Director Harold L Keene buys 16,514 shares of NWPP at $4.39; 4 of 4 prior buys at this ticker achieved positive 90-day returns.

Harold L Keene, a director of New Peoples Bankshares, purchased 16,514 shares at $4.39, expanding his holdings by 24.4% to 84,074 shares. His timing track record at this specific ticker is notably strong: all 4 of his prior buys at NWPP delivered positive 90-day returns, ranging from +15.0% to +25.3%, indicating a consistent pattern of entering at favorable price levels. The current stock price of $4.38 sits near the 52-week high of $4.42 and is up 3.1% over the last 30 days, though the company faces headwinds including a -5.6% annual revenue decline year-over-year and a modest P/E of 9.12. This accumulation by a director occurs against a backdrop of demonstrated timing acuity at this exact security, warranting investor attention to whether this insider's conviction translates to positive momentum ahead.

Director Harold L Keene net purchases 3,500 NWPP shares; mixed-price transaction (sold 1,500 at $4.30, bought 5,000 at $4.40) amid positive 90-day track record at this ticker.

Harold L Keene filed a two-part transaction selling 1,500 shares for $6,450.00 and buying 5,000 shares for $22,000.00, resulting in a net acquisition of 3,500 shares. His same-ticker history at NWPP shows 4 of 4 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with returns ranging from +15.0% to +25.3%, establishing a consistent pattern of favorable execution on this stock. The current price of $4.38 sits -0.9% from the 52-week high and the 30-day change of +3.1% mirrors his cross-ticker track record average 30-day return of +3.3%, suggesting the stock is trading near recent strength. This filing reflects continued accumulation at the director level into a position already totaling 1,128,710 shares post-transaction, maintaining his substantial shareholder status in a $103.2M market-cap community bank.

Significance 7

Director Blaine Scott White buys 5,000 shares of NWPP at $4.34; 5 of 5 prior trades at this ticker well-timed at 90-day mark.

Director Blaine Scott White purchased 5,000 shares at $4.34, increasing his holdings to 260.0K shares. This transaction follows a consistent pattern at NWPP: all 5 of his prior buys at this ticker have been well-timed at the 90-day mark, with prior 90-day returns ranging from +1.4% to +18.4%. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 90d win rate of 93.75%, suggesting consistency in identifying favorable entry points. At a P/E of 9.04 and market cap of $102.2M, NWPP trades at a modest valuation, though recent annual revenue growth stands at -5.6%, warranting attention to the company's organic growth trajectory.

Significance 4

Director John Cox purchases 8,570 shares of NWWP in open-market transaction, adding to modest holdings.

Director John D Cox purchased shares in open-market activity, signaling at least modest confidence in the bank's prospects. The purchase represents a small addition to his holdings, and comes at a time when the company remains profitable but faces underlying headwinds—revenue has contracted while profitability persists, suggesting operational pressures are not yet severe. The stock's modest valuation and profitable status make this less dramatic than insider buying at peaks, but a director's decision to add to shares during a period of softening revenue indicates he sees value at current levels rather than concern warranting a defensive stance. This is routine director participation rather than a concentrated conviction play, and its significance depends on whether broader insider activity or company-specific catalysts emerge in the coming quarters.

Significance 4

Director COX JOHN D bought 4,234 shares of NWWP at $4.16 on 2026-03-03; holdings now 767,711 shares post-transaction.

Director COX JOHN D purchased 4,234 shares at $4.16, a modest addition representing +0.6% versus pre-transaction holdings of 763,477 shares. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 100.00% 90-day win rate and average 90d return of +7.4%, indicating consistency in his open-market purchase timing across all tickers. However, at NWWP specifically, he has only one prior measurable trade (a buy on 2026-02-13), with no outcome yet determinable. The company posted quarterly revenue of $1,003,000.00 and net income of $2,758,000.00, with full-year revenue declining -1.2% year-over-year. This purchase occurs within a context of modest revenue contraction and warrants observation of whether his historical cross-ticker timing skill extends to this specific holding.

Director White Blaine Scott bought 4,233 shares of NWPP at $4.16 on 2026-03-03; holdings now 254,950 shares with stock at $4.30.

