8,570 shares
$33,252
Significance 4/10

Director John Cox purchases 8,570 shares of NWWP in open-market transaction, adding to modest holdings.

Director John D Cox purchased shares in open-market activity, signaling at least modest confidence in the bank's prospects. The purchase represents a small addition to his holdings, and comes at a time when the company remains profitable but faces underlying headwinds—revenue has contracted while profitability persists, suggesting operational pressures are not yet severe. The stock's modest valuation and profitable status make this less dramatic than insider buying at peaks, but a director's decision to add to shares during a period of softening revenue indicates he sees value at current levels rather than concern warranting a defensive stance. This is routine director participation rather than a concentrated conviction play, and its significance depends on whether broader insider activity or company-specific catalysts emerge in the coming quarters.

Significance 4/10

Director COX JOHN D bought 4,234 shares of NWWP at $4.16 on 2026-03-03; holdings now 767,711 shares post-transaction.

Director COX JOHN D purchased 4,234 shares at $4.16, a modest addition representing +0.6% versus pre-transaction holdings of 763,477 shares. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 100.00% 90-day win rate and average 90d return of +7.4%, indicating consistency in his open-market purchase timing across all tickers. However, at NWWP specifically, he has only one prior measurable trade (a buy on 2026-02-13), with no outcome yet determinable. The company posted quarterly revenue of $1,003,000.00 and net income of $2,758,000.00, with full-year revenue declining -1.2% year-over-year. This purchase occurs within a context of modest revenue contraction and warrants observation of whether his historical cross-ticker timing skill extends to this specific holding.

Significance 6/10

Director COX JOHN D bought 11,724 shares of NWWP at $3.84; holds 763,477 post-transaction.

COX JOHN D, a director, purchased 11,724 shares at $3.84 on 2026-02-13, increasing his holdings by 1.6% to 763,477 shares. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market buys with an average 90-day return of +6.0% and a 100.00% win rate, suggesting a consistent ability to identify value positions. However, the underlying business shows mixed signals: net income of $2,758,000 is healthy, but annual revenue growth contracted by -1.2%, indicating a shrinking top line. This director's purchase during a period of declining revenues warrants investor attention to determine whether he is positioned ahead of a business inflection or ahead of further deterioration.

Significance 7/10

Director Cox bought 3,095 shares of NWPP at $3.20; 5 of 5 prior buys at this ticker well-timed at 90-day mark; cluster buy pattern.

Cox purchased 3,095 shares at $3.20 on 2025-11-26, bringing his holdings to 751,753 shares. This represents his sixth buy transaction at NEW PEOPLES BANKSHARES INC in 2025. His prior five trades at this ticker were all well-timed on a 90-day basis (returns of +6.9%, +5.9%, +2.3%, +4.8%, and +4.8% respectively), with a 100% win rate at the 90-day mark. Notably, two other insiders purchased shares within the past 14 days, forming a coordinated cluster buy pattern. The timing pattern and consistent positive outcomes on his NWPP trades, combined with this multi-insider cluster activity, suggest directional conviction at current levels.

Significance 6/10

Director John D Cox purchased 68,025 shares at NWPP for $218,188.65, raising holdings to 748,658 shares (+10.0%)

Director John D Cox executed 2 separate purchases totaling 68,025 shares for $218,188.65 on consecutive trading days (2025-09-02 and 2025-09-03), bringing his total holdings to 748,658 shares (+10.0% vs pre-transaction holdings of 680,633 shares). The purchases occurred at a blended average price of $3.21, near the current price of $3.18 and within the 52-week range ($2.64–$3.54). Examining his same-ticker history at NWPP, Cox's 2 prior buys with measurable 90-day outcomes both produced positive returns (+3.1% and +6.1%), indicating historical timing alignment with subsequent price appreciation. However, his 3 most recent same-ticker purchases (since 2025-06-10) show near-term weakness, with 30-day returns of -3.6%, -2.3%, and pending measurement, suggesting recent acquisition periods have faced headwinds. The stock trades at a P/E of 8.15 with negative annual revenue growth of -1.2%, indicating valuation compression despite his accumulation pattern.

Significance 6/10

Director John D Cox buys 3,300 shares of NWPP at $3.08; holding now 680.6K shares, extending pattern of prior accumulation

John D Cox, Director, purchased 3,300 shares at $3.08 on 2025-08-15, increasing his holdings to 680.6K shares from 677.3K shares. This transaction represents a continuation of his recent accumulation activity at NWPP: Cox has executed 5 buys in the preceding five months. His prior same-ticker trades show mixed near-term results (30-day range -3.6% to +5.0%) but a 3-for-3 record of positive 90-day returns at this ticker. Cross-ticker, his track record spans 19 prior buys with an 88.24% 90-day win rate. The current price of $3.15 is 11.0% below the 52-week high of $3.54, and the stock has gained 4.3% over 30 days. Fundamentals show a low P/E of 8.08 and market cap of $74.3M, though annual revenue growth is -1.2%. The recurring purchase pattern and historical outperformance at this ticker merit monitoring, particularly as the insider maintains substantial holdings.

