Director Gary W Glessner purchased 3,527 shares of UBCP at $14.93 on 2026-05-27; stock now $15.60, up 4.7% in 90 days.

Gary W Glessner, a director, purchased 3,527 shares of UNITED BANCORP INC /OH/ at $14.93, increasing his holdings to 108,002 shares. The stock has since appreciated to $15.60 (a 4.7% gain over 90 days), aligning with his prior track record at this ticker where 2 of 3 measurable prior buys showed positive 90-day returns. However, the current price remains -10.0% below the 52-week high of $17.34, and the 30-day return of -4.4% reflects recent weakness. The company's valuation shows a P/E of 11.56 with a market cap of $90.2M, suggesting a small-cap profile. While the insider's prior purchases at UBCP have generally been followed by near-term gains, this single transaction on its own provides limited signal without evidence of broader insider accumulation activity or material company developments.

Director Schunn purchased 1,175 shares of UBCP at $14.93; holdings rise to 20,457 shares

Bethany E Schunn, a director, purchased 1,175 shares at $14.93 on 2026-05-28, bringing total holdings to 20,457 shares and representing a 6.1% increase from her prior 19,282 shares. At the current price of $15.60, the stock trades 10.0% below its 52-week high of $17.34. Her prior trades at UBCP show mixed near-term outcomes: her 2025-05-22 buy yielded 30d +4.6% and 90d +4.2%, while her 2024-06-21 buy showed 30d +2.8% followed by 90d -0.2%. Across all tickers, she has executed 3 prior open-market buys with an average 90d return of +2.0% and a 50% win rate at the 90-day mark, suggesting her purchase timing has historically been inconsistent.

Director Jonathan Chase Clark buys 1,511 shares of UBCP at $14.93; 7 other insiders bought within 14 days.

Jonathan Chase Clark (Director) purchased 1,511 shares at $14.93, increasing his holdings by 2.8% to 55,638 shares post-transaction. This purchase occurred during a cluster pattern: 7 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or reinforcing sentiment among company leadership. The current price of $15.60 reflects a -10.0% discount from the 52-week high of $17.34, while the company's P/E of 11.56 and net income of $1,911,000.00 provide a baseline for valuation context. The multi-insider buying activity within a compressed timeframe warrants monitoring of whether broader capital deployment or operational developments are driving concurrent insider acquisition.

Randall M Greenwood, SR VP CFO and Treasurer, purchased 1,034 shares at $14.93 on 2026-05-27, bringing his holdings to 85,214 shares. The transaction coincides with a cluster pattern: 5 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, indicating coordinated accumulation activity at the company level. At his prior UBCP buy on 2025-05-22, the stock posted a 30d return of +4.6% and 90d return of +4.2%, suggesting some insider timing accuracy at this ticker. The stock currently trades at $15.60, -10.0% from its 52-week high, and down 4.4% over 30 days, placing this purchase in a context of recent weakness despite modest longer-term gains (+4.7% over 90 days).

SVP COO Branstetter bought 339 shares of UBCP at $13.62; cluster of 6 other insiders also bought within 14 days

Matthew Fredrick Branstetter, SVP COO, purchased 339 shares at $13.62, bringing his total holdings to 48,084 shares. The transaction is modest in size (+0.7% vs pre-transaction holdings) and dollar value ($4,617.18), but occurs as part of a broader cluster pattern: 6 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. Across his cross-ticker track record, Branstetter's prior buys have shown mixed timing outcomes, with a 0% 90-day win rate and an average 90-day return of -0.2%, suggesting his prior purchases have not consistently preceded price appreciation. At UBCP specifically, his June 2024 buy also failed to deliver positive 90-day returns (-0.2%). The current stock price of $13.61 sits 7.4% below the 52-week high, providing some valuation context, but the cluster activity pattern merits monitoring.

Significance 6

Director Gary W Glessner bought 3,497 shares of UBCP at $13.62; 6 other insiders bought within 14 days (cluster pattern)

Glessner purchased 3,497 shares for $47,629.14 on 2025-05-22, expanding his holdings by 3.6% to 100,529 shares. The stock has rallied 6.7% over the past 30 days and trades at a 7.4% discount to its 52-week high of $14.70. This transaction forms part of a cluster pattern: 6 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, indicating synchronized purchasing across the insider group at UBCP. While Glessner's cross-ticker track record shows mixed results (50% win rate over 90 days), his prior transactions at UBCP have been modestly accretive, with one 2024 purchase delivering a +4.3% return within 30 days. The company's P/E of 10.80 and modest net income of $1.9M on revenue of $721.0K (latest quarter) suggest a value-oriented valuation. The cluster activity and recent price appreciation warrant closer examination of catalysts or events triggering coordinated insider purchases.

UBCP CEO Everson buys 2,197 shares at $13.62; cluster of 6 other insider buys in 14 days signals coordinated accumulation

CEO Scott A Everson purchased 2,197 shares at $13.62 on 2025-05-22, increasing his holdings to 140,807 shares from 138,610 shares. This transaction is noteworthy not in isolation—a 1.6% increase in post-transaction holdings—but in context: 6 other insiders also bought UBCP within the past 14 days, forming a cluster acquisition pattern. Everson's cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -0.2% and a 0.00% win rate, and his same-ticker history at UBCP shows 1 prior buy (2024-06-21) that returned +2.8% in 30 days but -0.2% over 90 days. The company's P/E of 10.80 and market cap of $78.9M place it in a small-cap segment. The coordinated buying signal across multiple executives warrants attention to whether this reflects internal assessment or operational developments not yet evident in public filings.

Director Brian M Hendershot bought 2,207 shares of UBCP at $13.62; 6 other insiders bought within 14 days.

Director Hendershot purchased 2,207 shares at $13.62 on 2025-05-22, expanding his holdings from 28,997 to 31,204 shares (+7.6%). This transaction occurs within a cluster pattern: 6 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or coincidental accumulation. At the current price of $13.61, the position has moved minimally since the purchase, though the stock is -7.4% from its 52-week high and +6.7% over the past 30 days. Hendershot's cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior buys averaging -0.2% over 90 days, with 0 of 1 prior buys at the 90-day mark proving well-timed; however, his prior trade at UBCP on 2024-06-21 delivered +2.8% in 30 days before declining to -0.2% at 90 days. The cluster buy pattern warrants attention, though it does not constitute high conviction based on the insider's historical execution record.
