10% owner STROME MARK E buys 100.0K ZIVO shares at $2.00; stock down -93.7% from 52-week high, down -85.4% in 30 days.
STROME MARK E, a 10% owner, purchased 100,000 shares at $2.00 on 2026-04-17, increasing holdings by 21.1% to 572,942 shares. The timing is concerning: the stock trades at $1.20, down -93.7% from its 52-week high of $19.01 and down -85.4% over the past 30 days. His track record at this same ticker shows poor outcomes—three prior buys at ZIVO resulted in average 90-day returns of -15.1% (2024-12-26 buy down -15.3%, 2025-10-13 buy down -24.6%), with 0 of 2 prior buys well-timed at the 90-day mark. This latest purchase into a steep and accelerating decline, following a pattern of unsuccessful accumulation at ZIVO, suggests the insider's recent capital deployment has not been rewarded. The company remains unprofitable with net income of $-1.0M, adding fundamental risk to the price deterioration.