Significance 6/10

Director John D Cox buys 7,789 shares of NWPP at $3.08; stock down 13.8% from 52-week high, holdings now 677.3K shares

Director Cox purchased 7,789 shares at $3.08 on 2025-06-16, bringing his total holdings to 677.3K shares and representing a 1.2% increase. This transaction is noteworthy because it follows an even more recent purchase of 7,000 shares on 2025-06-10 — two discretionary buys within 6 days. At NWPP specifically, Cox's prior trades show a 3-of-3 pattern of well-timed buys at the 90-day mark (purchases made before the stock rose), including his most recent measurable trade on 2025-03-17 (+6.1% over 90 days). His cross-ticker track record shows an 87.50% win rate on buys over 90 days (avg +5.6% return). The current share price of $3.05 is down 4.1% over 30 days and down 13.8% from the 52-week high of $3.54, while the company trades at a P/E of 8.71 with a market cap of $72.0M. The sequential purchasing behavior combined with consistent prior timing accuracy at this specific ticker suggests Cox sees value at depressed levels, though fundamentals show flat annual revenue growth (-1.2%) in a micro-cap trading near its 90-day lows.

4,154 shares
$12,794
Significance 6/10

Director Cox buys 4,154 shares at $3.08; 5th consecutive buy at NWPP in 4 months; 3 of 3 measurable prior buys well-timed.

Director John D Cox purchased 4,154 shares at $3.08 on 2025-06-10, extending a sustained accumulation pattern at NWPP with five consecutive open-market buys over four months. His three prior purchases at this ticker with measurable 90-day outcomes were all well-timed, with the stock rising 0.3% to 4.6% after each trade, establishing a consistent pattern of purchasing ahead of near-term gains. However, the current price of $3.05 sits -13.8% from the 52-week high and -10.0% over 30 days, suggesting recent headwinds; the company faces -1.2% annual revenue contraction and operates at a modest 8.71 P/E despite $1.9M net income on $877.0K quarterly revenue. The repetitive buy signal from a director with solid cross-ticker timing (86.67% 90-day win rate on 17 prior trades) is noteworthy, but the simultaneous deterioration in share price and fundamentals warrants scrutiny of whether this reflects value recognition or conviction amid deteriorating conditions.

7,500 shares
$21,975
Significance 3/10

Director Cox buys 7,500 shares of NWPP at $2.93; stock now at $3.10, but his prior five NWPP trades all underwater in 30-day windows.

Director John D Cox purchased 7,500 shares at $2.93 on 2025-04-30, expanding his holdings to 665.4K shares. The transaction price sits modestly below the current $3.10 mark and well below the 52-week high of $3.54. However, his same-ticker history at NWPP reveals a consistent pattern: five prior buys across February and March 2025 all posted negative 30-day returns, ranging from -2.0% to -6.2%. His cross-ticker track record shows more balanced outcomes (71.43% 90-day win rate), but no data yet exists to measure whether those outcomes apply at NWPP. The company trades at a P/E of 9.12 with recent quarterly net income of $2.1M against revenue of $995.0K, though annual revenue declined 1.2% year-over-year. This buy adds to a sequence of accumulation at this ticker without yet demonstrating positive timing on the prior entries.

Significance 3/10

Director Cox buys 1,957 shares of NWPP at $2.95; stock down 17.5% from 52-week high

Cox John D (Director) purchased 1,957 shares of NEW PEOPLES BANKSHARES INC (NWPP) at $2.95 on 2025-03-17, increasing his holdings from 655,933 to 657,890 shares. The stock is currently trading at $2.92, down 17.5% from its 52-week high of $3.54 and down 3.0% over the past 30 days. This marks Cox's fifth buy at NWPP within the past two weeks (purchases on 2025-02-25, 2025-02-27, and 2025-02-28), with prior outcomes at this ticker not yet measurable. While Cox's cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +7.8% on 15 prior buys with a 71.43% win rate, same-ticker results are still pending evaluation. The company's fundamentals show a modest market cap of $69,039,896.00, P/E of 9.73, latest quarterly revenue of $995,000.00, and net income of $2,108,000.00, against an annual revenue decline of 2.1%.
