GPMT Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. Insider Trading

Director Nikolic Lazar buys 16,236 shares of GPMT across 3 transactions for $314,181.04 (blended $19.35/share)

Nikolic Lazar, a Director at Granite Point Mortgage Trust, executed 3 separate purchases totaling 16,236 shares for $314,181.04 between 2025-11-10 and 2025-11-11 at an average price of $19.35. The current stock price of $2.77 is 22.6% below the 52-week high, and the prior 5 purchases at GPMT show a mixed record: 3 of 5 achieved positive 90-day returns, suggesting inconsistent timing acumen at this ticker. Against a weak cross-ticker record (90d win rate 37.50%, avg 90d return -46.7%), this multi-day accumulation of over 16,000 shares marks a material increase in the director's stake. The company's unprofitable fiscal year status alongside the significant gap between transaction prices ($19.35) and current price ($2.77) creates a notable divergence that warrants monitoring of fundamental developments and the director's future actions.

Director Patrick Gregory buys 17,000 GPMT shares at $2.83; stake rises 22.0% to 94.4K shares as stock trades -22.9% from 52-week high

Director Halter Patrick Gregory purchased 17,000 shares of Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. at $2.83 on 2025-08-15, increasing his holdings from 77.4K to 94.4K shares (a 22.0% increase in position size). The purchase occurred as the stock trades at $2.76, down 22.9% from its 52-week high of $3.58, but up 12.6% over the past 30 days and 18.4% over 90 days. His same-ticker history shows mixed timing outcomes: a prior May 2025 buy delivered a 20.6% 90-day return (well-timed), while a February 2025 buy resulted in a -15.0% 90-day return (poorly-timed), indicating inconsistent pattern recognition at this specific ticker. The company reported a net loss of $13.4M in its most recent full fiscal year and carries a market cap of $130.8M, underscoring that this insider is accumulating shares in an unprofitable mortgage trust trading near its annual lows.

Director Nikolic Lazar bought 3,000 shares at $19.61 (now $2.76, -85.9%); stock down from $3.58 high; company posted $-13.4M net income.

Director Nikolic Lazar purchased 3,000 shares on 2025-08-13 at $19.61, tripling his position from 1,193 to 4,193 shares, while the stock currently trades at $2.76—a decline of 85.9% from the transaction price. The company is unprofitable with $-13,363,000 in full-year net income, and the stock is already down 22.9% from its 52-week high of $3.58. Across his prior 5 trades at GPMT, none achieved positive 90-day returns; the most recent measurable outcome (March 2025 buy) fell -85.8% over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 7 prior buys averaging -47.7% over 30 days and -86.0% over 90 days with a 0.00% win rate. This purchase at a historically elevated price point—substantially above current market levels—in a loss-making company mirrors a consistent pattern of poorly-timed acquisitions.

GPMT: CEO Taylor buys 42,000 shares at $2.28; stock up 50% in 30d, cluster buy pattern observed

TAYLOR JOHN A, President and CEO of Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc., purchased 42,000 shares at $2.28 on 2025-05-22, bringing his holdings to 471,442 shares (a 9.8% increase). The timing follows the stock's 50.0% surge over the past 30 days and comes as 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, forming a cluster acquisition pattern. Notably, the company reported net income of $-7,015,000.00 for its most recent full fiscal year, indicating ongoing unprofitability. The CEO's prior trade history at this ticker shows 3 consecutive buy occasions (2023-11-14 through 2023-11-16) that all posted positive 90-day returns, with a 100% win rate across his cross-ticker track record, but the current purchase occurs after the stock has already recovered 50% and sits 31.3% below its 52-week high, raising questions about entry timing relative to the recent momentum surge.

