WAFD CEO Beardall purchases 3,000 shares for $50.6K, doubling stake to 6.0K shares; second open-market buy in one week
President & CEO Brent J Beardall executed a second open-market purchase of WAFD shares within seven days—buying 3,000 shares at $16.85 on 2025-12-03 following a prior buy on 2025-11-26. This consecutive buying activity doubled his position from 3,000 to 6,000 shares. The current stock price of $32.14 is 9.0% above the 30-day average and 0.6% above the 90-day average, placing the purchase within a stable to modestly appreciating price environment. Beardall's cross-ticker track record shows only 1 prior open-market buy across all holdings, making this second WAFD acquisition within days a notable departure from his historical activity pattern, though outcomes of recent same-ticker trades are not yet measurable at the 90-day horizon.
