Director Biagas buys 1,925 shares of FRST at $12.80; prior 5 trades at this ticker all underwater at 90 days (0 of 4 well-timed).

Director John Fitzgerald Biagas purchased 1,925 shares at $12.80 on 2026-03-12, raising his holdings to 91,944 shares. His prior same-ticker history at FRST shows a concerning pattern: all 4 prior measurable buys resulted in negative 90-day returns, ranging from -0.8% to -18.5%, and 0 of 4 were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The current stock price of $12.78 is 10.7% below the 52-week high of $14.31 and down 9.0% over the past 30 days. Additionally, company fundamentals are weak—the company reported negative net income over its most recent full fiscal year despite a current P/E of 36.51, suggesting the market is pricing in optimistic future earnings. The persistent pattern of poor timing outcomes across his FRST purchases, combined with deteriorating price action and negative full-year profitability, suggests caution rather than confidence.
