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.
