CEO Frank Martell buys 60,260 shares (60.3K) at $1.15 avg in SMRT amid 37.8% decline, poor timing on same-ticker history

CEO Frank Martell executed 2 open-market purchases totaling 60,260 shares for $69,080.89 on 2026-06-04 and 2026-06-05, increasing his holdings by 1.9%. The stock is now trading at $1.10, down 50.0% from its 52-week high of $2.20 and down 37.8% over the past 90 days. At SmartRent, Martell's prior buy on 2026-05-12 resulted in a 30-day decline of -1.6%, and his December 2025 purchases (2025-12-12, 2025-12-15, 2025-12-16) each declined between -12.6% and -15.9% within 30 days, with 90-day returns ranging from -16.9% to -20.3%; only 1 of 5 prior buys at this ticker showed positive 90-day returns. Fundamentally, the company reported a net loss of $-4,448,000.00 in its latest quarter and is unprofitable on a full-year basis, with annual revenue declining 12.9% year-over-year. The combination of persistent execution challenges, negative financial trends, and a pattern of poorly-timed open-market purchases at this ticker over the past six months suggests this acquisition warrants close examination of near-term catalysts or Board-level context.

SmartRent CEO Martell Frank purchases 100,000 shares at depressed prices, expanding stake materially as stock trades well below 52-week highs amid unprofitable operations.

Martell Frank, SmartRent's CEO, acquired 100,000 shares on the open market at $1.1785 per share, adding to a net gain of nearly 220,000 shares through a combination of an exercise and an offset tax-withholding sale. This comes as the stock trades roughly halfway between its 52-week low and 52-week high, having declined significantly over both the preceding month and quarter. Frank's purchase history at SmartRent spans six open-market buys within the 36-month window, and he has never sold shares, establishing a consistent pattern of accumulation. However, his prior five purchases at this company show mixed timing results: one was well-timed with gains following within 30 and 90 days, but four were preceded by subsequent declines at both timeframes, suggesting his timing has been inconsistent despite his commitment to buying. The company's fundamentals present a challenging backdrop—SmartRent posted a net loss on declining year-over-year revenue in its most recent annual period, with losses persisting in the latest quarter—making this a purchase into a financially stressed business rather than one with robust operational momentum. Frank's repeated buying despite unprofitable operations and his accumulated stake now exceeding 3.28 million shares shows sustained confidence, though his prior purchase outcomes suggest market headwinds have dominated his entry points.

CEO Martell Frank purchases 50,000 shares as stock trades well below 52-week highs; prior buys at this company were all poorly timed.

CEO Martell Frank is adding to his position with an open-market purchase while SmartRent trades substantially below its 52-week high and the company grapples with declining revenue and persistent losses. This is his 43rd open-market purchase over three years, making him a consistent buyer, but the track record raises concerns: every one of his five prior purchases at this specific company has been poorly timed, with the stock declining over both the subsequent month and quarter. The company's fundamentals are weak—negative earnings, revenue contraction year-over-year, and a deteriorating balance sheet—making this less a vote of confidence and more a repeat attempt at the same strategy that has not yet worked. While executives sometimes buy into distressed positions believing a turnaround is coming, Frank's historical inability to time these purchases successfully suggests caution is warranted before reading conviction into this trade.

CEO Martell Frank buys 50,000 shares over 2 days (Dec 15–16) at avg $2.06; holdings now 2.11M shares, amid -26.2% YoY revenue decline, unprofitable full-year results.

Martell Frank, Chief Executive Officer, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 50,000 shares for $103,243.51 at an average price of $2.06 on December 15–16, 2025. The timing of these consecutive-day buys follows a flurry of same-ticker activity (5 prior buys within the preceding week at SMRT), and occurs while the stock is up 41.4% over 30 days and 25.0% over 90 days from a depressed base. However, the company's fundamentals remain stressed: full-year net income was negative ($-6,270,000.00 most recent quarter), and annual revenue growth contracted by -26.2% year-over-year. The current price ($2.05) sits near the 52-week high ($2.07), leaving minimal margin of safety. Frank's cross-ticker track record shows a 100% win rate on 20 prior buys with a +22.3% 90-day average return, but his prior trades at this ticker are too recent (outcomes not yet measurable), so there is no established pattern of execution success on SMRT specifically. The buying intensity in a single week combined with persistent operational losses warrants careful monitoring of near-term results.

CEO Frank purchased 50,000 shares (50.0K shares) at $2.07 across 2 transactions, bringing holdings to 2,063,796 shares (2.06M shares)

Martell Frank, Chief Executive Officer of SmartRent, executed 2 separate open-market purchases totaling 50,000 shares for $103,457.50 on 2025-12-11 and 2025-12-12, at a blended average price of $2.07. This represents a +2.5% increase in his pre-transaction holdings of 2,013,796 shares. The timing coincides with a 30-day price movement of +38.9% and a 90-day movement of +42.8%, placing the stock at its 52-week high of $2.07. However, the company faces material headwinds: annual revenue has contracted -26.2% year-over-year, net income was negative at -$6,270,000.00 for the latest quarter, and the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. Frank's cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% 90-day win rate on 20 prior buys with an average 90d return of +13.6%, but his 5 prior purchases at SmartRent all occurred within the past week (2025-12-03 through 2025-12-10), with no measurable outcomes yet. The rapid succession of purchases at an elevated stock price against a backdrop of operational contraction warrants close monitoring of the company's turnaround narrative.

