Bochnowski Benjamin J

CEO Bochnowski purchases 6 FNWD shares at $36.50; cluster buy pattern with 2 other insiders in past 14 days.

Bochnowski Benjamin J (President, CEO) purchased 6 shares at $36.50 on 2026-03-31, bringing holdings to 1,862 shares. The transaction is modest in scale—a net change of +0.3% vs pre-transaction holdings—but occurs within a broader cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. At the individual level, Bochnowski's prior trades at FNWD show mixed timing: 4 of 5 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with 90d returns ranging from -7.5% to +9.5%. His cross-ticker track record is below neutral (17 prior buys, avg 90d return -1.2%, 90d win rate 52.94%), suggesting his buy decisions do not consistently precede near-term gains. The current price ($35.80) is -10.3% from the 52-week high and -2.8% over 30 days, placing the purchase 1.9% above current levels. The absence of FLAG language indicates this is an open-market, discretionary transaction, but the small share count and modest position increase limit the signal strength.

FNWD CEO Bochnowski bought 6 shares at $35.56; post-trade holdings 30,686 shares. +6 share acquisition; stock up 6.9% in 30 days.

Bochnowski Benjamin J, President and CEO of Finward Bancorp, purchased 6 shares at $35.56 on 2025-12-30 for a total value of $222.00, increasing holdings from 30,679 to 30,686 shares (+0.0% vs pre-transaction holdings). The purchase occurred when FNWD was trading 6.9% above its 30-day average and 6.4% below its 52-week high of $39.93. His prior five purchases at FNWD show a timing pattern where 4 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with 90-day returns ranging from -7.5% to +9.5%, though this latest acquisition of 6 shares represents a negligible position change. The transaction itself is de minimis in volume and dollar magnitude, warranting routine cataloging rather than substantive conviction analysis.

CEO Benjamin Bochnowski bought 360 shares at $29.54 avg; stock down 6.4% in 30 days; 4 of 4 prior same-ticker buys were well-timed at 90d

Benjamin Bochnowski, President and CEO, made 2 separate purchases totaling 360 shares for $10,635.00 at an average price of $29.54, increasing his holdings from 29,629 to 29,989 shares. The current price of $28.36 is -12.5% from the 52-week high and down 6.4% over the past 30 days, suggesting the market has recently weakened. Notably, his prior 5 trades at Finward Bancorp show a strong timing pattern: all 4 measurable same-ticker buys achieved positive 90-day returns, with outcomes ranging from +0.0% to +15.2%, indicating the CEO has historically purchased before stock recoveries at this ticker. His cross-ticker track record shows more modest results (46.15% win rate), but his consistent success in timing purchases at FNWD specifically warrants attention to whether this latest accumulation signals similar forward-looking conviction about the company's near-term direction.

CEO Benjamin J Bochnowski buys 7 shares of FNWD at $30.52; cluster activity detected (2 other insiders bought in past 14 days).

Benjamin J Bochnowski, President and CEO of Finward Bancorp, purchased 7 shares at $30.52 on 2025-05-12, increasing his holdings to 1,842 shares from 1,835 shares (a +0.4% net change). At the current price of $30.20, the stock has declined 6.8% from its 52-week high of $32.40 but has risen 2.9% over the past 30 days and 14.5% over the past 90 days. Notably, a cluster pattern is present: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. His same-ticker purchase history at FNWD shows mixed results—recent March 2025 purchases posted small gains in the 30-day window, while a February 2025 buy returned +15.2% at 90 days, though a December 2024 buy returned -13.7% at 90 days. With a P/E of 8.53 and modest net income of $606.0K against a $130.6M market cap, the fundamental profile is relatively tight.

CEO Benjamin J Bochnowski buys 1,739 shares in 3 tranches (2025-03-07 to 2025-03-12) at $28.39 blended avg, joining 4-insider cluster.

Benjamin J Bochnowski, President and CEO of Finward Bancorp, executed 3 separate purchases totaling 1,739 shares for $49,370.54, raising his holdings from 27,890 to 29,629 shares (+6.2%). The trades spanned a tight window (March 7–12, 2025) at an average price of $28.39, slightly below the current price of $29.31 and near the 52-week midpoint. A cluster pattern is evident: 4 other insiders also bought within the same 14-day period, suggesting coordinated confidence at current valuations. However, the CEO's personal track record presents a caution: across his open-market history, his 10 prior buys averaged -9.0% returns over 30 days and -6.6% over 90 days, with only a 22.22% win rate at the 90-day mark. At Finward specifically, his prior buy on 2024-12-05 was followed by -13.7% decline at 90 days, and on 2024-10-31 by -14.9%. These historical patterns suggest insiders at this company have not demonstrated reliable timing precision on buys, warranting investor scrutiny of the fundamental context rather than treating the cluster as a standalone bullish signal.

