Director Steven Yu-Tsung Pei purchases 250,000 shares at $4.09–$4.10 across 2 transactions ($1.0M), amid cluster buy and steep revenue decline.

Director Steven Yu-Tsung Pei executed 2 separate purchases totaling 250,000 shares for $1,024,225.00 at a blended average price of $4.10, raising his holdings from 1,618,323 to 1,868,323 shares. The stock currently trades at $4.08, near the transaction prices, and is down 15.0% from its 52-week high of $4.80 but has gained 16.9% over the past 30 days and 30.8% over 90 days. This purchase occurs alongside a cluster of 3 other insider buys within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated accumulation at this price level. The company faces significant operational headwinds: annual revenue has contracted 48.5% year-over-year, and the most recent quarter showed revenue of $313,456.00 with a net loss of $9,383,417.00, indicating the company is unprofitable on both quarterly and full-year basis. The timing of this director-level accumulation during a period of severe revenue deterioration and a recent near-52-week-high price level presents a mixed signal warranting examination of management's stated rationale for the purchases.

Director Robert Spence purchases 24,410 shares of LODE at $3.97, raising stake 305.4% to 32,403 shares amid revenue decline

Robert Spence (Director) acquired 24,410 shares for $96,907.70 at $3.97 per share, expanding his holdings from 7,993 shares to 32,403 shares—a 305.4% increase in his position. This material accumulation occurs while Comstock Inc. faces significant operational headwinds: the company reported net income of $-9,383,417.00 for its latest full fiscal year and annual revenue growth of -48.5%, indicating sustained losses and contracting revenues. The stock has recovered +21.4% over 30 days and +18.1% over 90 days from a 52-week low of $2.24, though it remains -18.3% below its 52-week high of $4.80. The transaction merits scrutiny given the scale of the position increase relative to the company's unprofitable state.

Director Steven Yu-Tsung Pei purchased 360,000 shares across 3 transactions (Jun 1-3, 2026) at blended $4.02; largest buy in LODE holdings (+23.5%)

Director Steven Yu-Tsung Pei executed 3 separate purchases totaling 360,000 shares for $1,446,677.49 over three consecutive trading days, raising his holdings from 1,530,980 shares to 1,890,980 shares—a 23.5% increase in his position at the company. The purchases occurred at prices ($4.14, $4.10, and $3.93) clustering near recent trading levels, with the blended average of $4.02 just above the current price of $3.92, placing the transaction in the 52-week context of -18.3% from the high but +21.4% over the prior 30 days. Notably, his prior two purchases at LODE (May 13 and May 14) both demonstrated positive 90-day returns of 23.0% and 21.2% respectively, establishing a pattern of well-timed entries at this ticker. However, the company's fundamentals present a contrasting backdrop: latest quarterly revenue was $313,456.00, net income stands at $-9,383,417.00, annual revenue growth is -48.5%, and the company remains unprofitable on a full-year basis, suggesting the director's accumulation may reflect conviction at depressed valuations or a structural belief disconnected from near-term earnings recovery.

CEO Degasperis bought 10,682 shares of LODE at $3.98; cluster of 3 insiders buying within 14 days amid unprofitable operations and -48.5% annual revenue decline

Corrado Degasperis, who was CEO at the time of filing, purchased 10,682 shares ($42.5K) on 2026-06-03 at $3.98, increasing holdings to 181.5K shares. This buy occurs as part of a cluster: 2 other insiders also purchased LODE within the past 14 days. Notably, his prior 2 purchases at LODE both showed positive 90-day returns (43.6% and 271.5%), with both timed at points where the stock subsequently appreciated. However, this timing advantage must be contextualized against the company's deteriorating fundamentals—LODE posted a net loss of $-9.4M over its most recent full fiscal year, with quarterly revenue of $313.5K and annual revenue growth of -48.5% year-over-year. The current stock price of $3.92 sits 18.3% below the 52-week high, having gained 21.4% over the past 30 days and 18.1% over 90 days. The coordinated insider buying pattern combined with historical accuracy at this specific ticker presents a signal worth monitoring, but the company's significant unprofitability and declining revenue raise material questions about sustainability and valuation.

Director Leo M Drozdoff bought 7,000 shares of LODE at $4.11 on 2026-06-03; stock now at $3.92, cluster buy pattern detected.

Leo M Drozdoff, a Director, purchased 7,000 shares at $4.11 on 2026-06-03 for $28,770.00, bringing his holdings to 193,474 shares and representing a +3.8% increase in his position. Notably, his prior two buys at LODE showed strong outcomes: the 2026-03-30 purchase returned +38.3% over 90 days, and the 2024-08-14 purchase returned +2259.6% over 90 days. This latest purchase arrives as part of a broader cluster pattern, with 3 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated conviction at this price level. However, the company's fundamentals present a stark counterpoint: annual revenue growth of -48.5%, unprofitable operations with net income of $-9,383,417.00 (full-year), and recent quarterly revenue of only $313,456.00. The stock is currently trading at $3.92, down 18.3% from its 52-week high of $4.80.

