GO Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. Insider Trading

Director Ragatz accumulates 125.0K GO shares at $7.06 on 2026-03-27; stock now -63.7% from 52-week high.

Erik D. Ragatz (Director) purchased 125,000 shares at $7.06 on 2026-03-27, increasing his stake by +23.7% to 651.5K shares. The purchase occurs amid significant price weakness: the stock is -63.7% from its 52-week high of $18.66 and down 31.4% over the prior 30 days. This transaction follows four additional purchases at GO within the preceding 8 days (2026-03-16 through 2026-03-19), signaling consecutive accumulation during a sharp decline. Across Ragatz's cross-ticker open-market history, his 13 prior buys averaged +2.1% and +2.2% returns at 30 and 90 days respectively, with a 50% win rate; however, his same-ticker prior trades at GO remain too recent to measure outcomes. The company generated $1.2B in quarterly revenue with +7.3% annual growth, though full-year net income was negative, creating a context where valuation compression has been severe but fundamentals show modest stability.

Potter (CEO) bought 112,808 shares for $717,174.28 over 2 days; stock down 65.0% from 52-week high.

President and CEO Jason J. N. Potter executed two separate purchases totaling 112,808 shares (112.8K shares) for $717,174.28 ($717.2K) at a blended average price of $6.36 on 2026-03-23 and 2026-03-24, increasing his holdings from 574,366 shares to 687,174 shares (+19.6% vs pre-transaction holdings). The timing occurs in a severely depressed price environment: the current stock price of $6.54 sits -65.0% from its 52-week high of $18.66 and has declined -34.5% over the past 30 days and -36.3% over 90 days. Underlying fundamentals show the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year (full-year net income was negative) despite generating $1.2B in quarterly revenue and posting +7.3% annual revenue growth, though the latest quarter shows modest profitability at $11.6M net income. This open-market acquisition by the CEO in a period of significant stock weakness and negative profitability warrants attention as a data point for monitoring management's conviction, though no prior trades at this ticker provide comparative context for timing assessment.

Grocery Outlet CEO Jason Potter buys 286,097 shares at $5.90 amid 69.0% decline from 52-week high; 5 other insiders bought in past 14 days.

Potter, as President and CEO, purchased 286,097 shares at $5.90 on 2026-03-19, doubling his shareholding from 288,269 to 574,366 shares (+99.2% vs pre-transaction holdings). This transaction occurs within a coordinated cluster: 5 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting synchronized insider accumulation at depressed price levels. The stock trades at $5.79 currently, down 69.0% from its 52-week high of $18.66 and down 43.9% over the past 30 days, indicating severe recent underperformance. The company generated $1.2B in quarterly revenue with positive 7.3% annual revenue growth, yet remained unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, creating a disconnect between operational growth and profitability that may be driving the valuation compression and prompting executive-level equity accumulation at these levels.

Ragatz (Director, GO) buys 83,997 shares in 2 transactions for $486,382.45 amid -41.9% 30-day decline; cluster pattern detected.

This purchase occurs while the stock trades at -68.8% from its 52-week high and has fallen -41.9% over the past 30 days. Notably, 5 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, forming a cluster pattern. At the same ticker, Ragatz's prior two measurable buys (2025-05-09 and 2025-02-28) both showed positive 90-day returns, though the company reported full-year net income was negative in its most recent fiscal year and the stock remains under material downward pressure.

Director Ragatz buys 116,003 shares ($702.6K) at GO amid 68.6% decline from 52-week high; 4 other insiders bought within 14 days.

Ragatz Erik D., a director at Grocery Outlet Holding Corp., executed 2 purchases totaling 116,003 shares for $702,617.55 on March 16-17, 2026, increasing his holdings by 35.5% to 442,503 shares. The stock trades at $5.85, down 68.6% from its 52-week high of $18.66, and has declined 43.1% over the past 30 days. The company reported $1.2B in latest-quarter revenue with positive growth at 7.3% year-over-year, but was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. Notably, 4 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, forming a cluster buy pattern at depressed valuations. Ragatz's same-ticker history at GO shows mixed timing outcomes: 2 of 4 prior measured buys achieved positive 90-day returns, though his cross-ticker track record averaged only +2.2% over 90 days with a 50% win rate.

Director Erik D. Ragatz buys 125,000 shares of GO at $6.00, raising stake 62.0%; stock down 67.4% from 52-week high amid coordinated buying cluster.

