Director Cornog buys 10,000 AZTA shares at $16.38; stock down 57.7% from 52-week high, company unprofitable with -9.5% revenue growth

Director William L Cornog purchased 10,000 shares of Azenta at $16.38 on 2026-05-18, increasing his holdings from 9.7K to 19.7K shares (+103.1%). The purchase occurs amid significant headwinds: the stock has fallen 57.7% from its 52-week high of $41.73, declined 29.5% over the past 30 days, and the company posted a net loss of $-160.8M against quarterly revenue of $144.8M with annual revenue declining 9.5% year-over-year. Cornog's prior buy at AZTA in November 2024 was followed by a 90-day return of +14.7%, demonstrating a historical instance of profitable timing at this ticker. His cross-ticker buy history shows an average 90-day return of +9.1% across 6 prior trades.

Significance 5/10

Director Cornog buys 5.0K BV shares at $13.46; second buy in 2 months amid 24.91 P/E and -$15.2M net loss.

Director William L. Cornog purchased 5,000 shares of BrightView Holdings at $13.46 on 2026-02-06, bringing his holdings to 5,000 shares. This is his second buy in the past two months—following a purchase at $13.46 on 2025-12-02—suggesting continued interest in the stock at current price levels. At his cross-ticker track record level, Cornog has achieved a 100.00% 90d win rate across 5 prior buys with an average 90d return of +16.4%, but his BrightView-specific history is more mixed: of 4 prior trades at BV, only 1 showed a well-timed 90d outcome (+18.2% on the 2025-02-21 buy), while his most recent prior buy on 2025-12-02 has returned -1.3% over 30 days. BrightView's fundamentals remain strained: the company reported net income of -$15.2M on revenue of $614.7M, trades at a P/E of 24.91, and faces annual revenue decline of -3.4%, suggesting Cornog's repeated purchases may reflect either conviction at current valuations or simply continued participation within a portfolio position regardless of operational trends.

Significance 6/10

Director Cornog buys 10,000 BV shares at $12.84; stake grows 50% to 30,000 shares

Director William L Cornog purchased 10,000 shares of BrightView Holdings at $12.84, doubling his stake from 20,000 to 30,000 shares (+50.0% increase in holdings). The purchase occurs with the stock trading -28.6% from its 52-week high of $17.89, and notably, Cornog's cross-ticker track record shows 4 prior open-market buys with a 100.00% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of +16.4%. At BrightView specifically, his prior February 2025 purchase delivered a +18.2% 90-day return, suggesting selectivity in timing at this ticker. However, the company faces near-term headwinds: annual revenue declined -3.4% year-over-year, and the stock has fallen -11.4% over the past 90 days, trading at a P/E of 27.78 against $32.3M net income on $708.3M revenue. The insider's substantial share accumulation into this near-52-week-low price point, combined with his demonstrated historical accuracy on 90-day outcomes, represents a material conviction signal, though the negative revenue trajectory and elevated valuation multiple warrant scrutiny on fundamental stabilization.

Significance 6/10

Director Cornog doubles BV stake to 20,000 shares at $13.50 as stock is -28.3% from 52-week high

William L Cornog, a director of BrightView Holdings, purchased 10,000 shares at $13.50 on 2025-02-21, doubling his holdings from 10,000 to 20,000 shares for a total value of $134,950.00. His prior two purchases at BV in 2023 both achieved positive 90-day returns (+17.7% and +17.5%), indicating a pattern of well-timed entries at this ticker. The current stock price of $13.43 sits -28.3% below the 52-week high of $18.73 and -15.3% over the past 30 days, providing a lower entry point than his 2023 purchases. However, the company's fundamentals show net income of -$10,400,000.00 against revenue of $599,200,000.00, with annual revenue declining -1.7% year-over-year, which tempers conviction signals that might otherwise accompany a director's purchase.

Significance 7/10

Director Cornog buys 12,500 AZTA shares at $39.60 ($495.0K); holdings surge 554.3%; cluster of 3 other insider buys in 14 days.

Director William L Cornog purchased 12,500 shares at $39.60, expanding his holdings from 2,255 to 14,755 shares—a 554.3% increase that represents a material accumulation by this insider. The transaction occurs as the stock trades 39.4% below its 52-week high of $67.51, and notably three other insiders bought within the past 14 days, establishing a cluster acquisition pattern. The company is currently unprofitable (net income of $-6.6M in the latest quarter) despite 19.7% annual revenue growth, placing this buy against mixed fundamentals. Cornog's cross-ticker track record shows 100% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of +17.6%, though this historical success across multiple tickers provides limited predictive weight for outcomes at this specific security.