Director Pei Steven Yu-Tsung bought 424,559 shares (424.6K) for $1,436,864.58 at blended $3.38; post-transaction holding 1,530,980 shares (1.53M).

Director Pei Steven Yu-Tsung executed a substantial two-day purchase of 424,559 shares (424.6K shares) for $1,436,864.58, increasing his stake from 7,993 shares to 1,530,980 shares (1.53M shares)—a net acquisition of 1,522,987 shares that represents a dramatic expansion of his position in the company. The purchases occurred at $3.38 and $3.42, prices that sit near the current market price of $3.32 and within the 52-week range of $2.24–$4.80, though notably -30.8% below the 52-week high, suggesting acquisition during a relative pullback. However, the company's operational context presents significant headwinds: latest-quarter revenue is only $313,456.00 ($313.5K) with a net loss of $-9,383,417.00 ($-9.4M), while annual revenue declined -48.5% year-over-year and the firm remains unprofitable with a market cap of $252,031,438.88 ($252.0M). This large insider purchase by a director conflicts with the company's deteriorating financial position, warranting scrutiny into whether the acquisition reflects conviction in a turnaround narrative or reflects other considerations such as internal information asymmetry.

CEO Corrado Degasperis purchases 35k shares of LODE as stock trades well below 52-week highs amid unprofitable operations.

Corrado Degasperis, the CEO of Comstock Inc., purchased a substantial block of shares, increasing his holdings by roughly a quarter. This is his second open-market purchase in the past two years, continuing a pattern of buying at the executive level. However, the historical track record presents a cautionary signal: his prior purchase at this company resulted in significant losses over both the short and long term, with the stock declining meaningfully in the months that followed. The current purchase occurs while the company is unprofitable with declining revenues, and the stock is trading well below its 52-week high, suggesting he is buying into weakness. Yet his previous timing at this same stock was poor, raising questions about whether this repeat purchase reflects genuine conviction or simply adds to a pattern of mistimed acquisitions.

CFO Merrill Judd purchased 3,700 shares of LODE at $3.08; holdings surge 725.5% to 4.2K shares amid -48.5% revenue decline and $-12.9M annual loss.

Merrill Judd, Chief Financial Officer, purchased 3,700 shares at $3.08, increasing his total holdings from 510 to 4,210 shares (a 725.5% increase in his position). This purchase occurs against a backdrop of material deterioration: annual revenue declined -48.5%, the company reported a net loss of $-12,888,336.00 over its most recent full fiscal year, and quarterly revenue stands at only $54,079.00. The stock is currently trading at $3.08, down -32.9% from its 52-week high of $4.59. The CFO's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with a 100.00% 90-day win rate and an average 90-day return of +10346.2%, though this historical performance is drawn from activity across multiple tickers, not specific to LODE. Given the company's persistent unprofitability and sharp revenue contraction, this purchase warrants examination of whether the CFO views the current valuation as attractive relative to turnaround prospects, or whether other business developments not yet public may inform the decision.

Director Leo M Drozdoff buys 28,000 shares at $3.00; holds 178,481 post-trade amid 48.5% revenue decline and $-12.9M net loss.

Director Leo M Drozdoff purchased 28,000 shares of Comstock Inc. at $3.00 on 2026-03-30, increasing his holdings by 18.6% to 178,481 shares. The purchase arrives against a backdrop of deteriorating fundamentals: annual revenue fell 48.5% year-over-year, the company reported a net loss of $-12.9M in its most recent full fiscal year, and quarterly revenue stands at $54.1K. Drozdoff's cross-ticker trading history shows strong prior returns (2 prior buys with avg 90d return +2259.6% and 100% win rate), though his same-ticker history at LODE is mixed — one prior 2024 buy yielded +2081.5% at 90 days, but the timing pattern reflects 1 of 1 prior buys well-timed at the 90-day mark. The current stock price of $3.08 sits 32.9% below its 52-week high and down 18.1% over the past 90 days, providing a lower entry point than previous opportunities at this ticker. This transaction presents a tension between an insider's demonstrated track record of favorable returns on prior open-market purchases and the company's current weak operational trajectory.

Director Leo M Drozdoff bought 200,000 shares of LODE at $0.15, raising holdings 50% post-transaction; stock is -76.7% from 52-week high.

Drozdoff purchased 200,000 shares at $0.15 on 2024-08-14, expanding his position from 400,000 to 600,000 shares in a low-price accumulation. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with an average 90-day return of +942.6%, though his single prior transaction at LODE (2023-11-09) also yielded a 90d return of +942.6%. The stock currently trades at $1.42, down 11.5% in the past 30 days and down 40.4% in the past 90 days, well below the 52-week high of $6.09. This purchase occurs in the context of significant recent price weakness and a company posting quarterly revenue of $434,824.00 against a net loss of $-8,633,552.00, indicating material operational challenges. The transaction's significance hinges on whether this director-level accumulation at a depressed price point reflects underlying confidence in a turnaround, or merely reflects an attempt to establish position in a troubled asset.
