MITAROTONDA JAMES A

Director Mitarotonda buys 2,000 shares of EML at $20.11; 6 other insiders also bought within 14 days, suggesting coordinated accumulation.

Director James A Mitarotonda purchased 2,000 shares at $20.11 on 2026-03-18, bringing his total holdings to 644,342 shares. This transaction occurs as part of a broader cluster pattern: 6 other insiders also bought shares within the past 14 days. At EML specifically, Mitarotonda has executed 5 prior open-market purchases in recent weeks (including two just two days prior), and his prior measurable trades at this ticker show a 2 of 2 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark. The current stock price of $20.33 reflects a -24.4% decline from the 52-week high of $26.90, yet the stock has risen 10.2% over the past 30 days. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $55.3M, a net income of $578.9K, and annual revenue growth of -8.7%, with a low P/E of 5.35. The repeated accumulation by multiple insiders at depressed valuations warrants attention as a potential reversal signal, though the company's declining revenue trend presents countervailing risk.

Director MITAROTONDA JAMES A buys 1,717 (1.7K shares) at $20.93; stock now -25.6% from 52-week high amid cluster of 6 concurrent insider buys.

MITAROTONDA JAMES A purchased 1,717 shares at $20.93 on 2026-03-16, bringing his holdings to 44,511 shares and adding 4.0% to his position. The timing coincides with a marked cluster: 6 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated interest in the company at current levels. His prior five trades at EML show a mixed record—2 of 3 measurable prior buys delivered positive 90-day returns (+5.0% and +2.2%)—but the stock is now trading at $20.13, down 25.6% from its 52-week high of $27.05 and only 8.2% higher on a 30-day basis. The company reports a P/E of 5.30 and annual revenue contraction of -8.7%, which may explain the depressed valuation attracting multiple insider buyers simultaneously.

Director Mitarotonda buys 7,409 shares at $18.43 avg; stock down -32.0% from 52-week high, P/E 5.04.

Director James A. Mitarotonda executed 2 separate purchases totaling 7,409 shares for $136,553.88 on March 6 and 9, 2026, at a blended average price of $18.43 per share. His holdings grew from 634,933 to 642,342 shares, a 1.2% increase. The current stock price of $19.15 is 32.0% below its 52-week high of $28.15, and the company carries a low P/E of 5.04 against recent fundamentals showing quarterly revenue of $55,336,452.00 and annual revenue decline of -8.7%. Mitarotonda's prior 4 trades at EML have produced uneven timing: his most recent purchases (December 2025) were down 5.1% and 9.7% at 30 days post-transaction, while measurable 90-day outcomes on his November 2025 buys showed 0 of 2 well-timed acquisitions. The cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -3.6% across 4 prior open-market buys, with a 0% win rate. This filing reflects a director adding to a depressed position in a struggling revenue environment, but the insider's historical execution record and current price underperformance suggest caution.

Director Mitarotonda buys 1,839 shares of Eastern Co at $19.55; stock down 35.0% from 52-week high, amid broader insider buying cluster.

Director James A. Mitarotonda purchased 1,839 shares of Eastern Co (EML) at $19.55 on 2025-12-16, expanding his holdings to 42,794 shares post-transaction. The transaction occurs as the stock trades -35.0% from its 52-week high of $30.24, and follows three prior insider buys within the past 14 days (a cluster buy pattern). Mitarotonda's own purchase history at EML shows two measurable prior buys from November with positive 30-day returns (+1.8% and +3.1%), though the timing pattern across his portfolio history shows no track record of well-timed buys at the 90-day mark. Fundamentally, the company reported revenue of $55,336,452.00 but remains unprofitable on a full-year basis, with a P/E of 16.38 and market cap of $119,248,972.50; the prior annual revenue contraction of -0.3% suggests headwinds. The coincidence of multiple insider purchases amid a steep drawdown warrants attention to whether this represents an opportunistic entry or a broader signal about management's assessment of value.

Director Mitarotonda buys 2,433 shares of EML at $20.14; stock down 35.1% from 52-week high amid cluster of 6 other insider buys.

Director James A Mitarotonda purchased 2,433 shares at $20.14 on 2025-12-12, increasing his holdings from 632,500 to 634,933 shares. The purchase occurs as the stock trades at $19.63, representing a 35.1% decline from its 52-week high of $30.24, and follows a 22.4% drop over the past 90 days. Notably, six other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, establishing a cluster buy pattern. Fundamentally, the company reported revenue of $55,336,452.00 and net income of $578,936.00 in the latest quarter, though full-year results were unprofitable. The coincidence of multiple insider purchases near a 52-week low, combined with the company's transition from profitability to recent losses, warrants examination of whether these purchases reflect informed conviction or are driven by other factors such as scheduled trading plans or compensation mechanics.

Director Mitarotonda buys 2,400 shares for $47,130.70 at Eastern Co, raising stake to 632.5K shares

Director James A Mitarotonda executed two purchases totaling 2,400 shares over November 12-13, 2025, at a blended average price of $19.64, increasing his holdings from 630.1K shares to 632.5K shares. The current stock price of $19.49 is 35.8% below the 52-week high of $30.37 and has declined 10.8% over the past 30 days, placing the transaction near recent lows. The underlying company is fundamentally challenged: Eastern Co reported a negative net income for its most recent full fiscal year, flat year-over-year revenue growth of -0.3%, and a modest P/E of 16.24, indicating investor skepticism about profitability recovery. The director's modest 0.4% increase in an already substantial 632.5K-share position represents a relatively small incremental commitment in absolute terms, and the timing coincides with material stock weakness rather than earlier in the recent downtrend.
