Layden Christopher D. Buy
President, and CEO
10,100 shares
$88,912
@ $8.80
Significance 6/10

CEO Layden bought 10.1K shares at blended $8.80 as stock down 41% from 52-week high.

Christopher D. Layden, President and CEO of Kelly Services, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 10,100 shares for $88,912.50 on 2026-03-24, with a blended average price of $8.80. The current stock price of $8.64 is 41.0% below the 52-week high of $14.64 and down 12.3% over the past 30 days, suggesting the CEO transacted into a materially weakened equity. This context is material: Kelly Services reported net income of -$150.1M against revenue of $935.0M in its latest quarter and was unprofitable over the full fiscal year, with annual revenue declining 1.9% year-over-year. The magnitude of the CEO's personal purchase—a 10.1K share commitment—warrants monitoring given the company's sustained losses and the significant distance between transaction price and recent highs, though the post-transaction holding of 100 shares is modest in absolute terms.

Brock-Kyle Angela Buy
100 shares

@ $14.77
Significance 3/10

Director Brock-Kyle Angela buys 100 KELYA shares at $14.77; stock now -41.7% from 52-week high at $8.53.

Brock-Kyle Angela, a director, purchased 100 shares of Kelly Services at $14.77 on 2026-03-04, establishing a new position with no prior holdings. The purchase occurred when the stock was trading near its 52-week high and has since declined significantly, now trading 41.7% below that peak at $8.53, and down 13.9% over the past 30 days. The company is financially stressed: it posted a net loss of $150.1M against revenue of $935.0M in the latest quarter and was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, with annual revenue declining 1.9%. Across the director's cross-ticker track record, prior open-market buys have generated modest average returns (30-day: +0.5%, 90-day: +0.2%) with a 50% win rate, providing limited evidence of predictive timing accuracy.

Hunt James Christopher Buy
4,000 shares
$37,200
@ $9.30
Significance 4/10

Director Hunt James Christopher bought 4,000 shares of KELYA at $9.30 on 2026-02-25, bringing holdings to 30.0K shares.

Hunt James Christopher purchased 4,000 shares at $9.30 on 2026-02-25, a modest accumulation representing a +15.4% increase in his position to 30.0K shares. The transaction occurred at a price -34.2% below the 52-week high of $14.64, against a backdrop where the company is unprofitable with full-year net income of $-150.1M and annual revenue decline of -1.9%. Notably, this buy follows a rapid sequence of three consecutive purchases at the same ticker on 2026-02-23, 2026-02-20, and 2026-02-18—all too recent to have measurable 90-day outcomes—suggesting sustained interest in accumulating shares during a period of equity weakness. The absence of measurable timing outcomes from his same-ticker history and the company's negative earnings trajectory present competing signals that warrant monitoring.

Hunt James Christopher Buy
10,000 shares

@ $9.43
Significance 4/10

Director Hunt James Christopher bought 10,000 shares of KELYA at $9.43 on 2026-02-23, expanding stake to 26.0K shares (+62.6%)

Director Hunt James Christopher acquired 10,000 shares at $9.43, increasing his holdings by 62.6% to 26.0K shares. The purchase occurs in a company reporting significant operational distress: net income of $-150.1M on $935.0M in quarterly revenue, with annual revenue declining 1.9% and the company unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. The stock is currently trading at $9.34, down 36.2% from its 52-week high of $14.64, and has fallen 7.6% in the past 30 days despite an 8.5% gain over 90 days. Notably, this buy follows two other purchases by the same director at this ticker on 2026-02-25 and 2026-02-20, suggesting sustained accumulation activity during a period of operational weakness and depressed valuation.

Hunt James Christopher Buy
10,000 shares
$95,733
@ $9.57
Significance 4/10

Director Hunt James Christopher bought 10,000 shares of KELYA at $9.57 on 2026-02-20, expanding stake 167.3% amid unprofitable operations.

