Historically, medium-priority insider buys have outperformed the S&P 500 by a median ~1% over the 30 days after filing — the edge is concentrated in that first month (n ≈ 7,520, 2022-2026). Past results don't predict the future. How we measure this ↗
Gabelli buys 50,000 shares (50.0K shares) of GCV at $4.29; holdings increase 11.5% to 486,501 shares
GABELLI MARIO J purchased 50,000 shares at $4.29 on 2025-11-10, growing his stake by 11.5% to 486,501 shares. The transaction occurred 6.6% below the 52-week high of $4.37, and the current price of $4.08 is 5.6% lower over the past 30 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -1.3% and a 50.00% win rate, indicating his purchases have historically been slightly underwater over the medium term across his portfolio. This particular buy occurs within a modest recovery context (90-day change +2.3%) but without strong directional momentum to support elevated conviction at this price point.
