USEG US ENERGY CORP Insider Trading

CEO Ryan Lewis buys 15,000 USEG shares at $0.87; stock down 60.2% from 52-week high of $2.21.

Ryan Lewis, CEO of US ENERGY CORP, purchased 15,000 shares at $0.87 on 2026-03-31, bringing his holdings to 1,118,769 shares. The purchase occurs against a backdrop of severe deterioration: the company reported quarterly revenue of $1,738,000.00 and a net loss of $-3,341,000.00, with annual revenue declining 64.3% year-over-year and a negative full-year net income. The stock has fallen 60.2% from its 52-week high of $2.21 and is down 23.5% over the past 30 days. Reviewing Lewis's prior transaction history at this ticker, his 5 prior buys at USEG show mixed results: only 1 of 5 achieved a positive 90-day return, with an average 90-day return across those trades of -8.0%, suggesting a pattern of trades that have not worked favorably over the medium term. The timing and scale of this purchase warrant investor attention in light of the company's deteriorating financial position and the insider's own trading record at this security.

CEO Smith Ryan Lewis bought 4,000 shares at $1.14 on 2025-09-12 amid -69.4% drawdown from 52-week high; prior same-ticker buys show mixed timing (50% 90d win rate)

Smith Ryan Lewis, CEO of US ENERGY CORP, purchased 4,000 shares at $1.14 on 2025-09-12, adding 0.3% to his 1.18M-share position. The purchase occurred at a price -69.4% below the 52-week high of $3.79, and the current price of $1.16 suggests minimal price movement post-transaction. His prior same-ticker purchase history shows mixed signals: of 4 measurable prior buys at USEG, 2 generated positive 90-day returns (+0.8% and +9.2%) while 2 were followed by 90-day declines (-8.5% and -9.9%), reflecting a 50% timing success rate at this ticker. Broader cross-ticker data indicates his 20 prior open-market buys across all holdings averaged -10.5% 30-day return and -14.7% 90-day return with only 36.84% win rate. Fundamentally, the company posted $2.0M revenue against $-6.1M net loss in the latest quarter, with annual revenue declining -36.2% year-over-year—operational stress that warrants attention to the pattern and magnitude of his purchase decisions.

USEG CEO buys 2,000 shares at $1.17; stock now -68.1% from 52-week high, down -36.2% annually amid $-6.1M net loss.

Smith Ryan Lewis, CEO of US ENERGY CORP, purchased 2,000 shares at $1.17 on 2025-08-13, increasing his holdings to 1,179,039 shares. The timing merits scrutiny: at $1.17, the stock was already significantly depressed, trading -68.1% from its 52-week high of $3.79. Fundamentally, the company reported net income of $-6,058,000.00 for its latest quarter and experienced annual revenue decline of -36.2%, indicating material operational deterioration. Notably, Lewis's cross-ticker track record shows a 35.29% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of -18.2%, though his prior trades specifically at USEG have outperformed (2 of 2 measurable 90-day buys were profitable). The current price of $1.21 is only marginally above his $1.17 entry, and the stock has declined -8.3% over the past 30 days, suggesting the market has not yet validated this purchase decision.

10% Owner Joshua Lane Batchelor sells 1,704,606 shares (80.6% of holdings) at $2.02–$2.05 avg for $3.4M

Joshua Lane Batchelor, a 10% owner of US ENERGY CORP, executed 12 separate sales totaling 1,704,606 shares for $3,440,960.14 across three trading days (June 18, 20, and 23, 2025), reducing his holdings from 2,115,799 shares to 411,193 shares—a net reduction of 80.6%. The sales occurred at a blended average price of $2.02, while the stock currently trades at $1.28 (66.2% below the 52-week high of $3.79). The company is unprofitable with net income of $-3,111,000 in the latest quarter, declining annual revenue growth of -36.2%, and a market cap of $43.5M. The scale of this divestiture—eliminating 80% of a significant stakeholder's position across multiple tranches over a concentrated three-day window—combined with the company's negative earnings trajectory and recent 27.3% price decline over 30 days, presents a substantial signal of reduced insider exposure that warrants investor scrutiny.

CEO Ryan Lewis bought 2,500 shares of USEG at $1.30 on 2025-06-03; stock now -66.2% from 52-week high at $1.28.

CEO Smith Ryan Lewis purchased 2,500 shares at $1.30 on 2025-06-03, bringing his holdings to 1,177,039 shares. This marks the fifth consecutive buy by this insider at USEG within 12 days (purchases on 2025-06-03, 2025-05-29, 2025-05-20, 2025-05-13, and 2025-05-12), during a period when the stock has traded down 14.3% over 30 days and remains 66.2% below its 52-week high of $3.79. Across his broader cross-ticker open-market history, this insider has executed 20 prior buys with a 0.00% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of -35.8%, while at USEG specifically, prior measurable outcomes show -7.9% at the 30-day mark on a prior May purchase. The company is unprofitable (net income of $-3,111,000.00 for the latest quarter, negative full-year net income, annual revenue decline of -36.2%), which provides material context for evaluating the sustainability of this position.

