Significance 6

Director Gregory B Graves purchases 900 shares for $39,700.00 at blended $44.11, raising stake to 6,882 shares at JANL.

Director Gregory B Graves executed 2 separate purchases totaling 900 shares for $39,700.00 on 2026-05-28, at prices ranging from $43.00 to $45.00, which brackets the current price of $43.51. The purchase increased his holding by 15.0% from 5,982 shares to 6,882 shares, representing a material addition to his existing stake. JANL trades at a P/E of 10.99 with positive annual revenue growth of +13.2% and a market cap of $51.6M, suggesting the company is profitable and growing. The open-market nature of these purchases and the director's willingness to deploy capital at the prevailing price point merit attention from shareholders monitoring insider positioning, though the company's recent listing status (26 trading days) limits the interpretive context available.

Significance 4

Director Graves buys 507 shares across 2 transactions for $16,524.00, averaging $32.59, during 20% monthly decline

Gregory B Graves (Director) made 2 separate purchases totaling 507 shares for $16,524.00 on March 10–11, 2025, at prices of $33.00 and $32.00, increasing his stake from 5,000 to 5,507 shares (+10.1%). The purchases occurred while the stock traded at the current price of $32.00, down -20.0% over the prior 30 days and -28.9% from its 52-week high of $45.00. Graves' cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 0.00% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of -8.3%; at JANL specifically, his prior 5 buys (all within the past 20 days) remain unmeasurable. The company's fundamentals show modest stress: revenue of $51,354,000.00, net income of only $659,000.00, and annual revenue contraction of -1.8%, paired with an elevated P/E of 40.51. The transaction is routine in dollar volume but merits attention given the recent price deterioration and his documented poor timing outcomes historically.

Significance 4

Director Gregory B Graves bought 329 shares over 2 days ($11,797.25 total) at blended average $35.86 amid stock decline.

Gregory B Graves, a director of JANEL CORP, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 329 shares for $11,797.25 on 2025-02-20 and 2025-02-21, bringing his holdings to 5,000 shares. The purchases occurred at $35.25 and $36.25 per share, with a blended average price of $35.86, while the stock currently trades at $36.25 after a -9.4% decline over 30 days and -10.5% over 90 days from a 52-week high of $45.00. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -0.8% and a 25.00% win rate, while at JANEL specifically, his 5 prior trades include recent purchases on 2025-02-18 and 2025-02-19 (outcomes not yet measurable) and two December 2024 purchases that posted +13.3% and +12.5% 30-day returns. The company's fundamentals show a high P/E of 45.89, with annual revenue decline of -1.8% and modest profitability ($659.0K net income on $51.4M revenue), warranting attention to whether recent accumulation reflects contrarian conviction or represents part of a broader pattern among insiders at the company.

@ $36.00
Significance 4

Director Gregory B. Graves purchased 450 shares at $36.00 avg (3 transactions, $16.2K) as stock trades -21.7% from 52-week high.

Gregory B. Graves, a Director, executed 3 separate purchases totaling 450 shares for $16,200.00 between Feb 18–19, 2025, increasing his holdings by 10.7% from 4,221 to 4,671 shares. The purchases occurred as JANL traded at a 52-week low relative to its range, down -21.7% from the 52-week high and -11.9% over 30 days. His same-ticker purchase history at JANL shows 5 prior buys since December 2024, with measurable 30-day returns of +12.5% to +13.3%, though no 90-day outcomes are yet measurable to assess timing pattern. The company's fundamentals show a declining annual revenue growth rate of -1.8% with a P/E of 44.62, reflecting elevated valuation despite recent price weakness. The filing presents an open-market accumulation by a director during a period of price decline, though the timing signal is limited by the stock's elevated valuation multiple and the overall short-term negative momentum.

