Director Amster Howard purchases 11,500 PFX shares at $42.56; stock down 22.7% from 52-week high; holdings up 4.9%

Amster Howard, a director of PhenixFIN Corp, purchased 11,500 shares at $42.56 on 2026-03-03, increasing his holdings to 248,248 shares. The purchase occurs while the stock trades at $42.05, down 22.7% from its 52-week high of $54.38. Across his prior purchases at this ticker, his track record is mixed: of 5 prior PFX transactions, only 2 have been well-timed on a 90-day basis, with returns ranging from -4.2% to +3.9%. The company is currently unprofitable, reporting net income of $-4,770,176.00, which contextualizes the stock's discount to its recent highs. This buy adds to his cumulative position but does not definitively signal conviction given the company's negative earnings and his mixed timing history at this ticker.

Director Amster Howard bought 639 shares at blended avg $49.31 (3 transactions on 2025-06-17, $31.5K total)

Amster Howard, a PhenixFIN director, executed 3 separate purchases totaling 639 shares for $31,506.17 at a blended average price of $49.31. His prior buy history at PFX shows a 100% well-timed record: all 4 prior trades at this ticker delivered positive 90-day returns (ranging from +1.9% to +11.4%), establishing a consistent pattern of buying before upward price movement. The current price of $49.77 is only $0.46 above the transaction blended average, and sits -8.5% from the 52-week high of $54.38, positioning this purchase near recent lows. However, the company reports negative net income of $-896,133.00, and while the low P/E of 5.45 may reflect depressed valuation, the absence of recent profitability warrants scrutiny of the fundamental backdrop supporting repeated insider buying at this ticker.
