Significance 4/10

CEO Carroll bought 4,221 shares of BDCO at $1.42; stock now $1.24, down 71.2% from 52-week high of $4.30.

CEO Jonathan P Carroll purchased 4,221 shares at $1.42 on 2025-09-11, increasing his holdings to 4,125,000 shares. The stock has since declined to $1.24 (currently -71.2% from its 52-week high and down 18.4% over the past 30 days). At this specific ticker, Carroll's 5 prior buys all resulted in negative 90-day returns ranging from -20.8% to -26.7%, with a 0% success rate at the 90-day mark. The company is unprofitable (net income $-1.7M), revenue has contracted 19.8% year-over-year, and market cap stands at $18.5M. The recent purchase occurs in a deteriorating price environment where both near-term momentum and longer-term fundamentals signal headwinds.

$11,130
Significance 6/10

BDCO CEO Carroll buys 6,000 shares for $11,130 across 6 transactions at $1.74–$1.91, adding to recent accumulation pattern.

Jonathan P. Carroll, CEO & President of Blue Dolphin Energy, purchased 6,000 shares (6.0K shares) for $11,130.00 across 6 separate transactions on April 9–11, 2025, at prices ranging from $1.74 to $1.91, with a blended average price of $1.86. This purchase follows five additional buy transactions at the same ticker just two days prior (April 7, 2025), establishing a consistent accumulation pattern within a narrow timeframe. The current stock price of $2.08 is -72.3% from its 52-week high of $7.50 and up 11.7% over the past 30 days, though down 30.5% over 90 days, indicating significant recent volatility. The company faces material headwinds: annual revenue declined -19.8% year-over-year, the most recent quarter shows a net loss of $-5,000,000.00 on revenue of $82,109,000.00, and the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. The CEO's sustained purchasing activity at depressed prices, following immediately after earlier accumulation, occurs against a backdrop of deteriorating financial performance and substantial shareholder losses from the 52-week high.

Buy
45,000 shares
$92,363
Significance 4/10

CEO Carroll buys 45,000 shares across 20 transactions (Apr 4–7) at blended $2.05; stock down 78.0% from 52-week high.

CEO Jonathan P. Carroll executed 20 separate open-market purchases totaling 45,000 shares for $92,363.00 ($92.4K) over two days (April 4–7, 2025) at a blended average price of $2.05, raising his holdings to 4,114,779 shares. The current price is $1.65, reflecting a 78.0% decline from the 52-week high of $7.50 and a 22.5% drop over 30 days. Carroll's prior five purchases at BDCO (dating back to January 2025) all yielded negative returns at the 90-day mark, with no well-timed entries by that measure. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -37.4% and a 0.00% win rate. The company reported quarterly revenue of $82,109,000.00 ($82.1M) with a net loss of $5,000,000.00 ($-5.0M), annual revenue decline of -19.8%, and remains unprofitable on a full-year basis. The magnitude of this purchase (45,000 shares in rapid succession) stands out against the deteriorating price action and persistent losses, though historical execution at this ticker provides no pattern of well-timed entries by the 90-day mark.

Significance 4/10

BDCO CEO CARROLL JONATHAN P bought 1,000 shares at $3.50 on 2025-01-15; added to 5 prior BDCO purchases in 8 days as stock recovers +37.1% in 30 days from 52-week lows.

CARROLL JONATHAN P, CEO & President, purchased 1,000 shares at $3.50, a small addition to his 4.07M-share position at a company reporting $-5.0M net income on $82.1M quarterly revenue and -18.8% annual revenue decline. This buy follows 5 prior purchases at BDCO made between 2025-01-06 and 2025-01-07. The timing coincides with sharp stock recovery: the stock trades at $3.73 today, up 37.1% over 30 days, but remains 50.3% below its 52-week high of $7.50. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market buys averaging -9.4% 30-day returns, establishing a weak pattern of timing execution overall. The clustering of 6 buys in 9 days during a recovery window, combined with deepening losses and revenue contraction at the company level, presents competing signals that merit investor attention to both the insider's activity pattern and the underlying business trajectory.

Significance 4/10

CEO Carroll buys 8,000 shares across 3 days at $2.67–$2.84, averaging $2.75 vs. current $2.84; stock down 62.1% from 52-week high.

Jonathan P. Carroll, CEO & President of Blue Dolphin Energy Co., executed 8 separate purchases totaling 8,000 shares for $22,000.00 between January 3–7, 2025, at prices ranging from $2.67 to $2.84, with a blended average price of $2.75. The current price of $2.84 is -62.1% from the 52-week high of $7.50, and the company is reporting negative net income of $-5,000,000.00 on quarterly revenue of $82,109,000.00, with annual revenue declining 18.8% year-over-year. Carroll's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior buys with a 0.00% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of -23.0%, while his 5 prior BDCO trades all show negative 30-day returns (ranging from -9.7% to -17.1%), suggesting a consistent pattern of ill-timed purchases. The accumulation itself is modest relative to his post-transaction holdings of 4,068,779 shares (a +0.2% net change), and the deteriorating fundamentals combined with his historical timing pattern warrant careful evaluation of the purchase's underlying motivation.

Significance 4/10

CEO Carroll buys 2,000 shares ($5,530) at BDCO as stock falls 63.1% from 52-week high; 5 prior buys in 15 days.

