Director Bryan David buys 1,000 shares of MPAA at $9.67; stock down 21.8% in 30 days, 42.2% from 52-week high.

Bryan David, a Director at Motorcar Parts of America, purchased 1,000 shares at $9.67 on 2026-02-12, increasing his holdings to 72,477 shares. The purchase occurs as MPAA shares trade at $10.24, down -21.8% over 30 days and -42.2% from the 52-week high of $17.73, indicating a material decline in recent months. Reviewing David's prior trade history at MPAA specifically, his 5 previous purchases show mixed near-term performance (30-day returns ranging from -12.7% to +19.0%) with 3 of 5 being well-timed at the 90-day mark, suggesting selective execution in volatile periods. Fundamentally, MPAA reported a P/E of 102.40 on minimal net income of $1.8M against $167.7M in quarterly revenue, and was unprofitable on a full-year basis—metrics that warrant attention given the steep valuation relative to earnings quality.

Director Bryan David buys 2,000 shares at $6.83 (Nov 26); price now $6.94; 5 other insiders bought in past 14 days

Bryan David purchased 2,000 shares at $6.83 on 2024-11-26, expanding his stake to 54.4K shares. The stock has rebounded 28.0% over the past 30 days and is 30-day rallying; however, it remains 31.8% below its 52-week high of $10.18. At the same ticker (MPAA), his prior buy on 2024-06-13 delivered a 10.9% 30-day return, suggesting he has identified positive near-term entry points before; however, his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -6.5% with a 50.00% win rate, indicating mixed timing success overall. A cluster of 5 other insider buys within the past 14 days suggests coordinated confidence, though the company remains unprofitable (net income $-3.0M in the latest quarter) and faces fundamental headwinds despite 5.1% annual revenue growth. The convergence of director accumulation and price momentum warrants monitoring for broader catalysts.

Director Bryan David bought 1,500 shares of MPAA at $5.85 on 2024-06-13; stock now $6.09, down -40.2% from 52-week high.

Bryan David purchased 1,500 shares at $5.85, bringing his holdings to 39,776 shares. The stock has traded volatile since the purchase: it rose 23.0% over the subsequent 30 days but declined 18.4% over 90 days, and currently trades -40.2% below its 52-week high of $10.18. His prior two buys at MPAA (in September and August 2023) were well-timed at the 90-day mark with positive returns of +12.7% and +11.7%, respectively, but his most recent buy on 2024-03-04 resulted in a -44.0% 90-day return, suggesting timing precision has deteriorated. Five other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, indicating coordinated accumulation despite the company's recent unprofitability: net income was $-47.2M on revenue of $171.9M in the latest quarter. The cluster buying pattern, combined with deteriorating fundamental performance, warrants attention to whether this represents informed conviction or distributed support at depressed levels.
