Charles Dirkson R executed 3 separate purchases totaling 44,000 shares (44.0K shares) for $2,967,830.64 ($3.0M) over March 10–12, with a blended average price of $67.45. This addition represents a +1.1% increase in his holdings (now 4,087,005 shares post-transaction). The buys occur during a period of stock weakness: the current price of $63.03 sits -36.6% from the 52-week high and -3.6% over 30 days. At LOAR specifically, Dirkson's prior 3 trades were all sells (conducted May 2025 and December 2024), each well-timed at the 90-day mark with subsequent declines ranging from -13.4% to -21.6%. His cross-ticker buy track record shows 1 prior open-market buy with a +29.4% average 90-day return (100% win rate on buys). A cluster pattern is present: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days alongside this filing. The company's fundamentals remain solid (revenue $126.8M latest quarter, annual growth +23.2%), though the elevated P/E of 52.09 and significant recent drawdown from recent highs provide the context for this discretionary purchase.
