HLMN Hillman Solutions Corp. Insider Trading

CFO Kraft buys 140,000 HLMN shares at $7.09; holdings up 28.4% to 632,752 shares; stock -36.0% from 52-week high.

Robert O. Kraft, CFO and Treasurer, purchased 140,000 shares of Hillman Solutions at $7.09 on 2025-05-01, increasing his holdings by 28.4% to 632,752 shares for a total commitment of $992,600.00. The current price of $7.38 shows the stock trading 30-day change -7.9% and 90-day change -25.5%, well below its 52-week high of $11.54. Hillman's fundamentals are mixed: revenue of $359.3M declined -0.3% year-over-year, net income turned negative at $-317.0K, and the P/E ratio of 82.00 reflects elevated valuation on depressed earnings. Across Kraft's cross-ticker open-market transaction history, his 3 prior sells show an average 90-day return of -8.5%, with a well-timed rate of 66.67%, indicating his prior sales have generally preceded stock declines. The magnitude of this equity increase and Kraft's historical timing pattern warrant investor attention to whether this signals internal confidence in a turnaround or reflects alternative considerations unknown to the market.

Ride Scott sells 72,523 shares of HLMN at $10.66; halves holdings to 70,369 shares amid weak fundamentals.

Ride Scott, President of Hillman Canada, sold 72,523 shares (72.5K shares) on 2024-11-18 at $10.66, reducing his position by -50.8% to 70,369 shares (70.4K shares). The transaction value was $773,457.80 ($773.5K). Across Scott's prior open-market trades, the 90-day well-timed rate stands at 100.00%, and his prior sale at this ticker on 2024-02-26 posted a -0.5% 90-day return, indicating the stock declined after that earlier sale. Hillman's fundamentals present headwinds: the company reported an annual revenue decline of -0.7%, carried negative full-year net income despite $393,296,000.00 ($393.3M) latest-quarter revenue, and trades at an elevated P/E of 270.50. The current stock price of $10.82 sits -4.2% from its 52-week high, trading near the transaction price. This sale follows a pattern established in Scott's prior sell, though the elimination of half his holdings suggests a material reduction in executive exposure to the company.