CEO Martell Frank purchases 60,000 shares across 2 transactions for $120,540.00 at blended average $2.01

Martell Frank, Chief Executive Officer of SmartRent, Inc., executed 2 separate open-market purchases totaling 60,000 shares for $120,540.00 ($120.5K) on 2025-12-09 and 2025-12-10, increasing his holdings to 1,507,290 shares (1.51M shares). The timing merits attention: these purchases occurred as the stock rebounded 37.0% over the prior 30 days and 34.2% over 90 days, trading at $2.00 current price near its 52-week high of $2.02. However, the company faces material headwinds—annual revenue contracted 26.2% year-over-year, net income was negative $6,270,000.00 ($-6.3M) in the latest quarter, and the company remained unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. While Frank's cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% 90-day win rate on 20 prior buys averaging +10.1% 90-day returns, his 5 most recent purchases at SmartRent (spanning 2025-12-01 through 2025-12-05) have not yet reached measurable outcomes, leaving ticker-specific conviction unclear. The pattern of consecutive daily accumulation after a sharp recovery suggests opportunistic positioning, though fundamental deterioration creates material execution risk.

CEO Martell Frank buys 124,086 shares of SMRT at $1.91; 4th consecutive daily buy in a 5-trade sequence since Nov 25.

Martell Frank (CEO) purchased 124,086 shares at $1.91 on 2025-12-05, bringing holdings to 1,447,290 shares (+9.4% vs pre-transaction). This is the fourth consecutive daily buy in a 5-trade sequence spanning 2025-11-25 through 2025-12-05, aggregating substantial near-term accumulation by the company's top executive. The CEO's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 100% win rate and +11.4% average 90-day return, though none of his prior SMRT trades have yet matured to measurable outcomes. The company faces significant headwinds: revenue declined 26.2% year-over-year, reported a $-6.3M net loss in the latest quarter, and remains unprofitable. Current price of $1.97 sits at the 52-week high with stock up +40.7% over 30 days and +34.9% over 90 days, suggesting the CEO is accumulating while the stock has appreciated sharply rather than at depressed levels.

CEO Martell Frank bought 127,722 shares in 2 transactions for $239,132.53; holdings now 1,323,204 shares.

Martell Frank, Chief Executive Officer of SmartRent Inc., executed 2 separate purchases totaling 127,722 shares for $239,132.53 at an average price of $1.87, increasing his holdings by 10.7% to 1,323,204 shares. The timing coincides with the stock near its 52-week high of $1.88 and following significant recent momentum (+39.3% in 30 days, +28.8% in 90 days). Frank's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 100.00% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of +20.9%, though his 5 prior purchases at Smrt lack measurable outcomes yet. The company faces headwinds: annual revenue contracted 26.2% year-over-year, the latest quarter showed $-6.3M net income, and the firm remains unprofitable on a full-year basis, suggesting the CEO's accumulation occurs amid operational challenges rather than fundamental strength.

CEO Martell Frank buys 47,278 shares at $1.69 over two days; holding rises 4.1% to 1.20M shares.

Martell Frank, the CEO of SmartRent, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 47,278 shares for $79,933.94 on 2025-12-01 and 2025-12-02 at $1.69 per share, increasing his post-transaction holdings to 1.20M shares. The transaction occurs within the context of recent multi-day buying activity: this same executive has purchased shares on 2025-11-20, 2025-11-21, 2025-11-24, and 2025-11-25—a pattern of frequent open-market acquisitions over approximately two weeks. Notably, the company is currently unprofitable (net income $-6,270,000.00) with annual revenue declining 26.2%, though the stock price has risen 23.0% over the past 30 days and 18.8% over 90 days, now trading at $1.71 against a 52-week high of $1.96. The CEO's cross-ticker track record shows strong performance (20 prior buys with 100% 90-day win rate and +26.5% average 90-day return), but his ticker-specific history at SMRT remains inconclusive: one prior trade measurable at 30 days showed -7.7% return, and the most recent four trades lack measurable 30-day or 90-day outcomes because they occurred too recently (within the last two weeks of November 2025).

CEO Frank bought 100,000 shares (100.0K) for $166,487.77 across Nov 24-25 at $1.60–$1.72; holdings now 1.15M shares (+9.5%)

Martell Frank, CEO of SmartRent, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 100,000 shares for $166,487.77 over November 24–25, lifting his holdings by 9.5% to 1,148,204 shares. The blended average price of $1.66 sits below the current price of $1.74, and the stock has risen 16.8% over 30 days and 18.4% over 90 days. However, context is mixed: the company reported a negative net income of $-6,270,000.00 in the latest quarter, annual revenue declined 26.2% year-over-year, and the stock remains 11.2% below its 52-week high. Frank's cross-ticker track record shows a 100% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of +29.3%, but his prior 5 trades at SMRT have shown negative 30-day returns (ranging from -7.7% to -2.0% on the measurable outcomes), establishing no pattern of successful timing at this specific ticker. The filing warrants examination of the business fundamentals driving this accumulation against a backdrop of contraction.
