Significance 5/10

Director Frederick D. Disanto purchased 2,000 shares at blended average $21.10 on consecutive days; holdings increased to 103,356 shares post-transaction

Frederick D. Disanto, a Director at Eastern Co (EML), completed 2 separate purchases totaling 2,000 shares for $42,210.00 on June 11–12, 2026 at prices of $21.25 and $20.96, lifting his shareholdings from 101,356 to 103,356 shares (+2.0% vs pre-transaction holdings). The purchases occurred near the current price of $21.75 and represent a discrete open-market acquisition. Disanto's prior 5 trades at EML show mixed results: 2 of his 5 prior buys achieved positive 90-day returns (well-timed entries), while 3 did not, and his cross-ticker track record across 20 prior buys reflects a modest +7.0% 30-day average return but -4.4% 90-day average with only 20% win rate at the 90-day horizon. The company reported trailing-twelve-month revenue of $59,676,538.00 with annual revenue declining -8.7% year-over-year and net income of $640,130.00 at a P/E of 18.59—fundamentals that warrant investor scrutiny given the declining revenue trend.

Significance 3/10

Director DiSanto Frederick D. bought 101 shares of EML at $18.99 on 2026-03-10, total $1,917.99; current price $20.16.

DiSanto Frederick D., a Director of Eastern Co (EML), purchased 101 shares at $18.99 on 2026-03-10, increasing his holdings from 99,689 to 99,790 shares (+0.1%). The transaction occurred at a price 5.8% below the current price of $20.16 and marks the sixth insider buy at EML in the past four months. However, his prior trades at this ticker show a pattern of deteriorating returns: four measurable prior buys at EML posted positive 30-day returns (+3.7% to +7.2%) but negative 90-day outcomes (-1.0% to -2.4%), with 0 of 4 prior buys well-timed at the 90-day mark. His broader cross-ticker record is similarly weak, with 20 prior buys averaging +6.1% over 30 days but -6.2% over 90 days and only a 15.79% win rate. The company's fundamentals show material headwinds: annual revenue declined 8.7% year-over-year, net income is low at $578.9K on $55.3M revenue, and the stock is trading -28.4% from its 52-week high despite a recent +7.0% 30-day rally. This purchase does not signal conviction; instead, it reflects a recurring pattern of purchases that have historically underperformed beyond the initial month.

Significance 3/10

Director DiSanto Frederick D. bought 1,000 shares of EML at $18.39 on 2026-03-06; stock now $19.05.

Director Frederick D. DiSanto purchased 1,000 shares at $18.39, increasing his holdings to 99.7K shares. The stock is trading at $19.05, near the lower end of its 52-week range ($17.79–$28.15), down 32.3% from the 52-week high. His prior five purchases at EML (spanning Nov 18 – Dec 8, 2025) have not delivered 90-day gains; each resulted in negative 90-day returns, with a 0% timing success rate at this ticker. The company's financials show contraction: annual revenue declined 8.7% year-over-year, net income stands at $578.9K on $55.3M revenue, and the stock trades at a low P/E of 5.01, but these metrics alone do not resolve whether the current price represents value or signals deeper business challenges.

Significance 4/10

Director DiSanto buys 111 EML shares at $19.00; stock down 34.3% from high despite 5 prior insider buys within 3 weeks

DiSanto Frederick D. purchased 111 shares of Eastern Co (EML) at $19.00 on 2025-12-08, bringing holdings to 97,550 shares. This marks the 5th insider buy at EML in the past three weeks (2025-11-17 through 2025-12-08), suggesting a pattern of accumulation during a period of weakness. The stock is currently trading at $19.95, down 34.3% from its 52-week high of $30.37 and down 21.0% over the past 90 days. Fundamentally, the company reported annual revenue growth of -0.3% with full-year net income negative, though the latest quarter showed revenue of $55.3M and net income of $578.9K. The repetitive buying pattern over a compressed timeline, combined with sustained price weakness despite operational challenges, merits tracking to assess whether this accumulation reflects contrarian conviction or a bottom-fishing response to deteriorating conditions.

