CEO Wolff Benjamin G bought 1,000 shares of PDYN at $5.85; stock down 57.6% from 52-week high, now at $5.38.

Wolff Benjamin G (PRESIDENT & CEO) purchased 1,000 shares at $5.85 on 2026-03-27, a modest addition to his 2,837,401-share position. The timing aligns with a sharp recent decline: the stock is -57.6% from its 52-week high of $12.68 and -23.5% over the past 30 days, though it has recovered +26.0% over 90 days. His same-ticker trading history at PDYN shows a strong pattern: all 5 prior buys posted positive 90-day returns (ranging from +18.1% to +67.4%), consistent with well-timed entry points. However, the company's fundamentals are deteriorating: annual revenue declined -32.6% year-over-year, with the latest quarter reporting only $860.0K in revenue against a $-3.7M net loss. This purchase occurs during a period of significant operational strain, making it notable that the CEO is adding to his holdings despite the financial headwinds and steep recent price decline.

PDYN CEO Wolff purchases 3,000 shares at $5.29 on 2025-11-20; prior 3 buys at ticker all posted 90d gains; stock now 60.2% below 52-week high.

Benjamin G Wolff (PRESIDENT & CEO) purchased 3,000 shares of Palladyne AI Corp. at $5.29 on 2025-11-20, increasing his holdings from 2,833,401 to 2,836,401 shares. The timing is notable: across his 5 prior trades at PDYN, all 3 measurable transactions posted positive 90-day returns ranging from +4.5% to +67.4%, and his cross-ticker track record shows a 75.00% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of +33.6%. The current backdrop is stark—PDYN stock is down 35.8% in the last 30 days and 60.2% from its 52-week high of $13.31, while the company remains unprofitable with net income of $-3.7M against quarterly revenue of $860.0K. This buy into a depressed stock price by an executive with a demonstrated pattern of well-timed prior purchases at the same ticker deserves attention, though the company's sustained losses and recent sharp decline are material headwinds.

Significance 6/10

PDYN CEO Wolff buys 8,000 shares at $5.40; stock down -60.6% from 52-week high, CEO holds 2,833,401 shares post-transaction.

Benjamin G. Wolff (President & CEO) purchased 8,000 shares of Palladyne AI Corp. at $5.40 on 2025-11-19, increasing his holdings to 2,833,401 shares. The stock has declined significantly, trading at $5.24 currently, down -60.6% from its 52-week high of $13.31 and -39.4% over the past 30 days. Wolff's prior purchases at PDYN in March 2025 (three distinct trades) demonstrated strong 90-day timing, with outcomes of +51.5%, +67.4%, and +61.6% gains, establishing a pattern of well-timed entry points at this ticker. However, the company remains unprofitable with a net loss of $-3.7M in the latest quarter despite revenue growth of +26.7% year-over-year, creating a tension between the operational turnaround narrative and near-term earnings reality. The CEO's continued accumulation during a period of sharp price decline and elevated volatility warrants observation of whether this pattern of well-timed purchases at PDYN repeats.

$38,396
Significance 7/10

CEO Benjamin Wolff bought 7,000 PDYN shares at $5.49; all 5 prior same-ticker buys showed positive 90d returns (best +297.3%)

Benjamin G Wolff, President & CEO, purchased 7,000 shares at $5.49 on 2025-11-18, expanding holdings to 2,825,401 shares. His timing pattern at Palladyne is striking: all 5 prior open-market purchases at this ticker demonstrated positive 90-day returns, ranging from +28.7% to +297.3%. The current price of $5.63 is -57.7% from the 52-week high and down -36.1% over the past 30 days, suggesting the stock is trading near depressed levels relative to recent history. Despite the company's unprofitable state ($-3.7M net income in the latest full year) and modest quarterly revenue of $860.0K, the CEO's consistent pattern of accumulation at Palladyne—and the historically positive outcomes that followed each prior buy—indicates sustained conviction in the company's direction over a multi-quarter window.

Significance 7/10

PDYN CEO Wolff buys 1,775 shares at $5.82 on 2025-03-31; 3rd buy in 3 weeks amid 52-week decline of -56.4%

Wolff Benjamin G, the President & CEO, purchased 1,775 shares at $5.82 on 2025-03-31, extending a pattern of three separate open-market purchases within three weeks (prior buys on 2025-03-28 and 2025-03-11). The timing occurs within a severe drawdown: the stock is -56.4% from its 52-week high of $13.31 and down -8.9% over 30 days. Critically, Wolff's prior trades at PDYN show strong execution: his 2024-10-31 buy returned +297.3% at the 90-day mark, and his 2024-06-21 buy returned +26.7% at 90 days—both were well-timed. His cross-ticker open-market track record also shows 16 prior buys with a 66.67% 90-day win rate and an average 90-day return of +27.4%, indicating a demonstrated ability to identify entry points. However, the company's fundamentals present a material constraint: it reported $-7.1M net income against $871.0K quarterly revenue (unprofitable over the full year), and the stock has fallen -52.6% over 90 days, eroding confidence in the tactical timing thesis despite the CEO's strong historical record.

