Net buying

Historically, medium-priority insider buys have outperformed the S&P 500 by a median ~1% over the 30 days after filing — the edge is concentrated in that first month (n ≈ 7,520, 2022-2026). Past results don't predict the future. How we measure this ↗

Significance 4/10

CEO Balbirnie buys 1,750 shares at $6.70; stock now $6.77, down 48.3% from 52-week high of $13.10

Brian R Balbirnie (Director, CEO) purchased 1,750 shares for $11,725.00, increasing his holdings from 632.9K to 634.7K shares (+0.3%). The buy occurred at $6.70, just below the current price of $6.77, but reflects a significant decline: the stock trades 48.3% below its 52-week high of $13.10 and has declined 20.9% over 90 days despite a 4.5% 30-day gain. Balbirnie's cross-ticker track record shows 6 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -22.2% and a 0.00% win rate at the 90-day mark; at ACCS specifically, his prior buy on 2026-03-25 delivered +4.2% at 30 days but -12.2% at 90 days. The company itself faces headwinds: net income stands at -$611.0K against quarterly revenue of $5.3M, with annual revenue growth of -1.9% and a compressed P/E of 6.10 on a $26.3M market cap. The purchase is modest relative to holdings and does not reverse a pattern of net losses in the insider's prior accumulations.

Significance 3/10

CEO Brian R Balbirnie buys 10.0K shares of ACCS at $6.46; stock down 52.7% from 52-week high, unprofitable, cluster buy pattern observed

CEO Brian R Balbirnie purchased 10,000 shares at $6.46 on 2026-05-27, increasing his holdings to 632.9K shares. The stock has declined sharply—down 52.7% from its 52-week high of $13.35 and down 20.4% over the past 30 days—creating a technically depressed environment for a discretionary purchase. The company is unprofitable (net income $-611.0K on quarterly revenue of $5.3M) with negative annual revenue growth of -1.9%, and the 5.69 P/E ratio reflects distressed fundamentals. His cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% 90-day win rate across 5 prior buys, and his single prior ACCS purchase on 2026-03-25 also underperformed with a -16.2% 90-day return. A cluster pattern—2 other insiders buying within 14 days—appears in the data, but his own historical pattern does not support confidence in timing. The purchase occurs against continued deterioration in price and no demonstrated ability to time entries effectively.

@ $6.31
Significance 3/10

Director Graeme Rein buys 7,267 shares of ACCS at $6.31; stock now at $6.14, -54.0% from 52-week high.

Graeme P. Rein, a Director, purchased 7,267 shares at $6.31 on 2026-05-26, increasing his holdings to 87,000 shares (+9.1%). The stock currently trades at $6.14, having declined 54.0% from its 52-week high of $13.35 and dropped 17.5% over the past 30 days. His prior two purchases at ACCS (on 2026-05-18 and 2026-05-15) each resulted in 90-day losses of -8.8% and -10.4% respectively, with a zero win rate across those same-ticker trades. The company reports a net loss of $611,000 on quarterly revenue of $5,327,000 and annual revenue contraction of -1.9%, creating a context of operational stress. While the director has continued to accumulate shares despite recent price weakness, the persistent negative returns on his prior ACCS purchases and the company's deteriorating fundamentals suggest caution rather than conviction.

Significance 5/10

Director Rein Graeme P. buys 14,833 shares in 2 transactions for $100,917.75 at ACCESS Newswire (ACCS), raising stake 22.9%

Rein Graeme P., a director at ACCESS Newswire, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 14,833 shares for $100,917.75 between May 15–18, 2026, at prices ($6.87 and $6.75) above the current price of $6.45. His holdings increased 22.9% to 79,733 shares post-transaction. The stock is down 51.7% from its 52-week high of $13.35 and down 23.2% over 30 days, while the company is unprofitable (net income of $-611,000.00 in the latest quarter). Historically, across all tickers, this insider's 3 prior open-market buys have posted an average 90-day return of -27.9% with a 90-day win rate of 0.00%, providing no evidence of reliable buy-timing ability at ACCESS Newswire or elsewhere.

Significance 4/10

Director Pollard Wesley T buys 1,500 shares of ACCESS Newswire (ACCS) at $7.29, raising stake 26.2% to 7,222 shares

Pollard Wesley T, a director at ACCESS Newswire, purchased 1,500 shares at $7.29 on 2026-03-25, increasing his holdings by 26.2% from 5,722 to 7,222 shares. The transaction occurred 29.8% below the 52-week high of $12.54, though the stock is up 22.9% over the past 30 days. ACCESS Newswire reported a net loss of $45,000.00 in the latest quarter against $5,723,000.00 in revenue, with annual revenue declining 1.9% year-over-year. The modest transaction size and the company's modest market cap of $33,961,056.80 limit the material significance of the purchase alone, though it does represent a meaningful increase in the director's personal stake during a period when the stock trades below recent highs.

$25,606
@ $7.54
Significance 3/10

CEO Balbirnie buys 3,396 shares of ACCS at $7.54; holds 622,917 shares post-transaction.

