CEO Craig Hurlbert buys 3,250 shares of LOCL at $1.81 (Dec 19); repeated accumulation as 2 other insiders also bought within 14 days
Craig Hurlbert, Chief Executive Officer of Local Bounti Corporation/DE, purchased 3,250 shares at $1.81 on 2024-12-19, adding to his 311,573 pre-transaction holding. This is his third buy at LOCL in nine days (purchases also on 2024-12-16 and 2024-12-11), following two identically-timed buys on 2023-10-31 that each returned +160.2% and +161.6% over 30 days respectively, with both generating +59.4% and +60.2% returns over 90 days. Most significantly, a cluster buy pattern is active: 2 other insiders have also purchased within the past 14 days. Stock currently trades at $2.03, up 18.7% over 30 days and only -5.1% over 90 days. Despite the accumulated buying signal and positive recent price momentum, the company remains deeply unprofitable with net income of $-34.3M against $10.2M in latest-quarter revenue, and the stock trades -37.4% from its 52-week high of $3.24, presenting high fundamental risk that offsets the insider accumulation pattern.