Significance 4

Director Graves buys 1,139 shares across 10 transactions totaling $40,371.35 at avg $35.44, raising stake 37.0% to 4,221 shares

Gregory B. Graves executed 10 separate purchases totaling 1,139 shares for $40,371.35 between December 11–12, 2024, at prices ranging from $35.15 to $35.55, representing a 37.0% increase in his holdings to 4,221 shares. The current stock price of $35.55 is 21.0% below the 52-week high and down 12.2% over the prior 30 days, placing this accumulation in a declining market context. His prior transactions at JANL show mixed outcomes—a September 2024 buy has posted a −1.2% 90-day return—and his cross-ticker track record reflects modest 90-day returns with only 36.36% of prior buys generating positive 90-day gains. The company carries weak fundamentals: net income of −$191.0K against $46.7M in quarterly revenue, a P/E of 59.25, and annual revenue contraction of −1.8%, suggesting the purchase occurs amid fundamental headwinds rather than growth momentum.

@ $40.50
Significance 4

Director Gregory B Graves bought 100 shares of JANL at $40.50; repeated buying pattern at weak fundamentals (net loss, -41.2% annual revenue decline).

Director Gregory B Graves purchased 100 shares at $40.50 on 2024-09-19, bringing his holdings to 3,082 shares (net change: +3.4%). This transaction is the sixth open-market purchase at JANL within 16 days, with four prior buys clustered on 2024-09-04 and another on 2024-09-05. The stock is trading -10.0% from its 52-week high of $45.00. Most notably, the company's fundamentals are deteriorating: latest-quarter revenue is $46.7M but net income is negative at $-191.0K, and annual revenue declined -41.2% year-over-year. The repeated purchasing despite negative earnings and steep revenue contraction, combined with the stock's proximity to its 52-week high, merits attention to whether these buys reflect material non-public information or are driven by other factors including scheduled trading arrangements.

Significance 4

Director Gregory B Graves bought 500 shares of JANL in 4 transactions totaling $20,200.00 at blended average $40.40

Gregory B Graves, a Director at JANEL CORP, completed 4 separate purchases totaling 500 shares for $20,200.00 between September 4–5, 2024, lifting his holdings from 2,482 to 2,982 shares (+20.1%). The blended average purchase price of $40.40 sits below the current price of $41.00 and near the 52-week midpoint, though the stock is currently -8.9% from its 52-week high of $45.00. However, his prior trades at JANL show a concerning pattern: across 5 measurable prior buys at this ticker, 0 of 4 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with average 90-day returns of -4.8% to -5.9%. The company's fundamentals are weak, posting net income of $-191.0K against quarterly revenue of $46.7M, with annual revenue declining -41.2% year-over-year. The unfavorable historical outcome pattern at this ticker and deteriorating operational metrics warrant scrutiny of whether this accumulation signals conviction or reflects limited alternative positioning.

Significance 4

Director Gregory B Graves buys 182 shares of JANL at $39.00; stock now $42.00, up 9.1% in 90 days amid -41.2% annual revenue decline.

Gregory B Graves, a Director, purchased 182 shares at $39.00 on 2024-08-19, a 7.9% increase to his 2,482-share holding, as JANEL CORP trades near $42.00 following a 9.1% 90-day advance. However, the buy occurs amid significant headwinds: annual revenue declined 41.2% year-over-year and the company posted a net loss of $191.0K in the latest quarter. The insider's prior five trades at JANL, all buys clustered in May–June 2024, showed 30-day gains of 2.9%–8.0%, yet none have measurable 90-day outcomes to evaluate timing quality. His cross-ticker buy track record (9 trades) shows modest average 30-day returns of 4.6% but a 50% 90-day win rate with a -0.4% average 90-day return, revealing inconsistent outcomes.

Director van Kesteren buys 13,000 shares (13.0K shares) at $35.00 for $455,000 amid -41.2% annual revenue decline and losses.

van Kesteren Gerard purchased 13,000 shares (13.0K shares) at $35.00 for $455,000.00 ($455.0K) on 2024-08-05, increasing his holdings by 65.0% from 20,000 shares (20.0K shares) to 33,000 shares (33.0K shares). This transaction occurs in a financially challenged environment: JANEL CORP reported annual revenue decline of -41.2% and net income of $-191,000.00 ($-191.0K), with the stock currently trading at $37.00, down 15.4% over the past 30 days. While van Kesteren has executed 5 prior buys at JANL, only 2 of these 5 prior purchases exhibited positive 90-day returns (40% success rate), and his broader cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day win rate of 40.00% with average 90-day returns of -2.8%. The buy at $35.00 remains above the 52-week low of $23.00 but well below the 52-week high of $45.00.