PDYN CEO Wolff bought 2,500 shares at $5.66 on 2025-03-28; stock down -55.8% from 52-week high, company unprofitable with -$7.1M net income.

Benjamin Wolff, President & CEO of Palladyne AI, purchased 2,500 shares at $5.66, bringing his holdings to 1,316,626 shares—a modest 0.2% increase. The purchase occurs against deteriorating price momentum: the stock has declined 7.8% over 30 days and 52.1% over 90 days, trading 55.8% below its 52-week high of $13.31. At the same-ticker level, Wolff's two prior completed trades at PDYN both posted strong 90-day returns (+297.3% and +26.7%), suggesting prior timing acuity specific to this security. However, the company's most recent quarter reported only $871,000 in revenue against a $-7.1M net loss, and it remained unprofitable over its full fiscal year, presenting material cash-burn concerns despite 26.7% annual revenue growth. The convergence of sustained price deterioration, unprofitable operations, and the CEO's discretionary purchase in this context warrants assessment of whether this reflects contrarian conviction or whether deteriorating fundamentals demand closer scrutiny of the company's path to profitability.

Significance 6/10

CEO Wolff buys 2,923 shares of Palladyne AI at $5.90; stock down -37.1% in 30 days but up +85.9% over 90 days following his prior PDYN buys.

Wolff Benjamin G purchased 2,923 shares at $5.90 on 2025-03-11, adding to a large existing position of 1.31M shares. The transaction occurs in the context of a volatile stock that has declined -51.5% from its 52-week high of $13.31 and -37.1% over the past 30 days, yet is up +85.9% over the past 90 days. Critically, Wolff's prior same-ticker trades at PDYN demonstrate strong 90-day timing: his 2024-10-31 buy returned +297.3% by the 90-day mark, his 2024-06-21 buy returned +26.7%, and his 2024-06-17 buy returned +13.1%—three of four measurable prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day horizon. His cross-ticker track record shows 14 prior open-market buys with a 66.67% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of +27.4%. The company is unprofitable with latest-quarter revenue of $871.0K and a full-year net loss of $-7.1M, though annual revenue growth is +26.7%, indicating the CEO is buying into a loss-making business during recent weakness despite prior buys having generated substantial returns.

Significance 6/10

CEO Wolff Benjamin G buys 5,000 shares of PDYN at $6.40; stock down 35.6% in 30 days, reversing 57.0% gain in 90 days

Benjamin G Wolff, President & CEO, purchased 5,000 shares at $6.40, adding to holdings of 1.31M shares. His prior trades at PDYN show mixed timing: the most recent prior buy on 2024-10-31 posted exceptional 90-day returns of +297.3%, but three of the five earlier purchases showed divergent outcomes, with one posting negative 90-day performance of -14.8%. The current stock price of $6.39 reflects sharp recent decline—down 35.6% over 30 days—despite being up 57.0% over the prior 90 days, suggesting elevated volatility. Fundamentals reveal structural challenges: the company generated only $871.0K in quarterly revenue, posted a $-7.1M net loss most recently, and remains unprofitable on a full-year basis despite 26.7% annual revenue growth. This buy occurs in a context of depressed 52-week positioning (currently 52.0% below the $13.31 high) and conflicting short-term price dynamics.

PDYN CEO Wolff buys 107.5K shares at $2.20; stock down 29.1% from 52-week high, now at $1.95; prior PDYN buys showed 60%+ win rate.

Wolff Benjamin G, President & CEO of Palladyne AI, purchased 107,526 shares at $2.20 on 2024-10-31, establishing his first position in the company (prior holdings: 0 shares). The current price of $1.95 reflects a decline of 29.1% from the 52-week high of $2.75, positioning this buy near the lower end of the annual range. Notably, his prior trades at PDYN demonstrate a pattern of accurate timing: 3 of 5 prior buys at this ticker showed positive 90-day returns (ranging from +1.1% to +26.7%), with 2 producing notably strong short-term gains (+34.0% and +30.2% in 30-day windows). Against this backdrop, the company is unprofitable (net income of $-5,323,000 on $2,713,000 quarterly revenue) and has contracted 57.8% year-over-year in annual revenue, raising questions about the fundamental drivers of the 3 well-timed prior positions and whether this purchase reflects conviction on a turnaround or opportunistic accumulation at depressed valuations.

PDYN CEO Wolff Benjamin G buys 2,000 shares at $1.50 on 2024-06-21; company unprofitable with -57.8% annual revenue decline

Wolff Benjamin G (PRESIDENT & CEO) purchased 2,000 shares at $1.50, adding to holdings of 1.31M shares. The purchase came amid significant fundamental deterioration: quarterly revenue of $3.4M has declined sharply (-57.8% annually), and the company reported a net loss of $-7.2M with no profitability over the most recent full fiscal year. This represents the insider's fourth buy at PDYN within a nine-day window (2024-06-04 through 2024-06-21), suggesting sustained engagement despite operational headwinds. Notably, his only measurable prior trade at this ticker (buy on 2024-05-22) posted a -18.4% 30-day return, and across his cross-ticker track record of 11 prior buys the average 30-day return was +21.4%, indicating his historical buy timing has not transferred to this specific company.
