Glade M Knight

Executive Chairman Glade Knight buys 5,000 shares at $13.97, extending a pattern of consistent accumulation in his hotel REIT while stock trades modestly below 52-week highs.

Glade Knight, Executive Chairman of Apple Hospitality REIT, continues a disciplined buying pattern with this open-market purchase, his sixth in the company over the past three years. The timing is noteworthy: Knight is adding to his substantial stake while the stock trades modestly below its 52-week high, a less opportunistic entry point than his prior purchases but still within the stock's recent trading range. Looking back at his track record at this specific ticker, Knight's prior five open-market purchases showed mixed near-term results—three proved well-timed as the stock rose afterward, while two were followed by declines—suggesting neither remarkable predictive power nor poor judgment, but consistent long-term conviction. The company itself remains solidly profitable with stable fundamentals, generating substantial net income even as recent revenue trends show slight softness, which may explain why the chairman is accumulating rather than selling. This is not a basement-level bargain-hunting buy; it reflects steady, methodical stake-building by someone with direct operational visibility into the business.

His cross-ticker track record across 8 prior buys shows average 90-day returns of -2.5% with a 37.50% win rate, indicating a pattern of modest underperformance.

KNIGHT GLADE M bought 5,000 shares of APLE at $12.29 on 2025-08-19, bringing holdings to 705.3K shares; stock now at $12.32, down 24.5% from 52-week high.

KNIGHT GLADE M purchased 5,000 shares (+0.7% increase to existing holdings of 700.3K shares) at $12.29, with the stock currently trading at $12.32, down 24.5% from its 52-week high of $16.32. His prior trades at APLE show mixed timing: 3 of 5 earlier buys at this ticker yielded positive 90-day returns, but his broader cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -2.0% with a 42.86% win rate, suggesting inconsistent execution. The company's fundamentals remain solid with revenue of $384.4M, net income of $63.6M, and annual growth of +6.5%, at a reasonable 16.21 P/E, yet the stock is near a 52-week low. This modest purchase follows a flat 30-day return (-2.7%) and does not constitute a material position shift relative to existing holdings.

Executive Chairman KNIGHT GLADE M bought 10,000 shares of APLE at $11.43 on 2025-05-06; stock now -28.9% from 52-week high amid cluster activity

KNIGHT GLADE M purchased 10,000 shares at $11.43, expanding holdings to 700,344 shares, while the stock trades at $11.61 (current price), down 28.9% from its 52-week high of $16.32. His cross-ticker track record shows mixed timing: 6 prior open-market buys averaged -1.4% over 30 days and +0.5% over 90 days, with a 40% win rate. At APLE specifically, he has executed 5 prior buys over the past 2 years; 2 of 4 measurable outcomes were well-timed at the 90-day mark (2024-08-08 returned +12.1%, 2023-08-11 returned +3.5%), while the other two declined (-2.7% and -5.0%). This buy occurs as 3 other insiders purchased within the past 14 days, forming a cluster pattern. The company's fundamentals remain stable: P/E of 14.51, $327.7M quarterly revenue, and 6.5% annual revenue growth. The significance is tempered by the stock's recent weakness (-25.9% over 90 days) and the insider's uneven timing history even at this specific ticker.

Executive Chairman Knight Glade M buys 5,000 shares of APLE at $14.54; stock down 13.6% from 52-week high, mixed prior APLE timing.

The stock is currently trading at $14.57, down 5.6% over 30 days and 13.6% from the 52-week high of $16.87. His same-ticker history at APLE shows mixed timing: 2 of 5 prior purchases led to positive 90-day returns (2024-08-08 at +12.1%, 2023-08-11 at +3.5%), while the other three resulted in declines. The company's fundamentals remain solid with Revenue $378,843,000.00 and Net income $56,266,000.00 in the latest quarter, alongside a P/E of 14.43. The modest share purchase alongside a tepid recent price trend and uneven prior execution at this ticker suggests neither strong conviction nor a clear signal of material value recognition.

Knight Glade M purchased 5,000 shares of Apple Hospitality REIT for $70,225.00, a modest addition representing +0.8% growth to an already substantial 632.0K-share position. The stock has declined 19.3% from its 52-week high of $17.41 and is down 5.3% over the past 90 days, trading near the low end of the annual range at $14.05.

His cross-ticker track record demonstrates a 33.33% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of -2.2%, suggesting a pattern of purchases that have not outpaced near-term price pressure. The company itself shows solid fundamentals (annual revenue growth +8.5%, net income $73.9M, P/E 16.34), but the insider's prior purchase timing at this specific ticker has not consistently preceded price appreciation.
