GOVB Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc./MD/ Insider Trading

Director Pelkey Duane Milton purchases 750 shares of Gouverneur Bancorp at current market price in open-market buy.

Director Pelkey Duane Milton bought shares at a price level that represents the stock's recent 52-week high, which is atypical for insider buying—most directors accumulate during weakness or pullbacks, not at peaks. The company remains profitable with steady quarterly earnings, suggesting underlying financial stability that might justify confidence in the stock's price floor. However, the timing coincides with the stock having appreciated substantially over the past three months, which could indicate either genuine conviction or simply opportunistic execution tied to personal liquidity needs or vesting schedules rather than directional market views. Without a pattern of concurrent buying by other insiders or a material catalyst announced alongside this trade, the single purchase warrants watching but should not be overinterpreted as definitive evidence of executive conviction.

Director Pelkey adds 1,000 shares of GOVB at $17.35, bringing holdings to 6,000; prior 5 GOVB buys showed 100% 90-day win rate

Director Duane Milton Pelkey purchased 1,000 shares at $17.35, increasing his stake by 20.0% to 6,000 shares post-transaction. This marks his sixth open-market buy at Gouverneur Bancorp, following five prior purchases at the same ticker completed on 2025-11-04 and 2025-08-27. Notably, across his five prior trades at GOVB, the insider demonstrated consistent timing execution: all five prior buys generated positive 90-day returns ranging from 4.9% to 19.2%, achieving a 100% 90-day win rate at this specific ticker. His cross-ticker track record also supports consistent execution, with 5 prior buys showing an average 90-day return of +12.8% and a 100% win rate. The current price of $17.35 sits -2.0% from the 52-week high and +19.7% from the 90-day reference point, suggesting the timing of this purchase falls within the insider's established pattern of well-timed accumulation at this company.

Director Pelkey Duane Milton bought 1,000 shares (1.0K shares) at blended average $14.95, raising stake to 5,000 shares (5.0K shares).

Director Pelkey Duane Milton made 3 separate purchases totaling 1,000 shares for $14,952.92 on 2025-11-04, executed at prices ranging from $14.55 to $15.00. This increases his holdings by 25.0% from 4,000 shares to 5,000 shares post-transaction. The blended average purchase price of $14.95 sits near the current price of $15.04 and within the 52-week range of $11.25–$15.25, slightly below the 52-week high. His prior purchases at this ticker (both on 2025-08-27) showed mixed near-term outcomes of -1.6% and +1.7% at the 30-day mark, with no 90-day outcomes yet measurable. The company trades at a P/E of 25.07 on net income of $217,000.00 with a market cap of $15,868,358.08. The filing itself reveals discretionary open-market acquisitions without scheduled plan indicators, though the timing and magnitude merit observation given the director's mixed historical execution record at this ticker.

CFO James Donald Campanaro doubles GOVB holdings with $2,980 buy at $14.90 on 2025-09-12, following purchase nine days prior.

Campanaro purchased 200 shares at $14.90, doubling his position from 200 to 400 shares post-transaction. This represents his second open-market purchase in nine days at this ticker—he bought 30 shares on 2025-09-03. The stock currently trades near its 52-week high ($15.25), with the purchase price at -2.3% from that peak and recent upward momentum (+11.4% over 90 days). While the consecutive purchasing pattern suggests some level of commitment to the position, the limited historical data (one prior cross-ticker buy, one prior GOVB trade with outcomes not yet measurable) and the small absolute transaction size ($2,980.00) provide limited basis to assess conviction or predictive signal.

CFO James Donald Campanaro purchases inaugural 200 shares of GOVB at $15.06, establishing first position in employer stock.

This transaction marks Campanaro's first purchase of Gouverneur Bancorp stock, moving from zero shares to a 200-share position at $15.06 on 2025-09-03. The purchase size of $3,012.00 is modest in absolute terms, and the transaction price of $15.06 sits only 0.4% above the current market price of $15.00, representing entry near recent market levels rather than a marked discount. While any executive acquisition of employer equity deserves attention, the relatively small dollar amount and the absence of any prior holdings history limit the immediate significance—this reads as an initial position-building rather than a substantial conviction signal.

Director Duane Milton Pelkey purchases 900 shares across 2 transactions (total $13,675) at GOVB, raising holdings 29.0% to 4,000 shares

Director Duane Milton Pelkey executed 2 separate purchases totaling 900 shares for $13,675.00 on 2025-08-27, with a blended average price of $15.19. His post-transaction holdings of 4,000 shares represent a +29.0% increase from his prior 3,100 shares, marking a material accumulation at current levels near the 52-week high of $15.25. The company trades at a P/E of 25.42 with a market cap of $16,089,924.25, and the stock has advanced +12.1% over the prior 30 days and +18.7% over 90 days, suggesting the purchase occurred in an already-appreciating context. The magnitude of this director's share accumulation and its timing near annual highs warrant investor scrutiny of the underlying fundamentals and forward-looking company position.
