Director Katz buys 2.0K shares of KODK at $10.30, signaling conviction despite -36.2% decline from 52-week high

Director Philippe D Katz purchased 2,000 shares at $10.30 on 2026-05-13, bringing his holdings to 187.0K shares, at a time when KODAK's stock is trading 36.2% below its 52-week high of $14.87 and has declined 23.5% over the past 30 days. Katz's track record shows 5 prior buys with a 100.00% 90-day win rate and average 90-day returns of +18.2%, suggesting his buying decisions have historically preceded price recoveries. However, the company's fundamentals present a mixed picture: while annual revenue growth stands at 2.5%, KODAK posted a net loss of $-16.0M in the latest quarter on revenues of $265.0M, indicating ongoing profitability challenges. Katz's contrarian buying at a depressed valuation—combined with his historically successful trading pattern—may signal confidence in a turnaround, but investors should weigh this against the company's current unprofitable status and recent sharp price momentum deterioration.

Director Katz Philippe D bought 5,000 shares of KODK at $7.35 on 2025-11-17, extending a pattern of 4 prior accumulations at this ticker.

Katz Philippe D, a director of Eastman Kodak, purchased 5,000 shares at $7.35, increasing his holdings to 185,026 shares (+2.8% vs pre-transaction). This represents the fifth open-market buy at KODK by this insider within roughly 2.5 years, with three of four prior purchases exhibiting positive 90-day returns (buys on 2025-08-14, 2024-12-11, and 2023-05-22 followed by stock appreciation). The current price of $7.12 reflects a modest decline of -17.7% from the 52-week high of $8.65, yet the stock has appreciated +8.4% over the trailing 30 days and +20.1% over 90 days. Kodak's fundamentals remain challenged—annual revenue growth is -6.6%, net income is $13,000,000.00 on revenue of $269,000,000.00, and the P/E ratio of 118.67 reflects the combination of a thin profit margin and modest market cap of $686,368,000.00. The repeated buying pattern at depressed valuations relative to prior highs, combined with an 85-year-old company trading at an elevated multiple, warrants attention to whether director conviction is in conflict with market-wide skepticism on the stock's sustainable profitability.

Director Katz purchases 10,000 KODK shares at $5.67; stock down -27.8% from 52-week high amid -6.6% annual revenue decline.

Philippe D Katz, a Director, acquired 10,000 shares of Eastman Kodak at $5.67 on 2025-08-14, increasing his holdings to 180,026 shares. The purchase occurred as the stock trades at $5.83, down -27.8% from its 52-week high of $8.08 and off -11.8% over 30 days. Fundamentally, the company is struggling: annual revenue declined -6.6% year-over-year to $263,000,000 in the latest quarter, and the company reported a net loss of -$26,000,000. At a P/E of 41.64 on a market cap of $472,230,000, the valuation remains elevated despite operational headwinds. Historically, Katz's prior buys at KODK show mixed timing—two of three achieved positive 90-day returns (+2.2% in 2024-12-11 trade, +3.9% in 2023-05-22 trade), though his most recent purchase on 2024-12-11 has returned only +2.2% over 90 days—suggesting some pattern recognition at this ticker but no systematic advantage.

Director Katz bought 6,000 KODK shares at $6.50 on 2024-12-11, adding to 170.0K shares held.

Philippe D Katz, a Director, purchased 6,000 shares at $6.50 on 2024-12-11 for $39,000.00, increasing his holdings by 6,000 shares (+3.7% vs pre-transaction holdings of 164.0K shares). The timing relative to recent price movement is mixed: KODK trades at $6.80 (current price), down 6.2% from its 52-week high of $7.25, but up 48.2% over the past 30 days and 38.2% over 90 days. Katz's prior trades at KODK show a 50% success rate (1 of 2 prior buys well-timed): his May 2023 buy delivered +3.9% over 90 days, while his November 2023 buy declined -4.9% over the same horizon. The company trades at a P/E of 6.73 on $546.7M market cap, with latest-quarter revenue of $261.0M and net income of $18.0M, though annual revenue is down 7.3% year-over-year. The purchase occurs in the context of recent stock momentum, but Katz's historical execution at this ticker has been inconsistent, and fundamental headwinds (declining annual revenue) temper the significance of this single open-market buy.
