Significance 6/10

Director Jubran Raja J. purchases 9,147 shares of FBK for $500,099.87, raising holdings 18.8%

Director Jubran Raja J. executed 2 purchases totaling 9,147 shares at blended average price $54.67 on 2025-10-16, increasing his stake from 48,663 shares to 57,810 shares (+18.8%). This is a material accumulation—the largest single filing transaction—at prices modestly above the current price of $53.38 but below the 52-week high of $59.24. Notably, his prior 2 trades at FBK were both well-timed at the 90-day mark (returns of +21.3% and +19.6%), suggesting pattern recognition; his broader cross-ticker track record shows 100.00% win rate on 2 prior buys with average 90d return of +28.3%. The stock trades at a elevated P/E of 31.77 relative to modest net income of $2.9M, warranting attention to whether this accumulation reflects conviction or reflects execution amid market conditions.

Significance 5/10

Director Cross buys 7,200 shares of FBK at $40.49; stock down 29.9% from 52-week high.

Director James W Cross IV purchased 7,200 shares at $40.49, increasing his holdings by 13.3% to 61,278 shares. The transaction occurred when FBK was trading 29.9% below its 52-week high of $57.73, and the stock has declined 22.5% over the past 90 days and 13.4% over the past 30 days. At the $40.48 current price, the stock is near the transaction price, indicating the purchase was made in the context of a sustained downtrend. The company has a P/E of 18.32 and market cap of $1,889,532,524.00, reflecting a mid-sized financial institution. Without additional context on whether this purchase follows a prior transaction pattern or falls outside scheduled trading arrangements, the significance appears moderate given the director's meaningful increase to his stake during a period of price weakness.

Significance 6/10

10% owner Ayers buys 2,000 shares of FBK at $48.51; stock down 17.2% from 52-week high, recent weakness despite strong historical track record

Ayers James W., a 10% owner, purchased 2,000 shares of FB Financial Corp at $48.51 on 2025-03-04, adding to a substantial existing position of 10,931,841 shares post-transaction. The purchase occurs against a deteriorating price backdrop: FBK is trading at $47.79, down 17.2% from its 52-week high of $57.73 and down 8.1% over the past 30 days. While Ayers' cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with an 80.00% 90-day win rate and an average 90-day return of +5.2%, the same-ticker history at FBK is recent and mixed—four prior purchases in early February lack yet-measurable outcomes, and the only measurable trade (2025-02-03 buy) shows a -8.2% 30-day return. The timing of this buy into current weakness, combined with the lack of positive vindication from recent prior FBK trades, warrants observation of whether this accumulation signals conviction in a valuation opportunity or reflects a shift in the insider's assessment.

Significance 7/10

10% owner Ayers James W. buys 2,000 FBK shares at $48.93 amid 5-day buying streak; stock down 4.3% in 30 days

Ayers James W., a 10% owner of FB Financial Corp, purchased 2,000 shares at $48.93 on 2025-02-26, bringing his post-transaction holdings to 10,929,841 shares. This purchase represents part of an active accumulation pattern: same-ticker history shows 5 consecutive buys between 2025-01-31 and 2025-02-26 (all outcomes not yet measurable at the 90-day window). Across his cross-ticker open-market history, Ayers has demonstrated a 81.82% 90-day win rate with an average 90d return of +5.2%, though that track record cannot be assumed to extend automatically to FBK transactions. The current price of $50.52 sits 12.5% below the 52-week high of $57.73, and the stock has declined 4.3% over the past 30 days and 10.5% over 90 days. The repeated purchasing at declining prices over five consecutive trading days may reflect conviction in valuation or simply scheduled accumulation; the upcoming measurement windows will clarify whether this pattern of recent buys proves prescient or remains misaligned with subsequent price movement at FBK.

Significance 6/10

10% owner Ayers bought 2,000 shares of FBK at $51.83 on 2025-02-12; 5th consecutive buy in 12 days.

Ayers James W., a 10% owner of FB Financial Corp, purchased 2,000 shares at $51.83 on 2025-02-12, increasing holdings from 10,925,841 to 10,927,841 shares. This transaction is part of an accelerated buying pattern: Ayers has executed five consecutive purchases between 2025-01-31 and 2025-02-12, suggesting a deliberate accumulation during a period when the stock is trading 10.0% below its 52-week high and down 1.0% over the past 30 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market buys with an 83.33% 90-day win rate and a +10.0% average 30-day return, establishing a track record of favorable entry timing. However, at the same ticker (FBK), prior measurable outcomes are limited—only one prior buy from 2025-01-10 shows a +9.4% 30-day return, with no completed 90-day outcomes yet to assess predictive value at this specific company. The concentrated buying activity over a compressed timeframe in a stock trading near its cyclical trough warrants monitoring for developments at the company that may have motivated the accumulation.

