Inc. Insider Trading

Director Douglas M. Pasquale bought 1,000 shares of DIN at $27.75 on 2026-03-13; stock now $27.65, down -28.8% from 52-week high.

Director Pasquale purchased 1,000 shares at $27.75, increasing his holdings by 3.2% to 32,468 shares, as DIN stock trades near its recent lows—down -28.8% from its 52-week high of $38.81 and -12.9% over the past 30 days. This buy follows a rapid series of five purchases at DIN over the prior four trading days (2026-03-03 through 2026-03-12), all within an extremely compressed window, which deviates from typical discretionary insider buying patterns and suggests either systematic accumulation or portfolio activity tied to a pre-arranged schedule rather than reactive conviction. The company itself posted solid fundamentals (Revenue $216.2M, +8.2% annual growth, P/E 24.91) and positive net income of $7.3M, though the stock's -18.3% decline over 90 days indicates investor sentiment has decoupled from operational performance. Without a measurable post-purchase outcome window, and absent evidence of prior well-timed trades at this ticker, the transaction reflects activity in a stock under pressure but does not yet constitute a clear directional signal.

Director Pasquale Douglas bought 3,000 shares at blended average $28.50 in 3 separate trades (Mar 9-12), adding 10.5% to holdings as stock trades -27.5% from 52-week high.

Pasquale Douglas, a Director at Dine Brands Global, executed 3 separate purchases totaling 3,000 shares for $85,500.00 between March 9 and March 12, 2026, bringing his post-transaction holdings to 31,468 shares. The timing coincides with a sharp price decline: the stock is currently $28.12, down -19.6% over 30 days and -27.5% from its 52-week high of $38.81. The director's series of purchases at $29.00, $28.00, and $28.50 during this downturn represents a material increase in his stake relative to his pre-transaction holdings of 28,468 shares. However, his prior trades at DIN (4 recent buys on March 2, 2, 3, and 9) have not yet produced measurable 90-day outcomes, limiting visibility into whether this pattern reflects recurring buying behavior or a response to specific near-term price action in a company with reasonable fundamentals (annual revenue growth of 8.2%, market cap $366.9M).

Director Pasquale Douglas M bought 500 DIN shares at $30.00 on 2026-03-09, expanding holdings to 23,522 shares as stock trades at $30.86, down 20.5% from 52-week high.

Director Pasquale Douglas M purchased 500 shares at $30.00, adding modestly to an existing 23,022-share position. The transaction occurred as Dine Brands' stock trades near recent lows: the current price of $30.86 sits 20.5% below the 52-week high of $38.81 and has declined 14.3% over the past 30 days. This buy follows two prior purchases at DIN within the previous week (2026-03-03 and 2026-03-02), suggesting consecutive accumulation activity by this director. The fundamentals show a modestly profitable operation with $216.2M in quarterly revenue, $7.3M in net income, and 8.2% annual revenue growth, though the P/E of 27.80 reflects market skepticism. The outsized pricing and near-term downward momentum create context for the repeated accumulation, though measurable outcomes from the director's recent DIN trades remain unavailable.

Director Pasquale Douglas purchases 3,000 shares (15% increase) across 3 transactions totaling $89,309.80 at blended average $29.77

Pasquale Douglas, a director at Dine Brands Global, executed 3 separate purchases totaling 3,000 shares (3.0K shares) for $89,309.80 (blended average $29.77) on March 2-3, 2026, increasing his holdings from 20,022 shares to 23,022 shares (+15.0%). The transactions occurred when the stock was trading near recent weakness—currently at $31.22, the stock is -19.6% from its 52-week high and down -11.6% over the past 30 days. Dine Brands shows solid fundamentals with $216.2M in quarterly revenue, annual growth of +8.2%, and positive earnings ($7.3M net income), though the P/E of 28.13 reflects elevated valuation expectations. The purchase price of $29.77 sits meaningfully below the current $31.22 quote, representing execution during a pullback period within the stock's 52-week range of $18.77–$38.81.

