Charles Ray Iv Wesley, a director, purchased 15,000 shares of Hallador Energy at $16.69, increasing his holdings by 4.6% to 338,469 shares.

Against this backdrop, the current stock price of $17.67 sits -28.5% from the 52-week high of $24.70, suggesting a materially lower entry point than recent extremes.

Director Wesley Charles Ray IV bought 20,000 shares of HNRG at $17.83 on 2025-12-17; 4 of 4 prior buys at this ticker were well-timed at 90d mark.

Wesley Charles Ray IV, a Director, purchased 20,000 shares at $17.83, increasing his holdings by 8.1% to 267.9K shares. His prior trade history at HNRG shows a strong timing pattern: the four preceding purchases (2024-08-16, 2024-09-06, 2025-04-07, 2025-08-19) each generated positive 90-day returns of 10.8%, 77.4%, 45.6%, and 25.5% respectively, with all four well-timed. His cross-ticker track record across all open-market activity shows 7 prior buys averaging 90-day returns of +70.2% with a 100.00% win rate. However, this context is tempered by current fundamentals: the company posted full-year net income negative, annual revenue declined 36.3%, and the stock has fallen 19.0% from its 52-week high and 7.4% over the past 30 days. The repeat buying pattern at favorable entry points aligns with the director's demonstrated historical execution, but deteriorating annual profitability and persistent near-term weakness present material headwinds.

Significance 7/10

Director Wesley Charles Ray IV buys 13,000 shares of HNRG at $19.28; prior 5 trades at this ticker were all well-timed at 90-day mark.

Director Wesley Charles Ray IV purchased 13,000 shares at $19.28, expanding his stake to 247,914 shares (+5.5% from prior holdings of 234,914 shares). This transaction is notable because across his five prior open-market purchases at HNRG, all five trades delivered positive 90-day returns (range +32.6% to +132.1%), with a timing pattern of 100% well-timed buys. His cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +70.2% across 6 prior buys with a 100% win rate. However, the current fundamental backdrop presents a significant caveat: HALLADOR ENERGY reported annual revenue growth of -36.3% year-over-year and was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, despite reporting $23.9M net income in the latest quarter. At $19.21 current price, the stock is -19.3% from its 52-week high but +18.6% over 90 days, trading in a range of $8.60–$23.81. The director's consistent execution timing at this ticker contrasts sharply with deteriorating annual fundamentals, creating a tension between historical insider transaction timing and near-term revenue and profitability headwinds that warrants investor scrutiny.

Significance 7/10

Director Wesley Charles Ray IV buys 20,000 HNRG shares at $15.27; stock down 29.2% from 52-week high amid -36.3% annual revenue decline.

Director Wesley Charles Ray IV purchased 20,000 shares at $15.27, increasing his stake to 234,914 shares and representing a 9.3% increase in holdings. His prior trades at HNRG show a strong 5-of-5 well-timed pattern at the 90-day horizon, with returns ranging from +43.8% to +132.1%, which context makes this purchase noteworthy. However, the company faces material headwinds: annual revenue declined 36.3% year-over-year, it was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, and the stock has fallen 29.2% from its 52-week high. The buy occurs at a significant discount to the trading range peak, though the stock is also down 22.5% over the prior 90 days, creating tension between the insider's positive historical timing and the company's deteriorating fundamentals.

Significance 7/10

Director Wesley Charles Ray IV purchases 10,000 HNRG shares at $10.40; 4 of 4 prior same-ticker buys showed 90-day gains up to 132.1%.

Wesley Charles Ray IV, a director at Hallador Energy, purchased 10,000 shares at $10.40 on 2025-04-07, increasing his holdings by 4.9% to 214,914 shares. His prior trading history at this ticker is notably successful: all four previous open-market buys at HNRG generated positive 90-day returns, ranging from +43.8% to +132.1%, establishing a consistent pattern of well-timed entry points. His cross-ticker track record further reinforces this: a 100.00% 90-day win rate across 4 prior buys with an average 90-day return of +83.2%. The stock has risen 51.2% over the past 30 days and trades at $13.00 today, 25% above the transaction price. However, the company's fundamentals present mixed signals: revenue declined 36.3% year-over-year, full-year net income was negative, and Q1 revenue sits at $105.0M with only $1.6M in net income. The combination of an insider with a strong historical record of timing accuracy continuing to accumulate shares—despite revenue headwinds and negative annual profitability—suggests confidence in a turnaround narrative that may not yet be visible in current financial results.

Significance 7/10

Director Wesley Charles Ray IV buys 25,000 shares of HNRG at $5.97; builds to 184.3K shares as stock trades -58.8% from 52-week high.

Director Wesley Charles Ray IV purchased 25,000 shares at $5.97 on 2024-09-06, expanding his holdings by 15.7% to 184.3K shares. The transaction occurs with HNRG trading at $6.44 currently, down 58.8% from its 52-week high of $15.62, though up 12.2% over the prior 30 days. Ray's same-ticker history shows 2 prior buys at HNRG (March 21 and 22, 2024) that both delivered positive 90-day returns (+43.8% and +47.9%), suggesting a pattern of well-timed accumulation at this stock. However, the company posted a net loss of $-10.2M in its latest quarter despite 75.3% revenue growth year-over-year, signaling operational headwinds despite top-line strength. The purchase at a substantial discount to the 52-week peak, combined with Ray's prior success timing HNRG accumulations, merits attention—but the negative earnings and depressed valuation require careful monitoring of whether the recovery trajectory that justified the prior purchases is still valid.

Significance 6/10

Director Wesley Charles Ray IV buys 5,000 HNRG shares at $5.76; stock down 31.0% in 30 days but insider's prior HNRG buys returned +47.9% and +43.8% at 90 days.

Director Wesley Charles Ray IV purchased 5,000 shares at $5.76 on 2024-08-16, bringing his total holdings to 159,302 shares. The stock has declined 31.0% over the prior 30 days and trades 61.8% below its 52-week high of $15.62, presenting a significantly depressed entry point. Notably, the insider's prior two purchases at HNRG (both in March 2024) both showed strong subsequent performance: the March 22 buy returned +47.9% at 90 days and the March 21 buy returned +43.8%, establishing a pattern of successful 90-day timing at this specific ticker. However, the current 30-day price action is negative, and near-term returns remain uncertain given the ongoing downtrend and the company's recent net loss of $10,204,000 against quarterly revenue of $90,914,000. The significance of this transaction rests on the strength of the insider's demonstrated track record at this ticker and the magnitude of recent price deterioration, which may reflect either temporary weakness or fundamental deterioration.
