Director Gorski bought 274 shares at $34.97 on 2026-01-02, raising stake to 846 shares (+47.9%); insider cluster and track record suggest conviction.
Gorski Gerald E, Director, acquired 274 shares of QNBC at $34.97, expanding his holdings by 47.9% to 846 shares post-transaction. The purchase aligns with a broader cluster pattern: 8 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated conviction rather than an isolated trade. At the individual level, Gorski's cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior buys with an average 90-day return of +11.6% and a 100% win rate, demonstrating a consistent ability to time entry points. At this specific ticker, his three prior QNBC purchases were predominantly well-timed at the 90-day mark, most notably the 2024-07-01 buy which delivered +26.3% over 90 days. The stock's current price of $35.25 sits -2.0% from the 52-week high and reflects minimal recent momentum (-0.1% over 30 days), presenting a technically modest entry relative to recent ranges. Against a P/E of 9.99 and net income of $3,648,000.00, this transaction captures a director-level commitment to accumulate shares at a valuation below recent highs and below what insider's own historical timing patterns suggest should reward the purchase.
