Significance 7/10

CEO Bortz buys 20,000 PEB shares at $18.18; stock near 52-week high; prior 4-of-5 trades at ticker were well-timed.

Jon E Bortz, Chairman and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, purchased 20,000 shares at $18.18 on 2026-06-12, bringing his holdings to 1.66M shares. The purchase occurred near the 52-week high ($18.51), with the stock up 31.6% over 30 days and 53.2% over 90 days, following a significant recovery from the $8.88 52-week low. At the same ticker, Bortz has executed 5 prior trades, with 4 of them well-timed at the 90-day mark—his recent buy on 2025-06-06 gained 12.2% in 30 days and 24.5% over 90 days. However, the company remains unprofitable (net income of $-19.3M on revenue of $345.7M in the latest quarter), and annual revenue growth stands at only +1.5%, which constrains the conviction signal. The timing and scale of this purchase merit attention given the insider's demonstrated accuracy at this ticker and the stock's proximity to cyclical highs.

Significance 7/10

CEO Jon E Bortz purchases 40,000 shares ($699.2K) across 2 days as PEB rallies 27.1% in 30 days; his prior 5 PEB trades were 4-of-5 well-timed at 90-day mark.

Jon E Bortz, Chairman and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 40,000 shares for $699,200.00 on 2026-06-10 and 2026-06-11 at blended average price $17.48, raising his holdings from 1,597,110 shares to 1,637,110 shares (+2.5%). The stock has appreciated 27.1% over the prior 30 days and trades at $18.18, only -0.1% from its 52-week high of $18.20. Critically, Bortz's prior 5 trades at PEB show a 4-of-5 well-timed record at the 90-day measurement window, with his four prior buy transactions delivering 90-day returns of +24.5%, +22.8%, +17.9%, and +12.0%. His December 2025 sell at PEB followed by a +2.7% 90-day return suggests that sale was not well-timed. The company remains unprofitable with full-year net income of $-19,274,000.00 against revenue of $345,656,000.00, yet the stock's recent momentum and this CEO accumulation at elevated multiples warrant investor monitoring of whether valuation and operational profitability trends support the sustained price action.

Significance 7/10

PEB CEO Jon E Bortz buys 40,000 shares for $678,600 across two transactions; stock up 35.0% in 90 days as he extends 1.60M share position

Jon E Bortz, Chairman and CEO, executed 2 purchases totaling 40,000 shares for $678,600.00 at an blended average price of $16.96 on 2026-06-08 and 2026-06-09, increasing his holdings from 1.56M shares to 1.60M shares (+2.6%). The timing aligns with strong recent momentum: PEB has delivered a 90-day return of +35.0% and a 30-day return of +16.1%, while Bortz's prior trades at PEB show a 90-day timing pattern where 4 of 5 recent trades were well-timed, with his prior buys at this ticker generating positive 90-day returns of +24.5%, +22.8%, +17.9%, and +12.0%. However, this accumulation occurs within a fundamentally challenged context: the company reported net income of $-19,274,000.00 on revenue of $345,656,000.00 for the latest quarter, and annual revenue growth stands at only +1.5%, with the company unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. The transaction reflects sustained conviction in the position despite underlying profitability constraints.

Significance 6/10

Chairman & CEO Jon Bortz sold 50,000 PEB shares at $11.26; prior 5 buys at this ticker all showed positive 90d returns (12.2% to 24.5%).

Chairman and CEO Jon E. Bortz sold 50,000 shares (50.0K shares) at $11.26 on 2025-12-15, reducing his stake from 1,607,110 to 1,557,110 shares. This sale occurs against a notable backdrop: his five prior trades at Pebblebrook Hotel Trust all were buys, and all showed positive 90-day returns (ranging from +2.4% to +24.5%), with a 5 of 5 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark. The company remains unprofitable (net income $-33.1M in the latest quarter), though revenue grew 2.4% year-over-year. The stock is currently -23.2% from its 52-week high and has declined -3.6% over 90 days despite the insider's strong historical buying track record at this ticker. The pivot from consistent accumulation to a discretionary sale merits investor attention, particularly given the company's continued losses and distance from cycle highs.

Significance 4/10

PEB Chairman BORTZ JON E bought 5,000 shares at $9.50 on 2025-06-06; stock now $9.61 after 90d decline of -20.6%.

BORTZ JON E, as Chairman and CEO, purchased 5,000 shares at $9.50 on 2025-06-06, extending a pattern of five consecutive buys at Pebblebrook Hotel Trust within a 21-day window (2025-05-16 through 2025-06-06). The timing of these purchases occurs within a volatile backdrop: the stock is -35.7% from its 52-week high of $14.94 and has declined -20.6% over the prior 90 days, though it has risen 7.0% over the past 30 days. The company reported a net loss of $-32,947,000.00 in its latest quarter and remains unprofitable on an annual basis, despite modest revenue growth of 2.4% year-over-year. BORTZ's cross-ticker historical buy record shows marginal discipline, with a 36.36% 90-day win rate and an average 90-day return of -3.5% across 20 prior purchases. His holdings now stand at 1,607,110 shares post-transaction, an increase of 0.3% from prior holdings. The concentrated buying pattern alongside persistent unprofitability and negative historical returns warrant closer examination of the CEO's stated rationale for accumulating additional shares during a period of stock weakness.

