Director Hilsheimer buys $98k in IBP shares as stock trades 40% below 52-week high; 34th open-market purchase in 3 years.

Director Lawrence Hilsheimer is adding to his stake in Installed Building Products at a meaningful discount to recent highs, purchasing nearly $98k worth of shares on the open market. His buying history is strong: over the past three years he has made 34 open-market purchases versus only 11 sales, and his prior buys have historically generated solid mid-term returns. The company itself remains solidly profitable with consistent revenue and earnings, though the stock has pulled back sharply over recent months and now trades well below its 52-week high. Hilsheimer's continued accumulation at lower prices, combined with his demonstrated track record of well-timed purchases, suggests he views current levels as attractive for adding exposure to a fundamentally sound business.

Significance 5/10

CFO Hilsheimer buys 18.3K shares ($1.6M) while selling 22.8K shares ($1.6M) in multi-leg transaction; net -4,456 shares

Hilsheimer Lawrence A., EVP and CFO of Greif Inc., executed a complex multi-transaction filing on 2026-02-03 and 2026-02-04 involving 4 separate purchases totaling 18,322 shares for $1,626,890.63 and 2 separate sales totaling 22,778 shares for $1,636,150.31—nearly offsetting monetarily but resulting in net disposition of 4,456 shares. The transaction prices ranged from $71.65 to $91.20 across the individual legs, while the stock currently trades at $73.96. His cross-ticker track record shows prior buys with a 0.00% win rate and avg 90d return of -16.7%, and prior sells with a 100% well-timed rate (avg 90d return -9.0%), indicating his historical sell timing has been effective at capturing downside before declines occur. The filing structure—mixing rapid buys and sells across consecutive days at varying prices—does not appear driven by discretionary conviction given the near-dollar-parity of proceeds and expenditure.

Significance 6/10

CFO Lawrence Hilsheimer buys 2,125 shares at $65.52 avg; cluster buy with 2 peers in past 14 days

Hilsheimer Lawrence A., EVP and CFO, executed 2 open-market purchases totaling 2,125 shares for $139,227.51 at a blended average price of $65.52, raising his holdings by 1.1% to 200,569 shares. The transaction occurred when the stock was trading near recent highs ($63.00 current vs. $72.15 52-week high, -12.7% from peak), and his cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day win rate of 0.00% on 16 prior buys. Most significantly, 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, forming a cluster buy pattern that represents coordinated accumulation by multiple executives. This convergence of insider buying at the same time window suggests a shared view of value among the company's leadership, though the CFO's own historical timing on purchases has not produced positive 90-day returns.

Significance 6/10

CFO Hilsheimer sold 4,500 shares at $60.72 while buying 2,000 at $65.49–$65.65; net 2,500 shares reduced (-3.9%)

Lawrence Hilsheimer, EVP and CFO, executed a net reduction in his Greif position via two separate purchases totaling 2,000 shares for $131,140.50 and one sale of 4,500 shares for $273,240.00, resulting in a net decrease of 2,500 shares (-3.9% of pre-transaction holdings). The filing is noteworthy because the CFO bought at higher prices ($65.49–$65.65, near the 52-week high of $72.15) while selling at a lower average price ($60.72), a pattern inconsistent with price-driven conviction. His cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior sales with a 100.00% well-timed rate (stock fell after the sales on average), suggesting past selling acumen; however, this filing's structure—purchasing at higher levels and then liquidating—lacks the same signal. A cluster of 2 other insider purchases in the same 14-day window provides some bullish context, though it does not explain Hilsheimer's own net outflow.

Significance 6/10

GEF CFO Hilsheimer bought 8,342 shares for $566,457.50 (blended $67.90); cluster pattern with 2 other insiders in 14 days.

Lawrence A. Hilsheimer, EVP and CFO of Greif Inc., executed 2 separate purchases totaling 8,342 shares for $566,457.50 on 2025-11-13, raising his holdings by +4.4% to 196,444 shares. The purchase occurred at a blended average price of $67.90, which is 12.7% above the current price of $60.24 and near the 52-week high of $72.15. The filing reflects a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. Notably, Hilsheimer's cross-ticker track record shows 16 prior buys with 0.00% 90-day win rate and average 90-day returns of -12.5%, suggesting his buy signals have historically underperformed in the 90-day window; his 4 prior sales showed a 100.00% well-timed rate (selling before declines). The company generated $1.1B in quarterly revenue with $64.0M net income and +4.4% annual revenue growth.

