PEBO PEOPLES BANCORP INC Insider Trading

Director Smith buys 1,000 PEBO shares at $34.51; stock now at $34.92, near 52-week high; prior PEBO buys 4 of 5 well-timed at 90d mark.

Smith Dwight Eric, a Director, purchased 1,000 shares at $34.51 on 2026-04-27, increasing his holdings to 9,256 shares (+12.1% vs pre-transaction holdings of 8,256 shares). The purchase occurs as PEBO trades at $34.92, at the 52-week high after a +9.0% 30-day and +11.0% 90-day advance. Notably, Smith's prior five PEBO trades show a strong timing pattern: 4 of 5 prior buys achieved positive 90-day returns, suggesting consistent ability to identify favorable entry points at this specific ticker. His cross-ticker track record includes 16 prior buys with an 81.25% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of +13.3%, though his same-ticker PEBO buys show more modest median performance (averaging around +7.1% at 90 days across the five prior trades, with 4 of 5 profitable). This latest acquisition near the 52-week high, executed by a repeat buyer with demonstrated prior success at PEBO, merits tracking for whether this entry precedes further appreciation or marks a local peak.

Director Smith buys 500 PEBO shares at $32.62; stock down 7.0% from 52-week high, valued at 10.98 P/E.

Smith Dwight Eric, a director, purchased 500 shares at $32.62 on 2026-01-22, increasing his holdings by 6.5% from 7,699 to 8,199 shares. This represents a continuation of activity at PEOPLES BANCORP: he has made 5 prior purchases at this ticker, with mixed near-term results (ranging from -4.6% to +9.5% over 30 days) but 2 of 4 measurable 90-day outcomes showing positive returns. The current price is $31.40, placing the stock 7.0% below its 52-week high and within the 52-week range of $26.85–$33.78. Fundamentals show a P/E of 10.98 and quarterly net income of $29.5M against revenue of $21.5M, with annual revenue growth of 6.6%. The transaction occurred after recent 30-day appreciation of 2.4%, suggesting a purchase near a local momentum inflection rather than at depressed valuations.

Director S. Craig Craig buys 157 PEBO shares at $31.65; previous buy at this ticker returned +9.2% over 90 days.

S. Craig, a director at Peoples Bancorp, purchased 157 shares at $31.65 on 2026-01-23, increasing holdings to 26,665 shares (+0.6% from pre-transaction). This marks the second open-market purchase by this director at PEBO; the prior buy on 2023-04-27 delivered a +9.2% return over the subsequent 90 days, establishing a pattern of well-timed entry points at this ticker. The stock has appreciated 2.4% over the trailing 30 days and 4.3% over 90 days, currently trading at $31.40 and within 7.0% of its 52-week high. Fundamentals remain intact with net income of $29.5M and revenue growth of +6.6% year-over-year, though the modest purchase size ($5.0K) relative to total holdings (~$843K at current prices) suggests maintenance of existing conviction rather than a major position build.

Director Smith Dwight Eric bought 200 PEBO shares at $28.56; holds 7,699 shares; stock down 16.9% from 52-week high.

Smith Dwight Eric, Director of PEOPLES BANCORP INC, purchased 200 shares at $28.56 on 2025-11-21, adding to a position of 7,499 shares. The transaction is modest in absolute terms at $5,712.00 total value and represents a 2.7% increase in his holdings. The stock is currently trading at $29.94, down 16.9% from its 52-week high of $36.02 and off 0.6% over the last 30 days, suggesting neither momentum nor acute distress. His same-ticker history at PEBO shows mixed outcomes: 2 of his prior 4 measured buy transactions were well-timed at the 90-day mark, while his cross-ticker track record exhibits a 75.00% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of 13.9%. The fundamental picture is stable—PEOPLES BANCORP reported $21.5M in latest quarterly revenue, $29.5M in net income, and trades at a P/E of 10.47. The transaction does not indicate acute conviction or concern, but rather incremental accumulation by a longstanding shareholder in a modestly valued financial institution.

Director Kevin R Reeves bought 1,250 shares of PEBO at $29.10; 2 other insiders bought within 14 days.

Director Kevin R Reeves purchased 1,250 shares at $29.10 on 2025-11-11, increasing his holdings from 11,804 to 13,054 shares. A cluster pattern is evident: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated insider accumulation. However, Reeves' own cross-ticker track record shows limited predictive value: his 1 prior buy averaged -5.9% over 30 days and -3.4% over 90 days, with a 0.00% win rate at the 90-day mark. At PEBO specifically, his prior buy on 2025-05-16 also underperformed, posting -5.9% and -3.4% returns respectively. The current stock price of $29.53 remains -18.0% below the 52-week high of $36.02, and fundamentals appear solid (P/E of 10.33, annual revenue growth of +6.6%, net income of $29.5M), but the convergence of multiple insider buyers may warrant tracking whether this represents genuine conviction or a cyclical rebalancing pattern masked by timing coincidence.

