Director H Sanford Riley purchases 11,900 shares at $16.00 across 2 transactions for $190,400.00 at PMTS

H Sanford Riley, a director at CPI Card Group Inc., executed 2 separate purchases totaling 11,900 shares for $190,400.00 at a blended average price of $16.00 on 2026-05-19. The stock currently trades at $15.91, down 11.4% over the prior 30 days and 37.6% below its 52-week high of $25.50, though it has recovered 32.6% over 90 days. Riley's purchase history at PMTS shows 5 prior buys, all with outcomes not yet measurable. His cross-ticker track record spans 8 prior open-market purchases, and none of those prior trades were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The company maintains a healthy revenue base of $147.1M with net income of $2.1M and modest 13.1% annual revenue growth, supported by a P/E of 14.87 and market cap of $182.6M—fundamentals that suggest modest operational stability rather than distress or exceptional growth.

Significance 6/10

Director Riley H Sanford buys 200,000 PMTS shares at $13.51; quadruples stake to 252,366 shares

Riley H Sanford purchased 200,000 shares at $13.51 on 2025-12-04, expanding his holdings from 52,366 to 252,366 shares—a +381.9% increase in position size. The $13.51 entry price sits 14.7% below the current price of $15.82, and notably the transaction occurred near the 52-week low of $11.90, with the stock currently trading 53.9% below its 52-week high of $34.30. At PMTS specifically, Sanford's prior trades show 1 of 4 measurable buys resulted in positive 90-day returns; his cross-ticker track record over 7 prior buys averaged -10.6% over 90 days with a 16.67% win rate. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $137,966,000.00, net income of $2,308,000.00, and a P/E of 12.56, indicating modest profitability and valuation in reasonable range. The material scale of this purchase—$2,702,000.00 total—signals a substantial commitment, though the underlying execution pattern at this ticker suggests directional accuracy has been limited historically.

Significance 4/10

Director Riley H Sanford buys 10,000 PMTS shares at $14.20; stock down 59.8% from 52-week high, now trading $13.80.

Riley H Sanford, a director at CPI Card Group, purchased 10,000 shares at $14.20 on 2025-11-06, adding to his 41,457 pre-transaction holdings (+24.1%). The purchase occurs at a significant discount to the 52-week high of $34.30, with the stock currently trading at $13.80, down 9.3% over the past 30 days. At the same ticker, Sanford's prior trading shows a mixed record: only 1 of 5 prior buys achieved positive 90-day returns, suggesting poor timing historically on PMTS acquisitions. His cross-ticker track record shows 6 prior buys with a 20% 90-day win rate and -5.3% average 30-day return, further indicating a pattern of entering positions that do not immediately appreciate. The company's fundamentals are modest but stable (P/E of 10.95, +8.1% annual revenue growth), leaving this as a position increase during a period of extended price weakness with limited evidence that the insider's prior entries have captured subsequent recoveries.

Significance 4/10

Director Riley H Sanford purchased 10,000 PMTS shares at $15.75; stock now trading -53.1% from 52-week high amid -26.8% 30-day decline.

Riley H Sanford, a Director, purchased 10,000 shares of CPI Card Group Inc. at $15.75 on 2025-08-12, increasing his holdings by 47.5% to 31,033 shares. The purchase occurred as the stock trades at $16.10, down 26.8% over 30 days and 53.1% below its 52-week high of $34.30, suggesting the director acquired shares during a sharp downturn. However, Sanford's timing accuracy at this specific ticker is historically weak: of his 5 prior purchases of PMTS shares, only 1 of 5 showed a positive 90-day return, indicating a poor track record of buying at opportune moments. The fundamentals remain modest with a P/E of 13.64 and recent quarterly revenue of $129.8M, but the stock's sharp recent decline and the director's consistent pattern of unfavorable post-purchase price movements at this ticker warrant observation.

Significance 4/10

Director Riley H Sanford buys 15,000 PMTS shares at $21.51; stock down 40.3% from 52-week high, 302.1% increase to his 20.0K holdings.

Riley H Sanford, a director of CPI Card Group Inc. (PMTS), purchased 15,000 shares at $21.51 on 2025-05-09, expanding his stake from 5.0K to 20.0K shares. The transaction occurs as the stock trades 40.3% below its 52-week high of $34.30 and has fallen 14.5% over 30 days and 29.1% over 90 days. His prior four PMTS purchases between 2023 and December 2024 produced a 90-day win rate of 25% (only 1 of 4 trades were followed by positive returns), with most same-ticker trades resulting in 90-day losses ranging from -5.0% to -15.2%. The company trades at a P/E of 12.26 on fundamentals of $122.8M quarterly revenue and $4.8M net income, with 8.1% annual revenue growth. The timing and magnitude of this buy do not clearly distinguish this transaction from a routine director portfolio move in an underperforming stock.

Riley H Sanford, a director, purchased 2,000 shares of CPI Card Group Inc. (PMTS) at $32.51 on 2024-12-02, increasing his holdings from 7,500 to 9,500 shares. The purchase occurred near the upper end of the stock's 52-week range ($15.02–$33.73), with the current price at $33.73 representing a +0.0% return from the 52-week high. Sanford's prior trading pattern at PMTS is material context: three prior buys (2023-06-07, 2023-06-08, 2023-06-09) all showed negative 90-day returns (-15.2%, -14.6%, -12.0% respectively), with a 0% win rate at the 90-day mark. While recent price momentum is positive (30-day +54.5%, 90-day +26.6%), his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -13.9% on his prior three open-market buys. The company fundamentals reflect near-breakeven operations: $124.8M in quarterly revenue against $1.3M net income, with annual revenue declining -6.6% year-over-year, and a P/E of 24.27 against a $376.4M market cap.
