Frederick D. Disanto purchased 1,000 shares at $21.25, bringing his holdings to 105.4K shares post-transaction.

The company faces headwinds with annual revenue declining -8.7% year-over-year and net income of $640.1K on revenue of $59.7M, alongside a P/E of 18.74 and market cap of $132.2M.

Director Frederick D. Disanto purchased 2,000 shares at blended average $21.10 on consecutive days; holdings increased to 103,356 shares post-transaction

Frederick D. Disanto, a Director at Eastern Co (EML), completed 2 separate purchases totaling 2,000 shares for $42,210.00 on June 11–12, 2026 at prices of $21.25 and $20.96, lifting his shareholdings from 101,356 to 103,356 shares (+2.0% vs pre-transaction holdings). The purchases occurred near the current price of $21.75 and represent a discrete open-market acquisition. Disanto's prior 5 trades at EML show mixed results: 2 of his 5 prior buys achieved positive 90-day returns (well-timed entries), while 3 did not, and his cross-ticker track record across 20 prior buys reflects a modest +7.0% 30-day average return but -4.4% 90-day average with only 20% win rate at the 90-day horizon. The company reported trailing-twelve-month revenue of $59,676,538.00 with annual revenue declining -8.7% year-over-year and net income of $640,130.00 at a P/E of 18.59—fundamentals that warrant investor scrutiny given the declining revenue trend.

Significance 6

Director Mitarotonda buys 2,000 shares of EML at $20.11; 6 other insiders also bought within 14 days, suggesting coordinated accumulation.

Director James A Mitarotonda purchased 2,000 shares at $20.11 on 2026-03-18, bringing his total holdings to 644,342 shares. This transaction occurs as part of a broader cluster pattern: 6 other insiders also bought shares within the past 14 days. At EML specifically, Mitarotonda has executed 5 prior open-market purchases in recent weeks (including two just two days prior), and his prior measurable trades at this ticker show a 2 of 2 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark. The current stock price of $20.33 reflects a -24.4% decline from the 52-week high of $26.90, yet the stock has risen 10.2% over the past 30 days. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $55.3M, a net income of $578.9K, and annual revenue growth of -8.7%, with a low P/E of 5.35. The repeated accumulation by multiple insiders at depressed valuations warrants attention as a potential reversal signal, though the company's declining revenue trend presents countervailing risk.

Significance 6

Director Scott Peggy buys 1,064 shares of EML at $20.93; 6 other insiders bought within 14 days, signaling coordinated accumulation.

Director Scott Peggy purchased 1,064 shares at $20.93 on 2026-03-16, increasing holdings to 25,086 shares. The transaction occurs amid a notable cluster: 6 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated board-level accumulation rather than isolated activity. Peggy's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with a 90-day return of +5.0%, and his sole prior EML purchase on 2025-12-16 also yielded +5.0% over 90 days, indicating consistent positive outcomes on similar timelines. However, the stock is currently down 25.6% from its 52-week high of $27.05, trading at $20.13, though it has recovered +8.2% over the past 30 days and +2.4% over 90 days. Fundamentals are mixed: the company generated $55.3M in quarterly revenue but reported net income of only $578.9K, with annual revenue declining 8.7% year-over-year and a tight P/E of 5.30 on a $121.6M market cap. The cluster buying pattern warrants monitoring to determine whether insiders view current valuations as attractive after recent weakness.

Director MITAROTONDA JAMES A buys 1,717 (1.7K shares) at $20.93; stock now -25.6% from 52-week high amid cluster of 6 concurrent insider buys.

MITAROTONDA JAMES A purchased 1,717 shares at $20.93 on 2026-03-16, bringing his holdings to 44,511 shares and adding 4.0% to his position. The timing coincides with a marked cluster: 6 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated interest in the company at current levels. His prior five trades at EML show a mixed record—2 of 3 measurable prior buys delivered positive 90-day returns (+5.0% and +2.2%)—but the stock is now trading at $20.13, down 25.6% from its 52-week high of $27.05 and only 8.2% higher on a 30-day basis. The company reports a P/E of 5.30 and annual revenue contraction of -8.7%, which may explain the depressed valuation attracting multiple insider buyers simultaneously.