CEO Jonathan P. Carroll executed 2 separate purchases totaling 2,000 shares for $5,530.00 ($2.75 and $2.78 per share) on 2024-12-17, adding 0.05% to his 4.06M-share position. This transaction is the sixth buy at BLUE DOLPHIN ENERGY CO within the past 15 days (5 prior trades at BDCO on 2024-12-03 and 2024-12-04), showing sustained accumulation as the stock trades 63.1% below its 52-week high and down 17.3% in 30 days and 35.6% in 90 days. Historically, the CEO's cross-ticker record shows 20 prior buys averaging -10.2% 30-day returns and -13.3% 90-day returns, with only a 33.33% 90-day win rate, indicating his buy timing has not been reliable. The company faces operational headwinds: revenue declined 18.8% year-over-year, net income is negative at -$5.0M in the latest quarter, and market cap is only $41.3M, leaving limited margin for error. The rapid sequence of purchases at depressed prices warrants attention to whether the CEO possesses material non-public information or is simply committing capital based on observed valuation without predictive edge.

$28,055
Significance 6/10

CEO Carroll bought 9,500 shares ($28.1K) at $2.95 blended avg, stock -61.3% from 52-week high, company losing money

Jonathan P. Carroll, CEO & President of Blue Dolphin Energy, executed 5 separate purchases totaling 9,500 shares for $28,055.00 across December 3–4, 2024, at prices ranging from $2.90 to $2.98 (blended average $2.95). This purchase occurred while the stock trades at $2.90, down -61.3% from its 52-week high of $7.50 and down -21.9% over the past 30 days. The company reported a net loss of $-5,000,000.00 in its latest quarter against revenue of $82,109,000.00, with annual revenue declining -18.8%, and the stock currently trades at a P/E of 10.74 on a $43.3M market cap. Carroll's decision to deploy $28.1K into his own company's equity during a period of significant price decline and reported operating losses, combined with his recent pattern of 5 prior buys at this ticker within the prior week (November 21–26), suggests he is accumulating shares at depressed prices. However, the company's negative earnings and revenue contraction present material headwinds; the significance of his buy signal is tempered by the fundamental deterioration and the fact that his same-ticker trade history remains unmeasurable (too recent), leaving no outcome basis to assess whether his recent accumulation pattern will prove prescient.

$23,155
Significance 4/10

CEO Jonathan Carroll purchases 7,000 BDCO shares for $23,155.00 as stock falls 14.3% in 30 days

Jonathan P Carroll, CEO & President, executed 4 separate purchases totaling 7,000 shares for $23,155.00 (blended average $3.31) across two trading days (2024-11-25 to 2024-11-26). This adds 0.2% to his holdings of 4.05M shares post-transaction. The timing reflects a modest-sized accumulation in a stock that has declined 14.3% over the prior 30 days and 20.2% over 90 days, currently trading at $3.17 versus the 52-week high of $7.50. Carroll's cross-ticker track record shows 100% accuracy over 90 days with avg +18.6% return on 20 prior buys, though none of his prior BDCO-specific purchases (5 trades at this ticker) yet have measurable 90-day outcomes. The company faces headwinds: negative net income of $-5.0M against quarterly revenue of $82.1M, and annual revenue has contracted 18.8% year-over-year. The purchase occurs within a context of company financial stress and deteriorating market sentiment.

Significance 4/10

CEO Jonathan Carroll buys 17,500 BDCO shares for $58,625.00 at $3.35 avg, amid -55.5% decline from 52-week high and negative fundamentals

CEO Jonathan P. Carroll executed 5 separate purchases totaling 17,500 shares for $58,625.00 at an average price of $3.35 on November 19–21, 2024. The stock is currently trading at $3.34, down 55.5% from its 52-week high of $7.50 and down 9.7% over the past 30 days. The company is unprofitable with net income of $-5,000,000.00 and faces declining revenue (−18.8% year-over-year), raising questions about the operational backdrop for this purchase. Carroll's prior trades at BDCO show consistent 30-day losses (−7.6%, −8.9%, −10.0% on recent October buys), departing notably from his cross-ticker track record of 20 prior buys with a 100% 90-day win rate and +8.0% average 30-day return. The timing and magnitude of this buy, combined with deteriorating stock price momentum and weak fundamentals, deserves scrutiny relative to his historical execution patterns.

Significance 6/10

CEO Jonathan P. Carroll bought 15,000 shares of BDCO across 3 transactions totaling $60,000.00 at $4.00 blended average as stock trades -47.3% from 52-week high.

Jonathan P. Carroll, CEO & President, completed 3 separate purchases totaling 15,000 shares for $60,000.00 on October 14-15, 2024, at prices ranging from $3.95 to $4.05. The purchases occur with the stock trading at $3.95 current price, down -47.3% from its 52-week high of $7.50 and -3.7% over the prior 30 days. Carroll's same-ticker history at BDCO shows 3 measurable prior buys with a 100% win rate at the 90-day mark (returns of +42.1%, +15.6%, and +5.2%), though this represents limited dataset relative to his cross-ticker track record of 20 buys averaging +8.8% over 30 days and +17.6% over 90 days with a 100% 90-day win rate. The company faces headwinds: annual revenue has declined -18.8% year-over-year, net income stands at $-6.4M on $69.7M in quarterly revenue, and the stock has dropped -6.2% over 90 days. The purchase increases Carroll's holdings from 4.01M to 4.02M shares, a +0.4% increase, maintaining his substantial position in the company.