Significance 4/10

Director DiSanto buys 588 shares over 2 days at $18.96 avg, extending 5-trade EML buying streak since Nov 12

Director Frederick D. DiSanto purchased 588 shares in two separate transactions totaling $11,148.80, at a blended average price of $18.96. The stock currently trades at $19.74, up 0.8% from his blended entry, but remains -35.0% from its 52-week high of $30.37 and down -18.1% over 90 days. Notably, this purchase is part of a pattern: DiSanto has executed 5 consecutive buy orders at EML since November 12, 2025, with none yet measurable at the 90-day mark, suggesting sustained accumulation during a prolonged decline. His cross-ticker track record shows mixed outcomes (46.67% 90-day win rate, average 90d return -5.2%), though his cross-ticker buys have averaged +7.6% return over 30 days. The company's fundamentals show recent revenue of $55,336,452 with net income of only $578,936, annual revenue growth of -0.3%, and a full fiscal year that was unprofitable, raising questions about the earnings power underlying the purchase activity.

Significance 4/10

Director Frederick D. DiSanto executed 3 separate purchases totaling 4,925 shares for $93,558.50 between 2025-11-17 and 2025-11-19, at a blended average price of $19.00. The stock currently trades at $18.80, down -38.1% from its 52-week high of $30.37 and -12.2% over the past 30 days. At the same ticker, DiSanto's prior measurable buys (August 2025) posted a 0% win rate at the 90-day mark, with negative returns ranging from -16.0% to -19.3%. Fundamentals show the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, with quarterly revenue of $55,336,452 and net income of $578,936, and annual growth flat at -0.3%. The purchase increases DiSanto's holdings from 91,926 to 96,851 shares (+5.4%), though the timing and magnitude do not suggest conviction given the stock's sustained weakness and prior pattern at this ticker.

Significance 4/10

Director DiSanto acquires 2,571 shares at $19.48 avg; stock down 10.8% in 30d, 35.8% from 52-week high.

DiSanto Frederick D. executed two separate purchases on 2025-11-12 and 2025-11-14, acquiring a combined 2,571 shares (2.6K shares) for $50,093.55 at a blended average price of $19.48. The purchases increased his holdings by 2.9% to 91,926 shares. These transactions occur against a backdrop of significant recent weakness: the stock is down 10.8% over the past 30 days and trades 35.8% below its 52-week high of $30.37, currently priced at $19.49. At the same ticker, his prior five purchases (executed in mid-August 2025) showed positive 30-day returns ranging from 10.4% to 17.3%, though his one measurable 90-day outcome resulted in a -14.0% return. His cross-ticker track record is mixed: 20 prior buys with a 50% win rate at the 90-day mark and an average 90-day return of -1.5%. The company fundamentals add context: it generated $55.3M in quarterly revenue with only $578.9K net income, was unprofitable on a full-year basis, and shows a P/E of 16.24 in the context of a -0.3% annual revenue growth rate. The timing and scale of this purchase merit observation given the extended pullback in the stock, though the director's prior execution record at this ticker does not yet demonstrate reliable timing accuracy.

Director DiSanto bought 1,014 shares at blended $22.99 on EML in 2 transactions, now holding 88,463 shares. Stock at $24.29 (+2.7% 30-day).

Frederick D. DiSanto, a director at Eastern Co, executed two separate purchases totaling 1,014 shares for $23,313.72 on consecutive trading days (414 shares at $22.98 on 2025-08-20 and 600 shares at $23.00 on 2025-08-21), raising his stake to 88,463 shares. The stock is currently at $24.29, representing a 5.6% gain on his blended purchase price and a 2.7% rise over the past 30 days. However, DiSanto's broader cross-ticker trading history shows 20 prior open-market buys with a 90-day win rate of 0.00% and average 90-day returns of -3.8%. At the EML ticker specifically, the director has executed five buys within the past ten days (2025-08-11 through 2025-08-20), though measurable outcomes on these trades are not yet available. The company posted negative net income in its most recent full fiscal year despite quarterly revenue of $70,164,086.00, and annual revenue growth stands at -0.3%, creating a backdrop of fundamental headwinds that context the scale and persistence of these purchases.

Significance 4/10

Director DiSanto buys 5,000 shares of EML in 3 transactions totaling $113,570.00 at avg $22.71; stock down 35.6% from 52-week high.

DiSanto made 3 separate purchases totaling 5,000 shares for $113,570.00 between August 15–19, 2025, at prices ranging from $22.58 to $23.00, increasing his holdings by 6.1% to 87,449 shares. The current price of $22.14 is 35.6% below the 52-week high of $34.36 and 2.7% lower over the past 30 days. Eastern Co. reported quarterly revenue of $70,164,086.00 and net income of $3,440,167.00, but the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year with flat annual growth (-0.3%). Across his open-market history, DiSanto's 20 prior buys averaged a -2.4% return at 90 days with a 22.22% win rate, and his 5 prior buys at EML (most recent dates August 8–12 and June 13–17) lack measurable long-term outcomes or a pattern of successful timing at this ticker.
