NELSON DENNIS H, President & CEO of BUCKLE INC, sold 20,453 shares (20.5K shares) at $43.52 on 2025-06-11 for $890,149.33 ($890.1K), retaining 1,655,204 shares (1.66M shares) post-transaction. The sale represents a -1.2% reduction in his holdings. The stock has appreciated 11.1% over the prior 30 days and 20.8% over 90 days, but remains 19.3% below its 52-week high of $54.08. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sells with a 46.67% well-timed rate at the 90-day horizon, indicating modest success timing market downturns, though his prior five sales at BKE have not yet produced measurable 90-day outcomes. The company trades at a P/E of 11.40 with annual revenue growth of -3.4%, reflecting revenue decline from the prior fiscal year.

Significance 5/10

BKE CEO Nelson Dennis H sold 74,593 shares for $2,988,891.49 in two separate transactions (May 14-15)

CEO Dennis H executed 2 separate sales totaling 74,593 shares for $2,988,891.49, reducing his holdings from 1,750,250 to 1,675,657 shares (a -4.3% reduction). The stock has appreciated +19.3% over the past 30 days and is trading at $40.84, currently -24.5% from its 52-week high of $54.08. At the cross-ticker level, his prior 20 open-market sells have generated an average 90-day return of -2.5% with a 46.67% well-timed rate, but his same-ticker history at BKE shows 0 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with recent BKE sells (Feb 25 through May 9) showing mixed near-term outcomes ranging from -6.4% to +1.9% at the 30-day mark. The company's fundamentals show modest valuation (P/E 10.42) with annual revenue declining -3.4% year-over-year, net income of $44.2M on $293.6M quarterly revenue, and a market cap of $2.1B. The timing of this sale follows recent shares sales at the same ticker within the past two months, suggesting a pattern of periodic liquidity rather than a decisive response to recent price appreciation.

Significance 5/10

BKE President & CEO Nelson sold 15,340 shares for $560,206.84 across two trades at $36.31–$36.56; stock now down -34.6% from 52-week high.

Dennis H. Nelson, President & CEO of BUCKLE INC (BKE), executed 2 separate sales totaling 15,340 shares (a -0.9% reduction from 1.75M pre-transaction holdings) on April 8–9, 2025 at an average price of $36.52. The stock has since fallen 4.4% over 30 days and 29.9% over 90 days, currently trading at $35.35, which is 34.6% below the 52-week high of $54.08. Across his broader transaction history, Nelson's prior sells have generated an average 90-day return of +2.5% with a 30.77% well-timed rate, suggesting mixed execution; at BKE specifically, however, his 5 prior open-market sales have all been followed by declines within the 30-day window (ranging from -1.5% to -19.0%), with no yet-measurable 90-day outcomes. The company's fundamentals show a P/E of 9.02 and recent revenue contraction of -3.4% year-over-year, but the sale represents a modest position reduction from an executive holding 1.73M shares post-sale, and there is no disclosed material event or strategic driver in the filing.

BKE President & CEO NELSON DENNIS H sold 15,340 shares at $36.32 on 2025-03-17; stock down -23.6% over 90 days.

NELSON DENNIS H sold 15,340 shares (15.3K shares) at $36.32, reducing his holding from 1,663,035 shares (1.66M shares) to 1,647,695 shares (1.65M shares), a -0.9% reduction. The stock has fallen -23.6% over the past 90 days and now trades 28.8% below its 52-week high of $54.08. His prior five trades at BKE have all been sells, with outcomes ranging from -19.0% to -12.4% at the 30-day mark post-transaction, showing a recent pattern of sales into declining price momentum. Against his cross-ticker track record of 18 prior open-market sells with a well-timed rate of 25.00%, his same-ticker activity at BKE demonstrates consistent selling during a prolonged downturn, though none of the five BKE sales had yet achieved measurable 90-day outcomes to confirm timing quality. The company trades at a P/E of 8.67 with annual revenue growth of -6.2%, positioning it in a compressed valuation environment concurrent with revenue contraction.

BKE CEO Dennis Nelson sold 15,340 shares at $39.51; stock down -30.2% from 52-week high

CEO Dennis Nelson sold 15,340 shares at $39.51 on 2025-03-03, reducing holdings by 0.9% to 1,663,035 shares. The sale occurred at a meaningful premium to the current price of $37.77, occurring during a -30.2% decline from the 52-week high of $54.08 and a steep -28.1% 90-day decline. His recent trading pattern at BKE shows consistent selling activity (5 sales since early January) with measurable outcomes trending negative: the 30-day returns on his prior three measurable trades at this ticker were -14.4%, -12.4%, and -10.6%. His cross-ticker track record shows 17 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 18.18%, but his same-ticker history at BKE shows zero well-timed sells at the 90-day measurement point. The company trades at a 8.51 P/E with strong recent fundamentals ($293.6M revenue, $44.2M net income in latest quarter), but annual revenue is declining -6.2% year-over-year. The cadence of sales and the price trajectory merit investor attention.