Hunt James Christopher purchased 10,000 shares at $9.57, raising his holdings from 5,976 to 15,976 shares (a 167.3% increase). This open-market buy occurs as Kelly Services reports negative net income of $-150.1M on revenue of $935.0M, with annual revenue declining 1.9% year-over-year. The transaction price of $9.57 is 2.4% above the current market price of $9.35 and sits significantly below the 52-week high of $14.64 (down 36.1%). While the director's SAME-TICKER HISTORY shows two recent buys (on 2026-02-23 and 2026-02-18 with outcomes not yet measurable), his cross-ticker track record shows only 2 prior buys with no established pattern of well-timed execution. The purchase signals director-level capital commitment despite near-term deterioration in fundamentals and near-term stock weakness.

$9,580
@ $9.58
Significance 3/10

Director Hunt buys 1,000 shares of KELYA at $9.58; company unprofitable with -$150.1M net income

Director James Christopher Hunt purchased 1,000 shares at $9.58 on 2026-02-18, increasing his holdings by 20.1% from 4,976 to 5,976 shares. The transaction occurred as the company faces material headwinds: Kelly Services reported net income of -$150.1M in its most recent full fiscal year, with annual revenue growth of -1.9%, indicating sustained operational losses and declining top-line performance. The current stock price of $9.65 sits 34.1% below the 52-week high of $14.64, placing the purchase near 52-week lows. While the 90-day price movement of +16.7% shows recent recovery, this occurs within a context of company-wide unprofitability and revenue contraction, making the fundamental backdrop for the purchase materially adverse.

TERENCE E. ADDERLEY REVOCABLE TRUST K Sell

$105,999,972
@ $34.87
Significance 9/10

10% owner liquidates entire 3.04M share position for $106.0M as Kelly Services reports -$150.1M net loss

TERENCE E. ADDERLEY REVOCABLE TRUST K, a 10% owner of Kelly Services, sold 3,039,940 shares at $34.87 on 2026-01-30, eliminating its entire stake in the company and generating $105,999,971.85 in proceeds. The sale occurs in the context of severe operational distress: the company reported a net loss of -$150,100,000.00 with revenue of $935,000,000.00, declining -10.4% year-over-year, while remaining unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. This complete liquidation—not a partial reduction—by a major shareholder represents a meaningful signal about confidence in the business trajectory, particularly given the company's current profitability crisis and revenue contraction.

Anderson Troy R Buy
Executive Vice President, CFO
100 shares
$1,354
@ $13.54
Significance 4/10

CFO Anderson Troy R buys 100 shares of KELYA at $13.54; stock down 47.4% from 52-week high amid revenue decline and negative FY net income.

Anderson Troy R, CFO, purchased 100 shares at $13.54 on 2025-03-28, establishing an initial position with no prior holdings. The purchase occurs as KELYA trades at $13.17, within its 52-week range of $12.84–$25.05 but -47.4% from the 52-week high. Concurrent with this buy, the company faces material headwinds: annual revenue growth contracted -10.4% and the company reported negative full-year net income, despite a latest-quarter revenue of $1,038,100,000.00. While the CFO's purchase at a depressed price level may warrant monitoring, the modest share count (100 shares, $1,354.00 total value) and the company's recent unprofitable status limit the signal strength.

@ $13.88
Significance 4/10

SVP Malan Daniel H buys 3,500 shares of KELYA at $13.88 on 2024-11-20; stock down 44.3% from 52-week high.

Malan Daniel H, Senior Vice President of Kelly Services Inc, purchased 3,500 shares at $13.88 on 2024-11-20, bringing holdings to 95,906 shares post-transaction. The purchase occurs against a backdrop of significant recent price deterioration: the stock is 44.3% below its 52-week high of $25.05, with a 30-day decline of 29.5% and 90-day decline of 32.0%. Fundamentally, the company's net income is minimal at $800,000 against $1.0B in quarterly revenue, and annual revenue contracted 2.6% year-over-year. The insider's accumulation—adding 3.8% to pre-transaction holdings—provides evidence of willingness to add exposure at depressed prices, though context regarding scheduled commitments (such as a Rule 10b5-1 plan) is not provided in the filing data.