Director White Blaine Scott added 4,233 shares at $4.16, increasing his holdings by 1.7% to 254,950 shares. The stock has traded to $4.30, representing a +0.0% return from its 52-week high of $4.30, and has appreciated 12.6% over the prior 90 days. At the same ticker (NWPP), the insider has completed 5 prior trades; of the 3 measurable 90-day outcomes, all were positive (ranging from +1.6% to +14.0%), suggesting a consistent pattern of well-timed entry points. His cross-ticker track record shows a 87.50% win rate at the 90-day mark with an average return of +5.0%. The company trades at a P/E of 10.24 with market cap $101,370,534.90, and most recent quarterly financials show revenue of $1,003,000.00 and net income of $2,758,000.00, though full-year revenue has declined 1.2% year-over-year. The combination of a director's deliberate accumulation, demonstrated prior timing success at this specific ticker, and recent upward price momentum warrants monitoring of whether this pattern persists in future quarters.

Director COX JOHN D bought 11,724 shares of NWWP at $3.84; holds 763,477 post-transaction.

COX JOHN D, a director, purchased 11,724 shares at $3.84 on 2026-02-13, increasing his holdings by 1.6% to 763,477 shares. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market buys with an average 90-day return of +6.0% and a 100.00% win rate, suggesting a consistent ability to identify value positions. However, the underlying business shows mixed signals: net income of $2,758,000 is healthy, but annual revenue growth contracted by -1.2%, indicating a shrinking top line. This director's purchase during a period of declining revenues warrants investor attention to determine whether he is positioned ahead of a business inflection or ahead of further deterioration.

Significance 7

Director White Scott purchased 11,725 shares at $3.84; stock rallied +33.0% in 90 days, consistent with his 4-of-4 prior well-timed buys at NWPP.

Director White Blaine Scott purchased 11,725 shares at $3.84 on 2026-02-13, extending his NWPP position to 1,113,205 shares. The stock has moved +33.0% over 90 days and is trading at $4.19, near its 52-week high. His same-ticker history at NWPP shows 4 of 4 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with his previous buy on 2025-11-06 returning +14.0% over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record across 20 prior open-market buys demonstrates an 88.24% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of +5.5%. While the company's fundamentals remain modest—annual revenue growth of -1.2% and a low P/E of 9.98—the consistent alignment of his buy activity with subsequent upside suggests pattern recognition in his entry timing at this name.

Significance 7

Director Cox bought 3,095 shares of NWPP at $3.20; 5 of 5 prior buys at this ticker well-timed at 90-day mark; cluster buy pattern.

Cox purchased 3,095 shares at $3.20 on 2025-11-26, bringing his holdings to 751,753 shares. This represents his sixth buy transaction at NEW PEOPLES BANKSHARES INC in 2025. His prior five trades at this ticker were all well-timed on a 90-day basis (returns of +6.9%, +5.9%, +2.3%, +4.8%, and +4.8% respectively), with a 100% win rate at the 90-day mark. Notably, two other insiders purchased shares within the past 14 days, forming a coordinated cluster buy pattern. The timing pattern and consistent positive outcomes on his NWPP trades, combined with this multi-insider cluster activity, suggest directional conviction at current levels.

Significance 6

Director KEENE HAROLD L purchased 57,060 shares of NWPP at $3.65, raising holdings 543.4% to 67,560 shares; part of a 5-trade accumulation pattern in 6 months.

KEENE HAROLD L has acquired shares in NEW PEOPLES BANKSHARES INC on five separate occasions within a six-month window, with this $208.3K purchase representing the largest single acquisition and bringing his post-transaction position to 67.6K shares from just 10.5K shares prior. The repeated buy pattern across November and December 2025, combined with his cross-ticker track record showing a 78.57% 90-day win rate on 18 prior buys, suggests consistent accumulation activity. At NWPP specifically, his prior measurable trade (2025-06-12) achieved a 90d return of +5.8%, and the 2025-11-06 purchase already shows a 30d return of +12.4%. However, the stock's 30-day appreciation of +22.5% and current price of $3.86 already reflect a +5.8% gain from his transaction price of $3.65, and the company's -1.2% annual revenue growth combined with a modest P/E of 9.19 on $1.0M quarterly revenue provides limited fundamental tailwind. The concentration of five buys in six months and the substantial 543.4% increase in his holdings merit attention to understand whether this reflects conviction in a turnaround or opportunistic accumulation at depressed levels.