BALBIRNIE BRIAN R, serving as both Director and CEO, purchased 3,396 shares at $7.54 on 2026-03-25, a modest addition representing +0.5% of his pre-transaction holdings of 619,521 shares. The transaction occurred when the stock was trading 31.7% below its 52-week high of $12.54, though it has risen 20.9% over the prior 30 days. However, the insider's cross-ticker track record shows 4 prior open-market buys with an average 90-day return of -32.2% and a 0.00% win rate, indicating a consistent pattern of entry timing that precedes near-term declines. Set against fundamentals showing a net loss of $45,000.00 in the latest quarter, negative annual revenue growth of -1.9%, and a P/E of 3.38, this modest insider purchase lacks strong conviction indicators and does not offset the unfavorable historical timing pattern.

Significance 5/10

Topline Capital bought 23,940 ISDR shares across 2 transactions at avg $9.67; stock now $10.73, up 17.1% in 30d

Topline Capital Management made 2 separate purchases totaling 23,940 shares for $231,473.54, raising holdings from 685.3K to 709.3K shares (+3.5%). The buys occurred at $9.65 (19,826 shares) and $9.76 (4,114 shares) on Aug 27-28, with current price at $10.73, representing a gain on the transactions. At the same-ticker level, Topline's prior 5 ISDR purchases show a mixed record: 2 recent buys (June) show 30-day gains of +10.9% and +11.4%, while 3 earlier buys (May) produced 30-day losses of -15.5%, -16.8%, and -9.6%. The cross-ticker track record (20 prior buys with 72.22% 90-day win rate and avg 90d return +28.8%) does not apply directly to timing accuracy at ISDR; only 1 of 5 measurable same-ticker buys achieved positive 90-day outcomes. The company shows revenue of $7.7M and net income of $7.0K (latest quarter) with strong annual growth at +42.0%, but elevated valuation at P/E 53.65 against a market cap of $41.1M.

Significance 6/10

Topline Capital (10% owner) purchases 23,940 shares at blended avg $9.67, accumulating to 709,264 shares (+3.5%)

Topline Capital Partners executed 2 separate open-market purchases totaling 23,940 shares for $231,473.54 on consecutive days (2024-08-27 to 2024-08-28) at prices ranging from $9.65 to $9.76. The blended average price of $9.67 sits 10% below the current price of $10.73 and 55% below the 52-week high of $21.50. At the same-ticker level, Topline's prior 5 trades at ISDR show mixed 90-day outcomes: only 1 of 3 measurable trades generated positive 90-day returns (+5.7%), while 2 of 3 declined (-0.1% and -3.4%), indicating inconsistent timing in this stock historically. The company's latest quarterly revenue of $7,687,000.00 and net income of only $7,000.00 reflect a compressed margin profile; the P/E of 53.65 reflects significant valuation premium relative to current earnings generation. The transaction occurred within the 30-day rally (+17.1%), but longer-term tracking (90-day +10.6%) and historical same-ticker patterns suggest this insider's buy timing at ISDR has not been reliably predictive.

Significance 4/10

Topline Capital Management buys 27,213 shares in ISDR; position up 4.1%; stock down 17.7% in 30 days, 39.3% in 90 days.

Topline Capital Management executed 2 separate purchases totaling 27,213 shares for $212,935.47, acquiring at a blended average price of $7.82 on 2024-06-26 and 2024-06-27. The current price stands at $7.84, approximately flat with the transaction prices. However, the broader price context is deteriorating: the stock is down 17.7% over 30 days and down 39.3% over 90 days, trading 65.5% below its 52-week high of $22.72. At the same ticker (ISDR), this insider's 5 prior buys have all shown negative 30-day returns (ranging from -5.2% to -16.8%), with no yet-measurable 90-day outcomes. While the insider's cross-ticker track record shows a 93.33% win rate on buys with average 90-day returns of +42.6%, that performance has not translated to ISDR, where recent pattern suggests challenged timing or unfavorable stock-specific fundamentals.

Significance 4/10

Topline Capital Partners (10% owner) bought 27,213 shares in 2 transactions for $212,935.47 at blended avg $7.82 on 2024-06-26/27.

Topline Capital Partners executed 2 separate purchases totaling 27,213 shares (27.2K shares) for $212,935.47 ($212.9K) at a blended average price of $7.82, increasing its stake by 4.1% to 685,324 shares. The timing context is noteworthy: the stock has declined -17.7% over the past 30 days and -39.3% over 90 days, trading at -65.5% below its 52-week high of $22.72. However, the insider's cross-ticker track record shows a 93.33% win rate with average 90-day returns of +42.6%, which contrasts sharply with its same-ticker history at ISDR: all 5 prior buys at this ticker over May 2024 have remained underwater at the 30-day mark (ranging from -5.2% to -15.5% losses), with no measurable 90-day outcomes yet available. This divergence between strong cross-ticker performance and persistent underperformance on this specific holding warrants close observation of whether market fundamentals have shifted or whether the timing pattern continues.
