Director Mario J Gabelli purchased 4,500 shares of GABELLI DIVIDEND & INCOME TRUST (GDV) at $29.09 on 2026-02-17, increasing his holdings by 22.0% from 20,500 to 25,000 shares.

While Gabelli's cross-ticker buy record shows a 50.00% 90-day win rate with average gains of +2.5%, the concentrated pattern of three consecutive purchases at GDV within a short window—combined with measurable gains following the November trade—suggests sustained accumulation at favorable valuations rather than reactive trading.

Director Anthony S. Colavita bought 684 GDV shares at $29.20; 3 other insiders bought within 14 days.

Anthony S. Colavita, a director, purchased 684 shares of GABELLI DIVIDEND & INCOME TRUST at $29.20 on 2026-02-09, establishing an initial position of 684 shares valued at $19,970.00.

Most notably, this transaction is part of a cluster pattern, with 3 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days. This coordinated buying activity across multiple insiders suggests consistent interest in the security at current levels, though the lack of prior holdings by Colavita means this represents a new entry rather than an increase to an established position.

Director Elizabeth C Bogan buys 400 shares of GDV at $28.73; 2 other insiders also bought within 14 days.

Elizabeth C Bogan, a director, purchased 400 shares of Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust at $28.73 on 2026-01-27, establishing an initial position in the security. The transaction occurred at the 52-week high of $28.73, with the stock currently trading at $28.65.

This coordinated acquisition timing, combined with recent positive momentum (30-day change: +2.8%, 90-day change: +6.1%), merits attention as a potential signal of insider perspective on valuation or strategic positioning in the dividend-focused fund.

Mario Gabelli (Director) purchases 5,818,500 shares at $10.00 for $58,185,000 in GDV.M on 2025-12-26

Director Mario Gabelli executed 4 separate purchases totaling 5,818,500 shares for $58,185,000 at $10.00 per share on 2025-12-26, moving his holdings from negative 468,500 shares to a positive 5,350,000 shares. This represents a substantial capital commitment and reversal from a short or net-short position to substantial long ownership. Gabelli's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 66.67% 90-day win rate and average 90-day returns of +3.7%, indicating a historically disciplined acquisition pattern across investments. The multi-transaction structure and uniform $10.00 price point warrant examination of whether this reflects a negotiated block purchase, private arrangement, or systematic accumulation strategy at the fund's NAV or a predetermined price level.

Director Gabelli buys 5,000 shares of GDV at $26.49; holdings rise to 15,000 shares (+50.0%)

Director Mario J Gabelli purchased 5,000 shares of GABELLI DIVIDEND & INCOME TRUST on 2025-11-18 at $26.49, increasing his position by 50.0% to 15,000 shares total. The current price of $26.18 is -4.6% from the 52-week high of $27.44, and the stock has declined 3.0% over 30 days. His prior trades at this ticker show a poor timing record: two January 2025 buys at GDV resulted in -9.4% and -9.3% 90-day returns, establishing a 0 of 2 well-timed trades. His broader open-market history of 20 prior cross-ticker buys shows only a 50.00% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of -1.3%, suggesting limited predictive value in timing.

Director Laughlin Susan Watson bought 300 shares of GDV at $24.96 on 2025-02-12, adding 15.7% to holdings.

Laughlin Susan Watson, a director at Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust, purchased 300 shares at $24.96, increasing her stake from 1,906 shares to 2,206 shares. The transaction price of $24.96 sits near the current price of $25.08 and well within the 52-week range of $21.48–$25.59. The 15.7% increase in her holdings represents a modest accumulation, consistent with routine portfolio adjustments for a closed-end fund focused on dividend income. Without additional context regarding transaction scheduling or director compensation guidelines, this purchase reflects a straightforward acquisition at fair value relative to recent price action.

Director Gabelli buys 200 GDV shares at $24.94; cluster pattern detected with 2 other insider buys in 14 days

Mario J. Gabelli, a director, purchased 200 shares of Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust (GDV) at $24.94 on 2024-10-16, a modest $4,987.18 addition to his 143.5K share position.

At the same ticker, Gabelli's recent buy history shows mixed immediate returns: his September 4 and August purchases posted 30-day gains of +2.4% and +8.7% respectively, though longer-term outcome measurement remains incomplete. The current price of $24.90 sits near the 52-week high of $24.95, and the stock is up 3.0% over 30 days and 6.6% over 90 days, indicating recent momentum. However, across his broader cross-ticker track record, Gabelli's 15 prior buys have returned an average 90-day result of -1.2% with a 0% win rate at 90 days, indicating historically challenged timing on longer-term horizons.
