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.
