Significance 6/10

Director Lynch purchases 1,450 shares for $19,207.15 at PMT; 4 of 5 prior buys at ticker had positive 90d returns.

Director Catherine A. Lynch made 2 separate purchases totaling 1,450 shares at a blended average price of $13.24 on 2026-01-23, increasing her holdings to 57,646 shares. Her prior trading history at PMT shows a strong pattern: 4 of her 5 prior trades at this ticker achieved positive 90-day returns, with the most recent buy (2025-10-24) showing 90d +4.5% and her 2025-09-22 purchase posting 90d +9.6%, indicating consistent timing discipline at this specific security. The stock currently trades at $13.53, up 8.0% over 30 days and 9.8% over 90 days, and is trading within its 52-week range at $11.65–$14.77, suggesting neither extreme valuation distress nor euphoria. With a P/E of 9.66 and market cap of $1,177,334,652.12, this is a mid-cap investment trust; however, the -22.1% annual revenue decline merits observation alongside Lynch's demonstrated buy timing success at PMT.

Significance 5/10

PMT: David Spector buys 10,000 shares at $12.40; stock -16.3% from 52-week high but +5.5% in 30 days.

SPECTOR DAVID, Chairman and CEO, purchased 10,000 shares at $12.40, increasing his holdings from 347,794 to 357,794 shares. The stock is currently $12.36, near the transaction price, and has recovered +5.5% over the past 30 days despite trading -16.3% below its 52-week high of $14.77. At the fundamentals level, PMT shows compressed metrics: annual revenue declined -22.1% year-over-year ($99.2M latest quarter), though net income remains solid at $58.3M, and the P/E of 8.83 reflects a compressed valuation typical of mortgage REITs in higher-rate environments. Across his open-market history spanning multiple tickers, Spector's 20 prior sales averaged +14.2% 90-day returns with a well-timed rate of 28.57%, suggesting his historical exit timing has been below average, though no FLAGS or prior transaction details are provided for PMT specifically. This purchase occurs within the context of significant revenue pressure and modest recent share price recovery.

@ $12.67
Significance 5/10

Director Lynch buys 1,469 shares at $12.67 at PMT; 3 of 5 prior PMT trades showed positive 90d returns.

Catherine A. Lynch, a director at PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 1,469 shares (1.5K shares) for $18,623.01 on 2025-10-24 at a blended average price of $12.67, increasing her holdings from 54,726 to 56,195 shares. The current stock price of $12.60 sits -14.7% from the 52-week high, and her purchase price of $12.67 was within the 52-week range of $11.65–$14.77. Examining her same-ticker history at PMT, three of her four completed prior buys (from April and July 2025) delivered positive 90-day returns of +5.7%, +6.0%, and +2.1%, suggesting a pattern of well-timed entry points at this security. Against this backdrop, her continued accumulation in a small-cap mortgage REIT with -22.1% annual revenue decline and a modest P/E of 10.41 suggests she sees value at current levels, though her cross-ticker track record shows a 52.63% 90-day win rate, indicating mixed precision in broader market timing.

Significance 6/10

Director Lynch purchases 2,823 shares of PMT at $12.02; extends pattern of all 5 prior same-ticker buys showing +0.5% to +6.1% 90-day returns

Catherine A. Lynch, a director of PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, purchased 2,823 shares at $12.02 on 2025-09-22, increasing her holding to 54,710 shares. This transaction continues a consistent buying pattern at PMT: across her 5 prior trades at this ticker since 2025-04-24, all were purchases, and all 3 trades with measurable 90-day outcomes delivered positive returns ranging from +0.6% to +6.1%. Lynch's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with 55.56% 90-day win rate and +3.3% average 90-day return. The stock is currently trading at $12.06, down 18.4% from its 52-week high of $14.77, and the company reported latest-quarter revenue of $70.2M and net income of $7.5M, though annual revenue growth contracted by 22.1% year-over-year. The timing of this purchase—coinciding with a depressed price relative to the 52-week range—mirrors the pattern observed in her prior four buys, where all measurable outcomes were positive at the 90-day mark.

Significance 6/10

Director Lynch buys 1,365 shares at $12.41 avg (2 transactions); holds 51.9K post-buy, +2.7% from prior

Catherine A. Lynch, a Director at PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 1,365 shares for $16,954.00 on 2025-07-25, raising her holdings to 51,887 shares (+2.7% vs pre-transaction). The blended average purchase price of $12.41 sits above the current price of $12.21 and well below the 52-week high of $14.77, reflecting a recent market decline (-4.2% over 30 days, -4.9% over 90 days). Lynch's prior trades at PMT show a pattern of 3 out of 5 buys timed favorably at the 90-day mark, suggesting some historical success in identifying entry points at this ticker, though her cross-ticker track record shows a 60.00% 90-day win rate. The stock's P/E of 8.66 and depressed trailing revenue growth of -22.1% provide context for the current valuation, but without public information about the timing drivers (earnings, dividend dates, or strategic announcements), the precise motivation for this accumulation cannot be determined solely from the filing data.