CEO Nelson Dennis H sold 20,453 shares of BKE at $40.86 (2025-02-25); stock down 27.6% from 52-week high, 18.6% in 30 days.

Nelson Dennis H, President & CEO, sold 20,453 shares at $40.86 on 2025-02-25, reducing holdings from 1,698,828 to 1,678,375 shares. This represents a -1.2% reduction in his position. The sale occurred as the stock has declined significantly: the current price of $39.17 is down 27.6% from the 52-week high of $54.08 and down 18.6% over the past 30 days. At the same ticker, his prior five trades have all been sells, with measurable outcomes showing 30-day returns of -14.4%, -12.4%, -10.6%, and -8.0%, indicating a consistent pattern of selling into weakness. The company's fundamentals present mixed signals: while net income stands at $44.2M on revenue of $293.6M, annual revenue growth is negative at -6.2%, and the stock trades at a low P/E of 8.82. The accumulation of sales at declining prices, combined with deteriorating annual revenue growth, suggests ongoing portfolio reductions during a period of stock weakness.

Significance 5/10

BKE CEO sells 20,453 shares at $43.42; stock down 21.3% from 52-week high amid -6.2% annual revenue decline.

Nelson Dennis H, BKE's President & CEO, sold 20,453 shares at $43.42 on 2025-02-11, reducing his holdings from 1,719,281 to 1,698,828 shares. The stock currently trades at $42.58, down 21.3% from its 52-week high of $54.08 and down 17.6% over the past 30 days. At the broader company level, BKE is grappling with annual revenue contraction of -6.2% despite maintaining a P/E of 9.59 and $44.2M in quarterly net income on $293.6M in quarterly revenue. The CEO's prior trades at BKE show a pattern of recent selling activity (five prior trades since December 2, 2024), with observable 30-day outcomes ranging from -4.5% to -10.6%, though longer-term outcomes remain incomplete. His cross-ticker track record shows 15 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +15.0% and a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating these sales were generally followed by price appreciation—poorly-timed exits from the insider's perspective.

Nelson Dennis H, President & CEO of Buckle Inc, executed two separate sales totaling 20,583 shares for $989,580.02, reducing his holdings from 21.0K shares to 415 shares—a reduction of 98.0% of his pre-transaction position.

His prior five sales at BKE show a mixed pattern with one positive 30-day outcome (+25.4%) but predominantly negative or unmeasured results, and his cross-ticker track record shows a well-timed sell rate of 0.00% across 13 prior sales. The near-complete liquidation of operational equity stake by the chief executive warrants attention in the context of declining revenue and elevated valuation multiples relative to growth trajectory.

BKE President & CEO sold 20,453 shares at $51.57 on 2025-01-06 (post-transaction holdings: 1,739,734 shares).

Nelson Dennis H, President & CEO of Buckle Inc, sold 20,453 shares at $51.57, reducing his holdings by 1.2%.

The company shows modest fundamentals with a P/E of 11.32 and recent annual revenue decline of 6.2%, though the latest quarter posted $293.6M in revenue and $44.2M in net income. This transaction represents routine insider activity without clear pattern of well-timed execution at the same ticker.

BKE CEO Nelson Dennis H sold 20,453 shares at $51.37 on 2024-12-17; stock now $50.40.

Nelson Dennis H, President & CEO of Buckle Inc, sold 20,453 shares (20.5K shares) for approximately $1.05M at $51.37 on 2024-12-17, reducing his holdings from 1,780,640 to 1,760,187 shares (-1.1%). The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $54.08, within 6.8% of the peak. His same-ticker history at BKE shows a pattern of regular sales since early October 2024, with the three measurable outcomes posting positive 30-day returns (+8.9%, +10.8%, +25.4%), though none have yet completed a 90-day observation window. At the cross-ticker level, his 11 prior open-market sales averaged +6.5% over 30 days and +14.6% over 90 days, with a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating his prior sales have generally preceded stock gains rather than declines. BKE trades at a P/E of 11.35 with recent quarterly net income of $44.2M against a $293.6M revenue base, though annual revenue growth is negative at -6.2%. The current price of $50.40 reflects a modest decline of 6.8% from the 52-week high, and the 30-day and 90-day price changes show the stock up +6.7% and +14.9% respectively, consistent with the broader market context.
