Significance 6/10

Director Matthew De Soto accumulates 1,525 shares of Mid Penn Bancorp in coordinated open-market buys near current price.

Director Matthew De Soto executed three open-market purchases totaling approximately 1,525 shares on the same day, each at prices very close to the stock's current trading level—a deliberate accumulation rather than a reactive bottom-pick. The timing matters: the stock is trading slightly below its yearly highs after a modest recent pullback, meaning De Soto is buying into modest strength, not desperation prices. Mid Penn Bancorp itself is a profitable community bank with reasonable valuation and solid earnings, providing a stable foundation for this purchase. The coordinated nature of the three same-day tranches—rather than a single lump purchase—suggests methodical conviction from someone with operational insight into the bank's condition. While the dollar amount is modest relative to his existing holdings, a director voluntarily putting cash to work in his own company when the stock isn't in distress is a behavioral signal worth noting.

Significance 5/10

Director De Soto bought 311 shares of MPB at $32.16 on 2026-03-31; stock now $32.37. Cluster buy pattern with 5 other insiders in past 14 days.

Director Matthew G De Soto purchased 311 shares of Mid Penn Bancorp on 2026-03-31 at $32.16, raising his holdings to 115,226 shares from 114,915 shares. This transaction occurs within a cluster window: 5 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or sentiment-driven accumulation. De Soto's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with 100% win rate at the 90-day mark and average 90d return +7.6%, though his same-ticker history at MPB is limited to 5 recent buys (all on 2026-03-12) with outcomes not yet measurable. The stock is trading at $32.37 (current), near the transaction price, down 1.0% over 30 days but up 4.4% over 90 days; valuation is modest at P/E 13.21 against a $750.2M market cap. The cluster activity warrants attention as a potential signal of insiders' view of value or near-term catalysts.

His prior 5 purchases at MPB show a strong 90-day timing record (4 of 4 measurable outcomes well-timed), and his broader cross-ticker track record across 20 prior buys reflects a 90d win rate of 89.47%, providing meaningful context for assessing the significance of this concentrated share accumulation.

The current transaction occurs amid a cluster pattern: 5 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, which typically signals coordinated conviction at the institutional level. At current price of $28.77, the stock trades -12.9% from its 52-week high, having declined -4.6% over 30 days and -4.8% over 90 days—representing a potential reentry point for an insider with a consistent track record of well-timed purchases at this ticker.

Significance 5/10

Director Matthew G De Soto buys 283 shares of MPB at $28.20 as part of 5-insider cluster buy pattern.

Director Matthew G De Soto purchased 283 shares of Mid Penn Bancorp at $28.20 on 2025-06-30, adding to a holding of 112,353 shares. The purchase was modest in absolute terms ($7,980.60) and represents only a 0.3% increase relative to pre-transaction holdings. Most notably, this transaction occurs within a cluster: 5 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting some coordination or shared view of valuation. His same-ticker history at MPB shows 4 prior purchases on 2025-06-05 whose outcomes are not yet measurable, plus one May 2025 buy with a modest 30-day return of +1.3%. The stock is currently trading at $29.49, down 10.7% from its 52-week high, but up 12.3% over the last 30 days and 22.8% over 90 days; context suggests he is buying into an already-rising security rather than catching a depressed valuation.

Significance 4/10

Director De Soto purchased 1,928 shares at blended avg $25.91, now up to 112,070 shares; stock down 19.6% from 52-week high.

Matthew G De Soto, a Director at Mid Penn Bancorp, executed 4 separate purchases totaling 1,928 shares for $49,962.26 on June 5, 2025, at prices ranging from $25.88 to $25.94. His total shareholding increased from 110,142 to 112,070 shares, representing a 1.8% increase. The stock currently trades at $26.53, down 8.1% over 30 days and 19.6% from its 52-week high of $33.02. De Soto has a recent pattern of buying at Mid Penn Bancorp—the same-ticker history shows 5 prior buys within the past two weeks (May 16 and May 23), all of which remain in their early windows with no measurable outcomes yet. His cross-ticker track record across 20 prior buys shows a modest 58.33% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of -0.4%, providing limited predictive weight for this transaction's direction. The valuation context is modest (P/E of 10.09, market cap $514.3M, net income $13.7M), though this alone cannot establish whether the purchases represent conviction or opportunistic accumulation at depressed levels.

Significance 5/10

Director Matthew G De Soto bought 1,875 shares ($49,990.13) at MPB on 2025-05-23; cluster buy pattern with 2 other insiders in 14 days

Matthew G De Soto purchased 1,875 shares (1.9K shares) across 3 separate transactions on 2025-05-23 at a blended average price of $26.66, bringing his total holdings to 110,013 shares (110.0K shares). This buy follows four other purchases by De Soto at the same ticker within the prior week (2025-05-16), and the current filing shows a cluster pattern with 2 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days. The stock is trading at $27.27, which is -17.4% from its 52-week high of $33.02 and down -1.8% over 30 days and -4.1% over 90 days. Across De Soto's cross-ticker track record, his 20 prior open-market buys show a 60.00% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of +4.2%, though his immediate prior same-ticker purchase (2025-05-16) has outcomes not yet measurable. The convergence of repeated director buying at a depressed valuation point alongside a cluster pattern merits attention, though the recency of the same-ticker transactions and the absence of completed outcome windows limit definitive signal clarity.

Director De Soto Matthew G bought 309 MPB shares at $25.91 on 2025-03-31; part of 5-insider cluster buy, stock down 22.1% from 52-week high

Director De Soto acquired 309 shares at $25.91 as part of a cluster pattern with 5 other insiders buying within the past 14 days. The stock is trading -22.1% from its 52-week high of $33.02 and has declined 9.4% in the 30-day window prior to this transaction. His prior purchases at MPB (5 trades on 2025-02-04) each showed negative 30-day returns (-6.0% to -7.3%), establishing a pattern of unfavorable short-term outcomes at this specific ticker, despite his cross-ticker track record showing an 80.00% 90-day win rate. The company has a tight P/E of 8.24 with $12.3M in net income and a $497.8M market cap, suggesting reasonable valuations. The convergent buying activity among multiple insiders warrants observation to determine whether this reflects fundamental reassessment or follows a coordinated or discretionary pattern.
