Director Scheopner sells 41.1K shares of LARK for $1.2M at $30.01 avg, reducing stake by 33.8% to 80.3K shares

Michael Scheopner, a director at Landmark Bancorp, executed 4 separate sales totaling 41,058 shares for $1,232,216.16 on 2025-05-05 at a blended average price of $30.01. The sale reduced his holdings by 33.8% from 121,374 shares to 80,316 shares. The transaction prices ($30.00–$30.05 per share) were achieved near the 52-week high of $29.09, roughly 10.6% above the current price of $27.14. Against his own same-ticker history at LARK—one prior buy in November 2023 with a negative 90-day return of -3.0%—this sale occurs after the stock has already moved sharply: up 5.3% over 30 days and up 17.8% over 90 days from depressed levels. The company's valuation remains modest at a P/E of 11.96 with $3.9M net income and a $156.9M market cap.

Significance 5/10

Director Kohlrus Mark J. bought 150 LARK shares at $22.95 on 2025-03-06; repeated buying activity over five consecutive trading days

Kohlrus Mark J., a director, purchased 150 shares at $22.95, bringing his holdings to 2,229 shares and representing a +7.2% increase in his position. This transaction is part of a notable pattern: the same insider executed five separate buy orders at LARK over consecutive trading days (2025-02-26 through 2025-03-06). The stock currently trades at $22.12, down 9.8% from its 52-week high of $24.51 and off 4.0% over the past 30 days. The company has a P/E of 9.83 and market cap of $121.7M. The repetitive nature of purchases across five consecutive days merits monitoring, though the outcomes of these recent trades are not yet measurable at the 90-day mark, leaving no historical pattern to assess timing effectiveness.

Significance 6/10

Director Mark J. Kohlrus purchases 279 shares at $22.89 average (2 buys: 129@$23.04, 150@$22.75)

Director Mark J. Kohlrus made 2 separate purchases totaling 279 shares for $6,385.10, executed at prices of $23.04 on 2025-03-04 and $22.75 on 2025-03-05, bringing his holdings from 1,800 to 2,079 shares (+15.5%). The purchases occurred at a blended average price of $22.89, above the current price of $22.10 and within the 52-week range ($16.33–$24.51). This action follows a pattern of recent buying activity at LARK—Kohlrus executed 5 prior trades at the ticker on 2025-02-24, 2025-02-25, 2025-02-26, 2025-02-28, and 2025-03-03, all acquisitions. The company trades at a P/E of 9.82 with market cap of $121,576,984.10 and net income of $3,931,000.00. His cross-ticker track record shows 9 prior open-market buys; timing outcomes at LARK remain unmeasurable as outcomes have not yet crystallized.

Significance 5/10

Director Kohlrus buys 400 shares of LARK across 2 transactions at $23.74–$23.78; stock down 7.3% from 52-week high.

Mark J. Kohlrus, a director at Landmark Bancorp, purchased 400 shares in 2 separate open-market transactions on 2025-02-28 and 2025-03-03 at a blended average price of $23.76, bringing his holdings from 1,400 to 1,800 shares. The purchases occurred as the stock traded near its 52-week high of $24.51, currently sitting at $22.72 (down 7.3% from the high). His buying pattern is notable: this latest filing marks his sixth and seventh open-market purchases within a five-day window (2025-02-19 through 2025-02-28), suggesting sustained acquisition activity. However, the trading occurred at elevated valuations relative to current price, and no prior trades at this ticker have produced measurable 90-day outcomes to assess timing quality. The company trades at a P/E of 10.10 with a market cap of $124,987,741.12.

Director Mark J. Kohlrus purchased 200 shares of LARK at $22.50 on 2025-02-26, extending a 5-trade buying streak.

