RGR STURM RUGER & CO INC Insider Trading

CEO Todd Seyfert buys 1,500 shares at $39.15; cluster of 3 insider buys in 14 days as stock trades -18.4% from 52-week high.

Todd William Seyfert, the President & CEO, purchased 1,500 shares at $39.15 on 2026-05-20, accumulating his first recorded holding in RGR. This transaction is noteworthy because it occurs as part of a broader cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated interest at current valuation levels. The timing coincides with the stock trading -18.4% from its 52-week high of $48.21, though it remains +2.4% over the 90-day period. Investors should note that the company reported a negative full-year net income despite $141.4M in latest quarterly revenue and modest +1.9% annual growth, creating a mixed financial backdrop for the insider buying activity.

Director Pettet buys 1,000 (1.0K) RGR shares at $39.89; prior same-ticker buy on 2025-08-11 showed 90d +2.5% return.

Pettet Bruce T. purchased 1,000 shares at $39.89, increasing his holdings from 6,606 to 7,606 shares. His prior open-market buy at RGR on 2025-08-11 delivered a 90-day return of +2.5%, and his cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with a 90-day win rate of 100.00% (average 90d return +2.5%). However, context tempers the signal: RGR is currently trading 17.0% below its 52-week high of $48.21, and the company reported negative net income of $128,000.00 on revenue of $141,356,000.00, indicating unprofitability. The stock has declined 5.5% over the past 30 days, though it is up 6.8% over 90 days. This represents a modest single-ticker position addition with a modest historical precedent, rather than a concentrated or high-conviction accumulation.

Director Phillip Widman purchases 5,000 shares at $38.00; second open-market buy in 36 months as stock trades well below its 52-week high.

Phillip Widman, a director at Sturm Ruger, purchased 5,000 shares at $38.00, marking his second open-market purchase in the past three years. The stock is currently trading well below its 52-week high, having declined over the past month despite modest gains over the prior quarter. Widman's prior open-market purchase at this company, made roughly one year ago, was well-timed at the 30-day mark as the stock gained, though it turned poorly timed over the longer 90-day horizon as shares retreated. The company faces headwinds—it is currently unprofitable on an annual basis despite a slight return to positive net income in the most recent quarter and modest revenue growth. This repeat purchase in a near-term weakness window occurs as Widman continues to incrementally build his position, though the conflicting track record (strong near-term timing offset by longer-term weakness) and the company's narrow recent profitability provide mixed signals about the conviction behind the trade.

Director Pettet buys 500 RGR shares at $33.10 while company posts $-17.2M net loss

Pettet Bruce T., a director, purchased 500 shares of Sturm Ruger at $33.10 on 2025-08-11, increasing his holdings by 500 shares to 6,606 shares post-transaction. The purchase occurs against a backdrop of significant operational challenges: the company reported a net loss of $-17.2M in the latest quarter alongside annual revenue decline of -1.5%, and the stock trades at a notably elevated P/E of 96.92. The director's purchase represents a discrete insider transaction in a company facing negative earnings, which carries modest information value but is tempered by the deteriorating financial fundamentals and the stock's recent underperformance relative to its 52-week high of $42.48.

VP of Operations Lowney buys 2.2K shares at $33.37 amid 3-insider cluster buy pattern

VP of Operations Timothy Lowney purchased 2,200 shares of RGR at $33.37 on 2025-05-06, increasing his holdings by 33.0% from 6,674 to 8,874 shares. This transaction is part of a broader pattern: 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, indicating coordinated buying activity at a time when the stock trades 24.7% below its 52-week high of $46.92. The company reported quarterly revenue of $135.7M and net income of $7.8M, with annual revenue declining 1.5% year-over-year and a P/E ratio of 18.70. The cluster buy pattern during a period of recent stock weakness (down 5.9% over 30 days) warrants examination of whether multiple insiders view the current valuation as attractive relative to fundamentals.

Director John A Cosentino Jr purchased 8,000 shares of RGR at $33.11 on 2025-05-07; cluster of 3 other insider buys within 14 days

Director Cosentino purchased 8,000 shares for $264,884.80, increasing his holdings from 7,875 to 15,875 shares—a 101.6% increase in position size. The transaction occurred at $33.11, well below the current price of $35.35 and 24.7% below the 52-week high of $46.92, reflecting a period of stock weakness. Notably, three other insiders also purchased shares within the past 14 days, forming a cluster buy pattern that suggests coordinated or simultaneous conviction from multiple board/management members. This multi-insider activity at a depressed price point is the primary signal warranting attention from investors tracking insider positioning.

Director Widman Phillip bought 4,000 RGR shares at $33.58; 3 other insiders also bought within past 14 days

Director Widman Phillip purchased 4,000 shares at $33.58 on 2025-05-06, increasing his holdings by 14.4% to 31,757 shares. Notably, this purchase occurs within a cluster pattern: 3 other insiders also made purchases within the past 14 days. The transaction occurred at a price 5.0% below the current market price of $35.35, but the stock remains -24.7% from its 52-week high of $46.92. Sturm Ruger's trailing fundamentals show revenue of $135.7M and net income of $7.8M with a P/E of 18.70, though annual revenue growth is slightly negative at -1.5%. The synchronized buying activity among multiple insiders suggests internal alignment on valuation or forward outlook, warranting close monitoring of the company's near-term execution and how insider activity trends over the coming quarters.

Director Froman buys 1,000 RGR shares at $33.61; cluster pattern with 3 other insiders purchasing within 14 days

Director Sandra S Froman purchased 1,000 shares of STURM RUGER & CO INC at $33.61 on 2025-05-06, increasing her holdings from 13,498 shares to 14,498 shares. This transaction occurs as part of a cluster pattern in which 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or coincidental aligned activity at the director level. The stock is currently trading at $35.35, down 24.7% from its 52-week high of $46.92, while the company faces modest headwinds including -1.5% annual revenue growth in the latest period. The concentration of insider purchases during a period of price weakness and negative recent momentum (down 5.9% over 30 days) warrants investor attention to the underlying business drivers and whether multiple directors view current valuations as attractive.

Director O'Connor purchases 2,500 RGR shares at $39.88; holdings rise 32.8% to 10,114 shares

Director Terrence Gregory O'Connor acquired 2,500 shares of Sturm Ruger at $39.88 on 2024-11-06 for $99,700.00, expanding his holdings by 32.8% from 7,614 to 10,114 shares. The purchase occurred near the lower end of the 52-week range ($39.32–$47.61) and represents a modest accumulation by a board member. The company's fundamentals show recent headwinds: annual revenue has declined 8.7% year-over-year, with the latest quarter posting $122.3M in revenue and $4.7M in net income at a P/E of 22.46. The transaction reflects individual accumulation rather than a broader insider pattern, and without additional context on concurrent activity by other officers, represents a single director's discretionary purchase decision in a business facing near-term revenue contraction.
