Significance 3

Director Houlihan purchases 20,000 shares at $1.14–$1.19; stock down 18.9% in 30 days, 23.1% in 90 days.

William A Houlihan, a director at Lument Finance Trust, Inc., made 2 separate purchases totaling 20,000 shares for $23,300.00 (blended average $1.16) on 2026-05-20 and 2026-05-21, raising his post-transaction holdings to 280.7K shares. The timing is concerning: the current price of $1.03 is -61.0% from the 52-week high of $2.64, and the stock has declined 18.9% over the past 30 days and 23.1% over the past 90 days since these purchases. Houlihan's prior 3 measurable trades at LFT all showed negative 90-day returns (ranging from -17.6% to -18.5%), with a 0% win rate at this ticker, suggesting a consistent pattern of purchases made before further declines. The company's fundamentals remain strained, having reported a negative full-year net income, which adds downside risk context to this accumulation.

Director Houlihan buys 5,000 shares of LFT at $1.30; stock down -54.9% from 52-week high, down -10.8% in 30 days.

HOULIHAN WILLIAM A (Director) purchased 5,000 shares at $1.30 on 2026-03-27, bringing his holdings to 260,732 shares. The purchase occurs against a backdrop of significant recent price weakness: the stock is currently trading at $1.24, down -10.8% over the past 30 days and down -12.1% over 90 days, while sitting -54.9% from its 52-week high of $2.75. Houlihan's prior buy at this same ticker on 2025-11-25 (similarly a discretionary open-market purchase) experienced a -8.2% 30-day return and -17.6% 90-day return, representing a pattern of unfavorable timing outcomes. The underlying company is unprofitable on a full-year basis, and his 0.00% win rate across his cross-ticker track record of 4 prior buys (averaging -8.2% at 30 days, -17.6% at 90 days) suggests a consistent pattern of purchases followed by further declines.

Director William Houlihan buys 15,000 LFT shares at $1.29; stock down 57.2% from 52-week high of $2.83

Director William A. Houlihan purchased 15,000 shares at $1.29 on 2026-03-26, increasing his holdings to 255,732 shares. The timing is notable: the stock currently trades at $1.21, down 57.2% from its 52-week high of $2.83, and has declined 9.7% over the last 30 days and 17.1% over 90 days. Houlihan's prior buy on 2025-11-25 at this ticker resulted in a 90-day loss of 17.6%, and his cross-ticker track record shows zero wins across four prior buys with an average 90-day return of -17.6%. The company reported negative full-year net income despite a positive quarterly result of $1.8M, and carries a market cap of $63.4M. This purchase occurs during a period of sustained price weakness and follows a pattern of Houlihan's prior buys not reversing into gains at the 90-day horizon.

Director Keenan Walter C purchases 25,000 LFT shares at $1.46; stock down 50.9% from 52-week high.

Keenan Walter C, a Director, purchased 25,000 shares of Lument Finance Trust at $1.46 on 2025-12-30, increasing his holdings from 172.1K to 197.1K shares (+14.5%). The purchase occurs in a depressed price environment: the stock trades at $1.39 currently, 50.9% below its 52-week high of $2.83, and has declined 21.0% over the past 90 days. The company shows a modest P/E ratio of 7.32 with $1.8M net income and a $72.8M market cap. However, the insider's prior buy history at this ticker (two purchases on 2025-12-18 and 2025-12-19) provides limited forward-looking validation, as those recent transactions have not yet accumulated measurable 30 or 90-day returns. The pattern reflects continued accumulation during a significant drawdown, but without demonstrated timing accuracy in his LFT-specific history.

Director Keenan Walter C bought 10,000 shares at $1.49–$1.50 at Lument Finance Trust (LFT) amid 30% quarterly decline

Director Keenan Walter C completed 2 purchases totaling 10,000 shares for $14,907.95 at prices of $1.50 and $1.49, increasing his holdings from 162,116 to 172,116 shares. The transaction occurred as the stock has fallen 48.4% from its 52-week high of $2.83 and declined 30.1% over the prior 90 days, though it is trading only 2.1% below the blended purchase price of $1.49. At a P/E of 7.68 and market cap of $76.5M, the company shows near-breakeven profitability with net income of $1.8M. This purchase represents a 6.2% addition to his existing position during a period of material price depreciation, providing a direct transaction record for investor assessment without relying on prior timing patterns or external context.

CFO James A Briggs buys 10,000 LFT shares at $1.61; third consecutive buy in 6 days as stock down 34.4% in 90 days

CFO James A Briggs purchased 10,000 shares at $1.61 on 2025-12-01, bringing his holdings to 61,950 shares, a 19.2% increase. This is his third open-market purchase at LFT within six days (prior buys on 2025-11-28 and 2025-11-26), and a cluster pattern showing 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. The timing follows a significant decline: the stock is down 34.4% over 90 days and 47.4% from its 52-week high of $2.83, currently trading at $1.49. The company's fundamentals show a P/E of 7.84 with net income of $1,843,639.00, suggesting a valuation discount in absolute terms. The repeated accumulation during a sharp drawdown, combined with coordinated buying by other insiders, suggests opportunistic positioning at depressed price levels.

CFO James Briggs buys 3,200 shares of LFT at avg $1.61; 2 other insiders also bought within 14 days

CFO James Briggs made 2 separate purchases totaling 3,200 shares for $5,136.40, executed over two days at prices ($1.60 and $1.62) near current market levels of $1.63. His post-transaction holding of 51,950 shares represents a +6.6% increase in stake relative to his prior position of 48,750 shares. The purchase occurs while the stock is -42.4% from its 52-week high of $2.83 and has declined -27.2% over the trailing 90 days, though it has recovered +3.8% in the past 30 days. Notably, this filing is part of a cluster pattern in which 2 other insiders also purchased shares within the past 14 days. The company's P/E of 8.58 and modest market cap of $85.4M warrant evaluation of whether these concurrent insider accumulations reflect valuation-based opportunity or other considerations.

Director William A. Houlihan bought 3,000 shares of Lument Finance Trust at $1.59 amid -43.8% drawdown from 52-week high; 2 other insiders bought within 14 days.

William A. Houlihan, a director, purchased 3,000 shares at $1.59, adding to holdings that now total 240,732 shares. The stock is trading at -43.8% from its 52-week high of $2.83 and has declined -27.1% over the past 90 days, creating a substantially lower entry point than recent price history. His cross-ticker track record shows mixed timing: 2 prior open-market buys averaged +8.1% in 30-day returns but only +1.7% in 90-day returns with a 50% win rate. At this specific ticker (LFT), his prior two buys in 2023 showed one well-timed outcome at the 90-day mark but modest gains overall. Most notably, the filing reflects a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting multiple insiders are accumulating at depressed prices—a potential signal that management views current valuations as attractive relative to fundamentals (P/E 8.37, market cap $83.3M).

CEO Flynn James Peter buys 55,000 shares of LFT at $1.60; cluster buy with 2 other insiders in past 14 days

CEO Flynn James Peter purchased 55,000 shares at $1.60 on 2025-11-26, increasing his holdings by 17.0% from 323.9K to 378.9K shares. This buy occurs in a cluster pattern, with 2 other insiders also purchasing within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated accumulation at the same company level. The purchase price of $1.60 is 0.63% above the current price of $1.59 and represents an entry point 43.8% below the 52-week high of $2.83, positioned within the stock's depressed price range relative to recent history. The company trades at a P/E of 8.37 with $1.8M in net income on an $83.3M market cap, indicating the valuation environment at the time of purchase.