Erik D. Ragatz, a Director, purchased 125,000 shares of Grocery Outlet at $6.00 on 2026-03-11, increasing his holdings from 201,500 to 326,500 shares—a 62.0% increase. The transaction occurred while GO's stock trades 67.4% below its 52-week high of $18.66 and has declined 38.8% over the past 30 days. Ragatz's prior five purchases at GO show mixed outcomes: his 2025-05-09 buy generated a -5.3% 30-day return but +27.5% over 90 days, while other recent purchases produced inconsistent results (only 2 of 5 prior buys achieved positive 90-day returns). Notably, 4 other insiders bought GO within the past 14 days, forming a cluster buy pattern, which may reflect coordinated or coincidental response to the severe near-term decline. The company generated $1.2B in quarterly revenue with $11.6M in net income but posted negative full-year net income, introducing operational profitability concerns that investors should evaluate against the current valuation.

Director Jaros Carey F. buys 40,000 shares (40.0K) of GO at $6.26; holdings +110.9%; stock -66.8% from 52-week high; cluster of 4 other insiders also bought within 14 days.

Jaros Carey F., a Director, purchased 40,000 shares at $6.26, bringing his post-transaction holdings to 76,066 shares from 36,066 shares — a 110.9% increase. The current price of $6.20 sits 66.8% below the 52-week high of $18.66, and the stock has declined 39.4% over the past 30 days and 44.4% over the past 90 days. Notably, 4 other insiders also purchased shares within the past 14 days, forming a cluster buy pattern. The insider's prior purchase at Grocery Outlet in March 2025 returned +19.5% over 90 days, demonstrating historical timing success at this ticker, though the company faces profitability headwinds (negative full-year net income and modest quarterly earnings of $11.6M on $1.2B revenue).

Director Lindberg buys 275.0K shares of GO at $5.98; holdings rise to 443.7K (+163.0%); stock down -44.4% over 90 days amid cluster buying.

Director Eric J. Lindberg Jr. purchased 275,000 shares at $5.98 on 2026-03-09, more than doubling his position to 443,705 shares post-transaction, in a context where the stock has fallen -44.4% over 90 days and -66.8% from its 52-week high of $18.66. This buy occurs as part of a cluster pattern with 4 other insiders purchasing within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or reactive acquisition activity at depressed levels. However, the company's fundamentals present mixed signals: while annual revenue growth stands at +7.3%, the firm was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, and Lindberg's own cross-ticker trading history shows moderate timing accuracy (62.50% well-timed rate on 16 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -6.3%). At this ticker, his prior 5 trades were predominantly sells in August-September 2024, three of which proved well-timed at the 90-day horizon. The purchase at $5.98 against a current price of $6.20 reflects minimal immediate appreciation, warranting close monitoring of whether this cluster activity stabilizes the equity or signals capitulation into a deteriorating business.

Director York Jeffrey bought 120,000 shares ($698.2K) at $5.72–$5.82 on 2026-03-09; stock down 39.4% in 30 days. Cluster pattern: 4 other insiders also bought in past 14 days.

York Jeffrey (Director) executed 2 separate purchases totaling 120,000 shares for $698,200.00 at a blended average price of $5.82, acquiring his initial position in Grocery Outlet. This transaction coincides with a sharp 39.4% decline in the 30-day period and occurs as part of a broader cluster pattern—4 other insiders also purchased shares within the past 14 days. The company reported $1.2B in latest quarterly revenue with 7.3% annual growth, but was unprofitable over the most recent full fiscal year, suggesting a disconnect between operational scale and near-term earnings. The convergence of multiple insider accumulations during a steep drawdown, against a backdrop of negative full-year net income, warrants close examination of whether insiders are deploying capital based on forward visibility or simply acquiring depressed valuations absent fundamental recovery signals.

Director John E. Bachman buys 16,000 shares at $6.46 blended price (down 67.4% from 52-week high); cluster pattern with 2 other insiders buying within 14 days

Director John E. Bachman executed 2 separate purchases totaling 16,000 shares for $103,314.42, increasing his holdings by 27.9% to 73,367 shares. The transaction occurred at a blended average price of $6.46, while the stock trades 67.4% below its 52-week high of $18.66 and has declined 39.6% over the past 30 days and 46.6% over 90 days. Of his 3 prior GO purchases, only 1 proved well-timed at the 90-day mark, and his most recent 2025-03-04 buy at GO showed a positive 90-day return of 19.9%, suggesting occasional accuracy at this ticker. The filing reflects a cluster pattern with 2 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days, indicating coordinated confidence at depressed valuations. The company generated $1.2B in quarterly revenue and reported net income of $11.6M, though it remains unprofitable on a full-year basis, creating fundamental uncertainty.
