WSR Whitestone REIT Insider Trading

Director Miller Donald A purchased 5,000 shares of Whitestone REIT at $12.35, expanding holdings 29.9% to 21,708 shares

Miller Donald A, a director, acquired 5,000 shares of Whitestone REIT at $12.35 on 2025-05-28, increasing his position by 29.9% from 16,708 to 21,708 shares. This is his third disclosed purchase at this ticker in May 2025 (prior trades on 2025-05-02), and historically he has completed 3 prior open-market buys across all tickers. The stock is currently trading at $12.32, down 19.0% from its 52-week high of $15.22 and down 5.5% over the past 30 days, suggesting the insider purchased amid price weakness. The company carries a P/E of 20.20 on $38.0M quarterly revenue and $3.7M net income, with a $627.0M market cap. Without measurable 90-day outcomes on his prior same-ticker transactions, the significance of this transaction is moderate—driven by the material expansion of his stake and the repeated buying pattern at a discounted valuation level.

Director Miller buys 15,000 WSR shares across 3 transactions for $192,050.00, expanding holdings 878.2%

Director Donald A Miller executed 3 separate purchases totaling 15,000 shares for $192,050.00 on 2025-05-02, expanding his holdings from 1,708 shares to 16,708 shares—a net increase of 878.2%. The purchases occurred at prices ranging from $12.70 to $12.87, with a blended average price of $12.80, while the current price stands at $12.58, placing the stock -17.4% below its 52-week high and -6.9% below its 30-day average. The substantial expansion of a director's personal position in a $640.3M market-cap REIT warrants investor attention, particularly given the company's modest fundamentals: trailing P/E of 20.62, latest-quarter net income of $3.7M, and recent annual revenue growth of 5.0%. The absence of prior flagging context means this appears to reflect a discretionary accumulation decision by a board member.

Director Kristian M Gathright buys 1,750 shares of Whitestone REIT at $14.36, doubling holdings to 3,503 shares

Gathright purchased 1,750 shares for $25,130.00, expanding his position by +99.8% from 1,753 to 3,503 shares. The transaction occurred at $14.36 per share, below the current price of $14.31 and within the 52-week range of $10.81–$15.22. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with a 90-day win rate of 100.00% and average 90-day return of +1.8%, though this single prior transaction provides limited predictive power for this specific purchase at WSR. The company's fundamentals show recent quarterly revenue of $38.6M, net income of $7.6M, and P/E of 18.83, suggesting a modestly valued REIT in a stable growth phase (annual revenue growth +5.0%).

Director Feng Amy Shih-Hua purchases 875 shares at $14.32 blended avg; stock up 7.1% in 30 days

Director Feng Amy Shih-Hua executed 2 separate purchases totaling 875 shares for $12,528.13, bringing her holdings to 54,225 shares (+1.6% increase). The purchases occurred on the open market at prices near the current level ($14.34), following a 7.1% rally over the past 30 days and within 5.8% of the 52-week high of $15.22. Her prior trades at WSR show mixed outcomes: 2 of 3 prior buys had positive 90-day returns (with a 21.7% gain on the 2023-05-05 purchase and 2.7% on the 2024-06-03 purchase), while the most recent June 2024 buy yielded -0.8% over 90 days. The current purchase arrives after the stock has already recovered significantly from its 52-week low of $10.81, at a point where momentum is positive but the stock is approaching its annual ceiling. Investors should monitor whether this incremental position accumulation reflects conviction after recent gains, or simply continues a pattern of regular director participation in WSR equity.

Director Buthman Julia Bruns purchased 5,000 WSR shares at $12.99; holdings increased 161.7% to 8,093 shares post-transaction.

Director Buthman Julia Bruns acquired 5,000 shares of Whitestone REIT at $12.99 on 2024-09-04, substantially increasing her holdings from 3,093 shares to 8,093 shares—a 161.7% increase in her position. The purchase occurred when the stock was trading at $13.10, only 8.5% below its 52-week high of $14.31, and represents a material discretionary commitment of $65.0K. The company's P/E ratio of 40.94 indicates a relatively elevated valuation multiple, though the REIT demonstrates modest positive fundamentals with annual revenue growth of 5.4% and a market cap of $655.9M. This substantial increase in director holdings merits attention as it reflects a meaningful expansion of personal stake in the company at current market levels.
