NWBI Northwest Bancshares, Inc. Insider Trading

Director Timothy M Hunter bought 10,000 shares of NWBI at $13.97; holdings now 199,751 shares.

Timothy M Hunter, Director, purchased 10,000 shares at $13.97 on 2026-05-27, increasing his holdings from 189,751 shares to 199,751 shares. The current stock price of $13.89 sits within 2.6% of its 52-week peak of $14.26, and the stock has gained 11.6% over the prior 90 days. Examining his prior NWBI transactions, Hunter's timing has been mixed: of his 4 prior buys at this ticker, 3 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, though individual outcomes ranged from -5.7% to +13.7% over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows a 75.00% 90-day win rate across 4 prior buys with an average 90-day return of +2.8%. This purchase occurs as the stock is elevated relative to its 52-week range and follows a recent 11.6% quarterly gain, suggesting the director is adding to his position in a rising market.

Chief Cons. Banking Officer Bowers makes first open-market purchase of 7,000 shares as 3 insiders buy within 2 weeks, stock near 52-week lows in profitable bank.

Bowers Urich T, the bank's Chief Consultant Banking and Strategy Officer, made his first open-market share purchase in at least three years, acquiring 7,000 shares to add roughly 18.5% to his existing stake. This is significant because all his prior Form 4 activity was stock-based compensation; using personal capital to buy on the open market signals a different commitment than receiving shares as part of salary. The purchase comes as the stock trades well below its 52-week high, and simultaneously, two other insiders at Northwest Bancshares bought shares within the same two-week window, creating a rare cluster of insider buying activity. The company is profitable and generating earnings, so this is not a distressed business—Bowers is buying into a fundamentally sound bank when the stock has pulled back from its highs.

CFO Schosser purchases 1,500 shares at market; second open-market buy in 36 months, stock near 52-week highs, company profitable.

Schosser Douglas M, the CFO of Northwest Bancshares, purchased 1,500 shares on the open market, representing a 1.9% increase to his holdings. This is his second open-market purchase in the past three years, following an earlier buy in mid-2024 that saw the stock decline in both the subsequent month and quarter—not a well-timed entry. He is buying now while the stock trades close to its 52-week high and the company remains solidly profitable with stable earnings. The unfavorable outcome from his prior purchase suggests either that timing the market has proven difficult for this insider, or that he is committed to accumulating regardless of price levels. Investors should note that this repeat purchase from the CFO occurs at an elevated price point relative to his last buy, which makes the conviction less pronounced than it would appear if he were accumulating at lower levels.

CRO Betchkal makes first open-market purchase of 5K shares at bank trading below 52-week highs

Betchkal Gregory J., Chief Risk Officer of Northwest Bancshares, purchased 5,000 shares on the open market—his first such purchase in the past three years, as all prior Form 4 activity involved stock-based compensation. This shift from passive equity compensation to active personal capital deployment distinguishes Betchkal as someone willing to put his own money behind the company at current valuations. The timing is notable: the stock trades notably below its 52-week high yet shows positive momentum over the past quarter, suggesting he is buying into a company that has recently stabilized after a broader recent decline. Northwest Bancshares remains profitable with a reasonable valuation multiple, providing a financially sound backdrop for the purchase. As Chief Risk Officer, Betchkal's role gives him direct visibility into the company's credit quality and capital position, and his decision to increase personal equity stake during a period of price recovery merits attention from investors monitoring insider conviction at the institution.

NWBI CEO Torchio buys 3,500 shares at $12.16; holds 171,341 shares post-transaction, up 2.1% from prior position

President & CEO Louis J Torchio purchased 3,500 shares of Northwest Bancshares at $12.16 on 2026-03-06, bringing total holdings to 171,341 shares. The stock currently trades at $12.31, down 7.7% over the past 30 days and 9.0% from its 52-week high of $13.53. At the same-ticker level, Torchio's prior two purchases at NWBI generated mixed results: the May 2024 buy delivered a 90-day return of +29.2%, while the August 2023 purchase saw a 90-day return of -0.3%, with only one of the two prior buys showing strong follow-through. The CEO's cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior open-market purchases with an average 90-day return of +14.4%, though that win rate stands at 50.00%. The company trades at a P/E of 12.96 on net income of $3.2M and a market cap of $1.8B. This buy occurs as the stock sits near intermediate weakness, offering limited near-term price momentum to validate the trade's timing.

