CEO Franco Fogliato buys 200,000 shares (3 separate purchases) for $359,500.00 as stock down -28.0% in 90 days; company unprofitable.
Fogliato Franco, CEO of Fossil Group, executed 3 separate open-market purchases totaling 200,000 shares for $359,500.00 at an average price of $1.80 on 2025-11-18, increasing his holdings by 11.4% to 1,950,000 shares. The timing occurs as the stock trades -28.0% below its 90-day opening price and -45.9% below its 52-week high of $3.75, while the company reported a net loss of $-40,038,000.00 in its latest quarter and negative full-year profitability. His prior FOSL purchases (2024-11-27 and 2024-11-26) showed mixed 90-day outcomes: one delivered +11.7% return, the other -4.7%, with only 50% win rate at this ticker. The cross-ticker TRACK RECORD shows 50% 90-day win rate as well, indicating no pattern of superior timing. The substantial dollar investment ($359.5K) by a sitting CEO during material stock weakness and ongoing losses merits investor scrutiny regarding his assessment of turnaround prospects.
