Broadwood Partners bought 670,213 shares in 3 tranches for $12.3M (avg $18.30) as stock down 34.1% from 52-week high.
Broadwood Partners, a director of STAAR Surgical, executed three separate purchases totaling 670,213 shares for $12,266,545.29 between March 11–13, 2026, at an average price of $18.30—well below the 52-week high of $28.57 but only 0.2% below the current price of $18.84. The company's fundamentals are distressed: annual revenue declined 23.7% year-over-year, the most recent full fiscal year was unprofitable, and the stock has fallen 21.9% over the past 90 days. Broadwood's prior trades at STAA—five buys in early January 2026—all posted negative 30-day returns (ranging from -19.9% to -21.9%), and none of the insider's broader cross-ticker buy history (20 prior buys with a 25% win rate at 90 days) demonstrated successful timing. This fresh accumulation in a deteriorating business environment, combined with a poor track record of buy timing at this specific ticker, suggests material risk rather than a conviction-driven inflection signal.
