Director Meister buys 351,273 shares across 6 trades for $13.8M (avg $39.19) as stock falls 76.2% from 52-week high
Director Keith A. Meister executed 6 separate open-market purchases totaling 351,273 shares for $13,765,344.69 over three days (May 13–15, 2026), raising his holdings from 4,433,297 to 4,784,570 shares. The purchases occurred as the stock was in sharp decline, trading at $40.75 currently, which is -76.2% from the 52-week high of $170.87, and down -39.6% over the prior 30 days and -54.8% over 90 days. Across his 5 prior trades at WGS, Meister's timing outcomes were mixed: only 2 of 5 prior buys yielded positive 90-day returns. The company is unprofitable with net income of $-63,316,000.00 against revenue of $102,254,000.00 (latest quarter), though it shows annual revenue growth of +40.0%. The scale and timing of this multi-transaction purchase in a volatile, unprofitable biotech context warrant attention to underlying company conditions and Meister's conviction in the recovery thesis.