Mark J. Kohlrus, a Director, purchased 200 shares at $22.50, bringing his holdings to 1,400 shares (+16.7% increase in position size). This buy marks the sixth consecutive open-market purchase across his insider transaction history and the sixth acquisition at LARK specifically, with five prior buys at this ticker occurring on 2025-02-25, 2025-02-24, 2025-02-20, 2025-02-19, and 2025-02-18. The transaction occurred when LARK traded at $22.91 currently, -6.5% from its 52-week high of $24.51. LANDMARK BANCORP trades at a P/E of 10.18 with a market cap of $126,032,973.11 and reported net income of $3,931,000.00, reflecting a smaller-cap financial institution. The rapid succession of purchases across consecutive trading days warrants examination to determine whether these transactions are discretionary or part of a pre-arranged plan.

Significance 6/10

Director Kohlrus bought 400 shares ($4,913,698.00) in 2 transactions; holdings grew 50.0% to 1,200 shares

Mark J. Kohlrus, a director at Landmark Bancorp, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 400 shares for $4,913,698.00 over consecutive days (Feb 24–25, 2025), raising his holdings by 50.0% from 800 to 1,200 shares. The blended average price of $12,284.24 contrasts sharply with the current price of $22.10, though the stock is currently -9.8% from its 52-week high of $24.51. This follows a series of 4 prior purchases at LARK within the preceding 2 weeks (Feb 11, 18, 19, 20), all still early in their outcome windows. The company trades at a P/E of 9.82 with a market cap of $121,576,984.10, and reported net income of $3,931,000.00. Investors should note the concentrated recent buying activity and monitor whether this insider accumulation pattern aligns with operational or strategic developments at the company.

Significance 4/10

LARK Director Kohlrus buys 200 shares at $25.00 amid 4 consecutive days of purchases; stock now $22.96 vs 52-wk high $24.51

Mark J. Kohlrus, a Director at Landmark Bancorp, purchased 200 shares at $25.00 on 2025-02-20, increasing his holdings from 600 to 800 shares (+33.3%). This transaction is part of a striking pattern: Kohlrus executed 4 separate purchases over 4 consecutive trading days (2025-02-11, 2025-02-18, 2025-02-19, and 2025-02-20), all at this ticker. The stock currently trades at $22.96, down 6.3% from its 52-week high of $24.51, placing the insider's most recent purchase above the current market price. With a P/E of 10.20 and net income of $3.9M across a $126.3M market cap, Landmark trades at a modest valuation multiple. The rapid-fire buying pattern over consecutive days warrants attention to the underlying motivation—the factual observation is that this director has materially increased exposure through four discrete purchases in four days, yet same-ticker measurable outcomes are not yet available to assess the timing of these trades.

Significance 5/10

Director Kohlrus Mark J. bought 400 shares across 2 transactions for $10,217.00 at LARK, tripling holdings to 600 shares.

Director Kohlrus Mark J. made 2 separate purchases totaling 400 shares for $10,217.00 on consecutive days at prices of $26.00 and $25.08, increasing his holdings by 200.0% from 200 to 600 shares. The blended average purchase price of $25.54 compares closely to the current price of $24.49, placing the transactions near recent highs; the stock is -0.1% from its 52-week high of $24.51 and has gained 7.1% over the past 30 days. His prior transaction at LARK occurred just one week earlier (2025-02-11), establishing a pattern of consecutive open-market accumulation at this ticker. Against a P/E of 10.88 and net income of $3,931,000.00, the director's rapid scaling of his position suggests sustained engagement, though with only 1 prior buy in his cross-ticker history, the timing reliability of this pattern remains unestablished.

Significance 5/10

Director Kohlrus Mark J. purchased 200 LARK shares at $24.70; current price $23.93 near 52-week high of $23.93.

Director Kohlrus Mark J. established an initial 200-share position in Landmark Bancorp at $24.70 on February 11, 2025, at a price at the top of the 52-week range. The stock has appreciated 6.7% over the prior 30 days and 19.6% over 90 days, indicating recent upward momentum heading into this purchase. With a P/E of 10.64 and net income of $3,931,000.00, the company trades at a relatively modest valuation. This inaugural purchase by a director warrants monitoring to determine whether it marks a sustained engagement or represents a routine token position.
