Victor Lynn Barrett, as Director, purchased 3,000 shares at $43.78, increasing his total holdings to 151,724 shares. The acquisition represents a 2.0% increase in his position. The current stock price of $44.31 trades only 0.9% from the 52-week high of $43.90, and the stock has appreciated 7.5% over the past 30 days and 16.3% over 90 days, indicating recent upward momentum. With a P/E of 14.34 and market cap of $757,633,338.63, SMBK demonstrates moderate valuation metrics that merit tracking alongside director-level share purchases.

Director Cathy G Ackermann purchases 3,000 shares of SMBK at $42.12; holdings rise to 19,831 shares (+17.8%)

Director Cathy G Ackermann purchased 3,000 shares at $42.12 on 2026-06-04, increasing her shareholding by 17.8% to 19,831 shares. The purchase was executed near the stock's 52-week high of $43.90, with the current price at $41.62 representing a -5.2% decline from that peak. The company trades at a P/E of 13.47 with a market cap of $711.6M and net income of $13.7M, suggesting a reasonably valued position. This open-market purchase by a director constitutes a material stake increase and warrants monitoring to determine whether the accumulation reflects board-level conviction in current valuations or portfolio management.

Director Kelli D. Shomaker purchases $11,977 in SMBK shares, adding to modest holdings amid modest price recovery.

Director Kelli D. Shomaker executed a small open-market purchase of 290 shares, increasing her position by roughly 16%. While the transaction size is modest, the timing is noteworthy: the stock has recovered solidly from recent lows and is now trading near its 52-week highs, a period when most insider buying clusters occur. SmartFinancial is a profitable company with healthy earnings and trades at a reasonable valuation multiple, so the director appears confident in the fundamental strength of the business at current levels. However, without additional context about Shomaker's prior trading history or knowledge of concurrent selling by other insiders, this single, small purchase is best interpreted as modest personal conviction rather than a definitive signal of major upside. The buy is meaningful enough to note, but not unusual in isolation.

SMBK Chairman Wesley Miller buys 835 shares at $43.13; stock at $42.04, up 11.4% in 30 days, with 3 of 4 prior SMBK buys well-timed at 90 days.

Welborn Wesley Miller, Chairman of SmartFinancial, purchased 835 shares at $43.13, increasing his holdings to 96,468 shares (+0.9%). The stock has appreciated 11.4% over the past 30 days and 17.1% over 90 days, trading at $42.04 currently (near its 52-week high of $42.99). Notably, at SMBK specifically, 3 of 4 prior Miller purchases were well-timed at the 90-day horizon, with gains of +29.9%, +17.0%, and +2.7%, suggesting a historical pattern of entry decisions that preceded price strength at this ticker. However, the most recent SMBK buy on 2025-02-03 occurred during a period that subsequently delivered -5.2% and -11.2% returns at 30 and 90 days, indicating variability in outcomes even for this insider.

Director Kelli D Shomaker buys 255 SMBK shares at $39.38; holdings rise to 1,022 shares (+33.2%)

Director Kelli D Shomaker purchased 255 shares at $39.38, increasing her holdings by 33.2% from 767 to 1,022 shares. The transaction occurred near the upper end of the 52-week range ($27.11–$41.41), where the stock currently trades 5.6% below its 52-week high. The company has a P/E of 16.57 with net income of $13.7M and a market cap of $665.8M, providing a stable backdrop. The purchase represents meaningful accumulation by a director and adds an open-market buy signal, though execution at near-peak pricing warrants attention given the magnitude of position increase.

Chairman Welborn Wesley Miller buys 1,162 shares of SMBK at $34.75; prior trades at ticker show 3-for-3 well-timed purchases.

Welborn Wesley Miller, Chairman of the Board, purchased 1,162 shares at $34.75 on 2025-02-03, increasing his stake from 95,776 to 96,938 shares. His three prior purchases at SMBK all demonstrated well-timed execution: the most recent buy on 2024-02-07 captured a +2.7% 90-day gain despite a near-term -2.4% dip, while his May 2023 purchases yielded +29.9% and +17.0% over 90 days respectively. Across his broader open-market history spanning multiple tickers, he has completed 3 prior buys with a 100.00% 90-day win rate and +16.6% average 90-day return. The current price of $35.38 sits -4.0% from the 52-week high of $36.86, yet the stock is up +13.2% over the past 30 days—creating a mixed momentum signal. The chair's accumulation pattern and historical execution timing merit attention as a data point in assessing near-term price direction.