Significance 5/10

PEB Chairman/CEO Bortz buys 18,000 shares at $9.15, adding to 5 recent purchases in May 2025

Jon Bortz, the Chair and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, purchased 18,000 shares on 2025-05-30 at $9.15, bringing his post-transaction holdings to 1,602,110 shares. This is the fifth discrete insider buy at PEB within a 24-day span (2025-05-07 through 2025-05-30), with no measurable 30-day or 90-day outcomes yet available for any of these trades. The company currently trades at $9.18, down 38.6% from its 52-week high of $14.94, and reported negative net income of $-32,947,000.00 in the latest quarter despite quarterly revenue of $320,266,000.00. Across all tickers in Bortz's open-market history, his prior 20 buy trades showed mixed results: a 36.36% win rate at the 90-day mark with an average 90-day return of -1.8%, though his 30-day average was +1.4%. The sequential purchasing pattern and accumulation in a depressed price environment merit monitoring for material developments or strategic positioning by company leadership.

Significance 3/10

PEB Chairman/CEO Bortz buys 6,000 shares at $9.00; stock down -38.5% from 52-week high, company unprofitable.

Jon E. Bortz, Chairman and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, purchased 6,000 shares at $9.00 on 2025-05-27, bringing his holdings to 1,584,110 shares. This represents a modest addition of 0.4% to his position. The transaction occurs at $9.00 against a current price of $9.19 and a 52-week range of $7.71–$14.94; the stock is trading -38.5% from its 52-week high and has declined -25.0% over the past 90 days despite a +0.9% gain in the past 30 days. The company reported revenue of $320,266,000.00 in the latest quarter but posted a net loss of $32,947,000.00, with full-year profitability negative. Notably, this buy is the fifth consecutive open-market purchase by Bortz at PEB within an 21-day window (2025-05-06 through 2025-05-27), suggesting a sustained accumulation pattern during a period of material stock weakness. His cross-ticker track record across 20 prior buys shows an average 90-day return of -2.6% with a 33.33% win rate, indicating modest historical success in timing buy decisions overall.

CEO Bortz buys 20,000 PEB shares at $8.99 amid -42.1% from 52-week high; 4 prior buys in 6 days

Chairman and CEO Jon E. Bortz purchased 20,000 shares at $8.99 on 2025-05-22, adding to holdings now at 1.58M shares, while Pebblebrook Hotel Trust trades at $8.87, down -42.1% from its 52-week high of $15.33. This purchase is the fifth buy by Bortz in six calendar days (2025-05-06, 2025-05-07, 2025-05-16, 2025-05-20, 2025-05-22), a rapid accumulation pattern at depressed valuations. The company reported $-32.9M net income on $320.3M revenue in the latest quarter and remains unprofitable on a full-year basis, constraining the signal strength of executive buying. Across his 20 prior open-market buys at other tickers, Bortz's cross-ticker track record shows a 30-day average return of -0.9% and a 90-day win rate of 30.77%, suggesting limited predictive value from his historical purchase timing.

Chairman and CEO Jon E. Bortz bought 23,213 shares of PEB at $9.73, increasing holdings to 1,558,110 shares; stock down 40.6% from 52-week high.

Jon E. Bortz, Chairman and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, purchased 23,213 shares at $9.73 on 2025-05-20 as part of a buying pattern: he acquired shares on five separate dates in May and March 2025 (2025-05-16, 2025-05-07, 2025-05-06, 2025-03-24, 2025-03-21). The stock currently trades at $9.11, representing a -40.6% decline from its 52-week high of $15.33, while showing recent positive momentum at +4.8% over 30 days. However, his cross-ticker track record reveals a 28.57% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of -3.3% across 20 prior buys, and at PEB specifically, the two measurable same-ticker purchases (2025-03-24 and 2025-03-21) each showed negative 30-day returns of -16.3% and -14.0% respectively. The company remains unprofitable with a net loss of $-32,947,000.00 on revenue of $320,266,000.00 for the latest quarter, suggesting structural challenges independent of near-term price action.

PEB Chair/CEO Bortz buys 10,787 shares at $10.07 on 2025-05-16; stock down 33.8% from 52-week high despite recent +19.4% bounce.

Jon E. Bortz, Chairman and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, purchased 10,787 shares on 2025-05-16 at $10.07, expanding his holdings to 1.53M shares (+0.7%). The company is currently unprofitable with net income of $-32.9M on revenue of $320.3M, and the stock trades at $10.15, down 33.8% from its 52-week high of $15.33, though it has recovered 19.4% over the past 30 days. Bortz's prior same-ticker purchases at PEB over the past three months (on 2025-05-07, 2025-05-06, 2025-03-24, 2025-03-21, and 2025-03-05) have not yet demonstrated positive outcomes on a 30-90 day horizon, with measurable 30-day results showing declines of -16.3%, -14.0%, and -29.2%. His broader cross-ticker track record of 20 prior open-market buys shows an average 30-day return of -3.0% and 90-day return of -3.2%, with only a 26.67% win rate at the 90-day mark.
