MNTR Mentor Capital, Inc. Insider Trading

CEO Billingsley Chester bought 2,000 shares at blended avg $0.05 amid -58.3% 52-week decline and -97.8% revenue collapse

Billingsley Chester, CEO of Mentor Capital, made 2 separate purchases totaling 2,000 shares for $108.88 on April 13–14, 2026, at a blended average price of $0.05. The transaction occurs in a deeply distressed context: the stock is -58.3% from its 52-week high, down -40.0% over the prior 30 days, and the company faces fundamental collapse with annual revenue declining -97.8% and the firm unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buy trades averaging -30.3% returns at the 30-day mark, establishing a pattern of ill-timed accumulation. At MNTR specifically, Chester executed 5 buys in the 6 trading days preceding this Form 4 filing (April 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, and now 13–14), with no measurable outcomes yet; this rapid repeated buying into accelerating decline warrants scrutiny of whether the CEO's conviction reflects private information or repeated misjudgment of deteriorating conditions.

CEO Billingsley Chester purchased 4,000 shares at $0.06 across 3 days (Apr 8–10), now holding 9.11M shares; stock down 50% from 52-week high.

Billingsley Chester, Chief Executive Officer of Mentor Capital, Inc., made 3 separate purchases totaling 4,000 shares for $246.10 at $0.06 per share over April 8–10, 2026. This adds to a pattern of 5 prior purchases at MNTR in the preceding three weeks (March 20–April 7), suggesting repeated accumulation during a period of weakness: the stock is currently down 50.0% from its 52-week high and has declined 25.0% in the last 30 days and 32.5% over 90 days. The company reported latest quarter revenue of $40,430.00 with net income of $2,675.00, and while annual revenue growth reached 28.2%, the company remains unprofitable on a full-year basis. The CEO's purchases represent a small increase (+0.0% relative to his 9.11M pre-transaction holdings), so the aggregate position is substantial. Investors should monitor whether repeated insider accumulation at depressed prices reflects conviction or reflects the company's deteriorating financial position.

CEO Billingsley Chester buys 897 MNTR shares at $0.06; stock down 58.3% from 52-week high; 5 consecutive buys in 17 days

Billingsley Chester (Chief Executive Officer) purchased 897 shares of Mentor Capital at $0.06 on 2026-04-07, representing a marginal addition to his 9.11M share position. This purchase is the fifth consecutive buy across a 17-day window (2026-03-19 through 2026-04-07), all while the stock has declined 58.3% from its 52-week high and fallen 35.3% over the past 30 days. The company reported a most recent quarterly revenue of $40,430.00 and net income of $2,675.00, with annual revenue growth of 28.2%, but remains unprofitable on a full-year basis. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys averaging a -24.3% 30-day return, and none of his prior same-ticker trades at MNTR yet have measurable 90-day outcomes. The repeated small purchases during sustained price deterioration merit observation, though the minimal share values and near-total illiquidity of the position complicate interpretation.

CEO Chester bought 3 shares of MNTR at $0.06 on 2026-04-01; stock down 50.0% from 52-week high.

CEO Billingsley Chester purchased 3 shares at $0.06, a negligible addition to his 3,200,399-share position. The transaction occurred amid material price deterioration: MNTR trades at $0.06, down 50.0% from its 52-week high and 24.2% in the prior 30 days. Chester's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys averaging -21.1% return over 30 days, indicating his recent purchases have historically not fared well. At MNTR specifically, he completed 5 separate buys between 2026-03-18 and 2026-03-26 (outcomes not yet measurable), followed by this April 1 purchase—a clustering of activity during a sustained downturn. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $40,430.00 and net income of $2,675.00, but it posted negative net income over its most recent full fiscal year despite 28.2% annual revenue growth. The combination of a micro-sized purchase, consistent underperformance in Chester's prior buy activity, and the company's negative profitability context suggests this transaction warrants scrutiny as to whether it reflects informed conviction or routine portfolio activity.

CEO Billingsley Chester bought 4,100 shares at blended $0.07 across 2 transactions (Mar 25–26); stock down 41.7% from 52-week high.

Billingsley Chester, Chief Executive Officer of Mentor Capital, Inc., executed 2 separate purchases totaling 4,100 shares for $298.00 on March 25–26, 2026, at prices ($0.07 and $0.08) near the current market price of $0.07. The CEO's post-transaction holdings of 3,200,396 shares represent a +0.1% increase, a minor addition to an already substantial ownership position. The stock has declined 41.7% from its 52-week high of $0.12 and is down 9.8% over the past 30 days, placing the purchase during a period of sustained weakness. Chester's cross-ticker buy track record shows an average 30-day return of -15.6% across 20 prior open-market purchases, and his 5 most recent MNTR purchases (March 13–20) remain without measurable outcomes. The company reported latest quarterly revenue of $40,430.00 with a loss (full-year net income was negative), though annual revenue growth of +28.2% indicates expansion amid profitability headwinds.