Director Martha Poulter purchased 650 DIN shares at $33.16; holding grew 10.1% to 7,074 shares

Martha Poulter, a director of Dine Brands Global, purchased 650 shares at $33.16 on 2025-12-05, increasing her holdings by 10.1% to 7,074 shares. The purchase occurred near the 52-week high ($34.49 current price is -0.3% from the $34.60 peak), following a sharp 30-day rally of +38.5% and a 90-day advance of +47.3%. The company is trading at a P/E of 14.43 with modest recent fundamentals: $216.2M in latest-quarter revenue and $7.3M in net income, against a -2.3% annual revenue decline year-over-year. The timing and scale of this open-market purchase merit observation given the stock's recent strength and the director's discretionary positioning within the $18.77–$34.60 range.

Director Richard J Dahl buys 3.6K DIN shares at $27.47; first position acquired

Richard J Dahl, a director, purchased 3,600 shares at $27.47 on 2025-11-21, establishing an initial 3.6K-share position in Dine Brands Global. The transaction occurred at a price approximately 2.6% below the current price of $28.20 and 23.5% below the 52-week high of $35.92. The company trades at a P/E of 11.80 with a market cap of $406.7M and a quarterly revenue of $216.2M offset by modest net income of $7.3M, reflecting compressed margins typical of the restaurant franchise sector. This is a modest-sized buy by a director with no prior position in the stock, and it occurs within a context of neutral recent momentum (30-day change +1.7%, though 90-day trend is stronger at +25.1%).

Director Berk Howard bought 4,082 shares of DIN at $24.50; holdings rise to 41,946 shares (+10.8%)

Berk Howard, a director of Dine Brands Global, purchased 4,082 shares at $24.50 on 2025-11-07, increasing his holdings by 10.8% to 41,946 shares and committing $100,009.00 to the transaction. The stock currently trades at $24.90, only 1.6% above the purchase price, and sits 30.8% below its 52-week high of $35.99 while up 18.2% over the past 90 days. The company trades at a P/E of 10.42 with a market cap of $359,150,105.10, though year-over-year annual revenue has declined by 2.3%. This open-market acquisition represents a modest expansion of an existing substantial position rather than an entry signal, and the small margin between purchase and current price suggests no meaningful mark-to-market gain has accrued since execution.

CEO Peyton John W. buys 4,523 shares of DIN at $22.11; stock down -41.1% from 52-week high, trading near lows.

Peyton John W., as Chief Executive Officer, purchased 4,523 shares at $22.11 on 2025-08-19, increasing his holdings from 185,040 to 189,563 shares (+2.4%). This marks his second open-market purchase at Dine Brands Global. The timing occurs against significant headwinds: DIN is trading -41.1% below its 52-week high of $35.99, down -15.7% over the trailing 30 days, and has contracted -2.3% in annual revenue growth with net income of $13,814,000. His prior buy at this ticker on 2023-11-06 delivered a +4.4% 90-day return, and across his full cross-ticker track record, 1 prior buy had a 100% 90-day win rate (avg +4.4% return), suggesting historical execution quality. The purchase at depressed price levels during broad weakness, paired with his retention of 189.6K shares post-transaction and demonstrated prior success in timing similar trades, contrasts against near-term momentum deterioration and flat-to-negative fundamental trends.

CFO Chang Vance YuWen bought 2,340 shares of DIN at $21.10; stock -41.1% from 52-week high, P/E 7.04

CFO Chang Vance YuWen purchased 2,340 shares at $21.10, increasing holdings by 4.5% to 54,130 shares. This open-market buy occurs as the stock trades at a 52-week low relative to its range ($21.19 current, -41.1% from $35.99 high), and the P/E of 7.04 is exceptionally compressed. The insider's prior buy at this same ticker in November 2023 generated a +4.6% 90-day return, and his cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with a 100% win rate and +4.6% average 90-day return. The recent 30-day and 90-day price declines (-15.7% and -8.3%) establish a depressed price backdrop for this purchase, though the company's revenue remains substantial at $230.8M with positive net income of $13.8M.