CEO Bochnowski buys 37 FNWD shares at $26.65; stock down 17.8% from 52-week high; 2 other insiders bought within 14 days

Bochnowski, FNWD's President and CEO, purchased 37 shares at $26.65 on 2024-02-14, a modest addition to his 28.8K-share position. The timing follows a 17.8% decline from the 52-week high of $32.40, and occurs alongside purchases by 2 other insiders within the past 14 days, forming a cluster pattern. At this ticker specifically, Bochnowski's prior trade at FNWD on 2024-09-11 was well-timed at the 90-day mark (returning +11.2%), while his 2024-10-31 buy was poorly timed (-14.9% at 90 days). His cross-ticker track record shows 9 prior buys with a 28.57% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of -5.4%, indicating modest predictive power. The company's valuation remains modest at a P/E of 9.94 and $115.0M market cap, though this buy is small in absolute terms relative to his holdings.

FNWD CEO Bochnowski bought 8 shares at $27.02; stock down 18.5% from 52-week high and -6.2% in 30 days.

Bochnowski purchased 8 shares on 2024-02-03 at $27.02, adding a modest 0.4% to his existing 1,827-share position. The current price of $26.42 reflects a significant 18.5% decline from the 52-week high of $32.40 and a 30-day decline of 6.2%, placing the purchase below recent highs but within his 52-week range. His cross-ticker track record across 9 prior buys shows an average 90-day return of -5.3% and a 28.57% win rate, indicating patterns of untimely entry. At this specific ticker, his prior four measurable trades achieved only 1 well-timed outcome at the 90-day mark, with mixed near-term results ranging from -10.9% to +14.8% over 30 days. The company trades at a P/E of 9.86 on $606,000 net income and a $114.0M market cap. The small share count and depressed price action suggest limited liquidity or material headwinds, warranting attention to the company's operational trajectory.

CEO Benjamin J. Bochnowski bought 200 shares of FNWD at $26.75; stock now $27.00 (-16.7% from 52-week high).

Bochnowski's purchase of 200 shares represents a small addition to his 28,644-share position (0.7% increase). At the transaction price of $26.75, the stock was near its current level of $27.00 but significantly depressed against its 52-week high of $32.40 (-16.7%). His prior trades at FNWD show mixed timing outcomes: 2 of 4 prior buys proved well-timed at the 90-day mark, but his cross-ticker track record across 9 open-market buys shows an average 90-day return of -5.8% with only a 25.00% win rate. The recent 30-day (-4.7%) and 90-day (-16.7%) declines suggest continued price weakness since this purchase, consistent with his broader pattern of unfavorable short-to-medium term timing.

CEO Bochnowski buys 233 FNWD shares at $31.01; stock now $30.90. Modest accumulation amid mixed track record.

Benjamin J Bochnowski, President and CEO of Finward Bancorp, purchased 233 shares at $31.01 on 2024-12-05, increasing his holdings to 28,644 shares (+0.8% vs pre-transaction holdings). This is the fifth open-market purchase at FNWD over the past 10 months, following buys on 2024-10-31, 2024-09-11, 2024-02-14, 2024-02-05, and 2024-02-03. Of those prior same-ticker trades, only 1 of 3 measurable outcomes showed a positive 90-day return, indicating limited historical success in timing at this ticker. Across his broader cross-ticker track record, Bochnowski's 8 prior open-market buys averaged a -10.2% 30-day return and -7.1% 90-day return with a 16.67% win rate, suggesting this trading pattern has not historically added value. The current price of $30.90 is 4.6% below the 52-week high of $32.40, and the stock has gained 11.7% over 90 days; however, these moves do not materially clarify the strategic intent of this small incremental purchase.

CEO Benjamin Bochnowski buys 6 shares of FNWD at $31.28; cluster pattern with 3 other insiders buying within 14 days.

Bochnowski, the President and CEO, purchased 6 shares at $31.28 on 2024-10-31, bringing his holdings to 1,827 shares post-transaction. The transaction is modest in absolute size ($218.47), but it occurs within a broader cluster pattern: 3 other insiders bought within the past 14 days. At the same-ticker level, Bochnowski has a mixed track record at FNWD—5 prior trades show only 1 of 4 measurable buy outcomes were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with returns ranging from -18.5% to +14.8%. His cross-ticker track record across 7 prior buys shows an average 90-day return of -7.1% with a 16.67% win rate. The current price of $31.88 is only -1.6% from the 52-week high of $32.40, and the stock is up +15.5% over 90 days, suggesting recent momentum. The presence of concurrent insider buying by multiple executives warrants attention, though the modest share count and the insider's inconsistent timing history at this ticker limit the signal strength.