CEO Billingsley Chester bought 2,300 shares at $0.08 across 2 transactions; stock now $0.07, down 20.1% in 30 days

Billingsley Chester, CEO of Mentor Capital, made 2 purchases totaling 2,300 shares for $180.75 on 2026-03-19 and 2026-03-20, increasing his holdings from 3,193,996 to 3,196,296 shares. The stock has declined to $0.07 from his $0.08 purchase price, and is down 20.1% over the past 30 days and -41.7% from its 52-week high of $0.12. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with an average 30-day return of -13.3%, while his 5 prior purchases at MNTR remain too recent to measure outcomes. The company generated $40.4K in quarterly revenue with $2.7K net income, but was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year despite 28.2% annual revenue growth. The purchase occurs in the context of significant recent price weakness and a pattern of below-market timing on his cross-ticker buy history.

Mentor Capital CEO Chester Billingsley purchases 1,600 shares at $0.08 across two transactions (2026-03-16 and -18).

Billingsley Chester, CEO of Mentor Capital, executed two open-market purchases totaling 1,600 shares for $133.70 (blended average price $0.08) on March 16 and 18, 2026. The purchase increased his holdings from 3,192,396 shares to 3,193,996 shares, a +0.1% increase. The transaction occurred at the current market price of $0.08, which sits -33.3% from the 52-week high and reflects a small dollar commitment relative to his substantial existing position. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with an average 30-day return of -9.9%, and his five prior transactions at MNTR (all executed within days of this filing, between March 6–13) remain too recent to measure returns; none of his historical buys at this ticker have yet achieved positive 90-day returns. The company generated $40.4K quarterly revenue with $2.7K net income, posting +28.2% annual revenue growth but negative full-year net income, leaving fundamentals mixed.

CEO Billingsley Chester bought 3,550 shares at $0.08 across 3 transactions (March 11–13), expanding holdings by 0.1% to 3,192,396 shares as stock trades near 52-week low.

Billingsley Chester, Chief Executive Officer of Mentor Capital, Inc., executed 3 purchases totaling 3,550 shares for $294.87 at the current price of $0.08, which sits -33.3% from the 52-week high and -10.1% over the past 30 days. The purchases expand his holdings marginally by 0.1%, and notably all 5 of his recent trades at MNTR (between March 2–9) remain too recent for 90-day outcome assessment. Across his cross-ticker track record of 20 prior buys, the average 30-day return is -8.0%, suggesting his purchases have not historically captured near-term rebounds. The company's fundamentals are mixed: annual revenue growth stands at +28.2% but it was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, and the latest quarter reported only $40,430.00 in revenue and $2,675.00 in net income against a market cap of $1,734,888.40—warranting careful attention to whether these purchases reflect outsized confidence in a turnaround or simply routine cash deployment at depressed levels.

CEO Billingsley Chester bought 1,750 shares at $0.08 across 3 transactions at Mentor Capital amid 33.3% decline from 52-week high.

Billingsley Chester, Chief Executive Officer of Mentor Capital, Inc., executed 3 separate purchases totaling 1,750 shares for $145.36 between 2026-03-05 and 2026-03-09, all at a blended average price of $0.08. The transactions occur against a backdrop of material price weakness: the stock is -33.3% from its 52-week high and down -10.7% over the past 30 days. Additionally, this represents the fifth consecutive buy by Chester at MNTR within a narrow window (2026-02-25 through 2026-03-09), though none of his prior same-ticker trades have yet reached measurable 90-day outcomes. The company's fundamentals present a mixed picture: while annual revenue growth stands at +28.2%, the firm was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, and the current quarterly revenue of $40,430.00 and net income of $2,675.00 are extremely limited in absolute scale relative to a market cap of $1,734,888.40. The series of small purchases during a period of sustained stock weakness, combined with the company's ongoing unprofitability despite revenue growth, invites closer examination of whether these acquisitions reflect informed conviction or represent noise in a microcap security with constrained trading dynamics.

CEO Billingsley Chester purchases 2,400 shares at $0.08 across two transactions at depressed valuations.

Billingsley Chester, CEO of Mentor Capital, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 2,400 shares for $199.52 on 2026-03-02 and 2026-03-04. The current share price of $0.08 matches the blended average transaction price, yet sits 33.3% below the 52-week high of $0.12. Most notably, the purchase activity follows a rapid sequence: the CEO completed 5 prior buys at MNTR within the preceding 14 days (2026-02-17 through 2026-02-27), all at the same $0.08 price point. This pattern—five consecutive discretionary open-market purchases in two weeks at a single price level during a 12.7% 90-day decline—warrants investor examination of the underlying drivers, whether recent operational developments or market-price conditions. The company's fundamentals remain challenged: full-year net income was negative despite quarterly revenue of $40,430.00 and annual growth of +28.2%. Without scheduled plan disclosure (10b5-1), these repeated small purchases appear discretionary, though the static price and tight clustering suggest either a floor-set by CEO conviction or reactive averaging into a depressed position.