@ $12.12
Significance 5/10

Director Lynch buys 4,146 shares across 3 transactions at blended $12.12 avg; stock down 16.9% from 52-week high.

Catherine A. Lynch, a director of PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, executed 3 separate purchases totaling 4,146 shares for $50,265.95 at an average price of $12.12 between April 24–25, 2025, increasing her holdings by 8.9% to 50,522 shares. The timing context is mixed: PMT trades at $12.61 currently, down 16.9% from its 52-week high and down 13.8% over the past 30 days. Lynch's prior trading pattern at PMT shows only 1 of 5 prior buys produced positive 90-day returns; her cross-ticker track record shows a 52.63% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of +4.2%, which does not decisively characterize this current purchase. The low P/E of 8.52 and recent strong net income of $41.4M (on quarterly revenue of $80.9M) are offset by a concerning -22.1% annual revenue decline, suggesting the stock trades at a depressed multiple while facing material headwinds in the underlying business.

Significance 5/10

Director Lynch purchases 948 shares of PMT at blended $12.54; stock near 52-week lows, strong 41.2% revenue growth & P/E 6.63.

Lynch Catherine A. executed 2 separate purchases totaling 948 shares for $11,903.58 at prices of $12.52 and $12.57, expanding her holdings by 2.5% to 38,580 shares. The transactions occurred at levels significantly below the 52-week high of $15.17, reflecting a current position -15.6% from that peak. The underlying company shows strong fundamentals: annual revenue growth of +41.2%, net income of $41,407,000.00, and a low P/E of 6.63 against a market cap of $1,111,820,288.00. Across Lynch's prior 5 trades at PMT, 2 of 5 buys demonstrated positive 90-day returns, indicating a modest historical timing success rate at this ticker; her cross-ticker track record shows a 58.82% 90-day win rate on 17 prior buys with an average 90d return of +5.1%.

@ $13.81
Significance 6/10

Director Lynch buys 837 shares at $13.81 in 2 transactions, raising stake to 37.6K shares; prior buys at PMT timed well at 90-day mark.

Catherine A. Lynch, Director at PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 837 shares for $11,571.60 at a blended average price of $13.81. The current price is $13.72, and the stock is down 13.2% from its 52-week high. Lynch's prior 5 trades at PMT show a consistent pattern of well-timed accumulation: 2 of 3 measurable prior buys posted positive 90-day returns (+2.8% and +0.3% returns on separate July trades), suggesting her historical purchases have preceded price recovery. Against her cross-ticker track record (61.54% 90d win rate), this addition to her existing 36.8K-share position may reflect selective entry timing, though the near-flat 90-day price change (-0.4%) and recent 30-day decline (-3.9%) warrant attention to near-term momentum.

Significance 4/10

PMT director Doug Jones sold 37,010 shares at $14.01 for $518.6K, reducing stake by -43.0% to 49,114 shares.

Doug Jones, Director, President & CMBO of PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, sold 37,010 shares at $14.01 on 2024-09-03, representing a substantial -43.0% reduction in his holdings from 86,124 to 49,114 shares. The sale occurred within the stock's 52-week range of $10.55–$15.81, at a price -12.0% below the 52-week high. Across his cross-ticker track record, Jones's 9 prior open-market sales generated an average 90-day return of +9.0%, with a well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating that historically his sales have not been followed by stock declines; the current sale's timing relative to future price action remains to be seen. PMT shows solid financial fundamentals with net income of $25,434,000 and annual revenue growth of +41.2%, though the insider's decision to sell nearly half his remaining position warrants investor attention to his apparent revaluation of near-term ownership exposure.

@ $13.29
Significance 4/10

Director Catherine A. Lynch bought 950 shares at avg $13.29 at PMT (Aug 2024); price now down 6.3% in 30 days.

Catherine A. Lynch, a Director at PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 950 shares for $12,628.96 on 2024-08-08, raising her holdings to 36,794 shares (+2.7%). The blended average purchase price was $13.29. At the time of filing, the stock was trading at $13.45, but has since declined 6.3% over 30 days and 9.1% over 90 days, now sitting 14.9% below its 52-week high of $15.81. Her prior trades at PMT show weak timing results: two measurable transactions from April 2024 returned -4.7% and -4.0% at the 90-day mark, with neither proving well-timed. While her cross-ticker track record shows a 60% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of +10.3%, her PMT-specific history suggests limited success capturing upside at this ticker, despite the company's strong fundamentals (41.2% annual revenue growth, 6.23 P/E, $25.4M net income in the latest quarter).