Significance 6/10

10% owner Ayers buys 4,000 shares in 2 tranches for $210,960.00 at FB Financial; holdings near 10.93M shares post-transaction.

James W. Ayers, a 10% shareholder in FB Financial, executed two open-market purchases totaling 4,000 shares on 2025-02-07 and 2025-02-10 at an average price of $52.74, spending $210,960.00. His cumulative holdings now stand at 10,925,841 shares, a net addition of 4,000 shares or 0.0% increase from prior holdings. At the current price of $53.36, the stock is trading 7.6% below its 52-week high of $57.73 while showing near-term strength of +9.3% over the past 30 days. Ayers' cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with an average 90-day return of +5.2% and an 85.71% win rate, though his same-ticker history at FB Financial—comprising 5 recent prior purchases—has not yet generated measurable 90-day outcomes and shows zero prior buys that were well-timed by the 90-day measure.

Significance 6/10

10% owner James W. Ayers buys 4,000 shares at blended $52.32 across 2 purchases in January-February

James W. Ayers, a 10% owner, made 2 open-market purchases totaling 4,000 shares for $209,260.00 at prices of $52.56 on 2025-01-31 and $52.07 on 2025-02-03, with a blended average price of $52.32. At current price of $53.51, these purchases are modestly in-the-money. In context of the stock's 52-week range of $34.33–$57.73, the purchases occurred near recent highs; the stock is currently -7.3% from its 52-week high and up 4.4% over 30 days. Ayers' cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 92.86% 90-day win rate, though prior 90-day measurable outcomes at FBK itself are limited and mixed (including a -1.8% return from his 2024-11-11 purchase). The 4,000-share addition represents a +0.0% change to his post-transaction holdings of 10,921,841 shares, indicating modest incremental activity by a major shareholder.

Significance 6/10

10% owner Ayers bought 4,000 shares across 2 transactions for $197,440 at FBK (Jan 8–10), stock down 13.0% in 30 days.

Ayers James W., a 10% shareholder, executed two purchases totaling 4,000 shares on 2025-01-08 ($50.26) and 2025-01-10 ($48.46), blending to $49.36 per share. The stock currently trades at $48.80, down 13.0% over the past 30 days and 15.5% from its 52-week high of $57.73, placing the company in a near-term downturn. Across Ayers' cross-ticker open-market history, his prior 20 buys averaged +8.4% 30-day return and 80% win rate; however, at FBK specifically, his 5 prior trades show mixed near-term results (ranging from -1.8% to +10.7% at 30 days), with no measurable 90-day outcomes yet. The recent purchases occur during a period of price weakness, but the filing provides no evidence of scheduled/non-discretionary execution—meaning timing is a factual aspect of this filing to observe.

Significance 5/10

10% owner Ayers buys 2,000 FBK shares at $51.40; stock down 9.5% in 30 days to $50.27

Ayers James W., a 10% owner of FB Financial Corp, purchased 2,000 shares at $51.40 on 2025-01-06, increasing his holdings from 10,911,841 shares to 10,913,841 shares. The purchase occurred as FBK trades 12.9% below its 52-week high of $57.73 and is down 9.5% over the prior 30 days. At the same-ticker level, Ayers has made 5 prior purchases at FBK since late October 2024, most recently on 2025-01-08, establishing a pattern of accumulation. His cross-ticker buy track record shows an 80.00% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of +2.6%, though his same-ticker 90-day outcomes at FBK remain unmeasurable to date. This modest buy into a recent price decline adds to a visible accumulation phase by a major shareholder, though the transaction size is small relative to his pre-existing 10.91M share position.

Significance 6/10

FBK 10% owner James W. Ayers buys 2,000 shares at $51.86; cross-ticker track record shows 85.71% 90-day win rate.

Ayers, a significant 10% owner of FB Financial Corp, purchased 2,000 shares at $51.86, adding minimally to his 10.91M-share position. The transaction occurs after a recent string of FBK acquisitions (five purchases between 2024-10-28 and 2024-11-11) and at a price 10.2% below the 52-week high despite a recent 8.4% decline over 30 days. Ayers's cross-ticker track record demonstrates a 85.71% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of +4.2% across 20 prior buys, though his same-ticker history at FBK shows mixed near-term performance with most recent outcomes still unmeasurable beyond 30 days. The current purchase falls within his established accumulation pattern rather than a material directional statement, given the modest share addition relative to his already-dominant 10.91M holdings.
