Director Donald Matthew Bower purchased 4,275 shares of FIRST KEYSTONE CORP at $17.70, increasing his holdings by 53.9% from 7,929 to 12,204 shares, for a total transaction value of $75,667.50. This is Bower's second purchase at this ticker within the past month (the first on 2026-05-28), suggesting continued accumulation. However, context tempers the signal: the current price of $17.70 sits 11.5% below the 52-week high of $20.00, and his prior FKYS buy on 2024-11-15 showed a 90-day loss of 8.8%. Across his cross-ticker track record, Bower has achieved a 0.00% 90-day win rate on prior buys, indicating his timing accuracy at the longer horizon has been weak historically.

Director Donald Matthew Bower purchased 1,000 shares of FIRST KEYSTONE CORP at $18.00 on 2026-05-28, increasing his holdings to 7,929 shares (+14.4% vs pre-transaction holdings). The stock is currently trading at $17.99, down 10.0% from the 52-week high of $20.00, placing the company's valuation at a P/E of 16.06 with a market cap of $113,269,321.62. The timing of this purchase occurs as part of a cluster buy pattern in which 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or aligned management sentiment. However, Bower's own cross-ticker track record shows 0 of 1 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark (average 90-day return -8.8%), and his two prior purchases at FKYS itself similarly failed to capture gains, with the 2024-11-15 buy delivering a 90d return of -8.8%. The transaction occurs as the stock faces recent price weakness (30-day change: -5.2%, 90-day change: -7.7%), warranting attention to whether the insider buying reflects fundamental conviction or simply routine portfolio activity.

Director Bower Donald Matthew purchased 1,500 shares at $16.00 on 2024-11-15, increasing his holdings by 31.4% to 6,283 shares. The stock is currently at $16.00, within 3.8% of its 52-week high ($16.64), and has gained 35.6% over the past 30 days and 29.1% over 90 days. However, his historical track record across all tickers shows 2 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -7.6%, and his prior purchases at FKYS (June 2023 and May 2023) subsequently declined 5.3% and 10.0% respectively over 90 days, with 0 of 2 prior buys proving well-timed. The timing of this buy at elevated price levels, combined with the insider's historical pattern of untimely entries, presents mixed signals that warrant observation.