Director Hogan W Glenn purchases 1,000 shares of PEBO at $28.49, bringing holdings to 535.2K shares.

Hogan W Glenn, a director at Peoples Bancorp, purchased 1,000 shares at $28.49 on 2025-11-07, a modest addition to an already substantial holding of 535.2K shares. The transaction represents a +0.2% increase in his position at a price currently $0.48 below the prevailing market price of $28.97. The stock is trading 19.6% below its 52-week high of $36.02 and has declined 2.3% over the past 90 days, despite a recent 30-day gain of 1.2%. This represents the director's second purchase at this ticker within eight days (a prior buy on 2025-10-30), suggesting sequential acquisitive interest. The underlying business shows solid fundamentals with a P/E of 10.13, latest quarterly net income of $29.5M, and annual revenue growth of 6.6%, though the timing of the purchase relative to broader market context and his ability to execute well-timed trades remains unclear given his prior buy at this ticker is not yet measurable.

CEO Tyler Wilcox bought 160 shares of PEBO at $28.39; cluster pattern with 2 other insiders buying within 14 days.

Wilcox Tyler J purchased 160 shares at $28.39, raising his holdings to 49,099 shares, which represents a modest 0.3% increase to his existing position. The stock is currently trading 19.9% below its 52-week high of $36.02 and down 4.7% over the past 30 days, though it has gained 2.2% over 90 days. Notably, this transaction occurs as part of a cluster pattern, with 2 other insiders also buying PEBO within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated board-level activity during a period of share price weakness. The company shows solid fundamentals with P/E of 10.09 and annual revenue growth of 6.6%, though the significance of this modest purchase by the CEO is tempered by his cross-ticker track record showing a 0% win rate on prior buys at the 90-day mark and his single prior buy at this ticker generating a -1.3% 90-day return.

Director Hogan W Glenn bought 1,000 shares of PEBO at $28.82; cluster pattern with 2 other insiders buying within 14 days

Hogan W Glenn purchased 1,000 shares at $28.82 on 2025-10-30, increasing his holdings from 533,239 to 534,239 shares. The purchase occurred while the stock trades at $28.41, down 21.1% from its 52-week high of $36.02, and is accompanied by a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. This synchronized buying activity by multiple insiders suggests a coordinated positive view of the company's value at current levels, though the transaction represents only a 0.2% increase in Glenn's existing holdings. The company's fundamentals show solid profitability with $29.5M net income on $21.5M quarterly revenue and 6.6% annual revenue growth, supporting a reasonable valuation at a P/E of 9.93.

Director Smith Dwight Eric bought 500 PEBO shares at $29.76 on 2025-10-23; stock now $30.11, -16.4% from 52-week high.

Director Smith Dwight Eric purchased 500 shares at $29.76, increasing his holdings by 7.1% to 7,499 shares. The stock is currently trading at $30.11, modestly above the transaction price, and sits -16.4% from its 52-week high of $36.02. Across his same-ticker history at PEBO, 3 of 5 prior buys showed well-timed 90-day outcomes, suggesting selective entry discipline; this current purchase occurs after a -0.7% 30-day decline and +2.4% 90-day gain, placing it in a near-term lull within a longer-term recovery. PEBO's fundamentals remain solid with a 10.31 P/E, +6.6% annual revenue growth, and quarterly net income of $21,212,000.00 aligned with quarterly revenue of $21,268,000.00, indicating operational health.

Director Frances Skinner buys 200 PEBO shares at $28.74; 2 other insiders also bought within 14 days (cluster pattern)

Frances Skinner purchased 200 shares of Peoples Bancorp at $28.74 on 2025-07-31, increasing her holdings to 6,711 shares (+3.1% vs pre-transaction). This transaction is part of a cluster buy pattern, with 2 other insiders also purchasing within the past 14 days. At the same ticker, Skinner executed 2 additional buys on 2025-07-29 (outcomes not yet measurable) and has prior buys at PEBO on 2025-04-30 and 2025-04-28 which showed positive 90-day returns of +2.2% and +2.4%, with both trades ultimately well-timed at the 90-day mark. The company shows solid fundamentals with annual revenue growth of +6.6% and a P/E of 9.64, though the stock has declined 21.8% from its 52-week high and is down 11.6% over 30 days. The multi-insider buying activity on a valuation discount warrants attention, though near-term price weakness and limited measurable outcomes from the most recent transactions prevent a higher significance rating.
