Bentovim Lyron L, a director of Manhattan Bridge Capital, purchased 1,757 shares at $4.52 on 2025-11-19, increasing his holdings by 4.5% to 41,044 shares. The transaction occurred while the stock trades at $4.38, 26.4% below its 52-week high of $5.95 and down 16.6% over the past 30 days. The company operates with modest fundamentals: $2.0M quarterly revenue, $1.2M net income, a P/E of 9.52, and flat annual revenue growth of -1.1%. The purchase represents a modest accumulation at depressed near-year-low pricing, though the absolute dollar value ($7,941.64) is relatively small relative to the $50.1M market cap.

CEO Ran Assaf buys 4,000 shares at $4.65; stock now $4.43, down 15.3% in 30 days, after string of underwater trades at this ticker.

Ran Assaf, President and CEO, purchased 4,000 shares at $4.65 on 2025-11-17, bringing his holdings to 1,227,000 shares. The stock has declined to $4.43 (current price), down 15.3% over the prior 30 days and -18.3% over 90 days. At the same-ticker level, his five prior open-market buys at LOAN were all underwater at the 90-day mark: returns of -1.6%, -4.8%, -4.0%, -3.4%, and -1.6%, with a 0.00% well-timed rate. The company trades at a P/E of 9.63 on trailing revenue of $2.0M and net income of $1.2M; recent annual revenue growth is -1.1%. The repeated pattern of negative 90-day returns after his prior purchases at this ticker, combined with the current price weakness and narrow quarterly earnings base, suggests the CEO's buying into this stock has not historically preceded recoveries.