Director Robert M. Campana buys 2,000 shares of NWBI at $12.62; holdings rise to 67,366 shares

Robert M. Campana, a director at Northwest Bancshares, purchased 2,000 shares at $12.62 on 2026-01-29, increasing his holdings by 3.1% to 67,366 shares. This open-market buy occurs at a price 1.3% below the current level of $12.79 and within the historical 52-week range of $10.90–$13.53. Campana's cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior buys with an average 90-day return of +12.6% and a 100% win rate, though at NWBI specifically, his prior buy on 2025-11-20 returned +10.9% in 30 days and his 2023-05-03 purchase returned +12.6% over 90 days. The stock has advanced 5.7% in the 30 days and 9.2% in the 90 days prior to this transaction, suggesting continued upward momentum in the company's valuation.

Director Tullio bought 1,500 shares of NWBI at $12.26; 2 other insiders bought within 14 days (cluster pattern).

Director David M Tullio purchased 1,500 shares at $12.26, raising his holdings to 30,051 shares (+5.3% vs pre-transaction holdings). This transaction is part of a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders have also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or aligned capital deployment. The stock currently trades at $12.31, near the transaction price, and is -15.7% from its 52-week high, placing the purchase in a depressed zone within recent price history. With a P/E of 15.99 and market cap of $1,798,490,643.01, NWBI shows modest valuation fundamentals, but the convergence of multiple insider purchases warrants scrutiny of the underlying reasons for this buying cluster.

Director Timothy M Hunter bought 4,000 shares of NWBI at $12.18; cluster buy pattern with 2 other insiders in past 14 days.

Director Timothy M Hunter purchased 4,000 shares at $12.18 on 2025-12-05, increasing his holdings to 189,751 shares (+2.2% from prior position). The purchase occurs within a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated board-level interest in the stock. Hunter's same-ticker history at NWBI shows mixed results—2 of his 3 prior buys there delivered positive 90-day returns (+9.0% and +13.7%), with the current price at $12.27 now -16.0% from the 52-week high of $14.60. The stock has recovered +4.7% over the past 30 days, offsetting a -1.7% decline over 90 days. At a P/E of 15.94 and market cap of $1,792,646,644.17, the company's valuation appears modest, warranting scrutiny of whether this cluster activity reflects informed conviction about near-term recovery or simply routine portfolio management by board members.

Director Meegan buys 1,500 NWBI shares at $12.10; cluster buy pattern with 3 other insiders in 14 days

Director Meegan John P purchased 1,500 shares at $12.10, increasing holdings from 20,000 to 21,500 shares. This purchase occurs within a cluster: 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or independent alignment of insider appetite at current valuations. The stock trades at $12.26 (current price), near the bottom of its 52-week range ($10.90–$14.80) and -17.2% from its 52-week high, indicating Meegan is buying into a period of relative weakness. The P/E of 15.92 and $1.8B market cap suggest a modest-sized regional bank, where insider accumulation patterns warrant attention as a potential read on near-term management outlook.

Director Chadsey bought 1,700 shares of NWBI at $11.78; 2 other insiders also bought in past 14 days

Chadsey Deborah J Esq., a director of Northwest Bancshares, Inc., purchased 1,700 shares at $11.78 on 2025-11-21, increasing her holdings by 47.9% from 3,550 to 5,250 shares and investing $20,034.50 total.

The company has a P/E of 15.81 and market cap of $1,778,036,647.07, with net income of $3,167,000.00. Multiple directors accumulating shares within a two-week window, despite recent price weakness, suggests insider perspective that current valuation warrants capital deployment.
