Lind Robert R Buy
500 shares
$3,035
@ $6.07
Significance 6/10

Director Robert R Lind buys 500 VIRC shares at $6.07; cluster pattern with 3 other insiders in past 14 days amid -25.0% annual revenue decline.

Director Robert R Lind purchased 500 shares at $6.07, increasing his holdings from 119,390 to 119,890 shares. This purchase is part of a cluster pattern with 3 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days—a noteworthy coordinated interest at a time when the stock trades at -41.6% from its 52-week high of $10.42. The company is experiencing significant operational stress: annual revenue has declined -25.0% and the latest quarter posted a net loss of $-1.3M on $47.6M in quarterly revenue. While the multiple insider purchases at depressed price levels could indicate management sees value, the company's deteriorating fundamentals (negative earnings, significant revenue contraction) and the stock's recent weakness (down -2.9% in 30 days, -4.4% in 90 days) suggest this activity warrants examination of whether it reflects confidence in a turnaround or defense of a deteriorating position.

VIRTUE DOUGLAS A Buy
Executive Vice President
16,027 shares
$97,517
@ $6.08
Significance 4/10

EVP Douglas Virtue buys 16,027 shares at $6.07–$6.09 for $97,517.45; VIRC down 41.6% from 52-week high, cluster buy by 3 peers in 14 days.

Douglas Virtue, EVP at Virco, made 2 separate open-market purchases totaling 16,027 shares (16.0K shares) for $97,517.45 ($97.5K) on April 14–15, 2026, at an average blended price of $6.08. The current stock price of $6.09 is -41.6% from the 52-week high of $10.42 and the company is reporting negative net income of $-1.3M alongside annual revenue contraction of -25.0%, indicating deteriorating fundamentals. Virtue's prior buy at VIRC on 2025-10-17 resulted in a 90-day return of -13.2%, establishing a pattern of poor timing at this ticker; his cross-ticker track record shows 0 of 1 prior buys well-timed at the 90-day mark with an average 90d return of -13.2%. The filing also reflects a cluster pattern with 3 other insiders buying within the past 14 days, though the combination of weak fundamentals, depressed valuation relative to the 52-week high, and Virtue's prior unsuccessful timing at this ticker suggests this accumulation warrants close monitoring rather than confidence in near-term recovery.

VIRTUE ROBERT A Buy
CEO
2,700 shares
$16,794
@ $6.22
Significance 4/10

CEO Robert A Virtue buys 2,700 shares at $6.22; cluster pattern with 2 other insiders buying within 14 days as stock is down 41.8% from 52-week high.

CEO Robert A Virtue executed 2 separate purchases totaling 2,700 shares for $16,794.00 on 2026-04-14, increasing his holdings to 501,824 shares. The purchases occur as VIRC trades at $6.06, down 41.8% from its 52-week high of $10.42, and within a cluster where 2 other insiders also bought in the past 14 days. However, the fundamentals present challenges: the company reported a net loss of $-1,325,000.00 in the latest quarter, annual revenue declined 25.0% year-over-year, and the stock trades at a P/E of 37.88. Virtue's prior same-ticker buy history at VIRC shows 0 of 3 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with outcomes of -1.4%, -0.3%, and -17.9% respectively over 90 days. The cluster activity and depressed valuation may be noteworthy, but deteriorating fundamentals and the insider's poor timing history on this stock warrant scrutiny.

RICHARDSON BRADLEY C Buy
2,000 shares
$11,196
@ $5.60
Significance 4/10

Director Richardson buys 2,000 VIRC shares across 2 trades for $11,196.00; stock down -43.9% from 52-week high amid -25.0% revenue decline.

Director Bradley C Richardson purchased 2,000 shares in 2 transactions totaling $11,196.00 ($5.59–$5.63 range on 2026-04-10 and 2026-04-13), increasing his stake to 39,754 shares. The company is under significant financial pressure: annual revenue declined -25.0%, the latest quarter posted net income of $-1.3M on $47.6M revenue, and the stock is -43.9% from its 52-week high of $10.42. At the current price of $5.85, the stock has fallen -8.0% over 30 days and -7.4% over 90 days. Richardson's prior buy at this ticker on 2026-01-07 posted a -0.1% 30-day return and a -7.8% 90-day return, indicating recent open-market purchases have not preceded recoveries. The fundamentals (negative earnings, shrinking revenue, depressed P/E of 36.56) and recent price performance offer little fundamental support for the accumulation at current levels.

VIRTUE ROBERT A Buy
CEO
3,300 shares
$18,216
@ $5.52
Significance 3/10

VIRC CEO Virtue buys 3,300 shares at $5.52; stock now $5.85, down 43.9% from 52-week high, company posted $-1.3M net income loss.