CEO Smith Ryan Lewis bought 2,000 shares of USEG at $1.31 on 2025-05-29; stock now $1.22, down 67.8% from 52-week high.

Smith Ryan Lewis, CEO of US ENERGY CORP, purchased 2,000 shares for $2,620.00 on 2025-05-29, bringing his holdings to 1,174,539 shares. The purchase occurs in a company facing significant operational stress: latest quarterly revenue is $2.2M against a net loss of $-3.1M, annual revenue declined 36.2%, and the company is unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. The stock has fallen 67.8% from its 52-week high of $3.79 and currently trades at $1.22, well below the $1.31 purchase price. Notably, this is the CEO's fifth purchase at USEG in recent weeks (also buying on 2025-05-20, 2025-05-13, 2025-05-12, and prior dates in March), yet his cross-ticker historical track record shows 20 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -37.1% and a 0.00% win rate, suggesting a pattern of ill-timed entries.

CEO Ryan Lewis bought 2,500 shares of USEG at $1.19 on 2025-05-20; stock down -67.0% from 52-week high

Smith Ryan Lewis purchased 2,500 shares at $1.19, adding to a holding of 1,170,039 shares. The purchase occurred at a price -67.0% from the 52-week high of $3.79, against a backdrop of poor fundamental trends: US ENERGY CORP reported a $-3.1M net loss in its latest quarter, -36.2% annual revenue decline, and remains unprofitable on a full-year basis. Across his 20 prior open-market buys across all tickers, Lewis has delivered an average 90-day return of -45.4% with a 0.00% win rate, and at USEG specifically, his 3 completed trades show 30-day returns ranging from -7.9% to -13.2%. The pattern suggests repeated purchases into deteriorating value without demonstrated timing accuracy.

CEO Ryan Lewis bought 3,000 shares at $1.09 (May 12-13), continuing pattern of 5 recent buys, all underwater; company revenue -36.2% YoY, unprofitable.

Smith Ryan Lewis, CEO of US ENERGY CORP, executed 2 purchases totaling 3,000 shares for $3,270.00 at a blended average price of $1.09 on May 12-13. This follows 5 prior buys at the same ticker within the preceding 2 months (Feb 27 through Mar 27), all of which are currently underwater: the earliest buy (Feb 27) shows -25.8% at 30 days, and the most recent entries (Mar 13–27) range from -7.9% to -16.4% at 30 days. His cross-ticker track record across 20 prior buys shows an average 90-day return of -49.2% with a 0.00% win rate. Fundamentally, the company is in distress: revenue contracted -36.2% year-over-year to $2,193,000.00 in the latest quarter, net income was -$3,111,000.00, and the stock is currently at $1.22, down -67.8% from its 52-week high of $3.79. The persistent pattern of underwater buys and deteriorating fundamentals suggests the CEO's purchases have not preceded any material recovery.

CEO Smith Ryan Lewis bought 1,000 shares at $1.28 avg (2 trades, $1.30 & $1.26) as stock down -28.0% in 30 days

CEO Smith Ryan Lewis executed 2 separate open-market purchases totaling 1,000 shares for $1,280.00 on 2025-03-26 and 2025-03-27, adding 0.1% to his 1.17M share holdings. The timing is noteworthy: the stock is trading at $1.21, down -68.1% from its 52-week high of $3.79 and down -28.0% over the preceding 30 days. However, his cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys averaging -30.4% return over 30 days, and at USEG specifically, his prior 5 trades include 2 recent purchases (2025-02-25 and 2025-02-26) that posted -26.9% and -27.5% 30-day returns respectively. The company fundamentals are deteriorating: revenue of $4,957,000.00 declined -36.2% year-over-year, and the company posted net income of $-2,247,000.00 in the latest quarter while unprofitable over its full fiscal year. This buying activity occurs against a backdrop of severe price weakness and negative fundamental momentum, with no measurable positive outcomes from the insider's prior same-ticker purchases.

CEO Ryan Lewis buys 1,000 USEG shares in 2 transactions for $1,315.00; stock down 28.6% in 30 days, company unprofitable with -36.2% revenue decline.

Smith Ryan Lewis, as CEO, made 2 separate purchases totaling 1,000 shares ($1.3K) on consecutive days at $1.34 and $1.29 per share, adding a modest 0.1% to his 1.24M-share position. The timing is notable: these buys occurred while USEG shares have fallen 28.6% over the prior 30 days and now trade 61.7% below their 52-week high of $3.79. Fundamental conditions appear challenged—the company reported negative net income of $-2.2M on quarterly revenue of $5.0M, with annual revenue contracting 36.2% year-over-year. Lewis's 5 prior purchases at USEG all occurred within the same week (Feb 21–27), suggesting a possible pattern of incremental accumulation rather than a single conviction-driven move. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with an average 30-day return of -26.4%, indicating his historical purchase timing has not consistently preceded near-term appreciation.
