ROSENBLOOM KEITH M

Director Keith M Rosenbloom purchases 136,492 shares (136.5K) for $790,844.08 across 3 transactions at blended $5.79 amid -55.4% decline from 52-week high.

Director Keith M Rosenbloom executed 3 separate purchases totaling 136,492 shares for $790,844.08 from August 30 through September 4, 2024, increasing his holdings by 12.8% to 1,200,682 shares. The timing coincides with significant negative momentum: the stock has declined 55.4% from its 52-week high of $13.76 and fallen 28.8% over the past 30 days, trading at $6.13 versus his blended purchase price of $5.79. His prior trading history at AVD shows a poor record: of 5 prior trades at this ticker with measurable outcomes, only 1 of 3 prior buys produced positive 90-day returns (23.4% gain on 2023-11-21), while two other buys declined 36.6% and 12.2% respectively over 90 days. Against this backdrop of weak fundamentals (net income of $-11.7M in the latest quarter, 5.0% annual revenue decline, P/E of 22.70), the large concentrated purchase at depressed prices warrants scrutiny of the underlying operational issues.

Director Keith M Rosenbloom buys 16,480 shares of AVD at $5.74; stock down 57.3% from 52-week high

Keith M Rosenbloom, as Director, purchased 16,480 shares on 2024-08-29 at $5.74, bringing his total holdings to 1,064,190 shares. The purchase occurred against a severely depressed backdrop: the stock has fallen 57.3% from its 52-week high of $13.82 and dropped 33.3% over the prior 30 days alone. At the ticker-specific level, Rosenbloom has made three purchases in the past five days (2024-08-28, 2024-08-30, and 2024-09-03), suggesting rapid accumulation during weakness. However, his same-ticker history is mixed: a prior buy on 2024-05-15 resulted in a 90-day decline of -36.6%, while his cross-ticker track record shows a 90d win rate of only 14.29% despite a modest 30-day average return of +2.8%. Meanwhile, the company is unprofitable (net income of -$11.7M on revenue of $128.2M) and experienced 5.0% revenue contraction year-over-year. The rapid accumulation pattern in a distressed environment warrants closer examination of what may be driving this aggressive insider buying.

AVD director ROSENBLOOM bought 33,555 shares at $5.66 on 2024-08-28, stock down 60.5% from 52-week high of $14.53.

Keith M. Rosenbloom, a director of American Vanguard Corp, purchased 33,555 shares at $5.66 on 2024-08-28, expanding his holdings to 1,047,410 shares. The stock has declined sharply, trading at $5.74 currently—down 60.5% from its 52-week high of $14.53 and down 40.3% over the past 30 days. At the same ticker, Rosenbloom's prior buy on 2024-05-15 saw a 90-day return of -36.6%, while his buy on 2023-11-21 achieved a +23.4% 90-day return; across his broader cross-ticker history, his 9 prior buys averaged -10.2% over 90 days with only a 14.29% win rate. The company posted a net loss of $-11.7M in its latest quarter against revenue of $128.2M, with annual revenue declining 5.0% year-over-year. This purchase occurs amid both significant stock depreciation and operational headwinds, with mixed signals from Rosenbloom's own timing history at this ticker.