Director Nikolic Lazar buys 55,953 shares at $2.47 average, post-transaction holding 1,193 shares despite unprofitable GPMT fundamentals

Nikolic Lazar, a Director at Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc., executed 4 separate purchases totaling 55,953 shares for $138,301.67 ($138.3K) over three trading days (May 20–22, 2025) at a blended average price of $2.47. This transaction moves his post-transaction holding to 1,193 shares despite a pre-transaction position of -54,760 shares, indicating substantial portfolio activity. However, material context constrains the significance of this move: the company reported negative net income of -$7,015,000.00 (-$7.0M) over its most recent full fiscal year, and his own prior trades at GPMT show consistent underperformance, with 30-day returns of -86.5%, -85.3%, and -85.3% on three prior buys at this ticker. Additionally, 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated activity during a period when the stock has declined 33.8% from its 52-week high of $3.58. The combination of negative fundamentals, poor prior timing outcomes at this specific ticker, and the recent cluster pattern limits the reliability of this purchase as a confidence signal.

Director Patrick Gregory Halter bought 29.0K shares of GPMT at $2.38; holdings +85.3%, stock -31.0% from 52-week high.

Patrick Gregory Halter, a director of Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc., purchased 29,000 shares at $2.38 on 2025-05-15, increasing his holdings by 85.3% to 63,001 shares total. The stock has recovered 42.0% over the past 30 days but remains 31.0% below its 52-week high of $3.58, suggesting the purchase occurred in a comparatively depressed price window. The company reported a net loss of $-7.0M over its most recent full fiscal year, making this an acquisition of stakes in an unprofitable mortgage REIT. His prior open-market buy at this same ticker on 2025-02-25 showed a 30-day return of -3.6%, and his broader cross-ticker track record shows only 1 prior buy with an average 30-day return of -3.6%, indicating no material track record of well-timed open-market entries across his history. The absence of a 90-day outcome from the February trade and no well-timed buy patterns in his history provide limited forward-looking visibility on whether this accumulation will prove timely.

Director Nikolic Lazar bought 500 GPMT shares at $17.76 (2025-03-04); now down 42.8% from 52-week high; company unprofitable.

Director Nikolic Lazar purchased 500 shares at $17.76 on 2025-03-04, substantially increasing his holdings from 269 to 769 shares (+185.9% vs pre-transaction holdings). This represents his third open-market buy at GPMT within a week—he also acquired shares on 2025-02-26 and 2025-02-27—suggesting sustained accumulation during a period of price weakness. The stock currently trades at $2.82, down 42.8% from its 52-week high of $4.93, and the company is unprofitable with net income of $-31.0M against a market cap of $137.8M. The timing of these consecutive purchases during a decline, coupled with the company's negative earnings and reduced valuation, warrants close attention to whether the director perceives fundamental value or faces disclosed financial exposure to the collapsing asset.

Director Nikolic Lazar purchased 1,395 shares at $17.71 avg; stock now $2.96, down -40.0% from 52-week high.

Director Nikolic Lazar executed two separate purchases totaling 1,395 shares for $24,708.14 on 2025-02-26 and 2025-02-27 at blended average price $17.71. The company is unprofitable with net income of $-31,024,000.00 and a market cap of $144,598,027.60. Since the purchase, the stock has declined sharply: current price is $2.96, representing a -40.0% decline from the 52-week high and a substantial loss on the director's recent purchase. This transaction signals a director commitment to the company at prices substantially above current levels, though the magnitude of subsequent stock decline raises questions about market confidence or fundamental deterioration post-purchase.

Director Patrick Gregory Halter purchases 34,001 shares of GPMT at $2.80 amid -42.0% decline from 52-week high

Director Halter Patrick Gregory initiated a position in Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. with a purchase of 34,001 shares at $2.80 on 2025-02-25, representing his first acquisition of the stock. The purchase occurs at a price 42.0% below the 52-week high of $4.93, and the company is currently unprofitable with a net loss of $-31,024,000.00 against a market cap of $142,878,613.02. This buy-in by a new director holder warrants investor attention given the company's negative earnings backdrop and the stock's material decline, though the modest absolute position size and the fact that the director previously held zero shares suggest this is an initial stake rather than a signal of heightened conviction.