Director Henry Charles W buys 989 EML shares at $20.93; 6 concurrent insider buys signal coordinated accumulation

Director Henry Charles W purchased 989 shares of Eastern Co at $20.93 on 2026-03-16, expanding his holdings to 79.2K shares, a 1.3% increase. The transaction occurs within a cluster of 6 other insider buys over the past 14 days, indicating coordinated acquisitional activity across the leadership. Critically, the stock is currently trading at $20.13, down 25.6% from its 52-week high of $27.05, yet this director's prior buys at Eastern Co (2023-05-12 and 2025-12-16) produced 90-day returns of +13.7% and +5.0% respectively, with all 3 of his prior buys at this ticker well-timed at the 90-day mark. However, fundamentals remain strained: annual revenue contracted 8.7% year-over-year, and the company generated only $578.9K in net income on $55.3M in quarterly revenue, though the P/E of 5.30 reflects valuation compression. The cluster buying pattern paired with the director's successful historical timing at this ticker warrants observation of whether this accumulation presages a recovery or reflects conviction at depressed prices.

Significance 7

Director Michael J Mardy bought 1.1K shares of EML at $20.93; cluster of 6 other insider buys in 14 days; stock -25.6% from 52-week high.

Director Michael J Mardy purchased 1,099 shares of Eastern Co (EML) at $20.93 on 2026-03-16, increasing his holdings by 6.5%, in a period when the stock trades 25.6% below its 52-week high of $27.05. The transaction coincides with a cluster pattern: 6 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or coincident appetite at depressed price levels. Mardy's own prior trades at EML have been tactically well-timed at the 90-day mark (3 of 3 prior buys were followed by gains), though the most recent buy on 2025-12-16 is still in recovery mode (30d -5.1%, 90d +5.0%). His cross-ticker track record shows strong 90-day success (62.50% win rate, avg 90d return +363.2%), though that evidence is not ticker-specific. The company's fundamentals are challenged: annual revenue declined 8.7% year-over-year, recent quarterly net income remains modest at $578.9K on $55.3M revenue, and the stock's P/E of 5.30 reflects valuation compression—context that may explain why multiple insiders are active at these price levels.

Significance 5

Director John Everets buys 1,339 shares of EML at $20.93; 6 other insiders bought in past 14 days (cluster pattern).

John Everets, a director at Eastern Co (EML), purchased 1,339 shares at $20.93 on 2026-03-16, bringing his holdings to 141,194 shares. The transaction occurs as part of a cluster pattern: 6 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or coincidental insider accumulation. Everets' cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% 90-day win rate with his prior buy at this ticker (2025-12-16) returning +5.0% over 90 days, indicating past purchases have been well-timed. However, the stock is currently trading at $20.13, down 25.6% from its 52-week high of $27.05, and the company faces headwinds with annual revenue declining 8.7% year-over-year and a modest P/E of 5.30. The cluster buying pattern warrants tracking, though the fundamental backdrop of revenue contraction tempers confidence in the signal.

Significance 6

Director Galbato Chan buys 962 EML shares at $20.93; stock now $20.13, stock up 8.2% in 30 days; 6 other insiders bought within 14 days.

Galbato Chan purchased 962 shares at $20.93 on 2026-03-16, increasing his holdings by 42.5% from 2,265 to 3,227 shares. The stock has appreciated 8.2% over the past 30 days and currently trades at $20.13, slightly below his purchase price. His prior purchase at this ticker on 2025-12-16 achieved a +5.0% 90-day return, suggesting he has successfully timed entries at EML historically. The concurrent buying activity from 6 other insiders within the past 14 days signals organized board-level accumulation, though EML's fundamentals remain mixed: the company reported $55.3M quarterly revenue with $578.9K net income, while annual revenue contracted 8.7% year-over-year and the stock trades at a low 5.30 P/E, reflecting near-trough valuation.

Significance 3

Director DiSanto Frederick D. bought 101 shares of EML at $18.99 on 2026-03-10, total $1,917.99; current price $20.16.

DiSanto Frederick D., a Director of Eastern Co (EML), purchased 101 shares at $18.99 on 2026-03-10, increasing his holdings from 99,689 to 99,790 shares (+0.1%). The transaction occurred at a price 5.8% below the current price of $20.16 and marks the sixth insider buy at EML in the past four months. However, his prior trades at this ticker show a pattern of deteriorating returns: four measurable prior buys at EML posted positive 30-day returns (+3.7% to +7.2%) but negative 90-day outcomes (-1.0% to -2.4%), with 0 of 4 prior buys well-timed at the 90-day mark. His broader cross-ticker record is similarly weak, with 20 prior buys averaging +6.1% over 30 days but -6.2% over 90 days and only a 15.79% win rate. The company's fundamentals show material headwinds: annual revenue declined 8.7% year-over-year, net income is low at $578.9K on $55.3M revenue, and the stock is trading -28.4% from its 52-week high despite a recent +7.0% 30-day rally. This purchase does not signal conviction; instead, it reflects a recurring pattern of purchases that have historically underperformed beyond the initial month.
