October 2025
Director Gary Strong purchases 1,000 OVLY shares at $27.50; holdings rise to 12.8K; 4 of 5 prior buys at ticker were well-timed at 90-day mark.
Director Gary Strong purchased 1,000 shares of Oak Valley Bancorp at $27.50 on 2025-10-28, increasing his holdings to 12.8K shares from 11.8K. At his cross-ticker track record, his 16 prior open-market buys averaged a 90-day return of +5.3% with a 75.00% win rate. More specifically at OVLY, Strong demonstrates a strong historical pattern: 4 of 5 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with three of those yielding 90-day returns of +10.9%, +12.2%, and +7.7%. The current purchase occurs when OVLY trades at $27.46, down 13.8% from its 52-week high and down 6.2% over 30 days, positioning the insider to repeat his pattern of buying after pullbacks. The company's valuation metrics—P/E of 9.50 and market cap of $230.1M—provide fundamental context for evaluating whether this buy represents a continued accumulation strategy.
January 2025
Director Strong Gary buys 1,000 shares of OVLY at $27.17; stock down 16.2% in 30 days, but insider's 5 prior OVLY buys all showed positive 90-day returns.
Director Strong Gary purchased 1,000 shares at $27.17 on 2025-01-08, increasing his stake to 11.8K shares (9.2% increase). The stock now trades at $26.38, down 16.2% over 30 days and 17.2% from its 52-week high of $31.84, suggesting recent deterioration in sentiment. However, his track record at OVLY is noteworthy: all 5 prior buys at this ticker posted positive 90-day returns, ranging from +2.6% to +12.2%, with a perfect 5-of-5 timing pattern at the 90-day mark. This purchase occurs during a pronounced price decline, mirroring the conditions under which his previous OVLY accumulations proved accretive. The valuation context is also relevant: at a P/E of 8.88 and market cap of $220.5M, the security trades at a compressed multiple that may reflect temporary distress rather than fundamental deterioration.
August 2024
Director Gary Strong buys 700 OVLY shares at $24.50; holdings up 6.9% to 10.8K shares
Director Gary Strong purchased 700 shares of Oak Valley Bancorp at $24.50 on 2024-08-05, increasing his holdings by 6.9% to 10,842 shares. His cross-ticker track record shows 14 prior buys with a 70.00% 90-day win rate and average 90d return of +5.8%, but his same-ticker history at OVLY is mixed: of 5 prior trades, only 1 of 1 completed transactions (from 2024-02-27) achieved a well-timed outcome (90d +1.2%), while three recent May purchases all posted negative 30-day returns ranging from -2.3% to -3.7%. The stock is currently trading at $25.83, up 9.5% over 30 days but down 14.8% from its 52-week high of $30.32, suggesting recent upward momentum from a lower base. Strong's purchase adds to a pattern of accumulation at OVLY over the past three months, though immediate price outcomes have been unfavorable except for the most recent 30-day period.
