Director Shelley F Appel bought 2,880 shares over 2 days for $108,747.81; holdings surge 612.8%. Stock off 40.5% from 52-week high. 12-insider cluster buying pattern detected.
Appel executed 4 separate purchases totaling 2,880 (2.9K shares) for $108,747.81 with a blended average price of $37.76 on November 5–6, 2025, increasing her holdings from 470 to 3,350 shares (a 612.8% increase). The current price of $37.94 sits 40.5% below the 52-week high of $63.77 and has declined 14.3% over 30 days and 18.5% over 90 days. Her prior trade at this ticker on 2025-04-30 delivered a 90-day return of +33.2% (well-timed). Critically, 12 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days—a significant cluster pattern that suggests coordinated conviction at current valuations. The company carries a strong P/E of 6.03 with positive fundamentals (revenue $939.0M, net income $176.4M, 24.9% annual growth). The timing of concentrated purchases during a steep drawdown, paired with broad insider concurrence, warrants investor attention to the buying thesis.
Director Shelley F Appel bought 4,485 shares at blended average $39.72; cluster of 11 other insiders also bought within 14 days.
Director Shelley F Appel executed 4 separate purchases totaling 4,485 shares for $178,149.20 across four trading days (2025-10-30 through 2025-11-03), raising her stake by 7.3% to 65,521 shares. The blended average price of $39.72 sits near current price ($39.26) and within the 52-week range, though the stock is down 38.4% from its 52-week high and 12.8% in the past 30 days. Of particular note: Appel's 5 prior purchases at MTDR show a mixed record, with 3 of 5 achieving positive 90-day returns. Simultaneously, 11 other insiders purchased shares within the same 14-day window, forming a cluster buy pattern. The company trades at a P/E of 6.24, has grown revenue 24.9% year-over-year to $939.0M, and posted net income of $176.4M in the latest quarter, suggesting underlying business strength despite recent price weakness.
Director Appel buys 300 MTDR shares at $39.30; stock down 20.8% (30d), but cluster of 7 other insiders buying within 14 days suggests coordinated confidence signal.
Appel Shelley F (Director) purchased 300 shares of Matador Resources Co at $39.30 on 2025-04-30, increasing holdings to 58,741 shares. The transaction occurs against a backdrop of significant short-term weakness: the stock is down 20.8% over 30 days and 30.2% over 90 days, trading at $40.49—down 38.8% from its 52-week high of $66.15. However, this buy coincides with a cluster of 7 other insiders purchasing shares within the past 14 days, a pattern that historically has preceded reversals in insider behavior studies. At the fundamentals level, MTDR trades at a P/E of 5.44 with strong recent performance: net income of $240.1M and annual revenue growth of 24.9%. Appel's same-ticker history shows mixed recent results—three 2025 purchases showing losses (ranging 2.9% to 12.8% over 30 days)—but his two prior measurable 90-day outcomes at MTDR (both in September 2024) posted gains of 10.4% and 14.1%, with a 100% timing win rate. The multi-buyer cluster pattern warrants monitoring to assess whether insider conviction is genuinely aligned with fundamental strength or if the recent price decline is triggering reactive accumulation.
Director Appel Shelley F purchases 400 shares at blended average $44.94; cluster buy signal with 13 other insiders in past 14 days; prior MTDR buys showed 90d win rate of 100%.
Appel Shelley F, Director at Matador Resources, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 400 shares for $17,976.00 at prices of $45.88 on 2025-03-04 and $44.00 on 2025-03-05. The timing coincides with a sharp price decline: the stock is currently 34.8% below its 52-week high of $70.15 and down 20.5% over the past 30 days. Critically, a cluster pattern is evident: 13 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated board-level or management conviction during the drawdown. At the same-ticker level, Appel's prior 4 trades at MTDR all showed positive 90-day returns (ranging from +2.9% to +14.1%), establishing a 100% win rate in timing entries at this stock. The company's fundamentals remain solid with $899.8M in latest-quarter revenue, $248.3M net income, annual revenue growth of +24.9%, and a P/E of 5.94. The combination of insider cluster buying, a historically accurate insider's pattern at this specific ticker, and attractive valuation metrics following the drawdown deserves close monitoring.
Director Appel buys 300 MTDR shares at $54.45; part of 7-insider cluster in past 14 days. Stock down 14.2% in 30 days, but insider has 100% 90-day win rate across 4 prior MTDR buys.
Appel Shelley F, a director at Matador Resources, purchased 300 shares at $54.45 on 2025-02-21 while the stock has declined 14.2% over the past 30 days from prior levels and currently trades 25.2% below its 52-week high of $70.15. This purchase occurred as part of a cluster of 7 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated confidence at current price levels. Notably, Appel's prior 4 open-market buys at MTDR (2024-09-10, 2024-09-09, 2023-12-13, 2023-12-06) each posted positive 90-day returns ranging from +2.9% to +14.1%, with a 100% win rate at the 90-day mark, indicating a consistent pattern of well-timed entry points at this specific ticker. Against the backdrop of strong fundamentals—annual revenue growth of +24.9%, a P/E of 6.81, and net income of $248.3M on revenue of $899.8M—this accumulation warrants close monitoring of whether the current 30-day decline represents capitulation or a temporary pullback before resumption of the prior pattern.
Director Appel buys 500 shares at $49.83 avg across 2 transactions; 7 other insiders bought in past 14 days (cluster pattern).
Shelley F Appel, Director, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 500 shares for $24,916.00 at a blended average price of $49.83, increasing holdings from 57.2K to 57.7K shares (+0.9%). The current stock price of $49.49 trades 29.4% below the 52-week high of $70.15 and down 11.7% over 30 days. Notably, 7 other insiders at Matador Resources also purchased shares within the past 14 days, forming a cluster buy pattern. Appel's prior trades at this ticker (December 2023) both achieved positive 90-day returns of +4.4% and +2.9%, and her cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% win rate over 90 days with an average return of +19.0%, though the small sample (2 prior buys) limits statistical confidence. The P/E of 6.56, market cap of $6.2B, and net income of $228.8M on revenue of $847.1M establish a profitable, dividend-yielding profile, though the -8.2% annual revenue decline warrants attention.