CEO Robert A. Virtue purchased 3,300 shares of VIRCO MFG at $5.52 on 2026-04-10, increasing his holdings to 499.1K shares. The purchase price aligns with the 52-week low of $5.52, but the stock has declined 8.0% over the past 30 days and is trading 43.9% below the 52-week high of $10.42. Fundamentally, the company reported a net income loss of $-1.3M on quarterly revenue of $47.6M, with annual revenue down 25.0% year-over-year. Virtue's prior buys at VIRC show a poor timing record: his three previous purchases (2025-07-14, 2025-10-16, 2026-01-13) yielded 90-day returns of -17.9%, -9.3%, and -7.4% respectively, with a 0% success rate at the 90-day mark. The current transaction occurs against both deteriorating fundamentals and a pattern of underwater positions from prior insider acquisitions at this ticker.

@ $6.32
Significance 4/10

VIRC CEO Robert A Virtue bought 2,500 shares at $6.32; stock down -45.9% from 52-week high, trading near 52-week low of $6.28

VIRTUE bought 2,500 shares at $6.32 on 2026-01-13, bringing his holdings to 495,824 shares, in a company that reported net income of $-1.3M against revenue of $47.6M and has declined -45.9% from its 52-week high of $11.69. His cross-ticker track record shows 0 wins on 90-day returns (average -17.9%), and his two prior trades at VIRC both occurred at higher prices (2025-10-16 at $6.28+ and 2025-07-14), neither of which generated positive 90-day returns. The current purchase near the 52-week low of $6.28 follows a pattern of purchases at elevated levels relative to recent bottoms, and the stock's -6.1% decline over the past 30 days suggests continued downward momentum post-transaction.

RICHARDSON BRADLEY C Buy
2,000 shares
$13,009
@ $6.50
Significance 5/10

Director Richardson Bradley C bought 2,000 VIRC shares at $6.50 on 2026-01-07; stock down 44.5% from 52-week high, at $6.49 current.

Director Richardson Bradley C purchased 2,000 shares at $6.50, increasing his holdings to 37,754 shares (+5.6%). The purchase occurs when VIRC trades -44.5% from its 52-week high and -6.2% over the preceding 30 days, suggesting the insider is accumulating during a period of price weakness. The company's fundamentals show a $-1.3M net loss in the latest quarter and -1.1% annual revenue decline, indicating operational headwinds. Notably, across Richardson's cross-ticker track record, his prior buys delivered a 90d return of +75.5% and a 100% win rate, though his single prior VIRC purchase (2023-07-20) did realize +75.5% over 90 days. The current 30-day and 90-day declines (-6.2% and -4.8%) represent a divergence from that earlier positive outcome, and this purchase at depressed levels merits monitoring for whether it reflects conviction in a recovery or neutral rebalancing during a downturn.

@ $7.34
Significance 4/10

VIRC EVP Virtue buys 13,022 shares at $7.34 while stock down 56.4% from 52-week high

Executive Vice President Douglas A Virtue purchased 13,022 shares of VIRCO MFG at $7.34 on 2025-10-17, increasing his holdings to 861,839 shares. The transaction occurred while the stock trades at $7.30 (current), well below its 52-week high of $16.73 and down 56.4% from that peak. VIRC's fundamentals show recent quarterly revenue of $92.1M with net income of $10.2M, though annual revenue contracted by 1.1% year-over-year. The modest share count increase of 1.5% and the company's P/E of 8.49 provide limited directional signal on its own; the purchase at a depressed absolute price relative to the 52-week range is the only notable context, though it occurs in an environment of recent 30-day and 90-day declines.

@ $6.96
Significance 3/10

CEO Robert Virtue buys 5,000 VIRC shares at $6.96; stock down 58.2% from 52-week high of $16.73.

CEO Robert Virtue purchased 5,000 shares at $6.96, increasing holdings from 488.3K to 493.3K shares. The purchase occurs in a challenged environment: VIRC is trading at $7.00, down 58.2% from its 52-week high of $16.73, and down 13.3% over the past 30 days. Virtue's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with a 90-day return of -17.9%, and his only prior VIRC purchase (2025-07-14) also generated a -17.9% return after 90 days, resulting in a 0.00% win rate on VIRC. The company reports net income of $10.2M on $92.1M revenue, with an 8.14 P/E, suggesting profitability; however, annual revenue contracted 1.1% year-over-year. This open-market purchase adds to a modest absolute position increase, but without evidence of positive prior trade outcomes at this ticker, the trade reflects activity in a materially depressed price environment rather than a pattern of well-timed accumulation.

@ $8.15
Significance 4/10

CEO Virtue buys 2,000 shares of VIRC at $8.15; holds 488.3K shares as stock down -57.3% from 52-week high.

CEO Robert A Virtue purchased 2,000 shares at $8.15 on 2025-07-14, increasing his holdings by 0.4% to 488.3K shares. The purchase occurs in a deteriorated price environment: the stock trades at $7.79, down -57.3% from the 52-week high of $18.24 and -24.1% over the past 90 days. The company's fundamentals show modest profitability (net income $732.0K on revenue $33.8M in the latest quarter) with a 6.04 P/E and flat annual revenue growth of -1.1%. The CEO's modest buy—$16.3K total value—is small relative to his existing stake and the company's $122.6M market cap, providing limited insight into his conviction about recovery from the significant drawdown.
