VP HR Technology Loop Kailee Vander buys 15.2K shares at $10.00 in 3 transactions; company unprofitable with -$364.8K net income

Kailee Vander, VP of HR Technology at EWSB Bancorp, executed 3 separate purchases totaling 15,180 shares for $151,800.00 at $10.00 per share on 2025-06-29. The transaction moves her holdings from -9,930 shares to 5,250 shares post-transaction. The purchase price of $10.00 is at the high end of the 52-week range ($8.45–$10.24), representing the stock's recent strength (+2.0% over 30 days, +3.6% over 90 days). However, this buy occurs in the context of EWSB's negative fundamentals: the company posted a full-year net income of -$364,780.00 and carries a market cap of only $7.5M. The timing and price level relative to the 52-week high warrant scrutiny, particularly given the company's unprofitability, though the insider's title (HR Technology rather than C-suite) limits the signal strength.

VP Member Experience Kory J Schneider bought 47,900 shares of EWSB at $10.00 in 2 transactions totaling $479,000.00

Kory J Schneider, VP - Member Experience, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 47,900 shares for $479,000.00 at $10.00 per share on 2025-06-29. The transaction price of $10.00 is at the upper end of the 52-week range ($8.45–$10.24), representing the stock near its 52-week high. EWSB Bancorp reported net income of $-364,780.00 over its most recent full fiscal year, indicating the company is operating unprofitably. The combination of a large insider purchase at peak valuation concurrent with negative full-year earnings creates a notable tension that warrants examination of the purchase motivation and circumstances.

VP Lending James E Mangold purchases 39,950 shares of EWSB at $10.00 on 2025-06-29, raising holdings 83.6% to 87,710 shares

James E Mangold, VP - Lending, purchased 39,950 shares at $10.00, a price at the upper end of the 52-week range of $8.45–$10.24. The transaction increased his holdings by 83.6%, from 47,760 shares to 87,710 shares, representing a material commitment of $399,500.00. However, the company reported net income of $-364,780.00 over its most recent full fiscal year and carries a modest market cap of $7,487,753.10, indicating a small-cap institution in negative earnings. The current stock price of $9.95 reflects minimal recent momentum (30-day change: +2.0%, 90-day change: +3.6%), offering limited context for assessing market reception of the purchase.

The current price of $9.95 is 2.8% below the 52-week high of $10.24. His prior buy at this ticker on 2025-05-05 registered a 90-day return of -20.7%, and across his cross-ticker track record 0 of 1 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark.

EWSB CEO Schmalz buys 2,100 shares at $10.65 in loss-making micro-cap; stock now at $9.50, down 17.4% from 52-week high.

Charles D Schmalz, President & CEO of EWSB Bancorp, purchased 2,100 shares at $10.65 on 2025-05-05, establishing an initial position of 2,100 shares valued at $22,365.00. The stock has declined to a current price of $9.50, representing a loss of approximately 10.8% from the transaction price and a 17.4% retreat from its 52-week high of $11.50. Critically, EWSB reported full-year net income of -$568,641.00 on a market capitalization of only $7,149,111.00, indicating an unprofitable micro-cap bank with minimal scale. The 30-day and 90-day price declines of -5.8% and -8.0%, respectively, combined with negative fundamentals, suggest deteriorating operating or market conditions rather than a valuation opportunity signaled by the CEO's purchase.