CFO Hilsheimer buys 21,751 shares ($1.4M) across 4 transactions Nov 12 after selling 33,851 shares ($2.0M) Nov 11; net reduction of 12,100 shares

Hilsheimer Lawrence A., EVP and CFO, executed a net sale of 12,100 shares on November 11–12, involving one discrete $2.0M sale of 33,851 shares at $59.58 on November 11 followed by four separate purchases totaling 21,751 shares for $1.4M at prices ranging from $64.20 to $66.70 on November 12. The transactions occurred when the stock was trading near its 52-week high, with current price at $61.43 (-14.9% from the $72.15 high). His cross-ticker track record shows 17 prior buys averaging -9.7% return over 90 days (0% win rate), whereas his 3 prior sells posted a 66.67% well-timed rate, indicating his historical sale decisions have been more reliable than his purchases. The cluster of buying activity (2 other insiders bought within 14 days) may signal management confidence, though the net reduction in holdings and his historical purchase underperformance suggest caution in weighting this signal heavily.

CFO Lawrence A. Hilsheimer of Greif Inc (GEF) executed simultaneous buy-sell on 2025-07-08: sold 1,000 shares at $68.88, bought 925 at $72.51

Hilsheimer's simultaneous transaction on 2025-07-08 involved 2 separate trades: selling 1,000 shares for $68,877.50 while purchasing 925 shares for $67,073.14, resulting in a net sale of 75 shares. The buy occurred at $72.51, higher than the concurrent sale at $68.88, which is an unusual sequence. Cross-ticker, his prior 5 sales averaged a +5.1% 30-day return and a 20.00% well-timed rate (90-day period), but his 15 prior buys showed average 90-day returns of -8.6% with a 6.67% win rate, suggesting inconsistent execution on the buy side. Holdings declined marginally from 166,426 to 166,351 shares (-0.0% of pre-transaction base), preserving substantial stakes in a firm generating $1,385,700,000.00 quarterly revenue and $47,300,000.00 net income.

CFO Lawrence Hilsheimer buys 1,075 shares of GEF at $69.14; stock down 13.5% in 30 days

Hilsheimer, EVP and CFO of Greif Inc., purchased 1,075 shares at $69.14 on 2024-12-26 for a total value of $74,330.45, increasing his holdings to 165,426 shares. The purchase occurred as the stock trades at $61.26 current price, down 13.5% over the past 30 days and 15.1% below its 52-week high of $72.15. Notably, Hilsheimer's cross-ticker buy track record shows 15 prior purchases with an average 30-day return of -0.7% and 90-day return of -4.7%, suggesting limited predictive value from his historical buying activity. The transaction represents a routine, modest increase of less than 1% to his existing position in a company with $1.5B in quarterly revenue and positive net income of $87.1M.

Significance 4/10

CFO Hilsheimer buys 1,100 shares of GEF at $67.61; currently trades 14.4% below 52-week high.

Lawrence A. Hilsheimer, EVP and CFO, purchased 1,100 shares at $67.61 on 2024-12-23 for $74,371.99, increasing his holdings to 163,251 shares. The transaction occurred when GEF was trading 14.4% below its 52-week high of $72.15 and has declined 13.9% over the prior 30 days. Hilsheimer's cross-ticker track record across all tickers shows 15 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -4.7% and a 90-day win rate of only 8.33%, indicating his recent buy signals have not historically preceded near-term positive price action. The company's fundamentals show $1.5B in quarterly revenue with $87.1M net income and 4.4% annual growth, providing operational context but not explaining the purchase timing.

Significance 3/10

CFO Hilsheimer buys 1,100 shares of GEF at $68.04 on 2024-12-24; holds 164,351 post-transaction.

Lawrence A. Hilsheimer, EVP and CFO, purchased 1,100 shares at $68.04 on 2024-12-24, adding to a substantial existing position of 163,251 shares. The stock has since declined to $61.80, trading 14.4% below its 52-week high of $72.15. Hilsheimer's cross-ticker track record shows modest historical returns on prior buys (avg 30d return -0.7%, avg 90d return -4.7%) and a low win rate of 8.33% over 90 days, suggesting his open-market purchase activity has not consistently preceded price appreciation. The company's fundamentals remain stable with $1.5B in quarterly revenue and 4.4% annual revenue growth, though the recent stock price action does not yet reflect positive momentum from the purchase.
