Director Karen M Jensen buys 3,000 BUSE shares at $24.60; 4 of 4 prior BUSE buys showed +90d gains.

Jensen, a Director, purchased 3,000 shares at $24.60 on 2025-09-12, increasing her holdings to 86.8K shares (+3.6%). Her track record at BUSE shows a compelling pattern: all four prior measurable buy transactions (2025-05-23, 2025-05-30, 2025-06-13, 2025-07-25) generated positive 90-day returns ranging from +6.9% to +12.2%, with a 100% timing success rate. This fifth purchase continues that sequence in a stock trading 11.7% below its 52-week high, despite 8.2% appreciation over the past 90 days. The director's demonstrated ability to identify entry points at BUSE that subsequently appreciate over the medium term—a pattern distinct from her mixed cross-ticker results (90d win rate 72.73% with -2.6% average 30d return)—suggests conviction specific to this holding.

Director Karen M Jensen buys 2,500 shares of BUSE at $23.25; fifth consecutive buy in three months amid -$30.0M quarterly loss.

Director Karen M Jensen purchased 2,500 shares of FIRST BUSEY CORP /NV/ at $23.25, increasing her holdings from 81,298 to 83,798 shares, marking her fifth open-market purchase at this ticker within roughly three months (buys on 2025-06-13, 2025-05-30, 2025-05-23 twice, and this transaction on 2025-07-25). Her prior four trades at BUSE show strong recent 30-day returns (+6.5%, +5.6%, +3.0%, +3.1%), though the earliest measurable outcome (2025-03-14) delivered a 90-day return of +3.3% despite a 30-day loss of -12.0%. The current price of $22.78 is now 19.8% below the 52-week high and down 1.9% over 30 days, creating price weakness relative to her entry at $23.25. Against this backdrop, the company reported a net loss of -$30.0M in its latest quarter despite quarterly revenue of $125.0M and annual revenue growth of +4.6%, signaling operational headwinds that complicate assessment of the timing. The pattern of repeated small purchases and elevated P/E of 35.59 warrants monitoring of both company fundamentals and whether this accumulation reflects personal conviction or scheduled activity.

Director Jensen buys 5,000 shares of BUSE at $22.50; 2 other insiders bought within 14 days

Director Karen M Jensen purchased 5,000 shares at $22.50 on 2025-06-13, increasing her holdings by 6.6% to 81,068 shares. The purchase occurs within a cluster: 2 other insiders have also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated board-level confidence in valuation. At her BUSE ticker specifically, Jensen's prior two buy transactions (2025-03-14) generated 90-day returns of +3.3% and +4.5%, indicating previous timing success at this stock. However, the company currently faces headwinds: the latest quarter shows a net loss of $-30.0M despite revenue of $124,954,000.00 and 4.6% annual growth, yielding a P/E of 34.75. The stock trades 21.7% below its 52-week high of $28.41, and Jensen's buy at $22.50 was followed by a continued decline to the current $22.24 price. The cluster buy pattern combined with near-term price weakness and significant operating losses warrants attention to whether this represents genuine value positioning or misjudgment of deteriorating fundamentals.

Director Jensen Karen M buys 4,000 BUSE shares at $22.00; stock down -22.7% from 52-week high, cluster buy pattern with 2 others.

Jensen Karen M, a Director, purchased 4,000 shares at $22.00, expanding her holdings by 5.6% to 76,068 shares post-transaction. The purchase occurs within a 14-day cluster buy pattern involving two other insiders, which may indicate coordinated confidence. However, context reveals headwinds: the company posted a latest-quarter net loss of $-29,000,000.00 against revenue of $124,954,000.00, carries a P/E of 34.33, and the stock is trading -22.7% from its 52-week high of $28.41. Jensen's cross-ticker buy history shows an 0.00% 90-day win rate with average 90-day returns of -4.7%, and her prior five purchases at BUSE—including two identical buys on 2025-05-23 just one week prior—have all produced negative 30-day returns ranging from -10.9% to -12.0%. This transaction represents another concentrated position accumulation during a period of fundamental deterioration and unfavorable recent execution across her prior insider trades.

Director Jensen buys 5,500 shares at $21.70 blended avg; stock -22.4% from 52-week high, net income -$30.0M

Karen M Jensen, a Director at FIRST BUSEY CORP /NV/, purchased 5,500 shares across 2 transactions on 2025-05-23 at a blended average price of $21.70, bringing her holdings to 72,068 shares (+8.3% growth). The stock is trading -22.4% from its 52-week high of $28.41 and fundamentals show deterioration: latest quarterly net income was -$30.0M, and Jensen's prior trades at BUSE have underperformed significantly, with all 5 measurable outcomes showing 30-day losses (ranging -10.6% to -12.0%). A CLUSTER pattern is present—2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days—though Jensen's own cross-ticker track record shows 0 of 7 prior buys posted positive 90-day returns. The divergence between Jensen's accumulation activity and the company's negative earnings warrants monitoring of whether this reflects director confidence or adherence to a broader internal buying mandate despite operational headwinds.

Director Jensen Karen M bought 10,000 shares at blended avg $21.91 on Mar 13-14, expanding holdings 18.9% to 63.0K shares.

Director Jensen Karen M executed 4 separate purchases totaling 10,000 shares for $219,065.00 across March 13-14, 2025, at a blended average price of $21.91, raising her holdings from 53.0K to 63.0K shares (+18.9% vs pre-transaction holdings). The stock is currently trading at $22.08, only marginally above her execution prices, while trading at -22.3% from its 52-week high of $28.41 and down -10.6% over the past 30 days. Her prior trades at BUSE show mixed results: a March 2024 buy generated +4.7% 30-day return but only -2.4% over 90 days, while January 2024 purchases underperformed at -7.2% and -5.3% at the 30-day mark, with her 90-day win rate at this ticker at 0 of 3 prior buys. The company's fundamentals are modest (P/E of 12.27, net income $32.0M, revenue growth of +4.6%), offering limited context for attribution of the purchase timing relative to broader market or stock-specific conditions.
